There is nothing strange about having a certain attitude towards your job. Some people love their job, they are very focused on their career and they see it as a big part of who they are. And of course, there are people who do not associate themselves with work that much. Either way, everyone deserves a workplace that can assure proper working conditions, a reasonable salary, and a pleasant atmosphere.

However, even in modern times, there are still some workplaces that try to impose these strict rules that make their employees feel as if they are being punished for some reason.

TikTok user @amazonassociatef1 shared a video that was taken by one of the employees working at Amazon—an American company that focuses on e-commerce. In the video, it is seen that the person is packing an ordered item when suddenly a voice starts yelling that “it’s 9:59” and not 10 o’clock yet, so workers do not have the right to leave their working area if they don’t want to get “TOT”, which stands for “Time Off Task” and indicates that every minute taken of work will not be compensated but treated as a break. So, those who stopped working at 9:59 won’t get paid for that one minute.

The TikToker also shared a video of an Amazon supervisor yelling at employees for finishing their shift 1 minute early

Even though this TikTok account has numerous videos that show work at Amazon, this particular video gained a lot of attention. The video now has 4.5m views and 631k likes. Of course, the situation was also discussed by other TikTok users, who agreed that this all reminds them of school when kids could be only dismissed by a teacher. A lot of people agreed that these workers should start a union to stop this unacceptable behavior with employees.

This TikTok account has a lot of other videos that allow viewers to get a deeper understanding of what kind of working conditions are in this warehouse. The worker shows how and what kind of items they have to pack and how fast they have to do it. One of the comments left on the famous video stated that the warehouse is really big, so even going to the break room takes time from employees’ time off. These videos prove that the workplace is actually big and this seems tricky.

What is interesting to notice is that there are also comments that state that there is nothing wrong with this kind of behavior because employees are simply asked to do their job.
