Your Amazon Packages Will Soon Come Faster — If That’s Even Possible
August 1, 2023
Business Insider
Amazon has announced plans to double its number of same-day delivery facilities in the coming years, aiming to offer even faster delivery services. The company reported delivering over 1.8 billion packages in the same or next day to U.S. Amazon Prime members this year, a significant increase from 2019. While this expansion will provide more convenience for customers, it may raise concerns about increased workload and potentially harsher working conditions for delivery drivers, but Amazon assures that the nature of the workers’ jobs will remain the same, emphasizing that faster delivery does not mean faster employee work.
