There is an Amazon fulfillment center in my town. They are on a hiring spree and they can’t find enough people. the place is a sweatshop and they are quickly burning through the entire population of employable people.

Animation is their only hope in the long run.

Great typo! Let’s put Mickey Mouse to work....

"Animation is their only hope in the long run."

That must be for virtual products. :-D

Yup. This type of job is pretty much the perfect job for automation over humans. The job requires no critical thinking or decision-making, as the sole task is essentially “take X item from Y shelf and deposit it in Z bin.” Considering that machines are more accurate, faster, and don’t get tired, automation is a no-brainer.

Animation? Are they hiring Pixar workers? ;-/

Necromancy, for when the workers drop.

There is one here and heard similar.

They are opening a fulfillment center in my hometown, Carteret, NJ. 500+ positions available.

I am guessing you are in the town of Amazon's BIGGEST center in Kentucky, right? As you probably know, they have a lot of regional sub-centers including one in suburban Pittsburgh, PA, which are hardly known.

We got a delivery one day from a gal in a private car who told us the sub center used a lot of part-timers like her . . . very ideal for a Mom with school children who had hours free during the day when her kids are in school.

They seem to be very smart about using available labor like this.
