In a leaked pamphlet covering worker “wellness,” Amazon told employees to consider themselves an “industrial athlete” outlining how some employees walking up to 13 miles a day, burning an average of 400 calories an hour. Going on to ask employees to consider changes to their diets, sleep schedules and the apparel they wear like special footwear to meet the demands of their job. Amazon also touched on dehydration highlighting the importance of examining the color of urine throughout the day.
