Our ability to mourn our dead is what separates us from the animals.

It takes … someone truly, truly evil to respond with “Don’t look, just get back to work.”
You have to be on another level of soulless.

Insanity. Absolute insanity. When we have a near miss I usually stop productions briefly to talk through it as a group. These guys are like just look over there and keep working!

Bezos letter to the family:
Enclosed please find Carl’s final paycheck. April 6 is only for 3 1/2 hours because he was caught napping on the job. Now I have to find a replacement slave, so I feel your pain.

I’d be surprised if this supervisor isn’t fired or reprimanded. That’s a horrible take.
Not to mention could open the door to a lot of issues. Why not give everyone a break in that section and shut down that portion of the shop.

So this is a bad time to disclose that I’m the manager?

This reminds me of that riddle:
If a man falls dead at an Amazon warehouse but nobody sees it bc the entire staff was told by their boss to turn and look away from the deceased, did he really die?

I docked his pay bc he didn’t laugh at my dad jokes.
Here’s more on the story.
So it is not as completely callous as the X post but it’s pretty bad.
Apparently one employee was offering CPR and another wanted to help and was told no to get back to work. That’s a lawsuit for sure.
Also they did send employees home after a break but without pay. While some were forced to stay and work.

In that case I changed my mind. Sounds like a great place to work.
To be fair to Bezos he does build his rockets into penis shapes so it’s not like he’s trying to hide his prickish proclivities.

This is sad. Seriously but at the same time
For some reason …
I simply think the manager ran out of their mourning coffee for the week
I am surprised the robots didnt just tidy it up and move along like they do on the Death Star.
