I have been a customer of Amazon.com since 2005 & have always loved their fast shipping & huge product selection. Unfortunately, I am somehow just finding out that they treat their employees horribly.
They work a 55+ hour week & many are so exhausted that they fall asleep while standing. Further, they are NOT allowed to sit down and rest, when things are slow.
How tyrannical is that?
They have such enormous facilities, that the nearest toilet for their employees is at LEAST 1/4 of a mile away.
To add insult to injury, the restrooms are filthy and in chronic disrepair.
They have UNPAID, 15 minute breaks & a 30 minute unpaid lunch. How very generous!
Their bathroom breaks are timed & there is a screen in front of them constantly telling them to produce more & more ..... They are overwhelmed daily with an absolutely insane quota to process 300 orders per hour.
AND WHAT FOR?
So we can make this billionaire below even richer???
In 2016 alone, Amazon raked in 135.99 billion dollars.
....or so we can have an ENDLESS supply of "stuff", that is also destroying our planet and the air quality for the people of China, where the vast majority of these things are manufactured?
Enough is enough!
GOODBYE AMAZON .... it was great knowing you while I was in blissful ignorance.
How dare you treat my brothers and sisters this way!
Pictures truly do speak 1000 words & these photos will now live in my heart, making it VERY easy to give up the conveniences of Amazon ... Nothing that I could ever own, is worth this suffering.
Even if Amazon someday cleans up its act, they will never see one red penny from me again, as that would be akin to returning to an abusive relationship. Not happening.
