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.”
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.
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.
This. This is how you tell that letting the job market “self-regulate” does NOT work.
Of course it works, what are you talking about?
Oh, for the employees? Nooo no no. Not for those haha.
Maybe this is why I have been seeing more drivers wearing masks.
couldn’t amazon just tap into the audio feed then?
The real question is… why the fuck should anyone be micromanaged to this fucking extent. It’s probably hurting actual productivity… even if their broken ass metrics are showing an improvement.
It fucking sucks to be deprived of the joy in what you do - there isn’t much joy in delivery to begin with but vibing to the music while driving down an empty stretch of road is one of the little ones… the more you suck the joy out of a job the less shits your employees will give.
maybe it’s because the more time wage slaves are thinking about not being allowed to sing, the less time they’re thinking about how shitty the pay is
Even slaves were allowed to sing.
I had a job where my boss got angry at me for playing music in my office with the door closed, because I was wasting bandwidth. On my ipod. So I used headphones.
what a tool
Have we Tried giving Jeff Bezos more Taxpayer Money yet to solve this problem?
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.
That’s how you get to be the richest person in the world
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.
Whose camera system is it?
