I imagine it has a similar level of legality as setting up a robot to mass call a longer list of specific people, perhaps for business purposes, is I think the larger point being made. John's presumably using the exact same loopholes that actual scam companies use to get away with robocalling.

Is op cross posting posts in this thread to cspam too? That'd actually be kind of funny

You could do that, but you'd still have a highly variable and unpredictable workload that needs doing immediately meaning you'd still end up sending people home after only 2 hours or misguesstimate the other way and have days where only a few people need to bust rear end to get everything done. A lot of these jobs would still be nightshifts and involve people being on call all day not knowing if they'll be working that evening/night until the last moment or not.

Surely if every Amazon employee can be paid six figures a year and the company still turns a profit, they could pay people to come in and sit around on their phones when there isn't work to be done
