Amazon trying to cover their ass?
Updated Wednesday, September 4, 2024 5:10 p.m. EST - Amazon reached out to deny the reports of a crack down on singing along with the radio in trucks and provided this PR video clip as evidence. A PR spokesperson told Jalopnik: “This post is completely inaccurate. Amazon has never issued guidance or communications to Delivery Service Partners that prohibits singing in the vehicle.”
This. This is how you tell that letting the job market “self-regulate” does NOT work.
I really wanna go to an event where we’re just literally roasting selected billionaires over a fire, eating popcorn as we listen to their screams, and watch their flesh darken as it burns. So whole celebrating how much negative karma is leaving the earth all at one time.
I’m not even kidding. I would literally enjoy physically going to such an event. Bezos and Musk would probably be the stars of the show.
Does Bezos even “do” anything at all? Ever? Or is he just cashing checks while underlings deal with all the “work stuff”?
I mean I would be downright ashamed if a company with my name all over it was looked on this badly.
Bezos hasn’t been the CEO at Amazon for over three years.
I get what you’re saying but I get weirded out by people who go from "violence is necessary" to glorifying it. I’ve seen people dying before and I don’t think I’d ever find it satisfying to watch any human burning to death.
Justice is one thing but I think there’s a lot of sick fucks who practically get off to violence or at least violence like this in theory because they’ve never seen some horrific shit firsthand.
Maybe this is why I have been seeing more drivers wearing masks.
fuck amazon
This should be addressed by fixing the software, but it seems to be easier or cheaper to instead further burden the workers.
Nah, should be fixed by outlawing such invasive and seriously demented micromanagement.
Well, yeah, but that’d take a government not captured by Corporations.
Nice
Stop using Amazon…
Vote for elected officials that champion regulations
Wow, this may be kinda pathetic, but this might be what gets me to avoid Amazon.
As long as you avoid them, it’s never too late. Fuck 'em.
I honestly can’t even think of a reason to keep giving them money. Half the time you get sold things that are faulty or a scam. They put advertisements on their paid streaming service. They fake the majority of their reviews (have you noticed that nothing on Amazon is below 4 stars these days?). Oh, and I can’t forget the most important part. They aren’t even capable of treating their employees like fucking people. Who comes up with this shit? This is like, cartoon villain kinda shit.
That’s terrible, no one deserves that type of work environment. Hope Bezos slips on a Banana peel…
It’s still crazy to me the the richest man in the world has the worst working conditions. He has more money than he’ll ever need, than he can ever spend. Maybe taking a hit next quarter wouldn’t be the end of the world.
There were probably other people like bezos who didn’t squeeze their workers as much as possible, the market would have filtered them out.
i wonder if amazon signals could be jammed

Amazon is saying this is fake and untrue
Amazon trying to cover their ass? Thank you. I’ll add the update to the post:

All of these delivery drivers work for third parties, not Amazon directly. You can start your own Amazon delivery business and contact to driver for Amazon. Amazon is saying they didn’t tell anybody not to move their lips. One of the third party companies or low level manager told people not to do it because it triggers the camera.
