Manager created a competition system in our area — good workers are quitting
I work in the damage/returns area at Amazon. Wanted to share what's been happening and see if others have experienced this. When pallets arrive, one coworker always picks the easiest items first, leaving the rest for others. This directly affects rate. Management is aware — they addressed it once early on, then stopped caring. Now the attitude from management is basically: "I only care about your numbers. If you fight over items, that's your problem." No intervention, no fair distribution system. Just blame when rates drop. Several good, experienced workers have already quit because of this environment. I've been tolerating it but it's starting to affect me mentally. Just wanted to know — has anyone dealt with this? Did anything actually change, or is this just how it goes?
