Algorithmic Sabotage: The Hidden War Inside Your Code

Picture this: You’re an Amazon warehouse worker. Your screen tells you to pick 400 items an hour. But a glitch—or is it a feature?—keeps routing you to bins on opposite ends of the facility. Your rate drops. You get a warning. Eventually, you’re fired. Not because you were slow, but because the algorithm was manipulated against you.
