The retail giant has reportedly started monitoring delivery drivers who sing along to the radio claiming it’s a cause of distracted driving
Amazon trying to cover their ass?
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.”
They probably monitor the drivers for lip movements to see if they're talking on the phone, but their monitoring can't differentiate between singing or talking to one's self and talking or singing to someone else, so everyone gets flagged. The drivers know the best way to avoid the ire of management is to simply not move their lips.
It may not be an outright prohibition, but it does have a chilling effect, which makes it as good as one.
It's not even employment, I mean buying from these companies. Why...it's not even convenient anymore having to return most of the crap or throw it out because of how utterly cheap it is.
Collectively, humans are fucking stupid and can't do the only thing to kill these companies. Stop giving them money. But everyone is great at going online and bitching about em.
I refuse to buy online. Unless I can see the thing BEFORE buying, I won't buy it. I've literally broken stuff in stores to test how I'm going to be fucked. Ripped soles off shoes, bent steel frying pans. I'm sick of everything that this world is turning into...the only thing that will have SOME form of quality is our jail cells for when we try to take everything back.
