It came out that management filed a patent for a cage to protect workers from machines going haywire, pic related (minus wojak of course). Instead, I believe they ended up going with a design for a vest that shuts off machines if they get too close to the worker. Obviously most companies will overspend on things like patents to secure a broad range of options for technology, but you have to think twice about the humanity of someone who thought it was a passable idea to put workers in cages like this.

Other warehouses have productivity measures too but what makes amazon so bad is that they keep you doing the same thing.
other places realize this and shift you around different departments but amazon - you do the same repetitive thing for 8 to 12 hours a shift 4 to 5 days a week.
Most amazon pickers also walk everywhere. Other places, at least you get to operate machinery
There's also a work culture of managers being jerks at amazon (works it way down from Bezos) so that's why a lot can't handle it. Life is bearable as a warehouse wagie, but not as an amazon warehouse wagie.

I sell things on Amazon via FBA and not gonna lie, I feel a little guilt for sending in my crap and having the warehouse workers sift through it. Feels like I’m eating from their suffering. I try to at least not make the boxes too heavy and to pack the stuff well.

The entire point of that job is that they "rush you" to the absolute limit of what can be accomplished.

You are always timed, always expected to improve, which puts the workers in a state of constant psychological/physiological anxiety/stress.

Amazon literally HARVESTS the life from its workers.

The wagey cage is a fucking hilarious meme, this is coming from someone who sits in heavy Equipment as a longshoreman, surrounded by a safety cage. Honestly I feel uneasy when I dont have at least a little metal in between me and the 30 tons of shit Im moving around.
