For having to work on the holiday! Your hard work will allow Jeff's stock price to go up by one fraction of one percent, and for that thank you! Working on MLK makes you the real heroes! Without you grinding on a holiday how could grandma get her socks so quick from a website? Make sure to add an MLK icon to your phone tool to show off your sweet swag! Enjoy your day inside, the rest of us will be on the slopes! #amazon yay
I appreciate the thoughts. You guys do realize that a lot of companies don’t give a day off for MLK day too right? Of course I hope for the day off too, but over the years I realize that I am not so much the exception to have to trudge to work (through snow perhaps) on MLK day.
Sure but it says a lot about the company if they don’t. It’s not random or a normalized thing to do.
most do either MLK or Prez day, Amazon first one I seen that gives neither no snow tho :)
Why sour? Till last year not many tech companies had MLK as official holiday.
Most places don’t have MLK day off.
Someone's salty... I dont think I've ever had MLK day off in my 10+ year career, so Amazon isnt all that different?
Actually I think Amazon was the first company I’ve worked for where I got any paid holidays off. The others just paid extra for holidays. Not saying Amazon was good to work for though. I’m actually at a different company though where people accrue up to 7weeks/yr... not counting holidays. It’s pretty sweet. You start out at 4weeks/yr.
Well OP is in the military.. They get like 90 days "off" when you add up PTO, holidays, sick days, 3/4-day weekends, half-days, org days..
Don't forget to request your "Holiday Hero" Phone Tool icon.
Yes I wish I worked for a company like the US Navy that ensures all its workers have a good work life balance
😂. Good one!! U should add "/s". Very few people here understand sarcasm.
Amazon in CA gives 3 floating holidays (essentially extra PTO) to take whenever you want. I'd prefer that flex day over MLK day.
enjoy sharing your bunk with your seamen mates and thank you for spreading imperialism and starting wars!
ohhhh sad you didnt get the JEDI contract. booohoooo
it’s still in progress, meanwhile DOD can’t move on it. but this is above a seaman’s paygrade so just enjoy your seaman mate for MLK day and be happy :) remember to pick a black one due to MLK day
No one is working you to work there. I’ll quote the president - “you can leave”

Worried that our top performer is an attrition risk. How do managers handle this?

What tier is Snowflake?
Fuck amazon and their slave driving culture.
As far as I know working at Amazon is optional.
All shit jobs are optional until you can only get shit jobs because they're the norm.
