Do it!

Anyone involved in getting packages to my door in an unbelievably short time deserves to get paid a living wage without relying on overtime. And they should have enough breaks to catch their breath and use and actual restroom instead of using bottles.

Tell that to every other company while you’re at it.

Not every company is as bad as Amazon. I don't think I've ever worked at a company that is actually run in a completely ethical manner, capitalism being what it is, but I've also never worked at a company as bad as Amazon or anywhere close to what Amazon do.

That makes one of us. I feel like every single company I’ve ever worked for only ever treats people like machines and they’ve all become exceedingly efficient at replacing them when they’ve broken down.

Maybe Amazon will develop a system where Ring/Alexa will let the drivers into your house to use your bathroom, in exchange for showing fewer ads on Prime Video.

If they let the driver into your place, they'll expect the driver to take a video recording of what's in there so that their algorithm can serve you better ads, and to avoid serving ads for things you already have.

Fewer ads? Amazon has never heard of her
