Ah yes, "the literal interpretation game". Must have forgotten the rules to that. Does that game also involve taking people literally when they say Amazon workers aren't allowed to go to the bathroom?DBTrek wrote: ↑Wed Oct 10, 2018 7:32 amZzzzzzz. Time to play the “literal interpretation” game. Guess you have nothing to add.BjornP wrote: ↑Wed Oct 10, 2018 1:16 amAnd the data to back up the claim of Amazon storehouse workers all being Bernie supporters with "class envy" is available where? And was it those workers themselves who decided to cut away their stock options? Or was it maybe someone else who made that decision?

Re: THE ERA OF TRUMP
You haven’t demonstrated the labor conditions are subhuman beyond the anonymous claims repeated in breathless media reports and the assertions of Bernie Sanders. No formal investigation has turned up proof that Amazon subjects employees to subhuman conditions.Speaker to Animals wrote: ↑Wed Oct 10, 2018 8:28 am
The fuck?
That is all I have been posting. You keep responding to me with this Bernie bullshit that I couldn't care less about. Bezos has to pay his workers a minimum wage. I don't give a shit about their pay. I care about the labor conditions being subhuman.
So what have you got, beyond media hysteria and Bernie?

That wasn't hyperbole.
Every movement is tracked by GPS. Every second accounted for. They are given not enough time to go to the restroom, and the restrooms are intentionally built several floors away, down and back up staircases, and out and in through a security checkpoint. If they take too long, which is guaranteed, they get a point on their record. After something like five points they get fired.
The delivery drivers are even worse. The drivers have literally left human shit everywhere around cities because they are not allowed enough time to shit.
This is an Amazon delivery driver leaving a pile of shit:
This isn't because the driver is some subhuman animal. They literally are not given enough time to shit.

Then don't work for them. At the moment - there are plenty of other jobs.

Re: THE ERA OF TRUMP
What is so bad about regulations that require employers to allow employees a reasonable amount of time to defecate during the day without reprisal?
Seriously. Why is that something you feel so necessary to fight against?

How many times do I have to respond to this asinine point??
If we could somehow limit this to Amazon, then fine. But you are not defending just letting Amazon treat people in this way. You are defending the labor practice. If that labor practice is deemed profitable, a corporation is going to adopt it.
This will spread.

Re: THE ERA OF TRUMP
Let's talk about IT workers since so many of you do that work.
I could feasibly design a tracking system similar to Amazon's system that tracks your every movement throughout the day. I can track where your eyes fall on a computer screen (really, that's already available for HCI research so I need only integrate it). I can track how much time you spend *not* doing your work tasks.
I can track how much time you wasted posting here. I can track how much time you wasted on smokebreaks or sitting on the toilet playing your your Viking game on your phone.
I can log your keystrokes and track how many lines of code you type.
Do you really need me to explain how bad this can get?

Amazon in the UK:
https://nypost.com/2016/11/15/amazon-dr ... heir-vans/
Drivers of food delivery trucks forced to shit and piss inside the delivery truck, and forced to speed to make unreasonable deadlines.
What happens when people get sick from contamination from the feces in the food truck or killed on the road because the driver is expected to speed?

Re: THE ERA OF TRUMP
So .... total official investigations supporting StA’s claims: 0
Bernie talking points, anonymous claims, and a reporter who made a buck writing a story to repeat the claims.
If the travesty is so widespread and so very, very true - why no official investigation or government action?
Truly puzzling.
But maybe if you repeat the unsupported, anonymous, accusations of disgruntled “workers” another hundred times it will magically produce evidence.
