Amazon Bans Its Drivers From Moving Their Own Lips Too Much At Work [Update]

i wonder if amazon signals could be jammed

All of these delivery drivers work for third parties, not Amazon directly. You can start your own Amazon delivery business and contact to driver for Amazon. Amazon is saying they didn’t tell anybody not to move their lips. One of the third party companies or low level manager told people not to do it because it triggers the camera.

Apparently Amazon has refuted this. Much like they refuted the pissing in water bottles, I expect.

Amazon trying to cover their ass? Thank you. I’ll add the update to the post:

Updated Wednesday, September 4, 2024 5:10 p.m. EST - Amazon reached out to deny the reports of a crack down on singing along with the radio in trucks and provided this PR video clip as evidence. A PR spokesperson told Jalopnik: “This post is completely inaccurate. Amazon has never issued guidance or communications to Delivery Service Partners that prohibits singing in the vehicle.”

It’s still crazy to me the the richest man in the world has the worst working conditions. He has more money than he’ll ever need, than he can ever spend. Maybe taking a hit next quarter wouldn’t be the end of the world.

That’s how you get to be the richest person in the world

This. This is how you tell that letting the job market “self-regulate” does NOT work.

That’s terrible, no one deserves that type of work environment. Hope Bezos slips on a Banana peel…

Have we Tried giving Jeff Bezos more Taxpayer Money yet to solve this problem?

TommySoda , 5 hours ago

I honestly can’t even think of a reason to keep giving them money. Half the time you get sold things that are faulty or a scam. They put advertisements on their paid streaming service. They fake the majority of their reviews (have you noticed that nothing on Amazon is below 4 stars these days?). Oh, and I can’t forget the most important part. They aren’t even capable of treating their employees like fucking people. Who comes up with this shit? This is like, cartoon villain kinda shit.

Wow, this may be kinda pathetic, but this might be what gets me to avoid Amazon.

TommySoda , 5 hours ago

As long as you avoid them, it’s never too late. Fuck 'em.

Whats the alternative? (For real, i have a ec2 instance there, and I guess I could use azure or google cloud but they are shitty companies too)

If you’re a cheapskate like me, oracle cloud’s free vps tier is the most generous I’ve seen of any provider. I suspect it’s because their other services are subpar so they gotta raise market share somehow.

This should be addressed by fixing the software, but it seems to be easier or cheaper to instead further burden the workers.

MotoAsh , 6 hours ago

Nah, should be fixed by outlawing such invasive and seriously demented micromanagement.

memfree , 6 hours ago

Well, yeah, but that’d take a government not captured by Corporations.

Taylor Swift, and you better fucking keep it that way or else.
