Some of Amazon's contracted delivery companies have been telling drivers to switch off its safety app, Vice reported.
The app, called Mentor, monitors their driving and assigns a safety score that ties into bonuses.
Drivers said they're being told to turn it off because driving safely doesn't square with their quotas.
Amazon drivers are being told to turn off a mandatory safety app in order to hit their quotas, according to a new report from Vice.
Vice obtained texts sent to drivers by Delivery Service Partners (DSPs) — companies which are contracted by Amazon to carry out its delivery operations. The texts told drivers to switch off the app Amazon uses to monitor safety, called "Mentor."
