Amazon workers-hard time

This Christmas a number of people will be unhappy due to unemployment but Amazon workers will have to work more now. According to a report by Sunday Times the employees are required to work a night shift on Saturday besides the regular hours. Sick leave even with a note from doctor is also banned. The penalty system will also be effective which means that six strikes and you’re out with respect to days off to recover. There will also be “bonus” payments just to fulfill the formality, which will be subject to almost impossible performance. Workers will have to pack up 140 XBOX consoles  per hour in order to be eligible for the bonus.
