YO

U.S. Amazon employee here!!!

Do not buy into that bullshit about us getting a “raise”. It’s not a raise. Not when workers who have been there 2+ years who made $13 when they started and now make $14 are only getting that $15 like every other new employee is. We should be getting payed $16 but we aren’t.

They already took away our ability to earn payed days off. Yup that’s right. Thru points earned thru productivity we could earn a payed day off if we had a certain amount of points.

Now they take away our monthly bonuses too that we earned thru attendance and productivity.

AND they took away our stocks because of this so-called “raise”.

All they did was move the money elsewhere. Actually, I haven’t done the calculations yet but I bet we LOST money from our pay.

That “raise” is bullshit. Fuck Jeff Bezos and fuck Amazon.

yeah from news reporting and other knowledge it is indeed an overall loss in compensation

they literally figured out a way to pay people less and also get bernie off their backs about it

Funny, my brother works for Amazon – he did the math and it’s actually better, especially since now people don’t have to wait for stocks to mature so they can sell and get their money. They’re just getting the money out right. Also, his wages, which were already higher than the 15 an hour, are going up in corresponding fashion.
