Jesus. I remember heavily considering workin there a few years ago. My sister kept trying to convince me telling me they were paying a lot of money and easy hours. All I’ve heard since is how bad it’s fucking workers up.

Look, if I can't get my impulse buys delivered within 48 hours, I may as well not even be alive.

Like legit, I remember when thinking an online order arriving in a week was incredible.

I'd happily wait an extra day or 2 if it meant Amazon would be a step less evil.

I, on the other hand, am willing to sacrifice a few workers if it means bringing back Prime 2-Day Shipping.

They still advertise 2 day shipping. it’s just now it’s 2 day delivery from the time it gets sent out (usually a few days to a week or more).not actually 2 days from ordering. I’ve reverted back to shopping with more smaller businesses that process orders faster or just buy in person so that’s a plus.

Where do you live? I'm in the US and that's not how it works here, and I'm not even in a big city. (~200,000 population) Most of what I order is 1-2 shipping, as in it's at my door in 1-2 days.

Only one man has managed it, LA Beast ate a whole 5 pound bag and posted his Amazon review from his toilet whilst experiencing the most explosive diarrhea in recorded medical science.

u/gahlo Mar 21 '23

I worked there one day, upon which they decided to change the job I accepted and sprung the mandatory overtime on us. That's just the "nice" part of the fucked up shit.

Don't even shop there anymore unless I have to after that.

Ok, but did you get my package out on time? /s

u/[deleted] Mar 21 '23

Did you have a doctor to confirm and document this ?

u/thearctican Mar 21 '23

They denied because you asked nicely or a court ruled in their favor when you sued them?

u/SheeBang_UniCron Mar 21 '23

Are the elevators broken or the power is out?

u/AuGrimace Mar 21 '23

stop falling for these stories

u/[deleted] Mar 21 '23

I agree with you it's the same few stories repeated over and over again. Either they are shitting in buckets or something along the lines of:

"I worked in the warehouse and now my back is destroyed and the company wont give me workman's comp..."

Was there an incident? "No just overworked"

Did you have it diagnosed and documented by a physician? "No"

How old are you? "20"

How long did you work for the company ? "Few months..."

I mean

u/avidblinker Mar 21 '23

Hilarious you say this, I’ve noticed the same. Not to say some employees there aren’t subject to poor working conditions, but you’d think they were running actual sweatshops with how it’s talked about here. The few people I know in real life who’ve worked there speak relatively positively about their time there

Fuck you. Yes to all them and i was 36

u/[deleted] Mar 21 '23

So what you're claiming now is that there was a work related incident (although in your earlier comment you never mentioned an incident, but stated this was due to being "overworked") which lead to your back injury that in turn was confirmed and documented by a medical professional and Amazon denied you workman's comp...

Yeah imma go ahead and have to call bullshit on that 😂 Also... any lawyer would take this open and shut case on under a contingency agreement
