Yay!!
(Only...they don’t seem to be social distancing..lol.)
We have several Amazon distribution facilities around the greater Houston area. I imagine they are hiring, as well.
Amazon has to be going gangbusters, more than ever.
I was thinking that laid off restaurant peeps could get work at local Amazon’s and grocery stores.
My roommate works the night shift at an Amazon distribution center. They are on mandatory overtime (she’s working 6-10 hour shifts per week)just like they were at Christmas and they are hiring.
However part of the problem as she tells me, is that Amazon enacted a liberal leave policy, so if you feel sick or someone in your family is sick, absences without notices are not counted against you. And they don’t have to prove what their or their family member’s illness is. She tells me she thinks a lot of especially the younger workers are taking advantage of the policy and causing staff shortages on top of the very high demand.
Amazon is looking to hire 100K
They are also advertising for transportation networks - asking if people want to be an entrepreneur and build a fleet of delivery drivers. Like a taxi co for Amazon packages. Great opportunity for uber/lyft/taxi folk go-getters. Or if you’ve got like 85 cousins.
