Amazon delivery drivers 'urinate in bottles to keep to schedule delivering 200 parcels a day', whistleblowers claim | The Independent

Beyond these problems the delivery drivers have they've had problems in the past where they would force their workers to go so hard without brakes they would commonly pass out in the high heat conditions of their warehouses during the hot summer months

Forces? Like with chains and whips?
Bullshit. They supply water and break times. If you can't work under those conditions as many do, find another job. A company can't force a worker to do anything. As far as their wage, its legal, the pay is what the market will demand and you don't need an MBA to pack a fucking box. If this were the case, Amazon would have lawsuits running out of their ass.

I got recruited by Amazon for tech job. They were going to fly me up to Seattle for an interview at their HQ. I told them I wasn't interested. And that's because I knew of their rep as a cutthroat organization that chews up employees.
Nobody has to accept a shitty job.

Did the whole amazon thing for a while and it is true. When I would get into work there would be six large tubs of boxes and a few small hampers of smaller packages. It's a ton for just one person, 10-12 hour days were a regular thing and speeding was almost always being done. Also peeing in a bottle very true.

Would be terrible if any of them wrecked his Crap
