One time at work we were having a BBQ and my boss beat me with jumper cables for performing better than yesterday, it was best day ever

because when I got home my dad saw thatbI had been beaten with jumper so he got to relax instead of beating me with jumper cables.

As long as you avoid working in the warehouses, you're fine. They know better than to treat techs like that. Good techs are harder to find.
That being said, if you work in the warehouse expect 10 hour shifts and 5 minute breaks with min wage. Worst year of my life.

About 7mos late replying, but should you have any questions, reach out. I used to work in their DC space for 5yrs.
Yes please! Got the job, and got flipped in all this time. But I always need assistance

I thought that too, but developments have me thinking that the only thing dumber than a biorobot on a production line, is an actual robot.

Unless they change how they deliver (vans and cars) then itll still be a lot of human work
TMP5
drones.
DukeDarkwood
Someone's going to bring up self-driving cars, I just know it. It won't be immediately viable; I figure they'll need to be supervised, plus
someone has to get the package from vehicle to door. But, given more time, they'll probably be able to address both those issues. Of course,
there's also the whole delivery-by-drone route, which cuts out vehicles AND delivery personnel.

Until they got proper robots to either package boxes into a van or straight up drone deliver them from the first warehouse there is still1/2
A lot of human work for getting those packages to you 2/2

Amazon literally lacks a soul but nobody cares! Cheap shit trumps human rights!
HenryLongfellowIII
They bought the company that designs those things to keep competitors from getting them.
macmaster2000
Yeah but AGV's aren't uncommon in the slightest, from several manufacturers, so there are tons of options
zimirken
...that's total bs. I've literally talked with people who work at one of the companies that does this that amazon contracted recently
Counterfit
So basically what Starbucks did with Clover (the coffee brewer machine, not the point of sale system)
ElbowDeepInAPoliceState
And yet their coffee still tastes like burnt shit
The Clover stuff is the most drinkable Starbucks has. Not all the stores have one. It's a good example.
Still tastes like burnt shit
Precisely.
OliverClothesoff70
Do you do that a lot? Just make shit up and state it like it's a fact? You're completely wrong on the "why" of this.
Kiva had promised to keep shipping its tech to other vendors. But it didn't work out that way:
In the spring of 2015, Amazon changed Kiva's name to Amazon Robotics.
It then suggested that other retailers keen to use its robotic army let Amazon Robotics
MightestGlowCloud
Isn't another company just going to design something very similar but legally different shortly?
EricFromAccounts
There are already dozens of very similar robots in development, with a fair few already in service in factories around the world.
Alibaba has a couple mega warehouses that use bots for sorting small packages
Trislar
Still delays the competition.
DropsWittyComments
Correct. Time is money. They can build a model to justify the acquisition cost and entry delay reward in yrs. standard in the big league
DerRattenfngerVonHameln
Yes. And the cost/time/quality of such unnecessary R&D will *forever* put them few tiny steps behind. Few, but forever.
By that logic Ford ought to be the best automakers in the world, which clearly isn't the case.
Because it is not a game you can win Х times out of Х plays. And with every new competitor a complication of a lag image is unceasing.
Kiva had better technology than the others.
If they're manufactured in china the clones will be the same down to the branding

I work for Amazon as well. If we get too exhausted, Mr. Bezos sends us to this beautiful lake for a paid vacation. Amazon is great.

I start my new job with amazon in a week. These posts scare me. But I've been assure the koolaid at the lake is fabulous

I work part time as an Amazon shopper. It's pretty lax on the clock, but they're very strict on attendance.
I have heard working conditions in some of the fulfillment centers are hell though.
attofreak
When we get tired, we are put in a special, empty room, where we think about how lucky we are to push boxes for Amazon.
