Okay I’m gonna get absolutely blasted for this, but here it goes.

Water went out in the warehouse at 3:45am, the last workers on that shift went home at 5:00am it sounds like. And the next shift which was to start at 7am was called and told not to come in because there was a water issue.

They were called back into work when the issue was fixed.

I see absolutely nothing wrong with this at all according to the facts as stated in the article.

They were without water for about an hour before they were scheduled to go home. It would take about that long for management to even recognize the issue, contact the city and get a timeline for repair. In the meantime, just keep working until they figure out how long it’ll take to fix, and when it is clear that it’ll take awhile, call the next shift and tell them they will reopen when the water is fixed.

Sounds absolutely reasonable to me.

But I know everyone loves shitting on amazon, so this post is gonna get murdered

Yes but amazon has shown a history of not giving a shit about its workers
