also to clarify the body wasn't lying there for a week but a few hours

I don't use Amazon for anything I have never bought a thing from them This shit only exists because of people being willing to pay extra, for other people to be exploited, so that they can enjoy some convenience There was life before all these delivery services. They're *not actually necessary*

I'm from Europe and Amazon is known to have very shitty working conditions here as well. And then I remember there's America where you're not guaranteed to have (paid) sick leave or even fucking PTO -.-

It is horrible, but the title is quite misleading. Person keeled over unlisted reason Someone started performing CPR Management refused to let another come over to sub in when person 1 got tired because it needed to be management or the safety team. Presumably, the safety team would be the relief. My guess is risk of letting an untrained employee help was risk. The first person started cpr before management got there or they would have stopped them too. Management told everyone to get back to work and not to gawk. Person died The news that it happened wasn't released for a week. All brought to the surface by a Senate hearing on the lack of worker safety at Amazon. So a person died, maybe work-related. The company gives 0 fucks about other workers' emotional state.

An older man I work with used to work at Kenworth back in the early 90’s. He told me a story about a guy working the assembly lines installing the truck frame's to the cab, he had a heart attack and died right on the spot. The floor shift manager instead of calling 911 ran over and grabbed his leg and dragged him away from the line and yelled at everyone to “Get back to fucking work!” He guys body laid there for 4hrs before medical staff arrived.

Maybe they were doing their family a favor by leaving them clocked in.

Sometimes when I buy things on ebay, they are shipped by Amazon anyway. I wonder if there's a way to avoid this?

What the actual fuck lol Everytime I think the country has finally sank to its absolute bottom, there's still something left to morally shock me. What the hell is wrong with that place? It's like something out of a poorly written scifi novel...

Nah. Apparently these places burn pretty well. Can still wish for fire.
