Thread 509240100

This will soon be the new standard. What do you do with all of the people now out of a job with no means to support themselves? Amazon apparently has a heavy turn over rate and that is the excuse they are using for automating their workforce, why not just improve work conditions and pay more instead of replacing the workers with robots altogether?

>With more than one million robots at its warehouses, Amazon’s global workforce of 1.56 million people is on the verge of being outnumbered by the machines, The Wall Street Journal reports.

>Although Amazon is deploying more robots, maintains Amazon Robotics Chief Technologist Tye Brady, Amazon will continue to need workers. The robots are merely meant to help Amazon manage heavy staff turnover, reduce menial tasks, and make workers’ jobs easier — not to replace people, Brady said.

So if you firebomb an amazon warehouse only amazon management will be at risk of dying?

neat.

>>509240100 (OP)
They should create robots who will buy the products that was produced by robots and writing reviews about them to inspire others robots to buy them.

>>509240100 (OP)
we need more migrants to repair the robots

>>509240100 (OP)
Good, destroy amazon or fuck off but were not doing le amazon workers unions because it shouldn't even exist in our country

>>509240100 (OP)
Would they not be robot slaves, they bought them. How are they employed?

>>509240100 (OP)
Learn to repair the robots. I don’t want to see people doing menial tasks toiling day by day if it can easily be done by a robot. These ex Amazon employees can work in the fields and hotels when we kick the spics out.

>Amazon apparently has a heavy turn over rate and that is the excuse they are using for automating their workforce..
Utter fucking horseshit. They do stack ranking, which autoboots the 'lowest performing' min. 10% of the entire workforce per year. Except AMZN were such a shit employer anyway, their employee turnover was around 150%. They had to tone down the deliberate churn because they had warehouses where they had already been through the entire plausible local workforce and had to start rehiring cunts they'd already booted at least once.
Amazon do need robots yeah. But only because they are cunt employers not fit to be in charge of humans.

>>509240674
do you really think someone at amazon is doing component level repair on a robot? kek. robot breaks they replace it with a new one and mail the broken robot back to the manufacturing site for some $25/hour tech retard to swap entire the entire set of PCBs and trash the old ones. also the whole point of automation is to save money. 1 worker being replaced with 1 robot does not create 1 $25/hour tech job. it's more like 100 job losses to 100 robots to 1 $25/hour tech job, because they're like 99% reliable.

Job corps destroyed the trades and the master apprentice relationship, whereas people used to have family business they passed down or locals in the neighborhood they would learn new skills from now it is in the hands of an intermediary service who funnels you to usually an assembly line or warehouse setting. Temporary services are a scam meant to demoralize man into accepting the lowest of the low for himself. Basically it does promote poverty in place of the quality things we used to have. At it's core it was probably a net positive and trade schools are still a good thing for things like cdl HVAC etc but the modern application of it is meant to depersonalize and destroy, and it has. You will never form lifelong bonds with your employer, your neighbors, own your own business, or pass it down to your children and that is now "pro white" because some literal communist said so.

Amazon mturk set the stage for the modern gig economy and is a product of retarded federal programs such as job corps

Hang jeff bezos for treason and destroy amazon it shouldn't exist

HVAC companies are being targeted for acquisition by private equity firms. if you want someone to blame, blame the gen x tradesniggers who are selling out to big business jews.

You kill them in a World War.

Just kidding. You give them welfare. And by them I mean consumers. And by that I mean you indirectly give companies like Amazon welfare. When that system fails, then you have a World War to destroy the debt and global production overcapacity.

>>509240384
Are they really though plus the workers still keep their jobs? This is an Amazon spokesmen telling us this afterall, surely they wouldn't lie.

>>509242609
Well that is the purpose of technology in general so it's really easy to believe.

>>509242739
There have been countless advances over the decades, are people now getting to work less hours, pay gone up, and not have to work as hard? No, if anything people are working harder, more hours, and their pay has stagnated. It should be the purpose of technology to make stuff easier but in practice has that been the case?

>>509242993
Yeah imagine us having this conversation by mail. It'd be way harder and take forever and and be really expensive.

>>509243149
Exactly and yet has it helped your average worker with less work hours, higher pay, or have to not work as hard.....no. In fact with just mail you at least get a break during transit now you are flooded with tasks and messages all at one time and are expected to take care of all of it a short amount of time so basically you get more work piled on you.

>>509243430
>with just mail you at least get a break during transit
Well YOU do, but if the people in transit take a break then it takes even longer, so you're just offloading the work onto someone else.
Also, this is the kind of fallacy I like to call "It's not a bug, it's a feature!"

Robotic humanoids don’t need lunch breaks, they don’t call out sick or take vacation time, they don’t need benefits/medical insurance, they don’t need to go home and can operate 24 hours per day, they don’t waver in efficiency/quality of their work.

>>509244100
Either way in a work place setting the only people that can be proven to have directly benefitted from advances in technology are higher ups in companies that's it. The average worker despite everything getting quicker and easier has seen no increase in pay now that costs are down, work the same hours or even longer hours so no improvement there, and since productivity has been increasing over the decades people have been working harder.

>>509240384
it's like having a horse instead of a car... you need to feed it, store it, and it can get sick, but a car is an ideal mechanism, and the same goes for robots

>>509244747
I'm sure postal workers appreciate the fewer letters we'd be sending if not for modern communication technologies, which BTW are also very important in work place settings.
Anyway, both of us can afford to sit around and gossip on a Tuesday so we're not working too hard, although I have some light work to do very soon which will probably preclude my typing out further messages.

who is going to be able to afford any of the shit they sell when everyone is out of a job due to AI and automation? there are only so many billionaires to buy their shit.

And human workers don't need electric power to function, a programmer to spend hours programming them, are very cheap with almost no upfront costs, have lower overhead costs and are replaceable compared to robots.

Robots are amazing for many things and have many advantages, but to blindly say they are superior to a human worker in every case, is foolish.

>t. robotics automation engineer

Amazon is a really interesting place. There is literally interview process for associates. If you can pass a criminal background check and a drug screening (does not screen for weed) then congrats - you are hired! The bot vs human performance comes down to consistency. Almost every function performed by robots can be done more efficiently by a high performing human. The issue is the severe lack of high performing humans at Amazon. We have a LOT of lazy good for nothing workers that simply do not care about anything other than doing the bare minimum to not be fired. It is basically welfare for at least 40% of our employees and they need to be gone.

>>509248515
Sorry, no coffee yet. There is NO interview process for associates.

I would guesstimate that roughly 20 - 30% of our employees are too high to actually work after first break. No one hides it. The parking lot is weed central at every break. This is in a non-legalized state by the way. I can't imagine how bad it is in dude-weed-bro states. Some are drunkards, a handful of pill heads and speed freaks make a showing as well. Across the full age spectrum, I would wager that ~ 30% of the workers perform 90% of the work. This is true at any age range. We have zoomers that kill it because their parents raised them to have a work ethic, and we have zoomers that show up in pajamas high as fuck and are useless to everyone around them. Same for every age bracket. Eventually, people burn through their time off options or get caught stealing or creating safety hazards and are fired. In general though if you were not escorted out of the building by security, you can be re-hired in 90 days. It's a revolving door of dumbasses.
