Poor Andy Jassy. Heβs the real victim (somehow).
Screw jassy. That asshole spearheaded the woke revolution at Amazon after George Floyd. He was all about banning words containing the word black, and pushed for BLM and dismissed those who held opposing points of view. Now he can get a taste of his own medicine for what happens when you indulge the progressive activists.
Meta Product seems like the real asshole. You always want to help better society and life for people. I am surprised you work for Meta. You donβt stand for values, ethics and decency.
Good
So time to sell amazon?
Good for them if that's what they want. I would never join a union personally.
Why so
We already have good working conditions in tech because of the high demand. Unions will decide who gets hired, when you work or don't work (strikes). Just ask public school teachers about their amazing pay and working conditions (sarcasm). 1) Takes away your negotiating power 2) Lowers TC overall 3) Have to pay union fees and compete for union jobs 4) Promo is based on seniority 5) Unions are slow to respond to change, that's really bad in tech and a reason so many union jobs disappeared
f**k, looks like amazon prices are going to πππ Also RIP 2-day delivery
Or they might close the warehouse. No warehouse, no Union.
Unfortunately they made the mistake of building really big warehouses so it would really hurt to close it.
If other warehouses follow suit, it won't be good for Amazon's bottom line.
Is it the right thing for workers?
I'm not sure if it's good for the workers, but it's definitely not good for Amazon, as they fought hard to prevent the unionization.
