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.”

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

Even slaves were allowed to sing.

I had a job where my boss got angry at me for playing music in my office with the door closed, because I was wasting bandwidth. On my ipod. So I used headphones.

Now I want to see a black Amazon driver dressed as a slave, singing "Swing Low Sweet Chariot", and getting chewed out over an in-van loudspeaker.

"Yuhsir! Won't happen again suh!"

Can you imagine the emergency PR meetings?!

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