Darkman124 posted...move product at the highest levels. A very good question! I don't know the answer to that. I don't know that Amazon cares about the answer to it, so long as when those workers leave the industry (entirely) they are replaced by others who are similarly capable and only wanting to work for them and not their peers. Really, this is similar to how early-career law works. Young lawyers at top firms have high burnout rates. They take those jobs because they pay insanely well, and they're willing to suffer 18 hour workdays for the money. As they burn out, new ones replace them. Those that make it, make it. I see similar effects in my own workplace, though not quite as extreme. --- And when the hourglass has run out, eternity asks you about only one thing: whether you have lived in despair or not. ...

uwnim posted...FLUFFYGERM posted...but i thought we need high corporate taxes and severe regulations in order to benefit workers No, like most things, what it does depends on how you do it. Something like making the federal minimum wage $15 would cause a lot of issues, while something like raising it to $8 wouldn't. Amazon would be asking for a higher minimum, because it is unlikely that there'd be something that would come close to what they've decided to pay, so attempting to get it raised would just make them look good. And if they are able to get it to something like say 9.50-10 it would possibly raise wages in some of their competitors. --- I want a pet Lavos Spawn. [Order of the Cetaceans: Phocoena dioptrica] ...

I mean, the wage increase is a bit of a stinger to millions of egos working entry level jobs for less money buttttt thinking about this further and how slimy Bezos is, this is more of a damage control tactic to get Bernie Sanders and Congress off his back.
How about better working conditions period, because that's always been the real issue at hand. $15 per worker is fucking nothing to Amazon. --- New York Rangers [2004-2008] https://imgur.com/BLrKxEd https://card.psnprofiles.com/2/Jaromiroquai68.png ... Copied to Clipboard!
