A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.

*Andy Jassy gets 30% pay bump financed with the wages of 30k laid off workers.

FTFY

PS: If it were legal, I'd advocate for someone firebombing his house, but it's illegal so I strongly advocate against someone firebombing his house.

And why wasn't it an Amazon warehouse that was torched I would expect them to have worse pay and conditions than the Canadian one?

amazon actually pays decent for its worker accumulates pto faster than WF chain they own now, but a warehouse job is really brutal in any job. very easy to get injured through repetition wear and tear, and you have metric and watched like a hawk by the managers there. i know someone that worked at the smaller ones.

the hours are brutal thats why theres high turnover.
