Amazon bans it's drivers from moving their lips too much

Guessing they are talking away on their phone and less about singing…,.

Can confirm. Got yelled at by a guy wearing a t-shirt about me wearing a t-shirt at the steel mill… apparently you’re supposed to have long sleeves there, even if it’s 95F out.

In J&L Steel Pittsburgh PA blast furnace works back in the 70's one hot summer day when everyone working in the upper rail-car unloading section, was literally soak-and-wet with sweat (as normal) and since it was an extra hot day the guys took off their flame-retardant long-sleeve green thick cotton shirts and worked in their T-shirts. That mill hired summer college students, including young women. A young woman working there was also hot, so she also took off her long-sleve shirt and was working in her soak-and-wet T-shirt. She was well endowed, and the T-shirt was totally soaked with sweat. A foreman checked on them, and seeing the situation, and not wanting to discriminate, said everyone has to wear ther issued shirts, no exceptions. The guys were not too happy about that.

People who have never worked in these conditions probably don't know that after the first 1/2 hour your clothes are soaked through with sweat, and the sweat evaporating helps to cool you.

And a step beyond that that some will not believe and think I'm kidding, but I totally telling it like it is, is that in the very hot sections like the coke-ovens everyone wears long-sleve cotton winter underwear shirts under their work shirts, and long length cotton underpants under their work pants, to better capture the sweat and cool them better, and also to protect them from IR heat.

When you contract with a company, you could demand whatever you want within reason. This is an interesting read on how Amazon delivery drivers work

The headline caught my attention and the story gave me pause for thought. Is this really happening? Can Amazon (or any company) do such a thing morally or legally? This is one of the strangest articles I've read in a very long time.

Essentially, Amazon is banning their drivers from singing along with the radio. Amazon claims such activity causes distracted driving. Gimme a break!

The article clearly states that Amazon has not banned singing in trucks.
More media Clickbait

Look at Tesla. The offices in New York have employees responsible for just reviewing fsd and autopilot video ( how much do you hate yourself to do that job?). Apparently if they don't log enough key strokes per hour it's a demerit. Three Demerits and your gone. Oh and make sure you log that you were in the restroom or you will get demerits as the software thinks you're not working.

I'm not going to even read the garbage. I treat people like a human being period. When they show up with a package, if I'm around, I'll have a casual conversation.

So many rules anymore people can't even be themselves anymore.
