The new last mile warehouse they're building in Ypsi is 185,000 sqft and is only supposed to cost them $10 million to build
That’s wild. Especially in the current construction labor and materials market. Wonder if that’s just the building only without any FF&E. Still at $54 a foot that’s very low.
I think you're right. I misspoke too, it's 143,000 sqft so $70/sqft https://www.mlive.com/news/ann-arbo...slated-as-hub-for-fleet-of-delivery-vans.html
Campus postman just told me they have 638 packages today just from Amazon, not including FedEx or anything else. Back in my day you had to get stuff for your dorm from Walmart
Nowadays, yeah. Receiving packages used to be a lot fewer and further between. Now they are probably ordering Amazon every time they need toothpaste or something. I bet these fucks aren't recycling cardboard either. I know we have those Amazon lockers in 2 places on campus now
My apartment building has a locker system. They’re constantly sending out emails asking people to pick up their stuff
Amazon is delivering so many packages these days, they have started to sell advertising on their packages. Coming to you soon.
Supply chain is fucked up so that’s probably causing issues on items you may be looking at. They want to have one day shipping. They are also doing 7 day a week deliveries.
Agree, I don’t think I’ve had anything in at least the last 6mo that was 2 days. Most things take a few days till they ship then its 2 days.
They made changes at the beginning of the pandemic and haven't fully changed back, and probably won't at this point. ""To serve our customers while also helping to ensure the safety of our associates, we've changed our logistics, transportation, supply chain, purchasing, and third-party seller processes to prioritize stocking and delivering items that are a higher priority for our customers," a statement from Amazon said. "This has resulted in some of our delivery promises being longer than usual."
It's going to be interesting to see if Amazon just straight up closes that warehouse, I know big box companies have done that in the past when local stores have organized.
He's so dumb that he thinks unions literally dictate shifts that workers don't have to take, or more likely just intentionally lying about everything.
he sounds drunk i'm going to look like an asshole when someone points out that he has some kind of condition
I worked the graveyard shift at UPS loading trucks for two summers during college. Got a $1K signing bonus both summers. Can’t remember what the hourly rate was but I thought it was high. For a summer job it was great. Sleep most of the day, go hang by the pool then go to work from 10-3. The we’d play basketball until 6, go to breakfast then go home. The actual work sucked being in a warehouse during StL summer humidity. I cant Imagine someone that had any kind of family responsibility doing it, but there were a lot. The thought of just dictating when workers can and should work is an impressive display of Capital arrogance.
