Why dont they quit?
pdbravo
It's too complicated for 140 chrs, but the game is stacked in such a way that they work there, leave it at that.

So... raise prices?

Ummmm...

The thing is...

Note the two years between articles. Sounds like there may still be issues, but things may have changed in two years. eg, He doubled his $$.

These people were not tricked into working this job. They were hired at a pay rate they agreed to.
Woffenhorst
So you mean the wage is determined by who is the most desperate? Free market at its best.
TheFenn
If you want to work a warehousing job, there are plenty that are less demanding and pay better than what I hear amazon is like
EndlessTrash
Some people have to take any job they can get. Go work for amazon, they make you feel that you are a expendable resource.

Bezos is such a cock gobbler. So unlikeable

On the one hand yeah that's fucked. On the other, like...nobody forced them to work there.
Subsound
I know, it's like people have a desire to eat and live indoors. It is so weird.
GNiko
Is it trickling down yet?
Subsound
Yep, we're all getting golden showers
Woffenhorst
Oh look, he just ordered a bigger glass.
terriblyinappropriatethoughts
He got free delivery on it, too, with Prime!

Excuse you commie! He pays thousands of dollars to hire and pay millions of workers all whom take part in the economy by paying rent and ---
ratfinkfuck
buying groceries, allowing the owners of those corporations to pay their workers, enabling them to buy more plastic indulgence on Amazon
ratfinkfuck
So there!

No one needs that much money.
SuchRelevantMuchRelate
you do if you want sharks with freaking laser beams
shortarms
Agreed.
Woffenhorst
But how much of that is "real" money and how much is imaginary stock-market-money?
SexualChocolates
I mean shares of Amazon are pretty liquid, so he could sell it all today and have that much sitting in an account
BenderBendingRrrrrrodriguez
Once he sells a large enough percentage, the rest will drop in value.
PrincessLeliana
it doesn't matter how much is "real". Even if he only owned half a percent of that he would be rich enough to live like a king till death
ab47203
It does matter because stock market money means giving it or using it becomes a board decision
Revnis
Could probably buy a country and actually be a king just saying.
Woffenhorst
True. Most people can't grasp the concept of how much money even 1 Billion is. 200k/yr for 5000 years even with no compound interest.
PrincessLeliana
a million dollars is enough money for 50k/yr for 20 years. 4 mill is enough for a work free and comfortable life for a person. 4 mill is
PrincessLeliana
literally more than anyone would ever need to live on, not even including the interest you'd get. Jeff has 38000 times that much money
PrincessLeliana
That should put into perspective how much "fuck off" money that guys has
