If you are sick....you are sick....stay at home...you work in a warehouse ...you can find another job

I was thinking about applying to work at Amazon warehouse but thankfully I got this hotel & restaurant job and I don’t even have to do much

The problem is that his salary isn't 78.5M a year. It's far less. If you divided his stocks or something maybe.

Take your cape off and look again breh. That aint 78 million...

I’ve never worked at amazon before I ve worked for a similar online delivery company with a similar structure to amazon where you’re constantly under pressure do deliver a target. a$$hole supervisors, managers and everyone just miserable. Leaving that company is one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. Can’t imagine how bad it’s actually is at amazon and the people who have to wake up everyday to go to work in that hellhole

But but but China and Nike, child labor and communism....

Them cacs need to be concerned about what's going on HERE. There's been alot of stories about the terrible work conditions at Amazon but you don't hear a peep from anyone. Gotta keep that Amazon Prime fresh

Meanwhile.....

Ah but that same day shipping and delivery.....

Seems like this was the situation



2 Amazon workers die within hours of each other after being denied sick leave

Company is owned by the most popular man in the world right now. Ain't shyt anybody could do unless people burn it to the ground.

Probably time for me to stop paying for Prime in general. I don’t even watch anything and need to stop ordering random shyt

He died of a stroke.....

Probably should have went to the hospital instead of inquiring about sick time.

Amazon is a low class job and like other low class jobs you dont get such amenities as sick leave just like McDonald's dont give that shyt either. Don't realize Amazon warehouse is a low class job because it's a brand name brehs

The workforce in the US is treated like shyt. I live in Germany now and most workers get 6 weeks leave from the jump. That includes McDonald's, grocery store workers, gas station folks, etc. People in Europe are always shocked to find out how little time off US workers get. I'm contracting for a US company so we still go by US laws. I only get 3 weeks vacation and 8 sick days per year but even that more than most people back home.

You right that's 78.5 billion. Which means that's his stocks not his salary. Which means my point still holds.

F*ck that job.. If you sick and can't work leave the stupid job, or lay out in the middle of the floor motionless requesting medical attention..
