"from the article" "Amazon knew delegating work to machines would lead to mistakes and damaging headlines, these former managers said, but decided it was cheaper to trust the algorithms than pay people to investigate mistaken firings so long as the drivers could be replaced easily."
my comment: and what happens when they can't easily be replaced because you've burned through the available pool of drivers?
I've worked at two of those wonderful places like that.
One the wouldn't hire you unless they had a reason to fire you.
That place had to ask the temp service to send 4 temps to even have a chance of having a single person actually show up.
And another place that just couldn't get people to go there.....period
