Amazon Driver Says Manager Asked Him To Finish His Route Before Heading To The ER, Goes Viral With 177K Views
Being employed at a company that neglects its workers’ values is never fun. To this day, many organizations practice harmful environments that are, frankly, overlooked by many; more and more people are experiencing burnout, and employees are forced to exist in negative cultures where they constantly endure mistreatment.
Folks grow to hate their once beloved professions; they begin to feel unhappy and ultimately fail at their jobs. Even though nowadays, it’s become somewhat of a norm to be vocal about the distress that the workplace brings upon a person, we still have a long way to go.
Raising any concerns on social media, whether work-related or not, is a highly effective method to bring the attention that, sooner or later, will contribute to problem-solving, and this delivery driver did exactly that.

Justin Baker began his TikTok video by revealing that, after the incident, he called his dispatcher, who advised him to call Amazon’s driver support. However, once the man got through, the representative told him to contact the emergency support, where he was put on hold for 10 minutes.
Finally, when the connection was established, the woman greeted the driver and hit him with the good old “how are you?” The guy voiced the video over, saying that he was obviously feeling bad as you rarely get a positive response when you’re calling an emergency line.

The author then mentioned that the woman went on to ask a bunch of “useless” questions. For instance, she wondered whether the man was driving a branded van or if it was just a plain white one; Christine also asked what kind of shoes the guy was wearing, making him question the correlation.
But what’s so puzzling about this unfortunate event is that once the TikToker contacted his manager, he was asked to finish the route before heading to the ER.

Lately, Amazon’s been known for drawing in criticism; people have questioned the company’s ethics and, more importantly, the treatment of their employees. In the comments, the TikToker revealed that it took the company six whopping months to pay for his hospital bills – moreover, they wouldn’t answer the man’s calls until he finally decided to call the state on them.

Is anyone really surprised that a company that created a billionaire doesn't give a s**t about its employees?

Just for the record: the company made him a millionaire not the other way around
Forbes: "Bezos first became a billionaire in 1998, the year after Amazon went public as an online bookseller." So yeah, it made him a billionaire.
That’s like correcting someone’s spelling when they text anything. It does not matter how the scum on the bottom of our shoes got rich.
I don't think Amazon's policies are questionable at all. There's no question they're written by sociopathic monsters who should be getting put in an asylum, not allowed to manage a company.
There have been way too many stories about how horrible Amazon treats its employees for them to be anything but SOP for Amazon and is why I absolutely refuse to order anything from their site. The only way to get big companies to admit they are in the wrong and it is not okay is to hit them in the only place they care about; their profits.
