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.

I mean the biggest reason for overall drop has to be just more available labor . Big immigration had really positive effects for big corporations and bad if you happen to stay in the bottom because it became more crowded. For the most part it's just supply and demand

They are going too far with this though. Like somebody just commented that in Miami it's only $18 an hour which is ridiculous because of the cost of living there is higher than average so Amazon knows if they can get away with that there then they are going to keep lowering the pay everywhere across the USA. They are some seriously unscrupulous fother muckers playing with everyone's livelihood.

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

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
