Sounds like the start of some distopian movie. At this point I wouldn't be surprised if they start paying their workers in amazon currency that they can only spend in the amazon shop and grocery.
Umm, that’s China.
A new Amazon facility is opening in Pasco, WA where we live. But if they burn through workers this fast, who will they hire in a couple years? There won’t be an available workforce who hasn’t already worked for them and been fired/quit very soon.
Walmart is way better than mom and pop shops though.
Amazon is making America poorer very quickly….There won't be any time left for strikes….when can we start calling this an economic issue of national defense?
The notion give a new feeling to 16 Tons’ “I owe my soul to the company store”.
Where are the existing unions? Why aren't they lobbying against Amazon?
boycott Amazon
sounds like an apple factory in china
Try to get average Americans to stop shopping there though. This is why the problem is not just the rich. It’s all of us who are unconscious and sleepwalking thru life making decision that have terrible consequences & not stopping to think about those impacts enough. We’re all (most of us) being part of the problem in significant ways.
So… the 19th Century company towns are making a comeback then? I guess we're going backwards.. is this what libertarians wanted right? Corporate towns?So when will they start issuing scrips?
what has Amazon/Walmart done for you and your family
Sold my soul to the company store
The bigger Amazon gets the worse this country is. You already saw what Walmart did and still does to employees and no politician helps. To me it's simple. I DONT BUY AMAZON.
USA: the land of opportunity….to work for Walmart or Amazon
It's ironic how two of the most woke companies that virtue signal and want to promote socialist ideas are anti-union. Rules for thee, but not for me……
Walmart looked at their turnover in, I think, 1999, and realized at the pace they were burning through people that by 2020, everyone in the US would have worked there. That's when they started taking better care of their employees..Eventually, Amazon will come to that realization. Amazon's policies are a reflection of Bezos narcissism, and Asperger's syndrome.
Stop using Amazon. Lol
It's possible, and the more everyone uses it, the less possible it becomes.
Workin for the company store
If you have a problem with Amazon town please consult your nearest suicide booth err triggered safe spaces.
Corporate feudalism here we come
Walmart is making the majority of their workforce full-time by early 2022. They are realizing they are losing good people and a good workforce. Part time people are always looking for something better. Also making anyone who works 30 hours or more eligible for medical insurance. Maybe walmart actually changes and swings back in the right direction?
Don't buy from Amazon. Duh!
keep the population destitute and desperate and they will accept anything – including low paying jobs and being treated like chattel. that's capitalism baby…
Amazon is a big part of the worker shortage. If you have an Amazon in the area, most working class people work there instead of retail or service.
I'm starting to think South Park can predict the future
The Amazon part is not true. I work as a contractor in n their warehouses. I’ve had hard jobs. That is not even on my top 5. I would actually say they treat their associates very well. I do not work for them. I see it from the other side. The employees are generally great people who are happy to have a good paying jobs. UPS pushes their people WAY harder.
So why complain about Amazon weekly but also still purchase from there ?
So porngirls?
