    if this is happening often enough that they get suspended… That’s not on me

    A lot of these places are one-and-done inside the first few weeks of employment, which makes the job particularly precarious.

    Amazon Fulfillment Centers are similarly very unforgiving to their staff, with anyone taking so much as a bathroom break risking unemployment.

    But the upshot of these high risk employment practices is that they burn through the available local labor pool very quickly. This drives up recruitment costs and lowers the bar for rehire.

    So what you’re ultimately threatening people with is the prospect of creating a fresh new account and spending some amount of time fighting with the automated recruitment systems. For newbies, that’s frustrating. For old heads, it’s not uncommon to have five or six accounts in the background that they can fall back on if one person gets them fired.
