While discussing the issue Ball reveals on the JRE podcast that although the company advertised the issue of ‘Black Live Matter, and on the other hand they intentionally discriminate against their workers of colour. “First of all the way they treat their largely black and brown workers, I mean it’s despicable, they intentionally make sure they cannot move up the ladder.”
Ball further added that they promoted Black Lives Matter because it was good for their brand and their shareholder value and at the same time they’re discriminating against people of colour. She added that the delivery drivers and warehouse workers are so tight on a schedule that they have to pee in bottles and shit in bags to save time.
Enjeti adds to the point that Amazon employees’ every movement is tracked and they only get a 20min break. If you’re slow or your work gets delayed you might get fired for that which is very dehumanizing. He also added that The Company tries to squeeze every bit out of its workforce.
The UFC commentator who was shocked by this revelation stated, “Shit in bags? That’s where I draw the line! I don’t really care if a guy has to pee in a bottle but if a gal has pee in a dog bowl, it seems wrong.”
Ball responded by adding, “I would like to click the button that’s like I’ll pay a little bit more if you can promise me no driver has to shit in a bag in order to get this (delivery) tomorrow.” she also revealed that Bezos thinks that people are inherently lazy so he has designed the company in such a way to squeeze every bit of work from their employees.
