  I spy with my dystopian Amazon eye, someone is about to be fired!

  This week, reports have emerged of how Amazon is monitoring its warehouse workers’ sense of humor. This is absolutely bizarre. Why would it need to know or even want to know whether its employees can deliver a good punchline? The story takes an even stranger twist when you consider Amazon specifically started a program called Veritas, which is designed to keep an eye on employees’ quickness and their humorous responses, apparently both on the warehouse floor and on their social media sites.

  I have no idea how Amazon is monitoring its staff’s wit, or what method of analysis it’s using. But what’s obvious is exactly why Amazon and Jeff Bezos feel the personalities of those employed to pick and pack are so important.

  Surprise, surprise, it has nothing to do with any skills in locating your order, and everything to do with protecting and defending Bezos and Amazon from mounting scrutiny from the public, media and politicians about the working environment, pay and conditions employees have to accept.

  Hence the Veritas program, which seeks out employees to wittily and authentically fight the corner for Bezos and Amazon on social media.

  Very dystopian, protect the great leader at all cost or face the consequences, is it North Korea or Amazon they are working for.
