Maureen Donnelly took a job with Amazon when the retail goliath opened a fulfillment center on Staten Island in September 2018. The 46-year-old Staten Islander quit after just one month. Last week, more than 100 workers and their supporters gathered outside the same 855,000-square-foot packing plant to protest working conditions and spotlight newly released data showing the rate of worker injury there was three times higher than the national average for similar warehouse work. Here Donnelly tells Post reporter Dean Balsamini what is was like to work for Jeff Bezos Amazon, which the National Council for Occupational Safety and Health included on its 2019 Dirty Dozen list of the nations most dangerous employers. Amazon did not immediately return comment.

Not to mention that if you make known your love of country, you go on the shiff list.
These are the people that voted for Trump and gave him the margin of victory.
I clicked on the link and all I got was her picture.
Many years ago there was a documentary on PBS about IBM. It appeared to be a cult. Employees sang songs about T.J. Watson.
oh boo hoo. Sorry if that offends anybody. There are 2 sides to every story. I’d like to see Amazon’s handbook. I’m fairly certain that everything required is noted in it.
People run the robots, just so you all know. Everyone will know when the robots run the people.
The beatings will continue until moral improves.
Metropolis.
Don't worry, no one cares.
“I am fairly certain...”
Close enough.

Amazon warehouses (select Images at top left area of page)
BUT this time of year there is mandatory OT, and can't take vacation days. He says it's no place for whiners or slackers.
Well obviously working for Amazon ages you too
they almost have to be like that, they’re warehouses operating with high volume and quick shipping/delivery deadlines
i would not personally choose to work in such a place
but so long as they maintain safe working conditions and nobody is forced to sign up there...what’s the beef?
If one has ever hired personnel, one knows it takes time to figure out undesirable individual behavior problems. I work on a quicker cycle... two weeks. I fire them, the owner rehires them because he is like that. Suffer them for a bit... then he fires them.
I fired my own wife twice. He rehired her twice, and bitched at me hard. Still won’t fire me for some reason.
She worked her way into a critical position... then quit.
You can only laugh.
[Absolutely no cellphones on the floor! They didnt want anybody taking pictures or giving away their secrets! No food. No drinks except water.]
Bezos is looking to get the delivery operations at least as efficient as FedEx and UPS before he bows to the inevitable Department of Labor edict. His problem is that once Amazon’s package handling and delivery people are unionized, Prime 2nd day delivery will be too unprofitable to sustain.
You’re absolutely correct, other than a triple the average injury rate, but who cares about those little deplorable workers anyhow, right?
Now why is it that conservatism gets a bad name?
[By the second week, I just wanted out. I stayed as long as I did because of my father. I wanted him to be happy that I had a job.]
one, says she's an EMT, WHY IN THE HELL is she working as a stocker if she's an EMT? i don't believe that one
two, I wanted nights, because I had a day job working as a bar manager. By the second week, I just wanted out. I stayed as long as I did because of my father. I wanted him to be happy that I had a job.
if she's a bar manager isn't that a job to make her daddy happy?
three, In the end, I didnt get stock.
i'm pretty sure you have to be there at least a year to get the stock option and were told that by HR, how long was she actually there? not a year that's for sure
I worked at HQ in Seattle - an office job - it was ok and pay was great...it was the commute that sucked. A relative worked there a few years before doing some sort of tech work and he left horrified at the treatment of employees. He just isn’t the type of guy who gets yelled at.
“other than a triple the average injury rate”
These jobs have fewer injuries than the construction trades but are nearly as taxing.
If you are not young and fit, don’t even try it.
