What Gene Rodenberry didn't tell us is that every time you order a cup of tea from a replicator, Amazon automatically charges your credit card for it. Luckily, the returns have been improved as well, so that when you put the empty cup back into the replicator to be disintegrated, you get your cup deposit back. The Enterprise cleaning crew probably makes a few extra cents a day picking up coffee cups that have been forgotten on tables and sticking them back into the replicator for the deposit.
Its so apparent that the senior vp has never worked in a warehouse. The way he dodged the question about work standards and productivity made me cringe.
Thats what a lot of these people and politicians don’t understand. Amazon invest alot in itself make the business bigger and better. Employing more people, better service, better pay etc. while paying nothing is absurd I dont believe in overtaxing

Antonio Mitchell OMG, you need to actually study history. Slavery was mandatory. Working at Amazon is not. That is just one difference. Figure out the rest for yourself. Good grief.
Same problem at USPS. I work there currently as a clerk. 1) Safety, Safety, Safety First! 2) When you follow their safety rules they bring you in the office to find out why you're so damn slow and can't behave like a robot. 1) "Take your breaks, you gotta take your breaks." 2) Back in the office, "Why aren't you making the numbers? You do know we can let you go!" 1) Watch these lengthy safety videos. Safety signs all over the building. Safety Proud!!! :) 2) Back in the office, why aren't you a damn machine?? So you ignore their safety rules just to make the magic numbers they pulled out of their ass, and now they are happy, "You're doing better now." :) You meet your 1,000,000 hours of safety training, designed the place to be safer, posted plenty of safety posters, and drilled it deep that you must be safe. But you want us to keep the pace of a machine. Take your proper breaks, go to the restroom when you need to. Slow down when you're out of breath, do exactly according to safety rules, and the result is "Why aren't you making numbers? If you don't meet the numbers, you will be fired." The result: Ignoring safety rules, running instead of walking, out of breath and still working, stressed the hell out, but I'm behind and need to meet the standards. Day after day you meet their numbers and the expectation stays because "See, it can be done."
Reason why I left USPS as a carrier. No regrets. And the supervisors were incredibly rude and disrespectful. Of course, this was just at the post office I worked at.

This is beyond fascinating. I'm guessing they were having you guys working between 9 and 11 hour shifts. And if that was the case I then ask, why not just hire more workers/staff so that they can work shorter hours(i.e. 3--5)? Or just hire more staff so that when you go on break there's someone there to fill the gap. I honestly hate when big companies view their workers like numbers....
I think they still will. Young people might get many things delivered (like my roommate gets most of her monthly groceries delivered from the local Save On Food grocery store) but most people won't buy everything from Amazon or thru delivery companies. I think even in the future most people will still mostly just walk/bike/drive to a store like normal people to save money buying groceries in bulk and/or to get some fresh air and hang out with friends and family. Like a Best Buy near the city I live in in Vancouver, Canada is now less than half the size of the old one. Its a nice place to window shop thru and to occasionally buy stuff while you hang out with friends. Or those young people won't shell out for Prime. I'm perfectly content to wait between 2 days to a week to get an item. I rarely buy things. Usually its just esoteric things like a cell phone power cord or an HDMI cable. Or expensive purchases like a new cellphone. In those cases if I want something delivered faster I'll just pay $5 more for faster delivery for that one item. I suspect many people are similar.
Not sure how much this helps the drivers, but not only do I always take those Mini-surveys and leave 10/10 positive reviews, but I also try my absolute best to bundle all of my orders together so that they all arrive on the same day/time. I have a lot of respect for the drivers, and after seeing how much stress they are under while on the job? I'll always try to return the love and so I hope these small gestures can go a long way! :)
@@loathespolitics6254 it’s psychology. Online shop is like being in a huge supermarket, you’ll buy things you don’t need. The one day shipping gives instant gratification, so it amplifies consumerism. It might not work on you, but it works on a lot of other people. It feeds on society’s over-consumerism.
U need to go a 3rd world country and see how working conditions are and see only few complains cuz theres bigger fears than that thats UNEMPLOYMENT in a poor country its x100 worse
Those 2 shipping companies are not allowed to merge since they make up most of the shipping done in the U.S. it would be a monopoly. You must be getting your information from an unreliable source.
dragonore2009 Go work at Amazon for one day and maybe your tune will change. Be thankful to the employees who fulfill your unsatisfied hunger for ordering goods.
@Winnie They don't offer any insurance, or benefits however working as a contractor you can still have medical insurance, retirement, etc. The only thing people need to keep in mind is it cost a lot more as you are paying 100% of the cost. Source: Worked as contactor for many years.
Pixel Count Maybe. Could just break down the items into atoms. Send them over and then rematerialize the atoms. Thats the only way that i can see teleportation of nonliving things working.
Absolutely true. It all seems like it's making life easier until it takes over life all together. People just don't appreciate hard work anymore or can handle doing it.
What are you an American? They just told you. The Flex drivers make it possible..They can be at the hub 24/7... The Uber driver for Amazon... And that is smart...As you have an unlimted supply of people wanting to earn extra income... I know people that do it. As they get off work and there headed that ways to start with. So why not get paid to drive home...
I bought prime for their streaming service, it is the same price as Netflix but with the bonus of free postage. As long as they don't increase their price it is a good deal.
It is about efficiency. Aircraft crash is not good under any circumstances. You can bet Amazon is working on automating those jobs to have autonomous aircrafts fly themselves from hub to hub without human intervention!!!

@@aac_tda when you make more than minimum wage you better keep performance unlike walmart you get 2, 15 minute breaks 1 hour lunches and you can be late without repercussions id say amazon has a better business standard than walmart which leads to lazy workers all over the store
The single problem with all this stuff, is that its all based on consumer sales. America is no longer a manufacturing hub, its a consumer hub, but how long can people buy without good paying jobs? Eventually the fun will come to an end. Credit is great, but its also not real money. If people dont have jobs, and or jobs with good or better pay, then it wont be a soft landing, it will be a crash landing when the fuel runs out.
It's not the fact that you don't have bathrooms Amazon.....what the man said was that you instituted policies that press people to not take bathroom breaks at all because of how far they are away from the bathroom in a building and how that affects their scan quota. .....any Amazon employee knows that this is what Amazon does without question.
Thank you for getting what I said! I print off OSHA regulations and labor laws and hand them to management just to remind them of their obligations to employees, but most don't know these things and are abused nonstop!
And for the drivers, the dispatchers urge you to take your lunch but later complain that you're behind on your route. Also, good luck finding a restroom while on route so go ahead and pee in a bottle.
@@Ammar88ist As a fellow worker it's also within my own interest for labour to be treated well. Dont know why I'd want to flex my "virtue" on this YT comment section but whatever
Pay starts out at $15/hr for L1 positions. I'm in an L3 position getting $17/hr. If you look at the cost of living for single renting, single workers nationwide regardless of company would have to be making at least $22.50/hr. Benefits are crazy good and cheap. You have the option to purchase Amazon stock from your paycheck. Amazon matches up to 4% for your 401(k).

I was surprised they are talking about Flex too because this program is no longer available in many areas, and got replaced with their new delivery vans.

I just recently placed a order from Amazon at 10:00 am on a Thursday and received a photo text showing that the package was delivered 3-hours later at 1:00 pm . Amazing speed !
Nah, Amazon went on an acquisition spree to support the online shopping genre it made mainstream. Walmart are bricks and mortar, they probably thought going online in a big way would hurt their business.
It's good to support local businesses, or even other non local businesses directly without going through Amazon. Otherwise Amazon will end up controlling everything. And they aren't ethical.
@@akshatghoshal6098 Only because Bernie Sanders and Ro Khanna pressured Disney and Amazon into raising the min wage to $15 an hr. It was not because they thought their workers deserved it for their productivity or because it was the necessary wage to survive. They did it because they didn't want stronger calls for unions/PR nightmare. I don't like small businesses that can't pay their employees a good wage with benefits but I sure as hell like them a lot more than the mega billionaire who is eating everything in sight.
@@Alan-wj5zc My point still stands I would much rather work in a company that pays right. In fact, I have worked in amazon for 16.75 dollars an hour way better wage than other jobs.
Platypus Maximus It most depends on the item and somethings can wait but some can’t, like if tomorrow is someone’s birthday and you can’t go out but amazon has fast 1 day shipping, that would be a really good option but people choose to use it on things that aren’t even urgent!
I love how when I order something it says "One Day Delivery" and then that one day passes and I check delivery status "There has been an unexpected delay. We will get your package to you as soon as possible" message shows up and it arrives two or three days later. Yeah great one day delivery. I can't remember the last time I actually got something in one day as promised on the site. I don't mind waiting at all, two day delivery was more than fine really. But they are advertising something that they don't really meet most of the time. Seems like false advertising is all.Ever since they have been cutting out UPS and the Post Office their delivery has gotten worse, not better.
walmart has free one day delivery on orders over $35 which is low. and they hire people who go through interviews unlike amazon where literally a felon could get a job delivering your package.
Wow, we are really spoiled. I ordered on line and they apologized for delivery running a few hours late. I didn't care. People pay a fortune, at times, for fast delivery, though the need is not there. I ordered from Wal-Mart once, and part of the order was hand delivered to my door 90 minutes later. That was freaky. Speed costs money, generally, and we waste a lot on air travel for things that aren't perishable or that urgent...

Just last week, I was delivering cat litter to a house in Carson CA (not a nice area) and the sun had just gone down. Some dude came out of his house yelling at me asking me what I was doing. I thought to myself this would never happen to me..guess again. Weird thing, he had his hand in his sweater so I immediately thought he could have a gun. Obviously he couldn’t use it since I was parked on the sidewalk. I just replied “I have a delivery for jasmine. It’s cat litter.” His mood and expression changed quick and apologized and said “he forgot.” It’s important to stay calm and explain yourself clearly and loudly. I haven’t started wearing a vest yet, but I’m really thinking about it because Amazon flex sends me to places like South LA, Watts Compton, Carson, Inglewood etc. The not so nice parts of LA.
Buy magnetic signs (BIG ONES) to put on the side of your vehicle. They're cheap. Amazon probably carries them (heh). They come off easy when you're not working. Amazon should PROVIDE them, but since they don't even pay taxes...
Bathroom issues? Mount a port-o-potty to a robotic mover and have it run around accepting "packages" from employees. [Please send notifications about my Amazon Innovation Award or my Nobel Peace Prize to my youtube account.]
yeah.. because that is the way to go.. instead of giving these companies a piece of mind, lets keep the workers down and embarrass them even more.. f hell, lets cut their human right of going to the toilet in the first place. disgusting even for a joke.
Shipping times may have shortened but for me at least, my merchandise options are being SEVERELY limited. Amazon is obviously limiting my options so they can achieve one-day delivery but I'd rather have more product choices.
So if an individual has a medical condition, that going to the bathroom they'll get fired for affecting rates? Perhaps why there are more younger workers?
As a driver, the only couriers who survive for more than 6 months are all under 35 males with a few exceptions. In our whole 60 man crew we have 2 late 50's men, who of which are insanely hard workers, we had a 50 year old woman who had to quit due to the strenuous working conditions, i've never seen another female last more than 3 months. The bulk of our crew is 21 - 30. This isnt a job for broken, weak bodies unfortunately.
Last year when I applied to Amazon warehouse for a job, we were given a tour of how things are done, as we were leaving the conveyor line we heard alarms go off and someone shouted 'Someone call an ambulance!' The manager left us to wait at the break room, from where we stood we all watched as the man was being carried to the back of the facility bleeding out, unconscious, why couldn't they just press on with a cloth to stop the bleeding and wait for the paramedics to do their jobs? Why was there more trash outside than inside, don't they ever recycle the cardboards, plastics, or other materials? Really we have so much trash around the world and Amazon Co. is fueling it? Back to our guy -- what ever happened to the employee after he left on the ambulance? Who covers his injuries the company insurance or his personal health insurance? All-in-all I ended up not working there... found another job as a Computer IT.
As a Prime member, I would rather have 2 day service rather than one day service. When you buy a food item..2 day service allows the product to arrive in better condition. With one day service, my food items can arrive as late as 11pm, and my item is usually damaged or melted.
@@LastbutNotFirst yeah, won't be the FIRST to be doing that BUT certainly NOT the LAST one... its important to stay relevant today in this day and age.
Only 8% of jobs in the US are actually in the field of STEM as a whole (so includes jobs like medical) and AI will eventually be able to program themselves (some are already capable of entry-level programming). It's actually best to go into trade school for detailed and meticulous work like being an electrician, HVAC technician, plumber, or general contractor. Repair work requires detailed case-by-case inspection and precise hands-on work at specific locations, so it's not likely these jobs would be replaced by robots anytime soon. Way cheaper than getting a degree in college too.

FedEx has a partnership with all Office Max and Depot locations, as well as all Walgreens and smaller supermarkets; where packages can be dropped off for shipping or have people's deliveries held for pick up.
i get extra enjoyment ordering the simplest things knowing what goes into getting it delivered to my house by the next day. last week i ordered a nail clipper, a pack of rubber bands, and paper clips on separate days.
While I sympathize for the workers, they did sign up for the job. If you can't handle it don't work there. You knew what you were signing up for. If not then you shouldve done your research.
FedEx honestly is a very safe work environment, we hound people on safety, it's to expensive for people to get hurt and we actually care about our employees safety unlike amazon
Working in an Amazon warehouse can be tough. The job often involves picking heavy items for 12 hours a day, with a target of at least 300 items per hour. If you don't meet this target, you'll be asked to work even harder. You don't even have the luxury of taking a bathroom break, as you'll be closely monitored and risk losing your job if you take too long. However, once you start working there and get used to the routine, it's hard to quit. Many of the workers are between 17-25 years old OR 39 and above .that they have responsibilities like paying for their house, car, and other bills. So, it's important to have a plan and not waste your time if you're thinking about working there. I started working there when I was 20 years old, and now I'm 23, and still working there.

You will if you order something from Wish 😂trust me, I've waited over a month before
What is that?
I think they still will.
Young people might get many things delivered (like my roommate gets most of her monthly groceries delivered from the local Save On Food grocery store) but most people won't buy everything from Amazon or thru delivery companies. I think even in the future most people will still mostly just walk/bike/drive to a store like normal people to save money buying groceries in bulk and/or to get some fresh air and hang out with friends and family.
Like a Best Buy near the city I live in in Vancouver, Canada is now less than half the size of the old one. Its a nice place to window shop thru and to occasionally buy stuff while you hang out with friends.
Or those young people won't shell out for Prime. I'm perfectly content to wait between 2 days to a week to get an item. I rarely buy things. Usually its just esoteric things like a cell phone power cord or an HDMI cable. Or expensive purchases like a new cellphone. In those cases if I want something delivered faster I'll just pay $5 more for faster delivery for that one item. I suspect many people are similar.

Not sure how much this helps the drivers, but not only do I always take those Mini-surveys and leave 10/10 positive reviews, but I also try my absolute best to bundle all of my orders together so that they all arrive on the same day/time. I have a lot of respect for the drivers, and after seeing how much stress they are under while on the job? I'll always try to return the love and so I hope these small gestures can go a long way! :)

In our whole 60 man crew we have 2 late 50's men, who of which are insanely hard workers, we had a 50 year old woman who had to quit due to the strenuous working conditions, i've never seen another female last more than 3 months. The bulk of our crew is 21 - 30. This isnt a job for broken, weak bodies unfortunately.
Last year when I applied to Amazon warehouse for a job, we were given a tour of how things are done, as we were leaving the conveyor line we heard alarms go off and someone shouted 'Someone call an ambulance!' The manager left us to wait at the break room, from where we stood we all watched as the man was being carried to the back of the facility bleeding out, unconscious, why couldn't they just press on with a cloth to stop the bleeding and wait for the paramedics to do their jobs? Why was there more trash outside than inside, don't they ever recycle the cardboards, plastics, or other materials? Really we have so much trash around the world and Amazon Co. is fueling it? Back to our guy -- what ever happened to the employee after he left on the ambulance? Who covers his injuries the company insurance or his personal health insurance? All-in-all I ended up not working there... found another job as a Computer IT.
Every company has to have workers comp insurance for their employees
As a Prime member, I would rather have 2 day service rather than one day service.
When you buy a food item..2 day service allows the product to arrive in better condition.
With one day service, my food items can arrive as late as 11pm, and my item is usually damaged or melted.
lol who the hell orders icecream from amazon

Makes me feel I should be studying robotics and automation!
you should. the fulfillment center just down the road from me has a ton of drones and robots.
@@LastbutNotFirst yeah, won't be the FIRST to be doing that BUT certainly NOT the LAST one... its important to stay relevant today in this day and age.
Only 8% of jobs in the US are actually in the field of STEM as a whole (so includes jobs like medical) and AI will eventually be able to program themselves (some are already capable of entry-level programming).
It's actually best to go into trade school for detailed and meticulous work like being an electrician, HVAC technician, plumber, or general contractor. Repair work requires detailed case-by-case inspection and precise hands-on work at specific locations, so it's not likely these jobs would be replaced by robots anytime soon. Way cheaper than getting a degree in college too.

Thats because you should lol
Haven't got one-day or same-day or anything on time since the beginning of the pandemic and I stay down the street from a warehouse where most of my orders ship from
i just cant imagine drones being practical in cities
how wouldn't they be lol that'd be the best place for them
Gravity and population concentration.
@@itswilbur52 Clueless much? The more variables there are, the more errors happen. Cities introduce an order of magnitude more chances for something to go wrong because of humans and unique terrain, experimental and frequent modifications to the environment.
I remember Office Depot and Office Max merged just to stay alive. Eventually all retailers will conglomerate together to battle Amazon to the death.
WAR!!!!
Amazon will prob rule over everyone if someone doesnt do something
FedEx has a partnership with all Office Max and Depot locations, as well as all Walgreens and smaller supermarkets; where packages can be dropped off for shipping or have people's deliveries held for pick up.
EPIC!
To the death!
It’s simple, they have HUGE warehouses with A LOT of almost minimum wage workers working like slaves overnight shifts too, to get those packages out.
Yea it sucks. But they can quit and find a better job.
i get extra enjoyment ordering the simplest things knowing what goes into getting it delivered to my house by the next day.
last week i ordered a nail clipper, a pack of rubber bands, and paper clips on separate days.
Too bad they getting paid to I need my package 😁
@@deceptichris They often take these jobs because there are no other options in the area in which they live.
@@deceptichris noh they can't, for better job, you need higher iq, which they don't have and thats the reason they are being exploited.
While I sympathize for the workers, they did sign up for the job. If you can't handle it don't work there. You knew what you were signing up for. If not then you shouldve done your research.
Every company says they care about their employees but very few, if any, do. It’s always about the numbers, always.
True
People I know working at Amazon always complain of body pains.
Yeah its painful. I work 12 hour days and the second day when i got home i was crying in the shower. But the pay really helps and makes it worth it.
@@addiemaefaustus5156
Be strong girl.
There is worse jobs out there.
@@addiemaefaustus5156 no pain no gain
@Katarina G insert angry boomer talking about equal rights
Addiemae Faustus sane be smart save and look into a trade or a real career.. can’t expect to be rich delivering boxes
FedEx honestly is a very safe work environment, we hound people on safety, it's to expensive for people to get hurt and we actually care about our employees safety unlike amazon
Ups should take notes from FedEx😭😪
Working in an Amazon warehouse can be tough. The job often involves picking heavy items for 12 hours a day, with a target of at least 300 items per hour. If you don't meet this target, you'll be asked to work even harder. You don't even have the luxury of taking a bathroom break, as you'll be closely monitored and risk losing your job if you take too long.
However, once you start working there and get used to the routine, it's hard to quit. Many of the workers are between 17-25 years old OR 39 and above .that they have responsibilities like paying for their house, car, and other bills. So, it's important to have a plan and not waste your time if you're thinking about working there.
I started working there when I was 20 years old, and now I'm 23, and still working there.
Stop complaining. Go find a different job if you hate it so much
