Professor Michael Marmot was shown secret filming of night shifts involving up to 11 miles of walking - where an undercover worker was expected to collect orders every 33 seconds. It comes as the company employs 15,000 extra staff to cater for Christmas.'

On a personal level, I just have to thank God I will never have to stoop so low as to work for Amazon again....
My wife has landed a good job at a Caribbean high commission, while I have now got my Masters and I'm doing much better tutoring students in A Level history. I'm also currently in the process of enrolling at a uni to do my PHD. Thanks to all the posters on this thread for their support....

Quite shocking, and even though it shouldn't be surprising, it is surprising that it is happening so much in Britain. Unfortunately, I don't think this sort of thing will improve, but will increase. Well done on escaping.
It reminds me of the picture painted of "future's" society in the novel The Running Man. (not the film) Released by a Richard Bachman but written by Stephen King.
It also makes me realise just how lucky I am. Never hurts to be reminded of that.
