Amazon started screening videclips in some of its US-based warehouses showing employees represented by silhouettes that are accused of stealing were caught and fired. Experts were surprised by this measure.
Bloomberg said he based his article on interviews with 11 of Amazon's current workers and security staff. One of them called this videos like "offensive": These videos show former colleagues being caught stealing things(or)changing the addresses on packages as they leave the fulfilment centre, and even some of them with the word arrested stamped on the silhouette", reported Cory Johnson. "It's a problem that Amazon is of course very concerned about, but their tactics to try to get people not to steal are reaching new heights".
The news agency said that this horrible clips are shown in flatscreen TVs in the warehouses, which are also used to display information about firings tied to workplace violence, as well as more positive announcements. In warehouses not fitted with screens, the information about sackings are taped to the walls.
Amazon is triying to deploy humans with robots in its warehouses. This robots can move goods about and carry out other simple tasks. They also experimenting with using drones to make deliveries.

PERSONAL COMMENT:
I didn't knew that this happen, but I understand Amazon in the sense that they must use new measures to try to control the stealing in their warehouses. When they start with this method, it's because they have tried with others before that didn't work, so we can't criticize Amazon if we don't know what happens before. If I order a product on this website, I wold like to feel secure.
