Amazon trying to cover their ass?

Updated Wednesday, September 4, 2024 5:10 p.m. EST - Amazon reached out to deny the reports of a crack down on singing along with the radio in trucks and provided this PR video clip as evidence. A PR spokesperson told Jalopnik: “This post is completely inaccurate. Amazon has never issued guidance or communications to Delivery Service Partners that prohibits singing in the vehicle.”

The real question is... why the fuck should anyone be micromanaged to this fucking extent. It's probably hurting actual productivity... even if their broken ass metrics are showing an improvement.

It fucking sucks to be deprived of the joy in what you do - there isn't much joy in delivery to begin with but vibing to the music while driving down an empty stretch of road is one of the little ones... the more you suck the joy out of a job the less shits your employees will give.

maybe it's because the more time wage slaves are thinking about not being allowed to sing, the less time they're thinking about how shitty the pay is

I feel like the more workers are generally miserable, the more they’ll be disgruntled
