Humans are not robots and we should not be treated like one not even in jobs. 674004 https://padlet.com/674004/og2o0wzx7fcxnk5e/wish/845031408 2020-10-20 14:31:33 UTC https://padlet.com/674004/og2o0wzx7fcxnk5e/wish/845031408 how are amazon warehouses treating people like robots? well they don't even let them rest fir not even a second after they are done there task and there are timed. 674004 https://padlet.com/674004/og2o0wzx7fcxnk5e/wish/845108410 “The scan gun I used to do my job was also my own personal digital manager. Every single thing I did was monitored and timed. After I completed a task, the scan gun not only immediately gave me a new one but also started counting down the seconds I had left to do it.” ]]> 2020-10-20 14:47:02 UTC https://padlet.com/674004/og2o0wzx7fcxnk5e/wish/845108410 amazon also has to ALERT the manger just because you have to many minutes of your task. 674004 https://padlet.com/674004/og2o0wzx7fcxnk5e/wish/852497082 “It also alerted a manager if I had too many minutes of “Time Off Task.” At my warehouse, you were expected to be off task for only 18 minutes per shift–mine was 6:30 a.m. to 6 p.m.–which included using the bathroom, getting a drink of water or just walking slower than the algorithm dictated, though we did have a 30-minute unpaid lunch.”

I felt an incredible amount of pressure to repress the human “failings” that made me less efficient than a machine.”]]> 2020-10-22 14:03:39 UTC https://padlet.com/674004/og2o0wzx7fcxnk5e/wish/852514592 These conditions raise concerns of workers because these workers don’t have at least a minutes to rest after they are done with a task due to the fact that the scan gun will immediately give them a new task right away ones they are done with their old one, and they are getting timed to do it which makes them stressed. 674004 https://padlet.com/674004/og2o0wzx7fcxnk5e/wish/852526085 2020-10-22 14:05:57 UTC https://padlet.com/674004/og2o0wzx7fcxnk5e/wish/852526085 I think amazon should start not timing there workers and to let the workers rest at least for a minute after they are done with one task before going into another. 674004 https://padlet.com/674004/og2o0wzx7fcxnk5e/wish/852552954 2020-10-22 14:11:47 UTC https://padlet.com/674004/og2o0wzx7fcxnk5e/wish/852552954 https://time.com/5629233/amazon-warehouse-employee-treatment-robots/ 674004 https://padlet.com/674004/og2o0wzx7fcxnk5e/wish/852559386 2020-10-22 14:13:09 UTC https://padlet.com/674004/og2o0wzx7fcxnk5e/wish/852559386 674004 https://padlet.com/674004/og2o0wzx7fcxnk5e/wish/852564355 2020-10-22 14:14:16 UTC https://padlet.com/674004/og2o0wzx7fcxnk5e/wish/852564355 674004 https://padlet.com/674004/og2o0wzx7fcxnk5e/wish/852567606 2020-10-22 14:14:59 UTC https://padlet.com/674004/og2o0wzx7fcxnk5e/wish/852567606
