Amazon first tried to deny it, but has now acknowledged that its couriers often don’t get a chance to go to the bathroom.

Amazon has apologized to US Congressman Mark Pocan for trying to deny the harsh working conditions at the parcel service, ABC News reports.

A senior Amazon official had previously discussed on Twitter what a progressive workplace is at Amazon; in response, a Wisconsin spokesman said the $ 15-per-hour rate cannot be described as progressive, especially if workers are forced to urinate into a bottle of mineral water.

Amazon initially tried to trivialize this claim by saying that if it really were, no one would work for them. Later, however, they recognized that their messengers often find it really difficult to make time for the bath, especially during their rural trips. In addition, the epidemic situation is exacerbated by the closure of many public toilets in the United States. And the problem of bottling is present throughout the parcel industry, at least according to Amazon.

The company always bets that it is looking for a solution to the problem, although it does not yet know what it will be.

Online stores must be able to meet the changing needs of users to stay afloat with global weapons. Profitability, flexibility, sustainability – just some of the factors that can guarantee success and that Amazon easily implements, or even the method used by eBay and AliExpress, the so-called using microservice architecture. This is what the Stylers Group, which supplies IT solutions for businesses, states in their analysis and at the same time explains exactly what this seemingly mysterious concept means and how a Hungarian web store can benefit from it.

The messenger, who has no mask, plays with his work.
