Amazon's hourly workers lose monthly bonuses and stock awards as minimum wage increases

If it’s not sustainable to pay everyone a living wage under capitalism, then maybe it’s capitalism that’s not sustainable.

Amazon warehouse workers are no longer eligible to receive monthly bonuses and stock awards.
Amazon made the change as it announced a minimum-wage increase on Tuesday.
The change could make some longtime workers to make less money, according to The Guardian.

Did those bonuses, and stock options amount to anything significant for the warehouse workers?

got a good laugh seeing those frauds Sanders and the TYT libs patting each other on the back for their accomplishment of pushing amazon and disney
and their only excuse is "woops, guess we were wrong"
fucking libs

How did the stocks respond to Amazon increasing the minimum wage?

This is what happens when real gains are expected to be made from exploiting a contemporary corporation's self interested drive to maintain positive public perception without having a strong foundation of organized labor that can materially affect the ability of that corporation to make a profit. Corporate skullduggery should be expected. Particularly in a situation when the oppositions only tools seem to be relying on benevolent politicians, op-eds, protests, and social media shaming.

And this board got excited about this retard?

Sad.

It's almost like raising wages based on political pressure from a mouthbreathing, senile politician instead of raising wages based on gains in production and market demand of workers has consequences? Who knew!

even worsen

Nope, I intend on moving to Mexico,or South America where the potential for socialist revolution is much greater. While your wage slaving to make profits for your masters until you're shit canned for a machine, ill be living in a comfy commune fucking latinas every night, enjoying my hobbies, and various intellectual pursuits with my comrades. Enjoy your sinking ship, you fucking moron.

No, but the narrative pushed by him is helpful to us, he shouldnt praise them any more.

There is no concievable way that someone could possibly be this fucking delusional without literally intentionally ramming their head up their asses too far to ever look at the world and question if praxeology is anything more than the insane ramblings of a senile psychopath. Ancaps need to be fucking butchered.

Good take

Got any other rare Doomers?

I believe they got the option of 1 share of amazon a year (I dont know what the other option was), so roughly an extra 962.50-2050.50 looking at 52-week low/highs.


They dropped, but so is everything else.

P-please take me with you, a-user

X—DDDDD

FUCKING SUCDEMS
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Amazon could easily pay a living wage. They don't because they don't have to. Companies punish workers for wage increases because rightcucks actually believe it's necessary for them to function.

And now?
The normalfags made their bed, fighting against us, believing their masters. They reap what they sow.

PLEASE stop saying that incentive bonuses ("variable compensation pay" as Amazon calls it) are good things for workers. Christ.

The Amazon change basically raises everyone's compensation or keeps it the same. VCP needed to die.

The bonuses were related to attendance and quota-meeting, and could be up to 16% of a workers pay during some months. Another way to think about this is that not meeting quotas or taking (optional, unpaid) days off resulted in a pay penalty, which this change removed.

honestly what is nightwalk, polite sage for irrelevance

The change actually lessens the speedup enforcement because workers no longer lose a certain percentage of their compensation for failing to meet quotas.

going out for a comfy post-sunset stroll
