Because Jeff Bezos will have to choose between eating and paying rent this month if he pays his workers more or…oh, right. The man can afford to privately send himself into space.

Pay your damn workers.

What this should be, October to December, is the sought after time to pick up work at Amazon because it’s an amazing place to work. But no. Instead, we are here.

Add 20% to the demands. +20 if they balk or engage in any other shenanigans.

If Amazon argues that this is okay, it must be okay inside their facilities too, right?

This sort of this is illegal, not? This should immediately warrant an investigation and whoever signed off on this and whoever opened that thing? Jail them for a year. Or two. That will make sure it won't happen again.

But of course, we jail the poor mother who can't feed her kids for protesting, we don't jail managers
