5/6 available "games" Amazon offers to warehouse workers are competitive, and reward the fastest & hardest workers. Employees’ feelings on the program are mixed: Some praise the games for offering a distraction, while others describe it in dystopian terms https://t.co/unwLIV5gD9 pic.twitter.com/7uGRjqbFB6

New: Amazon is expanding a program to turn some of the most routine aspects of warehouse work into a video game

Workers in at least 20 US states can earn virtual currency by working quickly & "raise" pets in a Tamagotchi-like arcade game called Tamazillahttps://t.co/unwLIV5gD9
The problem with “optional” workplace gamification is that if wages are low and the game’s rewards are high, they’re not optional at all – it’s more like “play this game if you don’t want a relative pay cut” https://t.co/BdMw5QYo6P pic.twitter.com/n5Z29nf2V0

Amazon gamifies its warehouse workers to get them to do more work over their 10-hour shifts. Some games have them competing with other Amazon workers at their facilities and others. https://t.co/SVZeR5BP5J

Amazon has a warehouse program straight out of the "Fifteen Million Merits" episode of Black Mirror. In exchange for these merits that can buy an electronic pet, you get to enjoy the privilege of helping Amazon track productivity metrics. https://t.co/cnlS5kDFmK

Amazon’s cruelty to workers knows no bounds. Oligarchs like Jeff Bezos are pushing the envelope when it comes to the exploitation of labor. It’s sickening

These games don't actually offer anything material to workers—they just give Amazon more information about worker productivity and are designed to push workers to move faster. https://t.co/kMyjjSdBGE

아마존이 물류센터 근무자들의 일과업무를 ‘게임화’시키는 것을 확대하고 있다고. 예를 들어 물건을 픽업해서 트레이에 얹어 놓는 식으로 업무하나를 끝낼때마다 가상 화폐를 얻고 그걸로 참여하는 게임의 아이템을 사거나 아바타를 사육하는식. 리더보드로 경쟁도 한다고. https://t.co/L9TCesbUlb
