TFW you forgot to unionize

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.

This is known as the "Dead Sea Effect"

At least they get two days a week to work from home!

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.

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

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.

[–] magnetosphere@fedia.io 9 points 4 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] magnetosphere@fedia.io 5 points 3 months ago

Looks like it. Thanks!

sure would be a shame if somebody turned on the fire sprinklers.

Or if the sprinklers weren't enough. Jussayin'.

In Minecraft, I mean.
