If you want to pay bottom of the barrel wages you’re gonna get employees that are at the bottom. An accident could cause many times a workers annual wage, so they’re trying to go for preventative measures.
I’m honestly surprised they can still find people who want to work for them.
That’s easy to say when it’s someone with our level of opportunities but some people don’t have a whole lot of other options. And it’s not like Door Dash and Uber are any better.

The slow and steady eradication of middle class jobs + the lack of a humane and dignified safety net + the need for food, clothing and shelter. I think very few people want to work as an Amazon warehouse worker or driver, as in make a career of it. It's one of the USA's many Jobs Of Last Resort.
If "singing along" is a leading indicator of being in an accident, then amazon should absolutely not employ drivers that sing along. People get injured or killed in accidents, we dont need to observe them if we have sufficently strong signals that show risk (IE: driving at 100mph, driving while drunk, etc). What I don't understand is if you tell drivers "dont sing along" does that negate the predictive value of "singining along" as a signal for propensity to be involved in an accident.
They should drop all the restrictions on 'distracting' activity and just fire poor drivers rather than trying to make poor drivers into good ones.
