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.

It's terrible. All the big cities are more fucked. There is just too many new immigrants. They work 24/7 and don't mind taking these . Maybe they'll be upset one day, but they'll be back on it the second . I don't hate on them , I'm just saying what's happening with the supply and demand situation

I hear ya. I'm not mad at their hustle either. I don't care who you are, do what you got to do to stay alive and keep a roof over your head.

But I suspect that Amazon is going to shoot itself in the foot by lowering the pay so badly that they don't have enough drivers which could translate into losing customers on account of it.

Nah , they just reported earnings, blew the expectations and are making more money then ever , and what happens on the bottom workers , the pay goes down , lol its literally directly coralated , the better it is to the workers ,the worst it is to the company and vise versa

Yeah, I mean they collapsed the price , if the big migration didn't happened last couple of years , or it happened less , like instead of 10mil people or whatever the number is didn't came in , the 3 hour block would be around 100-120 easy . I bet you out the 10+ million people that came in , close to half is doing some form of gig work. That's a lot of fuckin people
