I know this is supposed to be a funny, but they are actually doing this kind of thing with their ebike delivery service. No license required, but supposedly must be 18.
So if you’ve lost your license because of multiple drunk driving convictions, amazon has a job for you.
Amazon (through their subcontractors) pays significantly less than UPS or FedEx, so they get all the folks fired by UPS and FedEx and just put up with insane churn. Kind of like a fast food restaurant.

A job which technically doesn’t involve driving. It’s the state’s responsibility to rehabilitate or punish drunk drivers into never drunk driving again, right?
But I’ll leave it at that before I run any cover for Amazon.
Addictions are complicated and not easily “fixed” in many cases. That leaves permanently in jail or a job they can make money at while not driving.
It should be noted in many states you can get a DWI on a bike or scooter…
Amazon is awful obviously, but that doesn’t sound too bad
Funny how in one Lemmy post everyone is complaining that people get burned for life in the job market for making a mistake. Or how employers are evil for mandatory drug testing… And in the next one they get riled up because a company would dare hire a recovering alcoholic to ride a bike
I think it has a lot to do with whether you are helping them to rebuild their life, or exploiting their desperation.
Would not hiring them help
Paying a living wage and providing social security for workers would help more. Two wrongs don’t make a right.
Well the original comment I was replying to worded it like these people should not be hired for these jobs, at all.
Of course I agree everyone should be free to pay them a better wage
“Help” would entail treating them as equal, not paying them a fraction of worth just because they cant find work anywhere else.
Wow, that’s crazy. I wonder what number to call about those jobs. Just idle curiosity.
keywords like “Bike,” “EBiker,” “Cycler,” or “Delivery Associate.”
The Ebike is only used in dense urban areas.
Be advised, amazon’s reputation is horrible. They really brutalize their employees.
Not only brutalize, but also leave their employees dead in warehouses and force other employees to work around the body.
Fuuuuuuuuuck Amazon. There was another article mixed into this horror story with another horror story where “every day people” can invest in real estate. Basically, everyday people are paying for Amazon to buy out all of the extra real estate and price fix “the everyday people” out of living in great cities. Again, fuuuuuuuuuuuuuck Amazon.
What do the everyday investors get out of that then?
Hmm I can see why that would be so tempting, and also why it’s so horribly dangerous and unethical. You’d literally have to pick to invest specifically in a country of people you want to fuck over for it to be anything other than turkeys voting for thanksgiving
Well they did put up some orange cones, so nobody would step on him.
Cones cost money. Plenty of Gatorade pee bottles though.
I know, I worked there for almost a decade.

Not like that though.
He drives a hi-lo in the warehouse. 👍
…a Hi-Lo?
michigan for forklift
It’s like a Lo-Hi but backwards
Duh
