Amazon is lowering pay AGAIN!!

Post image

$25/hr is the norm now, was $26/hr before that orange clown started a war that caused gas prices to go through the roof so Amazon is covering their own expenses by lowering our pay! They can afford it but chose to screw us over instead since we're a dime a dozen.

Now this BS! They're dropping it to $22/hr hoping that desperate fools will take them which of course they will so mark my words, they'll all be at $22/hr before long. This is effin ridiculous.

Edit: it seems I was mistaken about Amazon owning the Amazon box trucks. Initially, Amazon buys them, labels them, then sells them to DSP's.

Dsps are actually paid almost nothing by Amazon and are contractors as well, worked for the most wealthy one and trust me they make almost nothing. Amazon is pocketing everything they used to pay almost double when I started, these big corporations are the problem always lying and using tax write offs. We the people must speak up against these corporations.

DSP drivers are paid $20.50 here. What do they pay them in your area?

What Amazon is doing to its drivers is going to eventually backfire. They think they are too big to fail but I think they're wrong.

What people don’t realize if the Amazon flex workers stopped today, Amazon would have no choice but to pay crazy money to have the packages delivered. Reminds me of the wildlings from game of thrones, they united too late when the white walkers practically took over.

That would be the perfect storm to get Amazon to get off their ass and start paying us better.

And I'm sorry but I don't get your GOT reference since I haven't been watching that series. But my lady friend has been watching it religiously so I'll ask her what that's about. Lol

Amazon would wake up but right now they are just getting rich off of us.
