In the huge warehouse in the United States dealing with items of Amazon.com, we strictly monitor our employees and are severely punished if an act of stealing goods is found. Employees working in Amazon warehouses read daily reports sent from Amazon every day while completing the prescribed procedures before the start of working hours, among which are the days when they "dismissed because their colleague stole the item It is said that a dismissal report saying "It was done" was posted.

Bloomberg BusinessAccording to the report, one Amazon warehouse occasionally displays "stealing and spotting cases" suspected of being committed by current and past employees, by placing a large display. To warn that the disposal is pending because there is no clear evidence, but by warning that it is grasping the case itself, not only those who worked for stealing, but also put pressure on employees who might work stealing It is testified by a person working at Amazon warehouse. Nevertheless, the employees of the company said that they are alleged to steal allegations of stealing on the display, as stated as simply being aware of what is being monitored, that they want to complain about the display. He seems to believe that it is not much of a concern as compared with the problem that his duty to salary is severe.


It can also be read from the past case that Amazon is trying to stop it with extraordinary enthusiasm for employees' stealing. For example, when a fire alarm rang at an Amazon warehouse in Pennsylvania in 2010, employees who evacuated outside the warehouse were told to wait hours outdoors in the winter, despite midwinter. Employees who were dressed in the summer, due to the harsh mission in the warehouse, T-shirts or shorts, are not allowed to enter the private cars used for commuting, but under the cold air of midwinter I heard he was waiting so long as I could get it. An employee about the event at this time said that "Amazon warned that stealing is going to be done by multiplying the situation where the fire alarm is ringing."

Although it is Amazon that delivers goods cheaply and quickly using high-tech, the profit per item is small, so even if it is not expensive items that are never expensive, stolen by employees can be "painful" damage I will. As a result, Amazon continues to monitor employees making full use of high-tech, but it is also pointed out that the cost of anti-theft measures may exceed the amount actually suffered from theft. Nevertheless, Amazon does not disclose damage caused by theft of employees, so details are unknown.

"Amazon's anti-theft messages that are always aware of things you do not know when you can get into trouble are trying to influence the" mid-group "that has the potential to be stolen," said Pat Murphy, security consulting firm LPT. "We evaluate Amazon's measures as an action after studying human psychology well. At present it is common practice to prevent employee's criminal acts such as posting a slogan slogan at a workplace or resting place or constructing a system that can be accused anonymously, but once in the 1980's it flowed into the store To musicSubliminal effectAs an example of a retail shop that dislikes shoplifting prevention messages aimed at, the technology of crime prevention is also evolving with the times. Mr. Murphy expects that in the Amazon warehouse all technologies intended for theft prevention will be tried unless it violates the law.
