  • I always feel sad with these kinds of stories. The machine is clearly just trying to be helpful but it doesn’t understand a thing about what it is doing or why we might find what it is saying repugnant. It’s like watching a dog not understanding that yes, we like our slippers, but we don’t want our neighbours swastika themed ones on our doorstep.

    And then of course we get to the content and I am reminded that we live in hell and the sadness is replaced by the familiar horror as the machine pretends to empathise with its fellow Amazon workers and helps them pick out the ideal thing to piss in without missing their drop targets.





  • Yeah, as I said it’s going to be based on region. If you are served out of a store you can at least go in and have a look at how well it is run and how well things are kept stocked. The pickers pick off the same shelves as regular shoppers there. CFCs are a bit more of a black box but in theory they work better because you can run everything so much more smoothly and predictively. In practice though pickers there are far more overloaded and there is less ability to break from the plan and there is just less backstock in general. If someone drops a case of jam then that might be all there is until tomorrow.

    Only real thing you can do is give them a go. It’s worth remembering that Tesco and Asda are independent, but Morrisons, Waitrose, M&S, and Ocado might actually be working out of the same site.

    The other option is meal kit delivery. I know some people who use HelloFresh and they seem to be generally pleased with it. There are some mistakes but they keep using them so it can’t be terrible.



  • There is a bit of truth here. Toxic culture and out of touch management will make people walk as well.

    Thing is, there might just be a wad of cash big enough to make me put up with that against my health interests.

    Fuck ping pong tables though. No one left a company because they didn’t have enough fucking table sports. If you think they are then you are the problem. Exit interview your own fucking arse.
