A message to the entitled, stupid fools at Amazon - Pay your employees more to stay.

The fact that there are books there scares the looters away ! They might in their haste steal a book ! Then what would they do ?

Are all small business guaranteed to give $5 of that $10 to a democrat campaign to ensure you are labeled the enemy of state after they get that democrat “elected” into office?

There are hidden costs to everything. Time you wake up to the real cost of the transaction you described.

I purchased my first wearable pee bottle from Amazon. “Peon the Go,” it’s called.

Will a small business deliver a $10 item to my house in 2 days? Free shipping of course.

This is why Amazon cannot survive selling products. Without AWS, they would be out of business.

You have to meet Amazon’s fitness requirements just to climb the fence.

Is that from “Metropolis”? looks vaguely familiar.

[ASOC]

Oddly, I agree. It would be the smartest thing they could do.

Then I would try and get a job fixing robots....

I find that some of the most Woke activist companies are also the ones who have some serious ethical/moral problems. They dial up their Woke-ness to deflect or cover up their egregious activities.

[dfwgator]

BINGO!

[Secret Agent Man]

There’s work

And then there’s indentured servant type conditions.

Crap like this is how revolutions start.

Yep Amazon sucks. I know someone who used to work there. Amazon would work you like a dog. It’s fine if you’re a young kid out of high school or college but it’s not sustainable in the long term.

Yet they keep building warehouses...

Sounds like H1B visa time.

[rb22982]

Yes, but in this case they are likely correct.

Sounds like H1B visa time.

Bite your tongue.

Remember when Jeff Bozo said he couldn’t afford health insurance for his part-time workers?

The richest person in the history of the human race, can’t afford health insurance?

[Bubba Ho-Tep]

Yes, it is an easy problem to fix. Raise the wage a bit, hire a few more people so they can ease the quota a bit and generally treat the employees like people.

In 1914, the Ford Motor Company was having a terrible problem. The new "assembly line" was a grind and workers were quitting in droves after a few weeks or months on the line , most of them taking their training and going to Ford's competitors around Detroit, where the conditions weren't so onerous.

Ford's response, raising their wage to $5 a day, is usually seen today as a brilliant stroke of benevolence and economic foresight, allowing his workers to buy the cars they built. But the truth is that it was purely an attempt to retain workers and everything else was PR spin. (The spin also went to Henry Ford's head, convincing him that he was the savior of the average American worker, but that's a longer story.)

Much management is literally done by AI.

Days off, shift changes, raises... Yada Yada never passes in front of human eyes.
