The source clarified that this was a typo, and they meant season 3, episode 6. “But at the end of the day, a job is just a job, and I'm a firm believer that if you can't have fun where you are you shouldn't be there.”Ĭorrection: An earlier version of this article stated that the inspiration for the pins was based on Rick and Morty season 2, episode 6. “Amazon can be a great place to work, or it could be less than appealing depending on a person's perspective,” the worker who made the pin said. Motherboard has previously reported on how physically and mentally taxing peak is for Amazon workers, who have to work long days and almost 60-hour weeks. They joked that they had made the pin as a “badge of honor” for surviving the most recent peak season, which spans from mid-November through the end of December. “We plan on launching with clothing that might make your manager roll their eyes, but not bad enough to get you fired,” they said. The worker said they plan to launch a more official company for Amazon merch soon.

Everyone that sees them wants one,” the worker who made the Rick and Morty pin said.Īn Amazon spokesperson confirmed that the Rick and Morty pin is not official site merch, and that workers can wear Peccy pins around the warehouse as long as they abide by the dress code and don’t pose any safety risks. “Honestly, this is my first venture into the pins, but they have been well received. Some other Peccy pins are sold on eBay, and workers sometimes make a point of collecting them. Pins are usually given out to commemorate some kind of holiday event or milestone for the warehouse, and Peccy is dressed up in some relevant fashion in each one.

In fact, management at Amazon warehouse sites often give out Peccy pins as a form of workplace swag, like how corporate offices give out pens and coffee mugs. Peccy is the perfect shade of Amazon orange, and even has the company’s famous smirking arrow logo as a mouth.

The choice to use a nondescript orange blob as the basis for the characters’ recreations might seem strange to non-Amazon workers, but people in the warehouses recognize it as Peccy, Amazon’s unassuming warehouse mascot. The pin's eBay description reads: “Are you a Rick and Morty fan? Do you work at Amazon? Do you feel like the beginning of Season 2 Episode 6 every day you walk out the door? Then this is the pin to let everyone know you made it through peak!” The worker clarified that “Season 2” instead of 3 was a typo. I looked at him and said, ‘I have just the thing to put tonight into perspective.’ We watched the beginning of that episode, and just started cracking up.” “That morning, a friend and I had dragged ourselves back to my car and just kind of sat there staring into the distance. “We had an incredibly busy night, some machine issues, and it was the start of peak,” the Amazon worker who made the pin told Motherboard.
