    11 days huh? She really gave it a chance lol. I am not a huge fan of Amazon. I came from the company they are modeling themselves after so I have a good idea of how things are done there I think but ####....11 days, she didn't even give it a chance. Just like anything in life it takes time to see what it's all about and find out if you can adapt to it but I don't think 11 days is enough. It's sad the news will pick up a story like this and act like it is credible.

    She is just a whiner!
    She should start her own business since she has all the answers.

    Welcome to the real world. Employers don't care about anything other than the bottom line, and they'd outlaw drinking water and taking a #### if the law didn't prevent them from doing so. It's up to the employee to know their rights and enforce them

    You can't pay me enough to hurry up when nature calls. I sit until business is done on my end before I tighten my belt on my wranglers.

    Yeah and everytime i take a #### its eating into my 14 hr clock , and i sure as heck aint getting paid for it either.this sounds like somebody who just started working their first job and with all the news surrounding bezos and amazon the media will do anything they can to throw the amazon name in the dirt and spit on it. I dont buy into the amazon lifestyle but atleast give them a fair chance.. Anybody who has been workinglonger than 11 days , knows thaf part od working for a living is being assigned tasks and when u complete that task another one is assigned to you. Thats is how working a job works. Take a #### on break time or schedule it so it doesnt affect ur "rate " or cause u to fall behind. It must be a sin nowadays to be able to think for urself, no wonder why were being replaced with robots, because robots dont complain , they just so there frickin job!!
