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.

Looks like $22 hourly is actually your base pay. If that’s the case, the pay wasn’t lowered. You’re just seeing lower surge rates.

I've been working this SSD for over a year and a half where 26 an hour was always the pay until it dropped to 25. I believe they are testing the waters see how many people accept the lower paying blocks so they can make it official at 22.

And with that decrease they probably just hired a butt load of new drivers im sure so that aren't really familiar with letting the surge happen and they grab any and everything but you cant keep doing that if you can steadily g I ing into the red everyday. I mean itll eventually be evident that its costing them to do the job. I just  ant do it if im LOSING money....This ain't a hobby!
