If you have nightmares about beeping at Amazon, never be a cashier. I have nightmares about beeping plus customers lol

[darkhall]

a lot of warehouse and factory work has become like this. and awkward hours, even monitor you going to the toilet and make you write everything down you have done and how long it took you as well as cctv watching you everwhere. and work in very noisey and hot conditions under alot of pressure from bosses. almost orwellian

£6.50 an hour lol. A paperboy gets more than that.

[leew]

You can get points for going home sick for the day lol.

Shopping online isn't faster, takes 7 days, can take 3 weeks from China

Under cover 23 year old graduate. Jobs referred to are manual and labour intensive ones. What a waste of his expensive education.

Europe used to be heavily unionized....

I've worked here on and off 2017 was my last time working here worst place to work ever! They treat you like robots not as an employee you get warned for even going to the toilet absolutely disgusting! Targets to high bad pay stupid hours

I don't get why people still use Amazon, given what you're supporting.

At least on eBay, you're buying from other companies and there's a loyalty scheme. With Amazon, you pay them for your loyalty and they even charge you for a device that listens into you in your house so that Amazon can sell you more stuff.

Every now and again there's something I can only get on Amazon. Other than that, there's a tonne of other websites where you can get the same item for the same price, and with no minimum spend for free delivery.

now closed my aamazon account forever; convenient for whom? the 10, 000 businesses forced to close? staff worked almost to death?

[leew]

£6.50 per hour, lol, a paperboy probably gets more than that.

"Saving a few bugs" ... it a f*ing usb-adapter or cable wouldn't just cost 10€ at the next electronics store, then I wouldn't be forced to buy at Amazon. Many of the stuf I buy also I would need a car and/or travel way too far to get it, so I prefer to get it delivered. And I'm not going to search for a new store for every item I buy.

[smithsRus]

Google Amazon reviews indeed shocking on there

[darkhall]

i would ask the boss to show me how they would do it in the times they set. i did in my old warehouse factory job. they wouldnt as they are suit n tie who has never broke a sweat in there life

[leew]

Adam is ex army and he can't cope with working at Amazon? Really?

[leew]

Why does Adam keep being late for work though?

[brachema]

Work is work it’s not a holiday, a lot of people in life are just lazy .Companies are supposed to pay you for doing nothing.?.

[Jm]

Worked there and didn’t see the problem. The problem is a very lazy generation. I only took the job for something to do during first lockdown.
