Oh great, Jeff
Bezos wrote a book. In it, he regails us with his immense
wisdom as the CEO of Amazon.com — including how he's achieved
his great success by following simple daily practices, such as
sleeping at least 8 hours a night, keeping most of his work
confined to morning hours, and clocking out religiously at 5pm
every day. This advice about work-life balance might be
beautiful if it weren't for the fact that Bezos makes it
impossible for his Amazon employees to follow
it. This discrepancy makes his
"secret tips" even more infuriating.
Before the pandemic hit, Jeff
Bezos was already worth an astounding $73 billion. During the
crisis, his worth has more than doubled to upwards of
$200 billion. No wonder he sleeps so well at night! But his
warehouse employees have seen their fortunes go in the
opposite direction. Before the pandemic, they were already
struggling so badly under producitvity demands, they had to
wear adult diapers and urinate in bottles at their
workstations. Since then, the conditions have only gotten
worse as Amazon sales have skyrocketed — all on the backs of
abused, exploited staff. Yet Jeff Bezos expects us to all
swoon over his cozy, privileged best practices? Save
the self-aggrandizing "wisdom," Jeff. Pay your workers! Sign the petition to demand justice for Amazon's
beleagurered employees.
Thank you for all that you do,

P.S. Bezos gets
to have breakfast every morning with his kids. His employees
are forced to put in constant overtime in warehouses that have
suffered from COVID outbreaks. Tell Jeff Bezos to provide his employees with
the work-life balance he boasts about and treat them like the
real human beings they are. |
