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.
A dollar raise is gonna met you an extra maybe $2000-$3000 a year. But those monthly bonuses are probably gonna amount to significantly more. God damn amazon.
