Great article descirbing the horrors of modern effiecent warehouses. Its crazy how technology has made these unplesant jobs just that much more dehumanzing. Who says you cant move foxcon tho the US.

Sure makes me glad I have a job that dosent treat me like that.

all those temp workers are going to be out on the street again, as amazon is replacing them with robotics.

It probably costs the same to the tax payer weather these people work or not when you factor in cost of infrastructure, and injuries.

We order a lot from Amazon,.. and recently they are*****ing us off.

We recently got a shipment from them that was a kids book we paid 9$ for. It came and looked like it had been drug behind a car for miles and then thrown in the ocean for a week and then maybe set on fire for a few seconds.

I couldn't believe someone would actually put it in a package for delivery. Worst most unprofessional thing i've ever seen.

That's happened several times too recently.. that was just the worst example, but items showing up looking very very used or already open or damaged.

Of course on the other end.. a couple times i've gotten double of an item that I only ordered one of them and only paid for one of them.

they used to be very good about shipping.. but lately.. it's really really gone downhill on the shipping quality control.

I just sent back 5 hard drives that were a different model number than what was ordered. Amazon took them back, and it was a "partner". It took a long time to rebuild that raid 6 NAS. The difference in price from what I did order was about $60 per drive. This seems to happen often with drives from Amazon, check the comments at Amazon.

Why would you even read an article like that let alone post it? What is the end game for that writer? Is the government going to start telling me I have to hire people who don't want to do the job? I can't fire them and hire someone who does? Why does offering a job that a lot of people want to do a bad thing?
