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.”

    What? No, you’re seeing masks because of the surge in covid. Article was updated to say Amazon is refuting the claim. It’s bogus.

          It means you were being sarcastic. Usually people put it at the end of a comment to emphasize they weren’t being serious.That’s the only reason I can think of why you said that.

            But I wasn’t. There was/is a surge in covid cases and this article is apparently completely false.

              You’re really so much of a, as you’d say, “fucking moron” that you just instantly believe Amazon when they pinky swear they’re not femtomanaging their drivers xD if you’re not being paid to spread this disinformation that’s just sad

                It’s not about believe Amazon you idiot, it’s about not believing the first and very egregious claim. Which I was right to doubt because apparently it’s an internal issue with how the system detects distractions and is being corrected internally lol. The workers coming on to complain and garner outrage over it are fucking babies and frankly disingenuous because they know there aren’t actually any rules against singing in the van.

      You forgot to put Amazon in your username, I thought they required that from paid shills?
