The vending machines in the background mean it's close to the entrance. They put those vending machines full of PPE up front, along the main walkways. It's probably 50 feet from the shitters.

I still have the belt I got from a Fastenal vending machine while working at a fulfillment center 5 years ago. Those machines are free. Scan your badge, push a button. Box openers, gloves, safety glasses, belts, etc. End of the shift we'd throw reusables in a big box by the entrance/exit for the next shift to pick through and use, mostly the cutters and safety glasses. It was not the worst job I've had, there's at least been a few employers between Amazon and the absolute bottom rung for me, but that's just my experience. It was honestly better than cooking in most bars I've worked in over the years.

Yeah, they weren't bad to me for whatever reason (my pick rate was always 100+). Working in commercial kitchens has always been more stressful with few or no breaks compared to walking 10 miles around a warehouse all night. I didn't hate the job, but I wouldn't work in an amazon warehouse again unless they unionize. It's pretty mind-numbing, but at least it's not an endless stream of tickets in a kitchen.

Oh I saw Fastenal and thought it was a vending machine that vended like, different sizes of machine screws for some reason.

That box kinda perfectly shows the utter gulf between amazon corporate and the distribution centers though. "Hey we have to meet quotas that destroy our bodies and my kidneys exploded last week" "Hm, I think your main problem is this open-plan workspace you've got here isn't very conductive to mindfulness. How about we put in some orgone accumulators? People here at the office love using them for our hourly meditation breaks that we all get."

Rutibex isn't in the background humping the machine so that should be your first clue it isn't full of fasteners. E: there's a lot of problems with their system, but honestly, the walking isn't it. The amount, sure, but not everyone is capable of picking rate because the computer wants them to change floors and walk an eighth of a mile between picks. You can't maintain rate when the algorithms telling you where to pick is sending you from the third floor on one side of the warehouse to the far end of the second floor beyond the chasm of concrete in between. I was fine walking 10 miles a day, but the average middle Tennessean working with me there was definitely not capable of that kind of mileage. There are plenty of other jobs in the warehouses that don't require constant cardio, though, inconveniently far from bathrooms. CRUSTY MINGE has issued a correction as of 15:49 on May 28, 2021 |

jeebus bob posted:[image of a union rep softly crying] to be fair they probably just use vending machines so they can keep you to one set of PPE per week or something. that's how my job does it; the PPE is free but you gotta swipe your badge to get it.

if Amazon managers are anything like the small business owners I've worked for, they will at some point pull aside workers and tell them they're spending too long in the mindfulness cube

I don't know what to make of this article, like it's interesting and implies all sorts of things but it seems vague as gently caress in the specific implications/consequences for us proles. Is this capital worming its way further into the Chinese semi-state capitalism or is it china getting more investment into the country to build material stuff with? https://www.ft.com/content/d5e09db3-549e-4a0b-8dbf-e499d0606df4 quote:When the Biden administration announced a fresh investigation into the origins of the coronavirus outbreak in Wuhan on Tuesday, the Chinese reaction was swift and furious.

I never saw a ding in my paycheck, but I was pretty good about holding onto my PPE. I'm sure someone has scanned their badge at that machine too many times and gotten a talking-to about it, since there are bins of loose PPE by the entrance/exit for reuse.

That doesn't sound like there's much of an opportunity for middlemen to insert themselves and profit which smacks of communism.

Old school pipes were literally wood, and even they lasted a long time, although the lead joints were kinda super bad. When travel was a thing, foreign water distribution often made me realize how loving amazing it is here in Denmark to just turn on the water anywhere and drink that poo poo. They're even gonna begin cleaning the chalk out of the water soon, so my washer doesn't die as often from chalk poisoning. Gonna improve coffee taste too, but not plain water taste.

poo poo POST MALONE posted:the biggest mind gently caress I had (back before I had decent insurance from a union job) was when I went for a yearly physical and then when he asked me if I had anything I wanted to ask about I told him I had rolled my ankle a few months ago and needed a recommendation for physical therapy since it was still weak and sore. I had this happen to me in 2019. They said because I asked about a refill on a medication I was taking that it didn't count as my physical, and because it was in early December that meant that I didn't have a physical for 2019 which incurred a $600 penalty from my insurance. When they called me up in January 2020 to tell me this I thanked them for helping me understand how people become spree killers. I'm required to get a physical this year (wasn't in 2020 for Covid) and I think I'm just going to skip it since it's obvious that I can't use the physical to actually address anything since it won't count as my physical anymore and interacting in any way with the US healthcare system is infuriating and likely to cost me more than I can afford while likely not solving anything anyway.

My hr department sent out an email explaining that if your physical actually identities a problem like diabetes then it's no longer free because it's not preventative and is diagnostic They sent my site manager a nasty email when I asked if that logic applied to my covid test.
