I think that Arista's point is though Tom, that Amazon have confidence in an economically successful post Brexit UK.

Point. :clap2:

1,000 0-hour jobs mind. They're low risk for corporations so it's not much of an investment on their part.

It is Good pay
Hard Work you must be Fit

In China they have Robots doing it
No Union , No trouble.
Faster Deliverys - Human drivers

Ref : BBC Click , China PT2


So Tom*
Get in there Now
become a Team Leader
but follow what Jeff informs you.
Keep Going Up the company
Respect everyone
Follow all rules.


Pop back online when yo are climbing that ladder
but no posting Anti Amazon UK stuff
as Jeff can stop that,.

I prefer Robots
as they do not want a Union
All logical.

Yeah I've known a couple of people who have worked there and have described it as a nightmare. Also very high staff turnover, they seem to hire / fire for no reason as standard. Someone working next to you one minute, hauled into the office, and shown the door five minutes later (having to do a "walk of shame" past everyone on the way out). Next day a fresh face in their spot.

Absolutely no job security and for anyone who has bills to pay, endless stress and worry. I can see how it's an OK job for teens still living at home or students looking for some extra cash - people whose world won't collapse when they get shown the door - but these are not the sorts of jobs that you can realistically run a home or support a family with.

I mean I complain plenty about me job, yes, but it's contracted hours and salaried, 6 weeks paid holiday, up to 6 months full sick pay, pension scheme, etc... The job itself can be hard but at least that side of things isn't an extra stress. I can't imagine working in that sort of zero-hour environment where you are literally a throw-away part.

Great summation there TS, as secure jobs in all sectors are replaced by these it begs the question what's to celebrate?
We are fast becoming the sweatshop nation as slowly workers rights and protections are stripped away.
