also to clarify the body wasn't lying there for a week but a few hours
Still, if your coworker drops dead next to you, you shouldn't be forced to continue to fucking work.
Sure it's sad that a coworker has just died in front of you, but you know what would be even worse than that?
Letting down the shareholders 😢
What is that smell?
Oh that's Greg, he died a week ago, but didn't have PTO and can't check out yet
Isnt the problem that they were left at all?
I don't use Amazon for anything
I have never bought a thing from them
This shit only exists because of people being willing to pay extra, for other people to be exploited, so that they can enjoy some convenience
There was life before all these delivery services. They're not actually necessary
Cutting Amazon out of my life has improved my life a lot.
I now buy books from a local shop lead by a huge sci-fi and manga nerd. She's recommended so many great books I never would have found otherwise.
I try to buy as many things as possible locally, but sadly that isn't possible (or wildly worse) anymore.
But when I do buy online, I buy from smaller independent shops specializing on the thing I'm buying.
That's the thing:
It's actually really easy
People are lazy and are sadly willing to turn a blind eye to the fact that convenience for them comes at the cost of someone else being exploited
All so Bezos can get even more disgustingly rich
I agree OP calls it a horror but the truth is most people will accept it as long as convenient parcels still arrive. They didn't know the person and don't care. I was an amazon user but cut it out. I was fallible but changed.
Ask people if they would give up their parcels...most look at me like I am crazy.
yipee! corporate tech dystopia sooner!
I'm from Europe and Amazon is known to have very shitty working conditions here as well. And then I remember there's America where you're not guaranteed to have (paid) sick leave or even fucking PTO -.-
In america, you're lucky to get unpaid sick leave instead of just being terminated for not coming in anyway whenever demanded by your owner.
Maybe they were doing their family a favor by leaving them clocked in.
Infinite money glitch, only requirements: human sacrifice
Hell yeah
It is horrible, but the title is quite misleading.
Person keeled over unlisted reason
Someone started performing CPR
Management refused to let another come over to sub in when person 1 got tired because it needed to be management or the safety team. Presumably, the safety team would be the relief. My guess is risk of letting an untrained employee help was risk. The first person started cpr before management got there or they would have stopped them too.
Management told everyone to get back to work and not to gawk.
Person died
The news that it happened wasn't released for a week.
All brought to the surface by a Senate hearing on the lack of worker safety at Amazon.
So a person died, maybe work-related. The company gives 0 fucks about other workers' emotional state.
Its not misleading, both claims are true. If people refuse to read articles and only read headlines thats not on the author.
disagree on the last part.
headlines cannot be outright false to their contents, it is acceptable to assume the headline is true to the article
that doesn't change that in this case the headline clearly has two separate claims
