Amazon asked corporate employees to help fulfill grocery deliveries for Prime Day

Amazon has asked its white collar employees to help fulfill grocery deliveries for Prime Day, according to The Guardian.

The volunteers are "needed" to pick items for grocery orders from Amazon's Fresh warehouse in Red Hook, Brooklyn. New York is one of Amazon's busiest locations, and the company most likely expects an increase in grocery orders this week, since it offers Fresh discounts for Prime Day. "This support is entirely optional, and it allows corporate employees to get closer to customers while enabling our store teams to focus on the work that’s most impactful," Buch explained.
