(chinguri)Amazon warehouses, even the ones powered by amazing shelf robots, depend mostly on human labor to get the stuff off the shelves and into boxes. The job doesn’t pay very much and is grueling, and also has high turnover. Oh, and employees are asked to sign 18-month non-compete contracts that ban them from working for any competitor of Amazon. We thought that the non-compete contract that Jimmy John’s made its employees sign was bad, and that only limited ex-workers from working in any place that makes more than 10% of its money from selling “submarine, hero-type, deli-style, pita and/or wrapped or rolled sandwiches.” Yet The Verge got hold of a seasonal worker’s contract and made it public, and it has a surprising requirement.
