Some workers got a good deal I’m sure, especially part-timers and lower volume facilities. But those of us who never miss work without using vacation or PTO, were looking forward to stocks vesting, and already were making $15/hr or close to it (some entry level shifts in my facility already started at $17-18 and the…

Ah, OK. I’ve used Paypal for business for 18 years and also use it for “send money to a friend” with $0 fee (since I can use my balance and always have one). So I never really needed an alternative. Plus I don’t do many shared expense social activities. 

Normal Amazon employees always got RSUs, which aren’t really options and certainly have a list of cons to go along with them, but were part of the initial job offer compensation package and part of the “total compensation” that was touted at every meeting they’ve ever had. When you get hired you get a Morgan Stanley…

At least the Amazon robots malfunction constantly, so I expect them to continue to have some low-wage humans to be on call to fix the robots. When they obsess over things like the cost of tape and use technology from last decade on everything else, I really wonder how fast they will be at bringing in the latest in…

I think they’ve been pretty positive about this compared to other reporting on amazon, especially when this is resulting in pay cuts for Christmas.

To clarify: These are actual changes that have happened and been communicated (for my job at an Amazon FC). I got the bonus every month since I’ve been employed and I have a Morgan Stanley account with unvested shares sitting in it. So eliminating the monthly bonus that has been 50% guaranteed just for showing up in…

Gizmodo censors me because I actually work at Amazon and I called them out when they lied/exaggerated about how bad some Amazon policies were before this week and now they lie/exaggerate about how GOOD Amazon is this week.

I work in an Amazon warehouse and just got a pay cut in time for the holidays. The stock RSUs and monthly bonus they cut were a lot more than the raise. Half of our monthly bonus was based on attendance, and it was doubled for Oct/Nov/Dec. So (as they sold it for years) you got a minimum 8% bonus for “showing up.” We…

I’m 40 and don’t even know what Venmo is. Is that like a cooler Paypal the kids use these days?

Monsters. What’s next? Are you going to tell me they shop at Amazon? Or buy Nikes made in sweatshops? 

“Pummeled emotionally—and ready to fuck.” Then she made a joke about “men jerking off and crying.”

Looks like he has a high amount of that bad fat that is inside around the organs.

Maybe he can use a modified version of the Kavanaugh defense about how he had never had sex with a woman and still hasn’t for many years after.

“Instead of protesting why don’t you...”is all bullshit because the people saying that don’t actually want anything good to happen. They don’t want anyone to know their rights. They want everyone to sit down, shut up, and lick boots.

What does Charlie Rangel have to do with it? If he’s legit saying “rangel” instead of “wrangle” he should be fired for that alone. Just as these school employee people need to be fired for stupidity let alone racism when they say stupid things.

I’m sure you have access to a lot better food than tiny burgers with a 12 to 1 bread to meat ratio.

I know Common has to be vegan, right? I think it has something to do with Baduizm. Someone check on The D.O.C. and Jay Electronica. All these rappers dated Eryka Badu, for the uninformed. Common was the only one who didn’t conceive a kid, maybe he had some spiritual thing against the release of his seed or something.

Never sick. Never died. Born in 1979.

Didn’t you know that the top 1% alpha males share and pass around ALL of the women? That’s how it works.

And they were well-known at least 27 years ago. Unless I’m missing a specific reference to that song and not just their name.
