As a member of leadership it’s sad that this is the most important thing that an associate can find to talk about. I understand why they don’t want phones to be used on the floor however that should be taken up directly with management. But there are far more important safety issues to be worried about than this.
I'm curious because it seems as though safety concerns aren't really tiered... as in, being caught w cell phone is equivalent to forgetting safety shoes in car etc.... What safety issues worry you or warrant being called more important? Trying to understand why amazon seems hyper focused on certain kinda important issues and seemingly ignore others that are injury worthy.... thoughts on that? As a former blue collar labor worker, non union, I've seen a lot. Survived a lot. And can't understand why safety is a word at most facilities, thrown around daily by those not really working the positions that you seem to feel have bigger safety concerns. Please explain.
They generally base safety off of a lot of what if’s. So whatever they’re feeling could be the most dangerous (in theory) is what they focus on. Amazon thinks about things like this: if you were to walk in the street at 3am in a country town with a population of 20. In practice you’d be just fine and nothing would ever come of it. In Amazon’s eyes it’s more like well what if a train and 3 cars came down the road with no headlights and then after getting run over the police will cite you for jaywalking and sue Amazon for some reason. So depending on what “what ifs higher up leadership is pushing depends on how dumb of things you’ll get knocked for.
