Suicide attempts and mental breakdowns: 911 calls from Amazon warehouses reveal that some workers are struggling
New details have recently been uncovered about alleged conditions inside Amazon warehouses. 911 calls reviewed by the Daily Beast suggest that the tech company’s work conditions are so difficult, they’re apparently causing some employees to want to take their own lives.
The Daily Beast recently got access to records of 189 emergency incidents that occurred at 46 Amazon facilities between December 2013 and December 2018 — when 911 was dialed, as well as when emergency personnel were summoned to a fulfillment center. These calls suggested that the employees demonstrated suicidal tendencies. While their jobs were likely not the sole cause of these tendencies, many employees said Amazon contributed to their struggles.
