Goodbye to humans in warehouses — Amazon rolls out new autonomous robots in the UK and accelerates full automation

Amazon is going to put an end to human labour. Yes, it has reached a turning point that will change how we view salaried work forever: robots will outnumber human employees in warehouses around the world. The company that until a few years ago was seen as a major job creator has now said no more human labour, it wants more robots.

Layoffs continue and job automation doesn’t seem to be slowing down, because of course, not only does it improve company productivity, but machines don’t get sick, don’t ask for personal days, and don’t demand their labour rights… The data may be very optimistic for Amazon, but workers are seeing their jobs being taken away… and there’s no turning back. Here’s what’s happening inside Amazon’s warehouses.
