What It’s Like To Live In An RV And Work For Amazon During The Holidays
Every holiday season since 2008, Amazon has hired hundreds of nomadic workers for temporary warehouse jobs. The CamperForce program is a small portion of this year’s 150,000 seasonal hires, but it gained notoriety in the 2020 movie “Nomadland.” This year, it’s seen its biggest growth yet, doubling to 26 sites in 14 states. Despite the growth, Amazon has shifted away from arranging workers’ campgrounds and paying for them directly. Here’s what it’s really like to live in an RV and work for Amazon during the holidays.

Rv are not meant to be lived in like that, it’s disgusting and when they break down it’s expensive
Homeless folks supporting the richest man in the world.
America needs ieducated immigrants to run the economy. Local Americans seem to be good as delivery boys and girls.
Whats the minimum wage in U.S?
They all look obese including the kids, obesity itself is a pandemic
Since my second block for Amazon Flex, I know how much they are benefits from their workers. I tried my best to not order anything from them or if I did I try to pick the best weather for them. It's not fun at all.
Are really appreciate for all your help and support for building back my family dr ademola spell caster
I love that they care about their kids mental health. So wholesome.
15*40+120=18*40
Why do people need a high school diploma or equivalent to pack boxes and do groceries for others?
Uh… where's my video… I lived in a car and worked Uber, Doordash, and GrubHub….Oh wait that was before 2020… This is more normal than being homeless with I job…. because this is America…. LOL. I wish I had a trailer or RV I wouldn't be miss treated as much… LOL
You asked, are you valued as employees? There was a man who was not allowed to stop working during a storm and the building collapsed and he died and Amazon tweeted about it and the next day they had someone to do his job…. they do not give a damn about you
We live in some wild times
Wait a minute. So you're telling me they started out a program to attract people and each year they loosen the benefits to keep paying you less and less… no way? Even though that sounds like every company from Uber to postmates (now uber) to door dash to every other behemoth company
But it isn't a temp job when someone is driving across the country to live there for many months to work, this is Ludacris
Yeah I don't like this, this is way for them to hire people and not pay livable wages
If Amazon needs workers every holiday shopping season, why don’t they build permanent structures to house workers? Ski resorts manage to have hotels that are only full in the winter.
This is awesome I wish I had a TV but don't drive unfortunately. Wait dose Amazon have remote job's from home?
Those trips in space aren't free ya know. Jeff has to get the money somewhere 😉
Watchdog.
Good money.
