Amazon hired 2,500 temp workers in my state for these jobs. They pay about $12/hour.
I really see nothing unreasonable about any of those rules, actually, and none of them strike me as a particular hardship.
And it doesn't appear that most of these are instant firing offenses - if you talk too much, you get moved; if you keep talking, you might get written up; eventually, you might be fired.
If you show up 30 minutes late, you get docked 1/2 a point; don't show up at all and get docked 3 points; collect 6 points and you're fired.
FWIW, I wish more places prohibited employees from showing up sick. Infecting everyone else in the warehouse isn't a good business practice. And as I order from Amazon a lot, I would also like to think that no one with the flu coughed on my new package.
