"[...] I'm in the states (or colonies if you will) and I had the unfortunate pleasure of working for a new fulfillment center at launch for about a year. All of this and more is entirely true. Sitting even when nothing is going on is vocally discouraged, almost violently so. An example being a manager (you get several managers of varying authorities) marching over to me and asking me if I was injured, I wasn't of course. He then told me "there's no reason for you to be sitting then, this is a safety hazard, you need to stand up and return to work". Pregnant women were hounded and hassled for being slow to break and slow to return from break, not to mention the times they have to pee."
as someone who works at a major shipping place, i can tell you that they worked me to the point where last week i had a partial stroke from lifting heavy ass boxes all day
any place that ships boxes is literally pure evil and all the negative press is true times a factor of 10
when our 'entire plant supervisor' gets asked about deaths in the facility they literally ( and with a smile ) say " it' s no problem, the entire place is insured "
worker injury / disability is literally just an insurance write-off to them
Jose King
Being a NEET isn't so bad.
Gabriel Cooper
yep, working at a warehouse is hell.
We had 12 hour shifts and have to stand the entire time. If you get caught sitting while on the floor, it's a write up or termination.
>Get fired if they fail to pack at least 2 items per minute
Hah, that's extremely lenient. Our LMS(labor management system) required that you pick about 10 or 20 cases per minute else you got a negative score. I'm so glad I went back to college and didn't have to deal with that bullshit anymore.
Unless you're getting neetbux, and I mean $600+ a month, then no
Dylan Jenkins
Drink more water
Kevin Young
honestly people are telling me to sue and go on disability but idk how i'd even go about proving this since our evil corporation doesn't let you bring evidence gathering devices to work
Angel Bell
my favorite is when the on-site health guy tells people to 'have a gatorade' when you do something like partially break your bones and it doesn't show up on the xray well enough
Brandon Martinez
>doesn't show up on the xray well enough
then it isn't broken, even fractures show up
so nothing was wrong
Jace Gonzalez
>Pregnant women were hounded and hassled for being slow to break and slow to return from break, not to mention the times they have to pee
No pity. If you're going to be less efficient than your colleagues, then you deserve to be paid less than them. These are the same women bitch about "m-muh wage gap". It's not Amazon's baby, if you can't do the work then go home.
Samuel Gonzalez
As a guy who has loaded UPS trailers for years and now delivers, I'm not sure if bullshit or workers are being pussies for having a physical job for the first time
Josiah Gray
Why are pregnant women working in warehouses? No wonder the world is full of retards.
Parker Martinez
Lose some weight, fatty. Maybe then you won't be having strokes every two days.
Oliver Baker
It's not about being physical but meeting production quotas. Every warehouse and distribution center is different.
I've worked at some where I only had to do 2 trucks at day because of low volume. Then there are some where I was expected to do 6+ trucks non-stop.
Amazon is way bigger than UPS.
Gavin Cruz
it's all digital now, hairline fractures don't show up on anything other than film
our hub workload has vastly increased ; instead of doing a bunch of 3 lb boxes, it's nearly all 40lb boxes of steel car parts or heavier
Landon Garcia
>partial stroke >partially break your bone
lazy retarded whiny fucker, I'm sorry your parents have never told you 'no'
Justin Walker
>pregnant women >hard physical labor warehouse job
Why.
Benjamin Evans
Probably because they weren't pregnant before they started working there fucking idiot.
Lincoln Gonzalez
>hairline fractures don't show up on anything other than film
LOL
Noah Wilson
You don't stop paying rent and buying food because you're pregnant.
Julian Flores
I heard the bathroom thing is true for their codemonkeys too.
Angel Thompson
Every neet i've ever seen is clinically depressed and blog about their suicide fantasies so no
Noah Sullivan
i'm in the top 5% out of 300+ negroes in terms of productivity in our hub
basically, say that to my face not on a skinny-nerd-techboard
:^)
Alexander Gray
They shouldn't be fucking around then when they have a job to do.
Henry Butler
I only buy from amazon when its cheaper and I don't use prime
Jason Young
Right, so clearly they should keep working that minimum wage job to support their baby.
Matthew Miller
Good. They better get my shit packed and shipped ASAP
Jackson Russell
>Hah, that's extremely lenient. Our LMS(labor management system) required that you pick about 10 or 20 cases per minute else you got a negative score.
Per person? That's one case every 3 to 6 seconds. Can you elaborate?
Jose Williams
In every civil country there are laws (or it's even stated in the constitution) that guarantee acceptable working condition to pregnant women.
Cameron Sanchez
>t.never done any real work in my life
Zachary Davis
What do you suggest? Quitting and risking homelessness?
Wyatt Morgan
>job is literally pack items into boxes >complain
lol the fuck, not like they promised you some cushy shit
Anthony Robinson
No, we should get our blue wigs, problem glasses and complain about "inequality" in amazon, and that they should hire more women.
Josiah Martinez
If a female is working a warehouse job then it probably has something to do with it being the only one she could find. Finding even a shitty job is difficult since the pool of people applying is so large. It's like winning the lottery.
Zachary Jones
Trump is the greatest threat to humanity at this moment in history. You are not human like him. You are goldmines, yes. You are full of gold. Isnt it wonderful to be golden? Praise the miner, this poor worker has a horribly hard job and deserves tax breaks.
Nicholas Parker
I suggest planning ahead before you have a kid and only doing it when you're financially stable.
Christopher Perry
Amazon is the target because they're the most successful. That's it, they're not evil, they're simply on top in a harsh business, which means harsh working conditions for lots of employees.
Isaiah Taylor
Too bad nobody told that to your parents.
John Cook
whoa it's almost like... you can... quit and find another job...
Tyler Evans
based bezos gonna shred elon musk in the space race
Ryan Wright
>birth rate is already in the trashcan >user suggests being even more picky about when you have kids
Besides, that has nothing to do with employers treating them like shit.
Asher Hall
I was born to a stable marriage with my mother working and my father staying at home raising me. No reason in particular, she just made more. Seeing all the kids these days growing up with a single, unemployment parent is just depressing. They're getting fucked over hard from birth.
Justin Brooks
Yes per person.
>That's one case every 3 to 6 seconds Yes. You have to be picking constantly. Keep in mind this isn't Amazon.
>Can you elaborate? Not much else to say aside from the fact the system was designed by shitty college kids and was never updated. Nobody got a positive score from picking. The manager said they wouldn't take the scores 'that seriously', but here's the catch.
If they caught you slacking off or didn't like you, they'd use that same skewed LMS score to say your performance was bad and then fire you for it.
Needless to say we had a very high turn over rate. Probably only kept 1 or 2 new hires for more than 6 months.
Noah Nguyen
Fuck the worker class. Everything belongs to the capitalist class because we own everything and we create jobs. Workers owe us everything. If we don't make their lives hell and don't shame them due to their condition, they won't have any incentive to become capitalists.
Jordan Miller
>only doing it when you're financially stable. Someone working a min wage job will never be financially stable.
>then they shouldnt have kids if they have a bad job ;)
Gavin Barnes
Thank GNU I'm not a wagie
William Ross
That dosen't sound stable when your father is the bitch.
Jason Wilson
>they shouldnt have kids if they have a bad job ;) That would be the smart thing to do
Asher Diaz
They shouldn't have children if they can't support them. What's difficult to understand about that?
Aaron Rivera
There's a whole collection of studies done into this. Single parent homes fucking suck for a variety of reasons, which always end up in the kids becoming maladjusted losers.
Elijah Stewart
The difficult is this isn't enforced yet. We need eugenics ASAP.
Brody Brown
People should be having more kids, though. Before every first world country gets to the population of Switzerland.
Jonathan Peterson
>Should we stop buying from Amazon? Lol no, this encourages me to buy even more shit. Poor treatment motivates people to not become lazy-ass deadbeats.
Don't like being treated like shit? Work harder.
Ryan Hernandez
Timed bathroom breaks are straight up illegal, something sounds off here.
That's not how xrays work, especially when talking about legal situations. Lawyers can and will weasel their way out of anything.
Easton Foster
>overpopulated world >"people should be having more kids" Get out.
Then we'd be worse than Japan and nobody would be having kids because the majority have shit jobs.
They can support them, with the job they have, just not while they're in the final stages of pregnancy. Is your comprehension so bad that you forgot these pregnant women are still working even though at any other job they'd take a leave of absence?
Julian Taylor
>That's not how xrays work, especially when talking about legal situations. Lawyers can and will weasel their way out of anything.
>ahh it hurts so much give me $ >medical experts say you're fine >your xrays show nothing >but it's broken
lmao
Isaiah Sanders
I'm in favour of higher birthrate, but children born into single parent households in poverty aren't the solution.
The world isn't overpopulated, the third world is.
Benjamin Scott
China and India are to blame for that.
Kevin Evans
>>overpopulated world This is a meme that's never been proven. Some major cities are uncomfortably dense, but it ends there.
Jaxson Diaz
>but children born into single parent households in poverty aren't the solution. Most females who have kids in poverty do it so that the child can support them in the future. An investment.
It's why child rate is so high in 3rd world countries.
Michael Lewis
It's definitely overpopulated if everyone wants a first world lifestyle without destroying the planet in 100 years
John Price
>into single parent households The rate of divorce is only increasing. We're going to have to deal with single parent homes as a society one way or another. >in poverty Few people are actually below the poverty line, unless you define it as 'not at a comfortable level of income'. In that case, who really is?
There's no magical win-win scenario here where birthrates go up, divorce rates go down, and everyone's quality of life drastically improves.
Anthony Williams
>The world isn't overpopulated, the third world is. Wrong. You're very misinformed. The first world is overpopulated as well. The entire world is. Look at the list of countries by demographic density. The top of the list is pretty mixed, there's first world and third world countries in there. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_and_territories_by_population_density
Several European countries are pretty densely populated as well, son. You should inform yourself better.
Read a book.
Austin Fisher
>unless you define it as 'not at a comfortable level of income' I define it as living paycheck to paycheck with no savings.
Surviving, not living.
Matthew Ortiz
Why not? Environmentally friendly alternatives to everything have been invented now.
The long-term positives just don't outweigh the increased costs of using them.
Andrew Morales
>High demographic density = overpopulation Lol
Jack Adams
What the fuck are you talking about, you moron? Jesus Christ, americans are retarded. By your logic anyone who isn't a NEET shouldn't be having children.
Here you get a 6 month paid leave. I can't believe americans are so cucked.
Sebastian Taylor
We need to have bounties for whoever brings in the most pajeet and chink heads. I'm sick of them.
Gabriel Roberts
*votes for bernie*
Christopher Torres
Plenty of people live like that permanently. Asking them to wait to have kids when things are better is essentially asking them to never have kids.
Jason Ortiz
>By your logic anyone who isn't a NEET shouldn't be having children You're right, they shouldn't.
Hudson Hall
Staying at home while her husband provides for her.
Zachary Phillips
You're right, it's not a function of population density. It's a function of ecological footprint. And by that metric, the situation gets even worse for your theory that only the third world is overpopulated, because the ecological footprint of the USA and Europe is humongously bigger.
Jack Walker
All the poo in Inida hurts the planet more than my car.
Isaac Hernandez
>overpopulation is indicated by ecological footprint What am I reading?
My bad, I thought I was replying to a sane individual.
Grayson Reyes
Facts.
Eli Foster
>Should we stop buying from Amazon No. Those normies deserve it for wasting their time and money on partying and doing things to get laid when they should have been learning to be good at computers and investing in crypto. They deserve everything they get.
>muh working conditions you aren't a slave. Nobody is forcing you to work there.
Jace Martin
You 12 or something? That's such a fucking retarded reply.
I'm not the bloke you spoke to, but I'm ex-Army. You're a fucking stroke victim. About as much a threat as constipation. Get a fucking grip.
Samuel Morris
>Plenty of people live like that permanently. Asking them to wait to have kids when things are better is essentially asking them to never have kids. I know, I agree with you. I'm saying that other user is a naive idiot.
Juan Perez
sure you are tough guy. :^)
Austin Cox
>People should be having more kids, though What?! No. We already have a population problem. Adding more poor and uneducated mouthbreathers is exactly what we should NOT be doing
Jace Brooks
>Environmentally friendly alternatives to everything have been invented now. Except that's not true. Why would a third world alternative use environmentally friendly things when they can use cheaper things to get people to a higher standard of living faster?
Wyatt Scott
>Underage child detected You do understand that when people link wikipedia, you can see the source right there. What, did you teacher tell you that Wikipedia is untrustworthy? That's just so you don't copy en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mouse when writing your 6th grade biology paper
Blake Foster
When people stop having kids, which is why we were pointing this out
Aaron Jones
I'm not clicking that shit.
Ryan Mitchell
>Why would a third world alternative use environmentally friendly things when they can use cheaper things to get people to a higher standard of living faster? Because they get sweet dosh from rich western countries such as the US....

little soy latte boy thinks he has muscles because he talks big. That's mighty clever of you kid, hopefully when shit goes down IRL you can use that rapid-fire big mouth of yours to keep the baddies at bay long enough to buy a few innocent people time to escape... While they're killing your dumb ass for being a shit talker.
Society isn't the soft tacky Christmas sweater party you think it is, boy. ciao
Luke Morales
Assuming that you are right, why economists say that EU countries would greatly benefit from people having more kids, and why would even governments pay for campaigns and incentives to have kids?
James Carter
Damn nigger you're tough. How much semen did you eat to get that protein bod?
