From what I've read Amazon hasn't done jack shit yet. Wholefoods had the changes the workers are complaining about already in the pipe. Last I saw, the current workers are hoping Amazon makes changes away from where they are currently headed.

Amazon sucks and I cancelled my membership over their NFL crap but this just sounds like an inventory management system designed around their actual sales data and loss numbers.

Just In Time ordering is standard pretty much everywhere. Carrying costs today are brutal.

Just wait until AIs can perform the oversight instead of managers. Workplaces may become nightmarish places where you have to sprint all of the time, and if ever you fall off, you're canned. I.e where you have to perform like a machine down to the last detail instead of having room to breathe as a human being. I.e. where each person has an AI riding and threatening him/her continuously.

Wait?! Do your job well, or we'll let you go is a new management system. I think my boss from 1985 has prior art.

The faggots that work at whole foods already ruined it.

According to recent news reportage Amazon warehouse employees are required to pull one order item from shelves every 30 seconds. I could see how Whole Foods people would find this sort of regimentation objectionable.

Apparently the OTS crap predates Amazon buying Whole Foods and they're probably going to scrub it for Amazon's inhouse inventory system.

They're probably going to automate quite a few of these bedwetters out of a job as well, though.

so they are complaining that they are being judged on their job, odd. Seems like a micro managers wet dream, and seems like pointless busy type work so they can pull power trips. On the one hand i see this as an annoyance, but on the other it's not that hard to keep the shelves stocked.
