Think about it, they have to give us the same sh*t benefits as the warehouse workers for PR reasons. When execs are questioned about the warehouse practices they respond with oh they have the same benefits as our tech employees do. Amazon can't give facebook or google level perks without bogus media firestorm. but if AWS is spun off then maybe it's a different ball game. What do you think? #amazon #aws

    AWS pays all the Amazon bills. Never happening, sorry.

      You can see from our financials that other parts of the business make money, just AWS is very profitable which makes Amazon as a whole a lot more profitable. Also all of Amazon is built on AWS so we’re AWS biggest customer. We get access to AWS for “cheap” and they get a customer who will work with them to create new features they can then sell to other people.

  • Wait for Elizabeth Warren or Bernie Sanders to be the president to make this happen.

      I was just agreeing to the point testcrm made. While I am not a fan of either of those, my party of Lincoln has moved on. Now the question really is how can we slow down the infection. Democratically (small d, democratic) we are screwed whether we swing left or right.

      Microsoft making no sense. It is not about elitism. I don’t go and apply to be warehouse worker so my expectation is higher on benefits side. When I worked at amazon the only thing in cafeteria was brewed coffee and water. My expectation is average tech company benefits at the very least. I support split 100%

    Other than 401k our benefits are pretty decent. And 401k cannot be better because of the non discrimination requirements for highly compensated employees.
    Which I still think is stupid, but it's hardly a media stunt.

      Come in there is nothing in the kitchen. The insurance is shitty and employee pays ridiculous amount. The only thing is cash bonus which go extinct in year 3
