Many people who have been in abusive work situations know that there’s a point when you should leave but the constant drain from the abuse keeps you in a state of exhaustion that prevents any action. It’s often only once this makes you so physically sick that you have to take the time off and realize this can’t go on any longer.
I believe this is the zone where Amazon wants to keep their employees. Fully exhausted, given up on any possible improvement.
If you find yourself in a situation like this, run like fuck.
Serious question: why do people work at amazon? Are they unaware of what’s happening? Is the money just that good?
The alternative under capitalism is death or at the very least being an outcast from society.
There are no other companies out there. Amazon is the only one.
For many people, yes, there is no other choice. Was that meant to be a joke?
No, people often fail to see how modern day capitalism is basically indentured servitude for those at the bottom.
Here is my question, why would they want to do that? Like I get that they want to maximize productivity, but if you keep pushing them, then eventually people quit. Don’t they still need workers?
The strategy so far has to just hire new ones. The job is so on the rails anyone can do it. The machine tells you where to go, which items to pick up etc
You obviously don’t want people to quit, but they want to push them as hard as possible without making them quit
