I see what you doing Amazon.

Competitors will have to raise their wages at least near 15 and raise prices on goods. Which in turn sends people to Amazon for the cheapest version of the products.

I see... I see

For the tinfoil types: What if amazon is pretty confident their warehouses will be completely automated by around 2030 so they're just doing this now to protect from bad pr rather than some long-term effort to help improve the conditions of their workers?

The same people saying Amazon should pay their workers a living wage are now upset that Amazon is meeting their demands.

:francis:

I can't wait to neg anyone saying warehouse workers should be making almost 6 figures because Amazon has a trillion dollar valuation

It's 98% PR. But is what it is. Most automotive factories here start at $13/hr

I should be okay for now. We still have the application management part of the contract it since it's our ERP system. It's just we are losing the hosting part of it. The guys in the data centers should be worried.
