Drivers pee in bottles and poop in bags to stay on time. The warehouse workers work schedules that hurt organs and tendons, and are close to wearing diapers like meat packers need to. I have a friend that got hurt working the less strenuous jobs at a warehouse.

Warehouse workers sometimes die packing the boxes as fast as they do. Then managers force workers to work next to the corpse for hours or be fired. They have mental health booths or “suicide booths” people jokingly call them, where you can sit inside and cry or clam down if you need to.

Edit: Deaths, most of which management ignored until a worker found the body and called 911 https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2019/oct/17/amazon-warehouse-worker-deaths
