The big reason corporations are using robots instead of human labor is because people either don't want to work or can't hold a position.
The turnover rate is actually insane in these positions; enough so that they would rather spend more paying a technician to set up an automated cell with robots, PLC's, pneumatic slides, ect.
It's sad af but don't blame the robots or the technicians, this is not their fault.
The turnover rate at companies like Amazon is so high because the working conditions are so poor and demanding. People are just liabilities and expenses that should be burned through.
Amazon has burned through so many employees that they worry they will not have enough viable applicants to keep filling positions. That isn’t because of the workers, that is a calculated decision by management.

There is no need to a shill and push right wing talking points for corporations, they get plenty of help from the politicians and news networks they buy.

For some reason, people aren't big fans of timed bathroom breaks and monitored smalltalk.
This take is so horrible - you are the first person i ever blocked in my life
I have to admit I've never heard anyone read a high attrition rate and then put the blame on the workers. I really, really, hope this person isn't in any position to make decisions in an organization.
It's amazing how they disregard the absolute shit working conditions Amazon warehouse jobs have, that can't totally be why they have a high turnover rate right?
Nobody ever considers the feelings of the poor corporations! It's all the fault of those mealy-mouthed... sneers ... humans! With their "I'm tired" and "I need to eat food" and "I need to go to the bathroom." How is that productive or efficient? How does that contribute to shareholder value?

I work in this industry, and you couldn’t be more wrong. The turnover rate is so high because the job is incredibly demanding, working conditions are usually horrible, and the pay is absolute shit.
If you can't work, then no job for you.

What are your other hot takes? Trump won the election? The "lizard people" control the media? Slavery was beneficial to black people?
Ok, Boomer.
