  1. Amazon has turned into Walmart years ago. Walmart was the cheapest and the best place to buy from and they made billions of dollars yet they also discouraged union work and they were exposed for conditions and forcing low paid employees to apply for medicaid and food stamps while the CEO and upper management made millions of dollars in salary along with shareholders. Katie Porter needs to address Amazon officials and bring her whiteboard, because once she pulls that out, all upper management is fucked! If you don't know who Katie orter is, look her up. She is the one woman that has never been brought down and actually got the CDC chief to commit on national television to free corona virus testing. Here it is..https://youtu.be/qHEH3TnRmrQ

  2. This why my package bought from Amazon US hasn't been processed yet? Or they just short on stock for that item, still havnt been charged for it and its been a week so safe to say hasn't been processed. Little worried they might try cancel it to get out of selling at the black friday rate, though if they do that I won't be ordering from them again since I don't normally use them anyways. The other items from my local country worked out well though, I did end up cancelling one of my orders because they where taking to long to process and I had time to change my mind. Guess I see how it all goes, do need the item though cant say I have much faith in the order ever getting processed. Issue is, amazon US the only place that have two of the items I need in stock that I can find anywhere so is little annoying. I'll have to find alternative if they don't come through.

  3. Jodeos, haber estudiado..
    Y si no os largais del trabajo, que ya llegarΓ‘n chinos ansiosos de trabajar en esta mierda.

  4. Ya like their going to work on those workers issues right away 🀣 If your allowed to be greedy without consequences why not. Welcome to capitalism

  5. Amazon treats workers like slaves and L&I is worse

  6. It is not just because of Amazon, but this world is losing it's moral compass and that only happens when corruption abounds in leadership.

  7. yeah amazon needs way better working positions you get fired if you have your phone out and they don't play music on the speakers it's just white noise the whole time doing the same thing over and over a 1000 times a day

  8. Mabey they should stop voting down Unions?

  9. I know 2 people who work for Amazon and they told me some of the brutal workload they deal with.
    That being said Amazon will also help pay your college tuition. The offer coverage if you go to Southern New Hampshire University.

  10. I work at Ontario, California U.P.S.
    1. $15.00 an hr starting pay
    2. Only guaranteed 3 1/2 hrs of work per day
    3. 12 months before you qualify for health insurance
    4. No climate control here! Warehouse is in excess of 100 degrees in summer, the trailers for loading/unloading are substantially hotter.
    5. The building/hub is filthy. Not cleaned by professionals but by hourly employees, who may or may not do their job. The ONLY time the building is clean is when there's an audit or upper management comes to visit
    6. Scanning equipment, tools needed to work safely and management that actually cares for your safety are scarce to non existent in some departments.
    7. Environment is a breeding ground for sexual harassment and bullying, Human Reource is not on site, so literally there is Zero protection. When Human Resource was available in years past, no issues were ever addressed appropriately, treated with complete disregard.

    I've noticed Amazon employees get alot of attention for what they perceive as an awful company to work for, that is their right. However, it would be a rude awakening for them to come work for UPS Ontario, California hub. They'd be begging for their Amazon wage and environment back….

  11. This is a perfect time for Amazon to close their doors economy's bad unskilled labor wants more money so I guess it's time to show the labor unions and unskilled labor that time to close

  12. Because every "BLACK FRIDAY", CHRISTMAS SHOPPING & BOXING DAY is very important! Amazon deserved there paycheck, it's important for customers not layoffs!

  13. dont blame em, working at Amazon fuckin sucks.

  17. Don't blame the warehouse workers one bit. 12 hour shift days nights weekends and then they pay them 50 cents more to work in a shift work environment. Only a shift worker he knows what that does to your body

  21. This is what happens you over feed a baby it starts crying for more and more stfu and work or go home and sleep

  22. Union are only good for keeping the lazy people working and increasing the cost of goods

  23. I'm sick of hearing about Amazon workers πŸ€” so many complaining about some thing but they sign up for the money if this a seasonal job for you u should not be mad about nothing case close

  24. As a farmer you all shame America

  29. BOYCOTT TARGET WALMART AMAZON THE NFL AND THE NBA!!!! BOYCOTT ESPN. BOYCOTT EVERYBODIES BUSINESSES

  30. Yay! I guess I need to boycott Amazon until they straighten up and fly right. I don’t shop at Walmart. At least, I stopped making it a habit. It won’t be hard to boycott Amazon. It’s just a choice to not be so reactive and impulsive toward the ads and my β€œwants.” It actually saves me money.

  31. Where is all that BIG inflation money going? Not to employees that's for sure

  32. Amazon river 786nazi Isis bug crap

  34. The layoff are a way to put hit orders or warning maybe lol

  35. Amazon is a terrorist organisation who hyontises people to see to get more bandwith with ams for global spatial energy mind control

  36. I work at Amazon. Let me tell you it is NON STOP during peak. We get 2 30 min breaks and during peaks 11 1/2 hour days during peak our workload is insane! If you can't keep up they will fire you without batting an eyelash. At Amazon, you are a number and that is all.

  37. She took the money from her sister and mom

  38. Amazon should shut down, inhumane work conditions.
