Many described how people would be written up and fired due to the high expectations that only “robots” could meet and being delayed by issues that were not their fault. Things have gotten even worse during the pandemic. Advertisement Recently workers have started protesting Bezos and Amazon for failing to protect their workers during the pandemic. They are asking for hazard pay and more protection from the virus at work. Their campaign, #MakeAmazonPay, has been supported by activists, lawmakers, and workers around the world. Their open letter reads, “The world knows that Amazon can afford to pay its workers, its environmental cost, and its taxes. And yet—time and again—you have dodged and dismissed your debts to workers, societies, and the planet.”
