Someone once asked the Pope: “How many people work in the Vatican”?
His answer: “About half of them.”
He’s right to watch. Most are lazy and thieves. Good for him watching out for customers.

Is he wrong?
WaPo Fake News writers are lazy, both physically and intellectually.
Democrats really do resent losing their slaves, even today every move is an attempt to put those slaves back on the plantation.
By our creators design we are lazy. The human body might be the most efficient machine that God ever created. We are truly incredible in our ability to process simple grains and proteins... we can live for weeks without food. There are other creatures who can live much longer but they can’t sustain our cognitive abilities. Praise be to our creator.
He is probably correct. I certainly am.
well, actually, you are. Amazon is only using people because writing software to control people is still, at least for a few more months, cheaper than programming robots to replace people. I'm excited to see what happens when the workers who were mistreated by the mega corporations are fired and robots take all the jobs. The corporations I'm sure expect that the workers are just going to take their unemployment and go home to play videogames. I think it's going to be a lot different.
Simple solution: Pay them more to be less lazy.
Where did the Washington Post stand on giving people more money not to have a job rather than go to work?
“as a way to oust employees who might become too comfortable at Amazon.”
Yea, why would you want happy employees who actually enjoy doing their jobs? That’s just crazy talk.

We in the Seattle area know exactly what Amazon’s oppressive work conditions have on their reputation. Those who have worked there tell people, “You don’t want to work at Amazon!”
In my youth I worked for a company that was almost completely unionized. Each job had a “standard”, the number of items/products to be produced in an hour or on a shift. This was probably the result of negotiations between the union and the company. Anyway I found that the amount was usually set at a rate which reflected steady work, not fast or slow.
Management told us that you were not expected to meet standard immediately as each job took time to do well. The union folks warned us not to exceed standard or you would be in big trouble.
Safety regulations were very tight and demanding. Violations could get you fired. Some safety rules I found as ridiculous as some of the union rules but overall the plant worked well and I never saw an accident.
i was too lazy to read the aRTICLE, did it say anythign itneresting?
Why is everyone singeing out Amazon lately?
These sound like jobs for the young. So they can learn that jobs like this are no way to live. High pressure and no freedom.
Jeff Bezos does what he does because he knows what HE is, knows HE cannot be trusted. Only people who are themselves worthy of trust are willing to trust others. They get burned for it on occasion, but at other times they are often pleasantly surprised and richly rewarded by earning the loyalty of their associates.
Nobody is holding a gun to their heads to work there. You don’t like having to hustle, go work at the post office.
Laziness is the mother of invention.
