Dear MEL Topic Readers,
What it’s really like to be an Amazon warehouse worker during Prime Day
Did you take advantage of Amazon’s Prime Day sales last week? The event is characterized by a number of sales and promotions exclusive to Amazon Prime subscribers, who have paid annual subscription fees to get free deliveries, prime videos, games, and music. Members may find heavy discounts and good prices on items they are interested in and take advantage of this annual sales opportunity. Amazon is happy to take as many orders as they could get to increase revenues. But this sales event doesn’t seem to be enjoyed by many of Amazon’s warehouse workers. They are tasked to work overtime, like 11 hours instead of ten. You may not think it’s too much to add but those warehouse workers are working under extreme pressure to keep up with Amazon’s strict work requirements. Though they are mostly fairly compensated, mandatory overtime poses both physical and mental pressures to the workers. And there are other sales events, such as Black Friday and Cyber Monday, that keep them extra-busy.
Enjoy reading the article and learn about the behind-the-scenes of Amazon’s Prime Day sales.
