That cac Jeff Bezos is cold blooded.Amazon to cut health benefits for 2,000 Whole Foods workers.

Breh I understand your sentiment but to be honest, I didn’t even know there was a such thing as companies offering health insurance to part time employees. Health insurance is expensive as fukk and I don’t see how someone working less than 20 hours a week is valuable enough to the company to offer that benefit.

I've never worked at a job that didnt offer health insurance to part time employees. They usually have to pay damn near twice as much as full timers, but the option was always there.

Its more common than u think.

All y’all nikkas gonna keep buying from Amazon. Shut up You didn’t want to support local businesses and brick & mortar stores. Called them obsolete. You wanted everything online, everything cheap and everything fast, quick and convenient. Amazon destroyed everybody and they’re here to stay now. This what you got

Was waiting for someone to mention it.

Automation and e commerce are inevitable and good for society. Shouldn't try to fight it, rather we have to adjust our economic structure as a society to make it work for us.

Yeah, you're correct.

I did a little google research a little while ago and found out it wasn't as uncommon as I thought, mostly with large corporations.

I wouldn't be surprised to see more and more companies cutting the benefit though.

Target, Walmart, Trader Joe's, and Home Depot have all cut the benefit for their part time employees recently.

It's definitely a trend worth keeping an eye on.

Why would those be good for society?

Automation has always been a consistent threat to the current job market going back to the beginning of jobs themselves.

For every skilled laborer, there's 5 business savvy, forward thinkers, working day and night to find ways to maximize production, while simultaneously cutting costs, by automating the job of that skilled laborer.

The key is to always be willing and able to adapt your skill set to meet the current demands of the market, and/or become one of them business savvy, forward thinkers yourself, and you'll be fine.

Just imagine if you still had to go to a shoe cobbler for kicks instead of coping a pair of J's from Foot Locker.

It would be good for society, if we adjusted the economic structure, but that would never happen so as of right now the shyt will destroy the economy.

 

[5n0man]

Very true. Thats a moral opinion tho. Legal opinion says it's not their responsibility to make it affordable. They just have to make it available. Sucks but that's america

Yeah but the only reason legal opinion says that is cause they spend countless amounts of money to make it the law, despite most people being against it.

I remember a coli breh had mentioned that people are not even earning hourly wages.Now they will pay you when based on performance figures.Pack x amount of boxes and receive b amount of dollars.

Not true.

Wages are the same regardless of how many packages you get out, the issue is that the rates you're expected to get those packages out isnt always fair.

For example, you're held accountable for your rate even if the work load being low kept you from making your numbers.

You're expected to pack out 2-3 packages a minute depending on how many items are in each package. The rate is based off item count and not the number of packages you got out, so if someone packs out one order that has 30 items, their rate will be better than someone who packs 10 orders with 1 or two items each.

That shyt isnt fair.

They'll just fire you if you miss your numbers 3 times in a certain timeframe.

It would probably be better to pay them based off of how much work they did instead of firing them for shyt beyond their control.

I worked there years ago, and even though I thought it was a terrible place to work, all these stories about people pissing in water bottles, not given breaks, etc. Is bullshyt.

Cause they allow mass production of goods for low cost that you can get access to virtually anywhere. They can eliminate dangerous and tedious jobs so humans no longer have to do them.

The main reason people are opposed to them is cause they take away jobs and thus our ability to make "money". Money itself is just a made up concept we use to regulate resources. As more and more jobs become automated and resources and goods are able to be produced by robots in mass for cheap, this idea of everyone needing to work to live/make money will become increasingly obsolete and troublesome.

Which is why I said we will have to adjust our economic structure, it's inevitable like Thanos.

 

[Rarely-Wrong Liggins]

Amazon needs to be slowed down. Folk not even realizing what’s going on. That living wage is coming

Nah fam I need my one day delivery.

If you really want to stick it to Amazon. Vote Andrew Yang.



He's the ONLY presidential candidate addressing this issue.
