Urban Outfitters has asked salaried workers at the company’s home office to “volunteer” for extra weekend shifts at a new fulfillment center. In an email, the company asked for weekend workers to “pick, pack and prepare packages for shipment.”. . .
We had this kind of thing back in the USSR all the time! It was considered volunteering, just like at Urban Outfitters, but in reality people didn’t have a choice.
It is fascinating how easily all huge companies slip into the Soviet model of huge, unwieldy, dehumanized, and totalitarian exploiters.
