Fear tactics

I am a current employee at Amazon. I am currently looking for a a new job and will probably take a welcomed cut in pay. Amazon uses fear tactics to make you scared of losing your job. They come to you almost daily to tell you that your work performance needs to be better. 

I am a picker and pick anywhere from 280- 320 units per hour. They tell me I need to pick at 350 period. If you make any mistakes, You get wrote up. If you don't pick at the rate of 350 items per hour, you are wrote up. 

They also steal your break time. It takes 5 minutes to get to the break rooms from the 3rd and 4th floor, then you have to wait in line to clock out. That's a total of almost 8-10 minutes gone from both 30 minute breaks. 

When you have the one on one every day the managers tell you you are not performing good, at the stand up with everyone present, managers tell you you are doing great as a team. I know of people under doctors' care getting groomed for termination. 

They need not hire older people for such work conditions. They told me they hired me based on my resume and I wound up in picking which is tearing my 55 year old body to shreds. 

They don't care about people, they only care about numbers.
