    I don’t use Amazon for anything

    I have never bought a thing from them

    This shit only exists because of people being willing to pay extra, for other people to be exploited, so that they can enjoy some convenience

    There was life before all these delivery services. They’re not actually necessary

      I agree OP calls it a horror but the truth is most people will accept it as long as convenient parcels still arrive. They didn’t know the person and don’t care. I was an amazon user but cut it out. I was fallible but changed.

      Ask people if they would give up their parcels…most look at me like I am crazy.

      Cutting Amazon out of my life has improved my life a lot.
      I now buy books from a local shop lead by a huge sci-fi and manga nerd. She’s recommended so many great books I never would have found otherwise.
      I try to buy as many things as possible locally, but sadly that’s often impossible (or wildly worse) now.
      But when I do buy online, I buy from smaller independent shops specializing on the thing I’m buying.

    It is horrible, but the title is quite misleading.

    Person keeled over unlisted reason

    Someone started performing CPR

    Management refused to let another come over to sub in when person 1 got tired because it needed to be management or the safety team. Presumably, the safety team would be the relief. My guess is risk of letting an untrained employee help was risk. The first person started cpr before management got there or they would have stopped them too.

    Management told everyone to get back to work and not to gawk.

    Person died

    The news that it happened wasn’t released for a week.

    All brought to the surface by a Senate hearing on the lack of worker safety at Amazon.

    So a person died, maybe work-related. The company gives 0 fucks about other workers’ emotional state.

      Its not misleading, both claims are true. If people refuse to read articles and only read headlines thats not on the author.

        disagree on the last part.

        headlines cannot be outright false to their contents, it is acceptable to assume the headline is true to the article

        that doesn’t change that in this case the headline clearly has two separate claims
