Amazon New Phone Ban Policy

[David_TheMan]

You ever had to manage low skilled labor?

 

[David_TheMan]

I don’t work in a place where I have to do that. Also those people shouldn’t have to either. You saying because they work in a factory or whatever they can’t have their phones on them? That’s crazy.

You are conflating two things.
You are conflating the realities of managing low skilled labor
with
Cell phone policies.

I've worked in high skilled labor enviroinments where phones are banned. Anyone who has worked in a SCIF knows this.
You know what you do, you typically have a hardline phone number that people can use for calls.
No different than it used to be when I was younger and worked in grocery stores, you have the phone numbre of the office in the event of emergency on your family side (your work number) and the work place has your emergency contact number in the event of an emergency that you have.

These aren't hard things.

As for the phone policy, that the peopel are so stupid that they just don't leave their phones in their car but have to bring it in and are willing to wait 30 minutes to sign them in and out, tells you the stupidity and mental capacity of that work force.

Nothing new here. I worked at Amazon very briefly in 2019ish in Michigan and they already have a no phone policy and metal detectors. The no phone policy is extreme but also knowing how much people really sneak and use phones at work I know why it’s in place.

My company has that policy too

Idgaf this gig has good benefits and it pays the bills

 

[O.T.I.S.]

I had to run that back when I saw that. Spanish chick too lol.

Can’t front, a Spanish chick with that name did make me do a double take



Bet she got that Yack tho

economy is so bad companies can do this crap because no one is going to quit and be unemployed for months or even years

 

[Elim Garak]

I be having my phone out at my desk the entire day. Work is too boring lol. Hell I'm working and on my phone now.

 

[O.T.I.S.]

My company has that policy too

Is it all smart devices?

We literally have a whitelist of shyt we can rock in jobs in the past. Basically anything with Bluetooth you better leave in your car.

Safest bet is to not bring in shyt that has BT or needs to plug into a usb to charge.


Do that at your own risk…. Might have NCSI at your crib



Amazon trying to step up everything but their wages. My brother works for them doing IT but he always on his phone. I’m gonna hit him up about this to see if it’s just warehouse workers

 

[Field Marshall Bradley]

These low level jobs are intended to keep you docile, overworked with no transferable skills

Most jobs are low level for the most part, so I’m not sure what you’re getting at… The problem is upper management trying to do to much…

Just don't bring your phone in the building.
All the bullshyt excuses are just that excuses.
Funny how we would communicate with our families when there were emergencies pre-cell phones but now idiots act like its a necessity and not a want.

Put the phone down and stop being on it when yo uare supposed to be working, problem solved.
Anyone signing that petition I would get them up out of there.

nikka fukk you. bytch ass company man.

Tired of dumb ass entitled low skilled workers thinking the world owes them something while they use dumb ass excuses for why they need a phone when the majority of human existance we never needed them and got by just fukking fine.

Only chumps are the ones about to lose a good job to robots because they are too stupid to put their phones down, do their job, and if needing entertainment talk to each other.
