Inside the hellish workday of an Amazon warehouse employee

Filed in National by on February 24, 2020

We paid $4.5 million so Amazon can treat Delaware workers like disposable garbage.

It took just three days of working full time at an Amazon “fulfillment center” outside of Louisville, Kentucky, for Emily Guendelsberger’s body to break down.

She’d been warned by her supervisors that it would be physically demanding. She’d be on her feet for 12-hour shifts, walking a total of 15 to 20 miles through a 25-acre warehouse — as long as seven New York blocks — looking for merchandise to fulfill online orders.

“(Amazon workers) don’t have an expectation of being treated like human beings,” Guendelsberger says. “It’s become so normalized to be treated like garbage at work and clamp down on your self-respect and dignity.”

But..but..but…Jobs!!

    Brings to mind the image of the guy tied to the clock in Metropolis, as ever all will be sacrificed unto the rich and powerful.
