'Stressed' Amazon Driver Dumps 80 Packages In Massachusetts Woods Amid Christmas Holiday Rush
Amid the bustling holiday season, an Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN) driver left 80 packages in a wooded area in Lakeville, Massachusetts. This incident occurred because the company faced intense pressure to meet delivery demands.
在繁忙的假日季節,亞馬遜(納斯達克:AMZN)的一名快遞員在馬薩諸塞州的湖維爾將80個包裹留在了一個林區。這一事件的發生是因爲公司面臨着巨大的交付壓力。
What Happened: A stressed Amazon driver abandoned 80 packages in a wooded area near Lakeville, Massachusetts, just days before Christmas. A Lakeville police sergeant discovered the packages during a routine patrol early Sunday morning, finding them scattered in three large totes near 63 Bedford Street, NBC News reported on Thursday.
發生了什麼:在聖誕節前幾天,一名受壓的亞馬遜快遞員在馬薩諸塞州湖維爾附近的一個林區拋棄了80個包裹。湖維爾的一名警官在週日早晨的例行巡邏中發現了這些包裹,發現它們在貝德福德街63號附近的三個大箱子裏散落着,NBC資訊週四報道。
The packages were not reported as stolen or missing. The police contacted a nearby Amazon distribution center in Middleborough to facilitate the return of the items. On Monday, the driver confessed to leaving the packages on the roadside Saturday evening "because they were stressed" and intended to inform their manager about the incident.
這些包裹沒有被報告爲被盜或丟失。警方聯繫了附近的亞馬遜配送中心,以幫助物品的歸還。週一,快遞員承認在週六晚上將包裹留在路邊,"因爲他們感到壓力大",並打算告知他們的經理此事件。
Lakeville Police Chief Matthew Perkins stated that no criminal charges would be pursued, considering the matter a human resources issue for Amazon. Chief Perkins praised the officers for handling the situation. The driver's identity remains undisclosed, and the police department has closed the case without further action.
湖維爾警察局長馬修·帕金斯表示,由於此事被視爲亞馬遜的人力資源問題,因此不會追究任何刑事指控。帕金斯局長稱讚那些處理此情況的警官。快遞員的身份仍然沒有透露,警察局已關閉此案件,無需進一步行動。
Amazon has yet to respond to Benzinga's queries.
亞馬遜尚未回覆彭博社的詢問。
Why It Matters: The incident highlights the mounting pressure on Amazon during the holiday season, a critical period for retailers. The fourth quarter, which includes Black Friday, Cyber Monday, and Christmas shopping, can account for up to 40% of annual sales for retailers like Amazon and Walmart Inc. This period is a battleground for retail dominance, with consumers seeking both in-store and online bargains.
這件事的重要性:此事件突顯了假日季節亞馬遜面臨的日益增長的壓力,這對於零售商來說是一個關鍵時期。第四季度,包括黑色星期五、網絡星期一和聖誕購物,可能佔亞馬遜和沃爾瑪等零售商年銷售額的40%。這一時期是零售主導權的競爭戰場,消費者在尋找店內和在線的特價商品。
Additionally, Amazon's operations have been tested by a strike at seven U.S. facilities, part of a broader push for contract negotiations. Despite this, Amazon announced that its operations remain unaffected. The strike has been labeled the "largest" against Amazon by the International Brotherhood of Teamsters.
此外,亞馬遜的運營也遭到在美國七個設施的罷工挑戰,作爲更廣泛的合同談判推動的一部分。儘管如此,亞馬遜宣佈其運營未受影響。這場罷工被國際車隊工會稱爲對亞馬遜的"最大"罷工。
