Amazon warehouse workers reveal their horror stories: Staff claim robots get better treatment, ex-con says it's worse than prison.
They need to stop treating people like robots. Let everyone work a their own pace instead of pushing them to meet ridiculous quotas.

Raymond Velez, worked from October 2018 to November last year.

He said he had to pack at a rate of 700 items per hour and that his colleagues were regularly fired for missing rates.

Velez told the Guardian: 'That's all they care about. They don't care about their employees.

'They care more about the robots than they care about the employees. I've been to Amcare [the company's on-site medical unit] a couple times for not feeling well, and you'd get an aspirin and sent back to work.'

Stower Ilya Geller claimed workers were being watched by surveillance cameras so managers can monitor their productivity rates.

He told the Guardian: 'You're being tracked by a computer the entire time you're there. You don't get reported or written up by managers. You get written up by an algorithm.

'You're keenly aware there is an algorithm keeping track of you, making sure you keep going as fast as you can, because if there is too much time lapsed between items, the computer will know this, will write you up, and you will get fired.'

Some warehouse workers complained of a lack of safety in that some violations were 'brushed aside'.

They treat people like slaves. They should let everyone work at their own pace. Ill bet Bezos couldn't work one day and keep up with the demands they set.

No kidding it's worse than prison. You don't have to work in prison. Living on the outside and taking care of yourself is always harder. Jailbirds are wimps.

So don’t fucking work there. ??? No one is forcing you to work at Amazon. Freaking NPC behavior. Spend ten minutes watching a YouTube on flipping items and realize any one has the ability to make 100k a year if they get off their ass and use their brains instead of mindlessly marching into amazon each day.

If it is so fucking terrible then don't work there...it's not like someone would be developing a career as a warehouse worker that can only be satisfied by Amazon employment.

They do it deliberately to ensure a high turnover rate. That way they don't have to give promotions or raises.

If you work there long enough, they will pay you to quit and tell you to come back in 6 months or so. Workers should file a class action lawsuit, on the grounds that it is a hostile workplace, due to Amazon's attempt to create working conditions to cause workers to quit, or fail to keep up to unreasonable and unsafe quotas.

It's just a bunch of PUSSY MILLENNIALS that don't know the meaning of hard work! I'd bet my life they are just being asked to perform TYPICAL WAREHOUSE WORK but because they are all such WORTHLESS PUSSIES they think it is cruel & unusual treatment!
