Fired For Petty Reasons
One of the employees stated, “I used to work for PMP, I worked hard and didn’t stand around chatting. One day, a manager saw me chatting to a Romanian guy for a minute, the next day I was told not to come in again.”
Absurd Deadlines
The company used to give impractical deadlines which were hard to meet no matter the hard work the workers put in. The Verge reported that it fired an insane amount of workers who failed at meeting efficiency criteria set by them.
Treated As Robots
If the deadlines weren’t enough the company also has a tracking system for the workers called “time off task”, which automatically generates warnings for the breaks. The workers also said that they used to avoid bathroom breaks to save their time or else the system generated a terminal letter.
Affecting The Health
The unimaginable efficiency rate that the workers had to meet not only affected their mental health but also had an adverse effect on their bodies as well.
Peak Time
Many of the workers were reported to be suffering from mental illness due to grueling work at the warehouse because of unimaginable work pressure in the peak season. Though the company claims to give medical services, the reports and revelation that came in light are contradicting the statements.
Finding The Victim
Kim and April tried to find more truth about the same and the victim behind the letter though couldn’t succeed. The companies say the investigation is still on but they could never reach the person how had written the note.
