Lying to the committee should be an offence with a custodial sentence. There should also be no need to write back when they can ring the relevant department and get facts.
They always miss a very important question. How many Amazon employees are also currently dependent on UK benefits? Tax credits,child benefits, Universal Credit food banks ect Every employer should be held accountable for that.
@alfsmith4936 I am certain that would be the case. Since minimum wage. Tax payers are picking up the bill for employers who refuse to pay the going rate. It's absolutely insanity to accept this situation while they are posting staggering profit margins. It's only possible because big companies can pay off/Lobby MP's.
Absolutely correct, in work benefits are a subsidy to buisness that allows them to make excessively excessive profits. Then when national insurance on employers is increased to cover such costs, they winge, put up price's and the worker consumer pays again and inflation increases. Never ending Madness
I worked for US chemical companies for 30 years, the last 10 years in HSE, if we had 1400 ambulance call outs in 10 years globally, no stone would be left unturned until we found out why!
So the man you blinded is lying? Should have brought him to that committee. This lady is in complete denial mode. Amazon has been covertly filmed on several occasions, former workers have made statements, I even know 1 former driver that claims that pissing in bottles is real… This lady reminds me of my X, oh if I did not see it with my own eyes, so therefore it never happened, so there’s no problem.

The government can force people to apply for their jobs or have their benefits stopped for breach of the Claimant Commitment. It's all part of the corporate coercion.
I used to work in a steel mill - a VERY dangerous environment. We’d see a couple of ambulances a year, maybe. And it would be a big deal and lead to process changes. Almost one a day is INSANE!
They expect workers to do things they would never accept. To say that the clock stops for toilet breaks is an outright lie, he doesn't know his own system and he's clearly never picked an order against the clock.
@chrismc...I doubt that wou.d ever happen I know way too many people that love buying from this company ....I knew this would happen years ago...but hey ho my friends/family didn't believe ...😢
Imagine how this would improve the Amazon customer service, especially with that smile 😅 The only downside is that if a customer asks something, she will always answer: “yeeeaas”.
Amazon's employee turnover rate is high, with some estimates putting it at around 150% annually: Warehouse workers Amazon's warehouse workers have an annual turnover rate of around 150%, which is nearly double the rate of similar businesses. This means that Amazon replaces its entire warehouse workforce roughly every eight months. Overall workforce Amazon's overall turnover rate is also high, and is generally well above industry norms. Cost The high turnover rate costs Amazon and its shareholders $8 billion annually. Amazon's turnover rate varies by position and section, but some say it's a strategic move: Amazon's beliefs: Amazon believes that a tenured workforce leads to mediocrity. Performance improvement plans: Amazon ranks all of its employees every year and fires the bottom 10%. Tech workers: Amazon's tech workers usually leave within two years. In contrast, Amazon's Prime Video has a low churn rate of 8%, which is the lowest among streaming services.
You know the majority of Amazon’s profit comes from AWS, not the retail website, right? If nobody bought from Amazon retail, it wouldn’t kill the company.
Yeah, but it would still make the warehouses and delivery jobs untenable, wouldn't it? Amazon wouldn't go under, sure, but there'd be no demand for the labour-intensive aspects in question here @jake6112
Absolutely nauseating listening to these two speak about how wonderful amazon is to its employees, especially from that woman who cant seem to wipe that smile off her face.
Here we go - Ultimately, “I don’t recognise that” can be both a denial and a means of deflecting further probing, often used to avoid incriminating oneself or committing to a particular stance under scrutiny.
7:01 there are videos on RUclips evidencing that the employees, particularly in US do infact urinate in plastic bottles and then thrown them into bushes/shrubland!
The Committee should have asked the Amazon Executives how many days they had worked on the Amazon picking lines and how many toilet breaks they took???????
@@OkayestOfDads Yes, of course that's your opinion because you want to appear more self-righteous that I am. I'd argue that writing "ceo" instead of "CEO" is indicative of laziness and/or a poor education. Off you go then, sonny. Mind how you go and stay away from sharp scissors. Discussion closed.
On average an ambulance call out is a minimum £600 cost. That was in 2015, I was made ill-health retired from the ambulabce service because of an injury at work due to faulty equipment. That £600 will have gotten much higher now.
I was a Christmas temp picking items. The scanners we used ran out of charge, affecting performance. We had a short time (seconds) in which to pick items. If you were at the top of a four- storey tower and your next pick was on the ground floor at the opposite end of the vast warehouse, your performance was badly affected. I was knackered at the end of my eight hour shift. How even more knackering must it be to have to endure a ten hour shift!
It's almost as if they aren't aware they are being recorded. The brazen double-speak they use is political in nature, and belies their total unaccountability. Ultimately they go home, feed the kids go to bed and sod the workers.
1400? Bleddy heck. I've worked on major manufacturing sites with dangerous equipment in every building and we've never had more than a trickle times anyone has been rushed to hospital. 1400 cases in warehouses? That's a massive level of corporate negligence. I've got to ask why the HSE hasn't ordered site closures.
'When we ask our employees if they like working for us, they tell us they do'. Even if that wasn't just a boldfaced lie it would just as meaningful as asking a shark if the fish wants to be eaten.
Every time Stuart speaks she nods and smiles and gazes at him. A sure sign of coercive training. Performance targets are set above what is achievable to push employees to beat the percentage which in turn pushes the target higher. Considering the high turn over of employees, training and safety standards will suffer as they need the goods picked and dispatched asap.

I used to work in a steel mill - a VERY dangerous environment. We’d see a couple of ambulances a year, maybe. And it would be a big deal and lead to process changes. Almost one a day is INSANE!
He asks a question, she answers with a lot of unnecessary words. I'd love for her to work a shift in the warehouse to see what it's like
They expect workers to do things they would never accept.
To say that the clock stops for toilet breaks is an outright lie, he doesn't know his own system and he's clearly never picked an order against the clock.
We should really stop buying from Amazon
@chrismc...I doubt
that wou.d ever happen I know way too many people that love buying from this company ....I knew this would happen years ago...but hey ho my friends/family didn't believe ...😢
Catch up. Boycotted them a long time ago. When I learned what really earned them money and how they monopolise markets.
Holy shit that woman is unbearably Amazon-pilled
# Send Jennifer to the wherhouse and Stuart to deliver 280 parcels and u will see if they have time to use the toilet or the bottles 😂
Imagine how this would improve the Amazon customer service, especially with that smile 😅
The only downside is that if a customer asks something, she will always answer: “yeeeaas”.
It would be good to see them bring employees to these panels.
Amazon's employee turnover rate is high, with some estimates putting it at around 150% annually:
Warehouse workers
Amazon's warehouse workers have an annual turnover rate of around 150%, which is nearly double the rate of similar businesses. This means that Amazon replaces its entire warehouse workforce roughly every eight months.
Overall workforce
Amazon's overall turnover rate is also high, and is generally well above industry norms.
Cost
The high turnover rate costs Amazon and its shareholders $8 billion annually.
Amazon's turnover rate varies by position and section, but some say it's a strategic move:
Amazon's beliefs: Amazon believes that a tenured workforce leads to mediocrity.
Performance improvement plans: Amazon ranks all of its employees every year and fires the bottom 10%.
Tech workers: Amazon's tech workers usually leave within two years.
In contrast, Amazon's Prime Video has a low churn rate of 8%, which is the lowest among streaming services.
"I don't recognize these accusations" that aka 'there are reports but we reguse to acknowledge them, and will bury any evidence of such'
Why not an independent survey of job satisfaction instead of anecdotal/ unsubstantiated claims?
Do you actually need to know the answer to that 😂
When she speaks with her corporate bullshit I immediately distrust her. She’s telling you it’s raining while pissing down your back.
I think she believes her smile and demeanor is charming..
It's not
Its like listening to a robot using words it dosent understand about a process its clueless about!
If you have any Christmas spirit at all, don't buy anything from Amazon this year.
Amazon wouldn't exist if no one bought
You know the majority of Amazon’s profit comes from AWS, not the retail website, right? If nobody bought from Amazon retail, it wouldn’t kill the company.
Yeah, but it would still make the warehouses and delivery jobs untenable, wouldn't it? Amazon wouldn't go under, sure, but there'd be no demand for the labour-intensive aspects in question here @jake6112
@@jake6112I work in software and I can attest that almost all the job postings in the software industry require knowledge of AWS
@@jake6112it's more like 20-30% AWS
Employees are cannon fodder. They either run you into the ground. Sack you, or bully you.
Absolutely nauseating listening to these two speak about how wonderful amazon is to its employees, especially from that woman who cant seem to wipe that smile off her face.
I hope Stuart and Jennifer experience their own ambulance based callouts soon
The faces of the observers behind them says it all- BS
The eye rolling from them is classic.
Why ask lying managers about the crap working conditions, ask the workers who have to work there
The two of them are soulless corporate robots 😖
Those two are a great advert for trade unions.
The face of the guy in the second row at 9:38 says more than the PR muppets in front of him.
12:15 was quite funny too
that guy is brilliant!
The lady next to him trying to keep it together after seeing his reaction is a belter.
Here we go - Ultimately, “I don’t recognise that” can be both a denial and a means of deflecting further probing, often used to avoid incriminating oneself or committing to a particular stance under scrutiny.
7:01 there are videos on RUclips evidencing that the employees, particularly in US do infact urinate in plastic bottles and then thrown them into bushes/shrubland!
The Committee should have asked the Amazon Executives how many days they had worked on the Amazon picking lines and how many toilet breaks they took???????
Send Bezos an invoice. If he can afford a wanger-shaped rocket, he can afford to pay for the ambulance costs.
Shouldn't employers have to pay for that if there is credible evidence the working environment breached H&S..?
Not the ceo anymore.
@@OkayestOfDads "CEO" - it's an acronym and therefore capitalised.
Nit-picking mistakes can work both ways.
Merry Christmas.
@terrydaktyllus1320 yeah no. Calling out capitalization is far different than you being 4 years late on who the current CEO is.
@@OkayestOfDads Yes, of course that's your opinion because you want to appear more self-righteous that I am.
I'd argue that writing "ceo" instead of "CEO" is indicative of laziness and/or a poor education.
Off you go then, sonny. Mind how you go and stay away from sharp scissors.
Discussion closed.
How about, just answer the question. The role of select cmtt is not to be an advert for HR recruiting.
What a PR nightmare she is
they would make great politicians because they dont ever answer the question either
My thoughts exactly!!
The lies just falling out of there mouth is shocking. They should be held for contempt.
Luigi has a present for both of these, too.
😂🙌🏻
On average an ambulance call out is a minimum £600 cost. That was in 2015, I was made ill-health retired from the ambulabce service because of an injury at work due to faulty equipment. That £600 will have gotten much higher now.
And people wonder why that Healthcare ceo is no longer alive....
I was a Christmas temp picking items. The scanners we used ran out of charge, affecting performance. We had a short time (seconds) in which to pick items. If you were at the top of a four- storey tower and your next pick was on the ground floor at the opposite end of the vast warehouse, your performance was badly affected. I was knackered at the end of my eight hour shift. How even more knackering must it be to have to endure a ten hour shift!
It's almost as if they aren't aware they are being recorded. The brazen double-speak they use is political in nature, and belies their total unaccountability. Ultimately they go home, feed the kids go to bed and sod the workers.
1400? Bleddy heck. I've worked on major manufacturing sites with dangerous equipment in every building and we've never had more than a trickle times anyone has been rushed to hospital. 1400 cases in warehouses? That's a massive level of corporate negligence. I've got to ask why the HSE hasn't ordered site closures.
'When we ask our employees if they like working for us, they tell us they do'. Even if that wasn't just a boldfaced lie it would just as meaningful as asking a shark if the fish wants to be eaten.
😂😂 Great comment! Very apt! 👍🏽
They really aren't human are they.
Ye gods, that was a spectacular demonstration of corporate bullshit on the part of the Amazon executives.
Opening statement..
AMAZONS SAFETY IS OUR PRIORITY ...
Not for the employees.
RED FLAG !!!
MAKE AMAZONPAY FOR ALL AMBULANCE CALLOUTS😂
Every time Stuart speaks she nods and smiles and gazes at him. A sure sign of coercive training. Performance targets are set above what is achievable to push employees to beat the percentage which in turn pushes the target higher. Considering the high turn over of employees, training and safety standards will suffer as they need the goods picked and dispatched asap.
I’m sick of the Bench Marking wage excuse.
