‘Guess who got written up?’: Warehouse manager forbids employees from double-checking shipments, causing major money loss when workers ship wrong items to customers

Have you ever ordered something you really wanted from Amazon, patiently waited for it to arrive, opened the door to the delivery person with the widest grin on your face, excitedly opened the package… only to discover that what arrived was not what you ordered at all?
