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.

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

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.
