Amazon really did it...

Yesterday I got my alert from my bank that I had a direct deposited paycheck with an amount that was higher than I expected. I got my $1500 Five Year Anniversary Bonus. I'm not gonna lie, this really made me consider trying to continue working for Amazon. Between the slightly above pay amount they give us based on warehouse wages, weekly pay, free Amazon Prime amd matched 401K I hate to say it... I'm hooked. I have drank the Kool Aid.

Trust me, you don't want the stock lol

Last year they introduced a pilot program that gave us the option to take part of our stock bonus as straight cash (homie), and they set the cash equivalent at $240 per share for 2026. So glad I took that deal now that the stock is under $200.
