Not like that though.
He drives a hi-lo in the warehouse. 👍
I know this is supposed to be a funny, but they are actually doing this kind of thing with their ebike delivery service. No license required, but supposedly must be 18.
So if you’ve lost your license because of multiple drunk driving convictions, amazon has a job for you.

A job which technically doesn’t involve driving. It’s the state’s responsibility to rehabilitate or punish drunk drivers into never drunk driving again, right?
But I’ll leave it at that before I run any cover for Amazon.
Bike courrier would be such a great job. Not for such an evil company, obviously, but in general I’d love that job.
Unless you ride like this guy https://youtu.be/yWHdkK5j4yk
Almost scraped those kids good just after the 30sec mark
Yea that is a shitty biker, not a good one.
meh, still less dangerous than a car
not gonna deny the riding style is quite douchey, but compared to cars, this is just meh. and it seems like half of the manoeuvres he does are in response to shitty driving in the first place.
running reds like that without visibility, though, and weaving pedestrians like that… fuck that shit.
Half the manoeuvres he does, like riding through every red light, cutting off pedestrians on crosswalks, riding on the sidewalk, forcing cars to break suddenly, ….?
no that would be the other half
stg sometimes I feel like lots of people here have the reading comprehension of the avg redditor
A friend of mine worked as a bike courier and constantly had to deal with drivers trying to run him off the road. He eventually got hit, and broke his leg. It all sounded pretty miserable, but this was also before e-bikes so maybe it’s easier now.
Hmm … Bike Courier sounds more like an ideal job in a 15 minute walkable city. In most parts of the US, not so much.
Don’t forget, as a very squishy bike messenger weaving through endless cars driven by homocidal toddlers, that the ceramic in spark plugs goes right through auto glass, and they’re certainly not something such a messenger would carry on their pocket —much like how U-locks are totally not hammers, just waiting silently from their arms-reach holster to defend you. 🫡

I’ve tried that and been entirely unsuccessful at it. Bounced right off with no damage whatsoever, even when hurled from very close as hard and as fast as I could.
It’s just too small and too light to actually break anything.
Wow, that’s crazy. I wonder what number to call about those jobs. Just idle curiosity.
keywords like “Bike,” “EBiker,” “Cycler,” or “Delivery Associate.”
The Ebike is only used in dense urban areas.
Be advised, amazon’s reputation is horrible. They really brutalize their employees.
Not only brutalize, but also leave their employees dead in warehouses and force other employees to work around the body.
Fuuuuuuuuuck Amazon. There was another article mixed into this horror story with another horror story where “every day people” can invest in real estate. Basically, everyday people are paying for Amazon to buy out all of the extra real estate and price fix “the everyday people” out of living in great cities. Again, fuuuuuuuuuuuuuck Amazon.
What do the everyday investors get out of that then?
Funny how in one Lemmy post everyone is complaining that people get burned for life in the job market for making a mistake. Or how employers are evil for mandatory drug testing… And in the next one they get riled up because a company would dare hire a recovering alcoholic to ride a bike
I think it has a lot to do with whether you are helping them to rebuild their life, or exploiting their desperation.
Would not hiring them help
“Help” would entail treating them as equal, not paying them a fraction of worth just because they cant find work anywhere else.
Paying a living wage and providing social security for workers would help more. Two wrongs don’t make a right.
