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.

The same thing as layoffs and downsizing but you only lose the people who are really good at what they do and can get jobs easily elsewhere. What a brilliant idea.

This is known as the "Dead Sea Effect"

Amazon had never given a shit about their corporate workers. They barely treat them better than the warehouse side. Don't get cancer or they'll put you in performance review. They have a planned turnover rate as well.

This is just them doing layoffs without regulatory oversight or severance.

They should be grateful that they’re not wage slaves in a distribution center, and get to pee in a toilet instead of a bottle.

Edit: /s

pitting working classes against each other is not going to accomplish anything.

That’s not what I was trying to do. Apparently the sarcasm wasn’t obvious enough.

You need to add an /s because there are some people who say that unironically

Looks like it. Thanks!

I hope they’re providing a preprinted label and free return shipping.

Amazon, you take orders. You don't give them.

sure would be a shame if somebody turned on the fire sprinklers.

Or if the sprinklers weren't enough. Jussayin'.

In Minecraft, I mean.
