I think most of the wage complaints are about warehouse workers (though they are paid more than anywhere else), but I’ve seen complaints about the corporate culture and treatment of the other workers.

When I scan the headlines for all the Gizmodo verticals, the Root seems to be the one doing the most serious in-depth stories about these and similar issues. Perhaps you confused them with Jezebel.

What should be the starting wage for a warehouse associate? $20? $25/hr? I’m just curious what people think. My observation of local jobs is that the Amazon FC increased wages for similar work, including competitors and temp/seasonal jobs. Anyone can walk off the street and start working in a warehouse here for…

Makes sense, but I think a lot of the jobs they replace are much worse. For the people making $8.15/hr at Wendy’s or $9 (maybe as high as $11 now?) at Walmart or $10-12 for Supervisory level jobs at Target or managing a Gas station or barely above minimum wage at a UNION grocery store, making $15/hr to work 3 or 4…

How much do they pay their regular workers? Above minimum wage is very broad, and there are companies that pay workers double minimum wage for unskilled labor and are regularly attacked by Gizmodo media writers.

This reminds me of a guy who insisted his family needed 2 large SUVs because they had 2 kids. Neither he or his wife worked outside the home and they’ve had multiple evictions, foreclosures, and repos, too. OR those people who claim having kids means you need a van. Weirdos. I have 2 kids and usually a wife, and we…

If he were that well-to-do he wouldn’t have property that could be accessed from public street parking.

I’m pretty sure my wife used his head to scrub a dirty saucepan last night.

I think The Wonder Years had dropped in the ratings and had run its course. It was my favorite show in 1988. By 1991-1992 I barely saw it and I don’t think the shift in focus away from the family towards Kevin’s friends and dating adventures appealed as much to audiences.

Was it creepy because a gay teen was allowed to exist?

When I was 16 I definitely said some dumb shit to attractive older co-workers. In retrospect it was stupid but I don’t think anyone took it seriously.

I don’t think an 18 year-old (or 19, which I’ve read from other sources) was born in the aughts. Well, I guess if she JUST turned 18 in the last 4 weeks. Which, yeah...

You can’t cherry pick and treat them like employees in some aspects and independent contractors in others, just to suit what works for you. A contractor is supposed to be a business working for a client, not an employee. The client does not micromanage working time or dictate when and how work is produced... or that’s…

Sounds a lot more appealing and relevant to my interests than any other Tinder.

Does Jessica Chastain actually have any box office hits she headlined? I can’t think of any. I know she has critical appeal - but I can name a half dozen black actresses as acclaimed.

Sounds like these are the people who need advocates, not the well-compensated Amazon warehouse workers.

This is interesting because I just found out today that he went to my local university (and first school I attended though it was about a decade before him). It was a story in the local “paper” and I came across is via Twitter email. The story did not mention any incidents, just that he was on the team 3 years and…

Well, women don’t need men. So I guess, men don’t need women. I would say that eventually the species will die off but more likely there will be a lot of breeding by men and women with zero standards (or birth control), and that’s a horrifying future.

He didn’t worship Hillary Clinton’s pantsuits.

I don’t know how credible she seems now but I don’t think the initial accusations seemed legit. it was alleged that Mia was a good coach, and one thing not in dispute is that Mia is/was a child abuser herself and at least a little nuts.
