Correct! We know how maximum exploitation works https://surprise.blackblogs.org/en/2020/07/09/5-correct-we-know-how-maximum-exploitation-works/ Thu, 09 Jul 2020 10:13:08 +0000 http://surprise.blackblogs.org/?p=166 We know how maximum exploitation works. In our Amazon warehouses, a system of surveillance, control and harassment ensures psychological and physical attacks and maximum efficiency, as well as competition between workers. A wristband that controls every movement, scoring points and a 2-minute toilet break per day are constant companions for the workers. In this way we guarantee motivated and conscientious working structures.
At “Amazon Mechanical Turk”, work contracts are globally advertised and assigned as precariously as possible. The workers are not permanently employed, without social security and in direct global competition for the lowest wages. This is just one of the ways we and other platforms are leveraging workers’ rights to provide you with the best service and us with the highest possible profit. Nevertheless, there are always annoying strikes and labor disputes, which we try to avert with all possible means. Unfortunately we are still dependent on erroneous and thinking people, but we are working on a constant automation to eliminate these errors as well.
