31 Amazon Employees Share Their Working Conditions As A Response To Jeff Bezos’ Wealth Continuously Growing
Jeff Bezos is the richest person on the planet. As of 2020, the Amazon owner is worth approximately 175 billion USD. However, not all of the 798,000 people at the company enjoy hearing about his success.
A viral Twitter thread has Amazon employees sharing stories about their poor work environment, sub-par safety standards, and unfair pay, calling Bezos an autocrat and suggesting that he's accumulating his wealth at their expense.
This exchange on Twitter kicked off a viral thread, where Amazon employees explain why Jeff Bezos' wealth isn't worth celebrating

If ALL Amazon workers did this on the same day - that very same day the pay and work conditions would be improved. If MUCH more Amazon workers did this, well then the change would be incremental.
That's exactly what my Mother says. She calls it the modern day plantation
I am not American and I cannot for the life of me understand why you are OK with laws that permit this kind of work environment
People, don't worry about Pauline. She's most likely a russian bot designed to cause a conflict. Stop reacting to it, it will only encourage its activity... Same holds true for FB, please be careful as to whom you're replying to!! They're only designed to diffuse rage and misinformation
I would p**s myself for sure . . . Then I'd quit. There's no excuse for this.
I worked in an Ice Cream plant our guys could only stay in the freezer 20min.
Yeah, you finally get home, pry off your shoes, peel of your socks, and your feet look like two slabs of raw meat.
I worked Receive, I was continually getting Verbal Warnings and what have you for being a "low performer". So I decided to keep a running tally of how many items I did per hour, and add it all up at the end of my shift. My numbers and their numbers would never match up. Never. Initially I thought I'd got my figures wrong, but I asked my mother (who worked in an accounts office before she married my dad) to double check for me, and I was right - my numbers were consistently higher than the "official" Amazon ones.
Pauline Bennet, many people have told you this and I will tell you this too, please f**k off with the unhelpful and unrealistic comments. This entire post has been full of your s**t spewing comments as you desperately try to garner attention to yourself by pretending to be a saviour of the people who would have beaten up Jeff Bezos and shoved Amazon parcels down his throat, when we all know you're just a sad f**k sitting behind your keyboard trying to get someone to accept and look up to you. From all the people who have had the unfortunate experience of reading all your comments, we request that you go through this entire post and remove your comments immediately.
@Pauline Bennet: I kind of hope that someone will report your comment to the FBI for instigating a terrorist act. You've written a load of thoughtless, tasteless comments here, but this one can land you in real trouble.
Every time there's a new intake of temps, five don't come back after morning break, another half a dozen don't come back after lunch, and of the remainder a further ten or a dozen don't come back for their next shift.
I honestly do not know how Amazon is managing to run a business in the UK. We do have laws, although we lost a lot through a certain woman PM, this is not allowed in Britain.
If there's a two man job they think they can get away with just putting one guy on it, they'll do it in a heartbeat.
Frankly, much of this is owed to non-existing labour laws in the US. Working at Amazon in the EU is much different, although still probably not the most fulfilling job. Yes, you always can do better than the baseline as a company, but instead of complaining people ought to do something. Start a union, protest, vote for the right party.
I was just thinking how it is to work for Amazon in Germany and the UK 🤔 And they want to start up Amazon in Sweden too. It would be illegal in multiple ways to force people to work under these conditions in the EU.

Load More Replies...Employer's do not care about the people they employ. They pretend they do; they give you that illusion. But they don't. They really don't.
That kind of generalization doesn't get us anywhere. My employer is a really nice guy whom I know personally and I'd even go as far as considering him a friend. He clearly cares about me and the other people that work for him. Let's call out the Bezos of this world for the damage they do without weakening our arguments by ridiculous generalizations.
