    The same thing as layoffs and downsizing but you only lose the people who are really good at what they do and can get jobs easily elsewhere. What a brilliant idea.

    Amazon had never given a shit about their corporate workers. They barely treat them better than the warehouse side. Don’t get cancer or they’ll put you in performance review. They have a planned turnover rate as well.

    This is just them doing layoffs without regulatory oversight or severance.

    I hope they’re providing a preprinted label and free return shipping.

    They should be grateful that they’re not wage slaves in a distribution center, and get to pee in a toilet instead of a bottle.

    Edit: /s

      pitting working classes against each other is not going to accomplish anything.

        That’s not what I was trying to do. Apparently the sarcasm wasn’t obvious enough.

          You need to add an /s because there are some people who say that unironically

    Amazon, you take orders. You don’t give them.

A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.

Our Philosophies:

  • All workers must be paid a living wage for their labor.
  • Income inequality is the main cause of lower living standards.
  • Workers must join together and fight back for what is rightfully theirs.
  • We must not be divided and conquered. Workers gain the most when they focus on unifying issues.

Our Goals

  • Higher wages for underpaid workers.
  • Better worker representation, including but not limited to unions.
  • Better and fewer working hours.
  • Stimulating a massive wave of worker organizing in the United States and beyond.
  • Organizing and supporting political causes and campaigns that put workers first.
