Concerns about Amazon: Employees resign immediately after being hired

THE Amazon has hired hundreds of thousands of workers for various positions in its warehouses, which it calls “Order processing centers”, but lately those who are hired, immediately after resign.

As he states Business Insider post, citing a report published in the New York Times, more than 350,000 employees hired from July to October stayed at the company for a few days or a few weeks. In fact, in 2020 Amazon increased the number of employees it hired in an effort to maintain it high level of demand who was at her service during the coronavirus lockdown. However, as it seems, the working conditions are extremely poor.

A former executive overseeing the efforts of Amazon’s human resources department, which focused on the company’s warehouses, compared the situation with employees who left using fossil fuels. “We continue to use them even though we know we are slowly cooking for ourselves.” he told the New York Times.

And all this happens just a few days after that the company announced that it is easing controls on its employees, after the publication of a new report on accidents at work that occur in the company’s warehouses in the US, notorious for poor working conditions, reports APE.

The system with the name “Time off task”, which measures the productivity of each worker who has undertaken the sorting, packaging and handling of parcels “can be easily misinterpreted”, Dave Clark, an executive of the online sales giant in a letter to employees. Many employees and organizations complain that this method causes useless stress to employees, as for example it does not give them enough time to go to the toilet.
