Good. People can wait a few days to get their packages if it means better working conditions.

Well. There go the Black Friday profits.

Gosh darn it!

Why? People can still order at “discounted” prices, their packages will just arrive a little late.
I’m sure actual profits will not suffer too much.

Oh can not wait for Amazon blaming the strike for any and all issues for the next year or so.

I just started delivering for them a few weeks ago and it’s decent pay and easy work. On fact I’m scheduled 4 10 hour days of my choosing and I usually get done in 8 but still get paid for 10 hours. $24/hr.
I don’t know if I just work out of a good location but like 90% of what that video said is bullshit… and our location definitely is not striking.

I never did delivery but I was a packer running 4 10s at 14 an hour and god it was unbelievably unbearable. I constantly had to hold my piss and the job was so boring just standing there in a line, unable to listen to music or even talk to your neighbors most of the time without getting a talking from your manager. Seriously worst job I ever had, if I was still working there damn right I’d be out there striking.
Delivery must be a much nicer department than packing. Also I know for a fact the strikes are real I have a friend in it currently.

You’ve worked there for… a few weeks? And you’re declaring that the reasons for the strike are bullshit? Bless your heart and good luck being exploited.

Dumbass people downvoting because reality doesn’t align with your misguided anger.
At the time of my reply your comment is only 7 minutes old and you have no downvotes. Very weird thing to try to preempt.

If you're viewing from Kbin, you can only see downvotes from other Kbin users. If a user from another instance downvotes it, it will not show up unless you view the post on the original instance.

You should see the account history, lol - it’s pretty much ALL “trust me bro” and anyone who factually calls them out on their shit gets told they’re an idiot, a moron, a “dumb dumb,” etc.
Give it a minute, the “you’re an idiot” replies are incoming . . .

You’re assuming that your reality is the same for everyone.

misguided, counterfeit morally superior anger
you could also say “workers should just be happy with what they have.”
nothing says bitch like…
wait, I thought we were the angry ones

Your personal experience doesn’t matter when people that have much more experience than you and actually understand the differences tell you.
You’re just too stupid to know, Dunning-Kruger effect here.
I can give plenty of examples of people working worse in Amazon. Your one little example is literally meaningless.

About damn time!

ebay’s usps shipping may not be as fast as prime but it’s fast enough for me.
tegs_terry@feddit.uk 11 months ago
Yep, they’re surely not at all scrupulous but I use them all the time now, and indeed I try to buy from specific sites if possible. Amazon is the devil and they’ve had enough of my money.
masquenox@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Fuck Amazon.
Tygr@lemmy.world 11 months ago
If BF has lower volume due to inflation, this will actually result in more profit for Amazon due to reduced wages.

Ok guess my remaining gifts will be late.
NocturnalMorning@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I cannot express how much I love this. Jeff Bezos is an evil piece of dog poo… actually, that is an insult to dog poo.
billwashere@lemmy.world 11 months ago
You can say shit on the internet. It’s allowed 😀
NocturnalMorning@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I did say shit, my statement is about shit. ;)
exussum@lemmy.world 11 months ago
He doesn’t run Amazon anymore.
Alto@kbin.social 11 months ago
Yeah he's only the single largest shareholder, he has absolutely no influence at all
