No toilet breaks, brutal targets, poor wages: The life of an Amazon warehouse worker in India

The tolerance threshold for “time-wasting”, according to workers, is even lower in the customer promise department that caters to Amazon Prime.

The cart of a Prime customer must be filled within the stipulated time. “In case we get injured or feel unwell, we’re simply told to continue. If we can’t, we must face consequences. I had to rush to the washroom once, but when I returned after five minutes, the work had been given to someone else and I was threatened with blacklisting,” says Gita, who works in Del-4.

Most likely, the workers are SBI employees' relatives. #CancelPrimeMembership #BoycottAmazon and let's not whine or complain when we receive a brick rather than an iPhone or when our Prime shipment arrives later than expected (e.g a birthday gift arriving after birthday party). 

I am surprised that Amazon is getting such high orders. 

Low level employees scene is everywhere same. If they don't want someone else will easily take their place. They don't have much options or choice.

Replacement and bench strength well planned by amazon.

But for customer products no Replacement 😞

It could have been the supervisor's fault for babbling these nonsensical morale boosting slogans and not the Amazon's management policies. 

As I've been told by friends who worked part-time at an Amazon warehouse abroad, there is no time wasted inside the Amazon warehouse. They praise how well-organized everything is.

If I recall correctly, I still remember one of my friends saying that he had to move around on roller skates or something similar for picking orders, to ensure no time was wasted walking in the large warehouse space.

This holds true for all Amazon warehouses globally; everything operates on a tight schedule. You need to be physically fit and with a right mindset to work in there. 

Labour Law is a joke in India.
