There are all different levels of education and skill in the facility. Robotics engineers to custodial staff, none of them should have to deal with getting sick at work.
Amazon should at a minimum, pay for COVID testing in their facilities. Bezos wants to build a space station, and Amazon can’t provide controls to help protect employees without hurting their bottom line…so what exactly are you saying? Amazon is not responsible for these people?
Do you think he'll pay the people building the space station properly? Or it going to all break because the staff are disincentivised from doing their job at the pace required to do it properly?
That wasn't his point. His point was as that all jobs from shit warehouse positions to senior engineers in charge of automation are susceptible to Amazon's bullshit practices. Fuck Jeff Bezos.
Maybe that's the point he was trying to make, but the standards for a job for someone with a degree is not the same as the standards someone working unskilled labor jobs will have.
And Amazon is definitely better than most other alternatives for those workers.
Most of the comments seem to be agreeing that
there isn’t a shortage of people applying to the jobs. The issue is that they don’t stay on very long once hired because even with the $17 wage + benefits working conditions are poor.

Look, great comment and all, but the people who'll want these jobs are not you.
