motonoggin Posted October 4, 2018 Author Share Posted October 4, 2018 Cynical reactionary dipshits: "if workers want better wages, they should demand it from their employer" Workers: *successfully demand better wages* CRD's: "no, not like that" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmeeAgain Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 This is lip service. The starting wage was $11 with the average making more than $15 anyway. The $11 wage went up very quickly if you stayed. They also eliminated the monthly bonuses and stock options which probably saves them money over the small wage hike in the first place. Bezos is no dummy - more in his pocket while getting patted on the back by the dipshits who don't look at the whole pic! LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a good system that allows hard work and talent to be rewarded...and serves as a motivator do do and be so. HOWEVER, some lack the drive to work, or the talent to move up higher. Some lack both. No system is perfect. I lacked the talent to move to where I thought I should be able to go....it's a tough pill to swallow but, it's gotta be downed. Opting out and hating the system while you toil your life away for a meaningless and lost cause on a radical agenda while you subside on a diet of government cheese is idiocy.

If you want to attain more out of life on your own merits, rather than on the charity of others, it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
