The problem is, in a normal competitive environment, other companies would step in and outperform these woke companies operationally.
But because the same jackasses on the boards are the ones installed there by the ESG major fund managers, there is no need to fear stock price declines, or change of management.
The reason all of this is possible is because these same jackasses also print the money we use - and cycle it back into the asset management industry.
Money is the root of all evil - especially money that is worthless and can be printed and distributed on demand.
Remember, in a world where you can't print this nonsense, people would be forced to return to sensibilities.
Don't forget the ability to start a competitor will be strangled. Banks, payment processors, insurance companies, etc will all deny you claiming you're too risky because you don't meet their ESG requirements. The entire system has now been set up to support the narrative, and everything else is a roadblock to be smashed.
Defeating the globalists is going to require separation from all legacy systems and start from scratch.
And if you start your own country, after trying to start every other aforementioned thing with no avail because you keep getting blocked, censored or shunned. Then they'll want war too.
Defeating the globalists is going to require separation from all legacy systems and start from scratch.
They've got systems in place to avoid that too. In some countries, starting a business is right out if you are of the correct caste, not by naming the caste, but by making the regulation requirements absolutely impossible and self-invalidating.
Money IS NOT the root of all evil. I am always sick and tired of hearing people repeat that asinine quote as if they are some high-IQ enlightened individual.
SATAN is the root of all evil. Last I checked, money has NOTHING to do with child rape, bestiality, homosexuality, debauchery, torturing and child sacrifices, etc.
or love. I always tell people the more accurate phrase is "the love of money is the root of all evil". Having money is fine. Wanting to live a comfortable life is fine. It's when acquiring wealth is the most important thing to you, when you love the money, that's when evil grows.
1 Timothy 6:10 (NIV)
For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs.
People always get it wrong. It’s the love of money. Money in and of itself isn’t inherently evil. The love of it, well, that’s something entirely different.
why not go for the source? before letting "them" collapse the dollar, take over the fed, and co-opt it to serve its original, ostensible purpose: to serve the economy in this country to the best of its ability
This is societal collapse if you've ever wondered what societal collapse looked like when reading about it in history books.
There's a reason wokeness is not in history books. Anyone who ever went woke has collapsed into irrelevance and it looks like we'll just be another society in the ash heap of history.
These companies are willing to pay for abortions because it's cheaper for them to pay a woman to miss one day of work to kill her baby than it is to pay her for months of maternity leave, paying someone else to do her job, and having the potential of her leaving the job entirely to raise a family.
Everything woke turns to shit let them carry on this is a massive self own let it crumble maybe little family owned business on the street can make a come back opportunity is everywhere
We have one already. We keep the lights on, we keep the water running, we build the buildings. We spend our weekend at the river or shooting big guns in the desert. We’re the dirty, hard partying middle class and we are very pissed off.
"You're going to call off your rigorous investigation. You're going to publicly state that there is no underground group. Or these guys are going to take your balls. We're going to send one to the New York Times, one to the L.A. Times press-release-style. Look, the people you are after are the people you depend on. We cook your meals, we haul your trash, we connect your calls, we drive your ambulances, we guard you while you sleep. Do not FUCK with us."
I remember when a bus driver from New Jersey once said "these college jackasses stay dumb as shit. Waste so much fucking money yet still can't do shit. Bunch of fucking dumb fucks". I love her!
there's a reason that corporate HR standards used to be that they wouldn't even hire people with green hair or crazy tattoos or nose rings.
it's because this is the kind of person that that is.
people who revolt against your company for not pushing their political bullshit. people who need paid time off for their little breakdowns because politics didn't go their way
I mean even the hippies of like the 1960s who were also very political weren't like that. they didn't need to take time off to cry in a corner because things didn't go their way.
and it's not the entire generation but there's a reason that hiring standards used to rule out people with green hair or blue hair and nose rings and fucking crazy tattoos that you could easily see. it's because those things were all red flags in an employee.. and now you're seeing those red flags and exactly what that turns into..
Watch Gen Z pleasantly surprise you. They're figuring out how much of their lives were stolen from them, and they know how to get around censored info.
I have 2 kids who are in this age range. Both of them and their friends thinks trans kids are im their words “fucking gross and retarded”. My oldest says he knows 2 kids who are trans and they have always been fucked in the head. Don’t discount that generation because of a few dingleberries
I don't buy the 20% number, and I spend a fair bit of time with Gen Z college students.
What's happening is that the natural youth distrust of authority is working against the brainwashing. You can't lie to a generation that can fact check faster than you can lie.
Yeah, I have 2 half sleeves. I purposefully never went much past the elbow so that I could still wear a button down with sleeves rolled up and not show any ink.
Removed my industrial ear piercing years and years ago, but the hole in my frontal cartilage won't ever close, the rear cartilage did because it's closer to blood circulation and has a bit of flesh on it vs the front. Ear lobe piercing sealed up fine, too. There will likely be a swing back to anti-ink so I'm going to stick to my policy of "always leave yourself an out" and not go much below the elbow although at this point, what's done is done.
and that's the point. that's why you can get hired and it's fine. because you're still stable enough to realize that those are the things are all red flags and that you shouldn't have them if you want to get a job. so yeah you might have a full back tattoo of some crazy shit. but just the mere fact that you were aware enough not to get it on your face put you well above the rest of these liberals..
the current "in" group would totally accept you. I'm 50 this year and often have 20 somethings telling me I should dye my hair some crazy color or what not.
Amazon's cloud system is a huge part of their business, and a lot of that can be done remotely, simply because of the nature of the work. Tech, especially California tech, tends to have the types to make stupid demands like this.
Those aren't the people these morons are talking about. Most of the mouth-breathers Amazon uses and abuses for their physical labor can barely operate a computer, never mind do anything related to their AWS end of the business. They're essentially demanding more opportunities are magically made out of thin air in the area of the company that can't just be filled by saying, "OK...you've been here a long time. Here's a promotion."
Plus, it's likely many of those jobs are already done remotely and probably done in foreign countries. They demand Amazon "expand remote work options." That essentially means they want other positions in the company be open to remote working and that's probably not likely. Anyone who agrees with the bullshit in this letter is from the slave-class branch of Amazon who will never qualify for anything different because they don't want to every commit to working hard to increase their value as a worker.
Bezos will Lay Off anyone who wants time off cause feelings and find new warehouse workers off the street. And he is smart and Greedy enough not to terminate business with Red States cause he want their money and to become as big and powerful as he can become.
At least Bezos will give these SJWs what they deserve.
there was an article that was circulated by financial literate types that said their "burn and churn" operating model was in danger of churning through the entire US labor force in the near future. and nobody will voluntarily work in an exploitative environment once that word is out. everyone is "replaceable", sure, until you've "replaced" literally everybody in the country.
I just lost a software Eng to AWS. I fucking warned her about them. She’s going to be so miserable, trying to deal with her two little babies at home and having to keep her laptop on at all hours.
AWS recruiting keeps pinging me, and I keep telling the recruiters exactly what I have heard from friends - it's not worth it to work there. Recruiters hate hearing that.
We had that problem at my previous company. New management had no regard for employees, made life miserable and terminated people that had been there since it opened. Burned through the entire local workforce, so they started bussing in illegals and foriegn students to work illegally. I left shortly after that started and last I heard they had to completely rip apart the cafeteria because some east Indians brought cockroaches and bed bugs in their lunch bag from their shithole apartment, they caught a group of men circle jerking on the workfloor, some guy was storing bags of urine at his work station, and they caught a bunch of them gangbanging in the recycling room. I'm sure the Japanese shareholders meeting was a rousing success for upper management that year.
I’ve met a few retards in my day and they were without exception extremely friendly with straightforward view of right and wrong — nothing at all like these people.
You never met Jack. I had to deal with Jack every single godforsaken day he worked. He used to goose the cashiers and follow around after people doing actual work explaining which days he ate cornbread.
Jack would get very upset and begin asking, "Why?" interminably if his favorite, disgusting single-serve frozen microwave BBQ rib sandwiches were not in stock. He needed them to go with the cornbread, you see, or else the whole week would be irrecoverably sullied.
In fairness, though, that was a union job, and he was far from uniquely obnoxious in that miserable place.
Anyway, just be glad you met decent, friendly people, and not Jack. Jack can get left by himself on a wooded hillside somewhere for all I care, just the ticks and maybe a hungry cougar to keep him company.
The warehouse guys probably don't have time to sign a petition, those guys don't even get time to take a piss. This is probably from their AWS and software people. Who will probably get their jobs outsourced to India.
I was thinking the same thing. Their stock would tank, their distribution network would be gutted and the huge pressure on Americans' backs would be relieved.
They'd be sued from investors.
Would their trucks be allowed to drive through America? Buy gas and eat our food or would they have to fly everything?
Amazon corporate has a fiduciary duty to conduct business in such a way that grows the company. Refusing to do business with half the country strikes me as a stupid move. Honestly I say let them go for it and give me a excuse to stop using Amazon devices and finally cancel my prime sub.
Resulting in layoff of 10s of thousands of workers and closure of warehouses and flex facilities.
This is 4 hour workweek twitter employee thinking.
Originally, I thought it was because from what I've heard it's a shitty company to work for. However, I'm starting to change my thinking on that. I think they're hiring too many assholes like the people who put together this screed who don't understand what working actually means. Think about it...this letter comes across as "we low level assholes who are being paid minimum wage and have no skill other than being able to pull something off a shelf and put it in a box for 12 hours are now going to dictate how you should run your company AND spend your money." Fucking entitled assholes.
So, when I hear some dipshit complaining about how shitty it was/is to work for Amazon, I now immediately assume it's because the dipshit was just angry that they were/are expected to actually work. They probably thought it was some futuristic warehouse like Spacely Sprockets where all they had to do was sit at a desk and push a button all day while robots did everything.
Not that I don't believe Amazon takes advantage of its workers. I guarantee they do. But most large companies are going to take advantage of low-skill, low-IQ workers to some degree. Amazon just happens to have more opportunities for those positions.
They take advantage of the low IQ and burn those who would ordinarily progress upwards in the company structure. Both end up quitting citing working conditions, only one has real cause.
Also, from what I understand, their shift management is the worst.
Welcome to warehouse work. It's pretty uniformly awful. If you're going to do it, you try to find one that's close and pays better, and you start looking for something better almost immediately, just as a proactive measure. Pay your expenses and save up what you can in the meantime.
That's not unique to Amazon. Amazon gets mentioned endlessly by agitators and activist press because it's big and the whole country knows the brand by name because of direct interaction with that brand as consumers. Same reason Walmart got similar treatment in days past. I can assure you, warehouse, inventory, stocking and shipping/receiving work is also miserable crap across all the other big box retailers, grocery and food supply, a great deal of agricultural, automotive and/or trailer parts supply and distribution, etc.
Speaking from experience. (I haven't dealt with Amazon myself. Of what I've seen and done, Best Buy was memorably the worst. YMMV.)
I don’t have ties with Amazon, and their convenience has declined since covid. The quality of their sellers is increasingly going downhill.
I’m happy to drive to the pet store for my dog food and hardware store for my AC filters, both are starting to arrive constantly late, and I won’t let my dog go hungry.
EDIT: And my local Ace Hardware store has stepped up their fucking game. Add my brand of dog food and it’s a one stop shop next to the local butcher. Convenient almost won, but time and service will always matter more.
If I was to be generous and say it was ten hundreds of employees, i.e., 1000 employees, that signed the letter then based on that number that would only be about 0.09 percent of Amazon's workforce.
If it was me I would toss the letter in the trash after reading it and go on about my day.
They're really not. The BLM/Antifa crowd in the nearest city here tried to get a riot going this past weekend. Very few attended. No crowd = no riot. Hoes mad, but very few hoes are that mad.
Go ahead Amazon, stop doing business in states that won't allow The Killing of Unborn Babies. Do you have any idea what that would do to your Bottom Line? You would lose Billions upon Billions of Dollars. So go ahead. Make my day.
If he’s still doing business in countries that execute people for being LGBTQ there’s no way he’s going to stop doing business in states that aren’t as abortion friendly as Washington and California.
Cutting business ties with states who trade with Amazon will never happen. Bezos won't lose money to shitlib screeching, and the shareholders most definitely won't. It's the equivalent of shooting yourself in the foot with a cannon. These looney lefties don't have the power they think they do.
Fuck I hate that term. Noped out of a contract negotiation the moment they started rambling about their ESG bullshit. No way to I want to work with these type of "people".
There's no way Amazon could do this even if they wanted to. Amazon has server farms for its Amazon Web Services (AWS) where they host all kinds of sites, including Facebook.
Some of those AWS server farms are in places like Texas.
There are plenty of self-employed people in the USA making a living by selling stuff on Amazon. It would be impossible to separate out "anti-abortion" states and simply not allow people living there to buy products. How do you think the USA sellers might react?
As someone else here pointed out, Amazon sells products in plenty of countries where abortion is illegal.
And don’t forget if someone buys something from Amazon with a billing address in an abortion state and has it shipped to an address in a non-abortion state, whether sent as a gift or to a second seasonal residence. How would that be separated?
I am not saying that it will happen. In fact, I am pretty sure that it would never happen. Butt I would love to see it happen. I mean could you just see the talking heads🤡🌍 exploding when Amazon Stock is down to, oh I don't know, let's just exaggerate a little, so we'll say, 25 bucks a share. 🤯🤯
No, no. It's there. You missed the part where they demand they pay for people looking to "expand abortion access to women and pregnant people in impacted states."
Holy shit it's amazing how moronic these assholes are. "Pregnant people." What. The. Fuck?
Think about how easily we'll win. Once the first report of a massive lost battle on their side comes in, they'll ask that we suspend the war for a few days while they run off to their safe spaces to recover.
I stopped reading at "basic human rights". No one has a "basic human right" to take a life and it's certainly not enumerated in the constitution. Did these people pass high school?
Or, get this, you're gonna wanna brace yourselves for this one... how about... are you ready? You close your fucking legs... start behaving like adult humans... and get the fuck back to work. Doesn't that sound great? Cool, let's do that. Thanks.
Oh, you mean you don't buy overpriced, Chinese shit that takes two months to be delivered? That was pretty much my last experience with Amazon. And before anyone chimes in with "Why did you buy something coming directly from China" it's because Amazon doesn't tell you that until after it's been shipped.
Lol, I fully expect Amazon to lay-off some woke idiots. Bezo is a capitalist and he’s not stupid, he needs people to do a job. I won’t be surprised one but if TruthSocial will eventually have the same services as Amazon.
Good thing employees don't make decisions for the company. They would lose how much business in 23 states? But hey, those idiots might make that decision
What a bunch of fucking retards.
Liberals think everything is a fucking college campus. This is the direct result of the insanity rolling through colleges.
The colleges have become an extension of government.
They don’t have to provide a valuable product when the feds are committed to making sure everyone can afford college.
The problem is, in a normal competitive environment, other companies would step in and outperform these woke companies operationally.
But because the same jackasses on the boards are the ones installed there by the ESG major fund managers, there is no need to fear stock price declines, or change of management.
The reason all of this is possible is because these same jackasses also print the money we use - and cycle it back into the asset management industry.
Money is the root of all evil - especially money that is worthless and can be printed and distributed on demand.
Remember, in a world where you can't print this nonsense, people would be forced to return to sensibilities.
Don't forget the ability to start a competitor will be strangled. Banks, payment processors, insurance companies, etc will all deny you claiming you're too risky because you don't meet their ESG requirements.

Defeating the globalists is going to require separation from all legacy systems and start from scratch.

SATAN is the root of all evil. Last I checked, money has NOTHING to do with child rape, bestiality, homosexuality, debauchery, torturing and child sacrifices, etc.
it's the pursuit of money. people always get it wrong.

Ok, let me rephrase.
Money is the root of all evil in the material sense.
Satan is the root of all evil in the spiritual sense.
"The LOVE of money is the root of all evil." 1st Timothy 6:10
I thought it was da joos?
wrong sub. ConPro is that way ~~~>
And this is why even many will suffer the collapse of the dollar is a positive for people who ultimately love freedom.
why not go for the source? before letting "them" collapse the dollar, take over the fed, and co-opt it to serve its original, ostensible purpose: to serve the economy in this country to the best of its ability
The Fed is privately owned and worth trillions. How do you plan to take that over?
Too big to fail
Yeah totally. Money makes people too powerful. Can just do whatever they want because.
Paying for an abortion is cheaper than maternity leave. It’s simple numbers, boys and girls.
Yep.
No.
You’re INCREDIBLY naive if you think the reason we’re seeing all this is because “it’s cheaper than maternity leave”.
Jesus Christ dude. Open your eyes.
Also it’s purely defensive.
Woke preggo: what do you mean you aren’t going to affirm my gender or provide me with a abortion stipend? That is hateful and I’m going to sue you.
Corps are inherently risk adverse so there is no downside to claiming they’ll provide time and money to the wokists.
This is societal collapse if you've ever wondered what societal collapse looked like when reading about it in history books.
There's a reason wokeness is not in history books. Anyone who ever went woke has collapsed into irrelevance and it looks like we'll just be another society in the ash heap of history.
I disagree with that. There are substantial parallels between wokeness and the actions of communists during revolutions.
Remember the Yale professor being attacked? Remember the evergreen students?
Those are struggle sessions.
Antifa are the red guards.
We are literally in a communist revolution right now! They are using the same language, but they've replaced "class" with "race"
I'm sure I don't have to link to you videos of antifa carrying communist flags.
and we won't even be leaving anything lasting behind like the Romans did. Our ruins will be dust and sand in a century.
Dust, sand and neon colored buttplugs and dildos.
These companies are willing to pay for abortions because it's cheaper for them to pay a woman to miss one day of work to kill her baby than it is to pay her for months of maternity leave, paying someone else to do her job, and having the potential of her leaving the job entirely to raise a family.
Abortion money is chump change to them.
Everything woke turns to shit let them carry on this is a massive self own let it crumble maybe little family owned business on the street can make a come back opportunity is everywhere
This is a great idea.
Jump start the parallel economy.
We have one already. We keep the lights on, we keep the water running, we build the buildings. We spend our weekend at the river or shooting big guns in the desert. We’re the dirty, hard partying middle class and we are very pissed off.
"You're going to call off your rigorous investigation. You're going to publicly state that there is no underground group. Or these guys are going to take your balls.

My guns are average size and my wife says they are perfectly satisfying
She said the same thing about mine.
I saw that on the back glass of someone's Jeep yesterday. I took a picture and sent it to a buddy.
Here, it's a post now. Check it out.

Amazon did not kill itself.
I’m curious about what ideas you may have? The book “the power of the powerless” talks about creating parallel systems. I think it’s a good idea
They're not making sure everyone can afford college, just that they can pay for it. There's a difference.
govt schools starting with VPK thru 'college'
I remember when a bus driver from New Jersey once said "these college jackasses stay dumb as shit. Waste so much fucking money yet still can't do shit. Bunch of fucking dumb fucks". I love her!

underrated comment
These people are, inherently, unemployable. Companies are beginning to reap this particular whirlwind.
Yep, because a neck tattoo or green hair or a nose ring is a telltale sign of mental instability.
Watch Gen Z pleasantly surprise you. They're figuring out how much of their lives were stolen from them, and they know how to get around censored info.
Yup I'm at the border of Gen Z/Millenial and finding people who aren't dumbass libs is pretty fucking difficult
I have 2 kids who are in this age range. Both of them and their friends thinks trans kids are im their words “fucking gross and retarded”. My oldest says he knows 2 kids who are trans and they have always been fucked in the head. Don’t discount that generation because of a few dingleberries

I've seen 1 in 70 identify as "trans", and almost 1 in 10 as LGBTQRP2++
Yeah, I have 2 half sleeves. I purposefully never went much past the elbow so that I could still wear a button down with sleeves rolled up and not show any ink.

I too kept mine above the elbow. Working in white collar jobs all my life, you used to have to hide that shit, to get the job.
Wonder how I'd look in purple or blue hair at my age (54) ?
like a college professor
the current "in" group would totally accept you. I'm 50 this year and often have 20 somethings telling me I should dye my hair some crazy color or what not.
These dipshits think that just because they have a minimum wage job in an Amazon warehouse, they have a say in the company's dealings.
My favorite part is "expand remote work options." Not realizing, as you said, that a fucking warehouse job or delivery job can't be done remotely.
Amazon's cloud system is a huge part of their business, and a lot of that can be done remotely, simply because of the nature of the work. Tech, especially California tech, tends to have the types to make stupid demands like this.
Those aren't the people these morons are talking about.

I called them dipshits for a reason.
Well we go to school for 13 years (k-12) and we're all told to go to college. So it's no surprise many are stuck in a college mentality indefinitely.
Its amazing how little you can learn in 17 years of public education.
If we're not vigilant, they'll turn the world into a giant woke college campus, reeeing doughgoys everywhere.
HOW WILL BEZOS SURVIVE WITHOUT 2 HUNDRED PURPLE HAIRED MINIONS PULLING ITEMS FROM SHELVES?
Bezos will Lay Off anyone who wants time off cause feelings and find new warehouse workers off the street. And he is smart and Greedy enough not to terminate business with Red States cause he want their money and to become as big and powerful as he can become.

I just lost a software Eng to AWS. I fucking warned her about them. She’s going to be so miserable, trying to deal with her two little babies at home and having to keep her laptop on at all hours.
But she didn’t listen to me, so it’s all on her!
AWS recruiting keeps pinging me, and I keep telling the recruiters exactly what I have heard from friends - it's not worth it to work there. Recruiters hate hearing that.
Well hey we’re banning abortions so Amazon just needs to wait 18 years for the unwanted babies to grow up and be loser warehouse workers lol
They probably hope they have an all robotic work force by then
We had that problem at my previous company. New management had no regard for employees, made life miserable and terminated people that had been there since it opened. Burned through the entire local workforce, so they started bussing in illegals and foriegn students to work illegally. I left shortly after that started and last I heard they had to completely rip apart the cafeteria because some east Indians brought cockroaches and bed bugs in their lunch bag from their shithole apartment, they caught a group of men circle jerking on the workfloor, some guy was storing bags of urine at his work station, and they caught a bunch of them gangbanging in the recycling room. I'm sure the Japanese shareholders meeting was a rousing success for upper management that year.
There's a reason that there's been a push to unionize Amazon workers... Can't push a political agenda if the agitators can be easily canned.
But he’ll let his Washington Post dox and harrass Libs of TikTok and print any narrative of the administrative state
Shelf people don't even get time to pee. They're not in on this.
Is the list of employees available? I know a “cat lady” type that works for Amazon… I’m dying to see if she’s on there
Doubt. I bet this is an anonymous letter claiming to be “on behalf of hundreds”.
Would be huge for small businesses in red states... But Amazon's not losing billions over this. Never gonna happen
Much easier to put up pride flags than to do something like this that would actually financially impact them.
Wouldn’t it be funny if this were a based individual at Amazon doing this to effect positive change using wokeism as subterfuge?
I’ve met a few retards in my day and they were without exception extremely friendly with straightforward view of right and wrong — nothing at all like these people.
If I was stranded on a desert island, I'd rather be stuck on it with 10 retards than 1 super woke leftist.
You never met Jack. I had to deal with Jack every single godforsaken day he worked. He used to goose the cashiers and follow around after people doing actual work explaining which days he ate cornbread.
Jack would get very upset and begin asking, "Why?" interminably if his favorite, disgusting single-serve frozen microwave BBQ rib sandwiches were not in stock. He needed them to go with the cornbread, you see, or else the whole week would be irrecoverably sullied.
In fairness, though, that was a union job, and he was far from uniquely obnoxious in that miserable place.
Anyway, just be glad you met decent, friendly people, and not Jack. Jack can get left by himself on a wooded hillside somewhere for all I care, just the ticks and maybe a hungry cougar to keep him company.
Yes!!
Like the joker said
YOU GET WHAT YOU FUCKING DESERVE!!
:: GUNSHOT ::
Im not a leftist... And I cant find a job in Okiehoma.
YOU'RE FIRED, DRONE!
But I thought I was uniquely qualified to carry a box
The warehouse guys probably don't have time to sign a petition, those guys don't even get time to take a piss. This is probably from their AWS and software people. Who will probably get their jobs outsourced to India.
Then don’t work for amazon komrade
I don't?
Wanna know how I know...?
Sorry pede. I will downvote myself. Maybe I should have said "modern day slaves".
Way better.
Serfs, maybe, is what you meant originally? Has a real feudal feel to it for sure.
I envisioned purple hair "people" looking at their device telling them what aisle and bin to "pick" their order.
The machines pick the item, the people stuff it into a box and affix the label.
Are you Michael Bloomberg?
Sorry, I was just finishing my pizza and licking my fingers, what did you say?
I was thinking the same thing. Their stock would tank, their distribution network would be gutted and the huge pressure on Americans' backs would be relieved.
They'd be sued from investors.
Would their trucks be allowed to drive through America? Buy gas and eat our food or would they have to fly everything?
The knock on effects would be insane.
Amazon corporate has a fiduciary duty to conduct business in such a way that grows the company. Refusing to do business with half the country strikes me as a stupid move. Honestly I say let them go for it and give me a excuse to stop using Amazon devices and finally cancel my prime sub.
Resulting in layoff of 10s of thousands of workers and closure of warehouses and flex facilities.
This is 4 hour workweek twitter employee thinking.
100%
I think it would be great if all woke companies rotted from within and small businesses picked up the business.
If a better solution than this exists, I cannot think of it
go woke go broke
please do
no one needs that cheap chinese shit anyway
If I’m being honest, consumer culture is pretty cancerous.
Cancer culture
But how will I get all those things I'm too lazy to leave the house and actually go buy!
PLEASE DELIVER TO ME MY PRECIOUS TRINKETS!!!
We here, Europe, have a caste of people that are Amazon-depressed, and can only cheer up when the next parcel arrives at their doorstep.
The dopamine seems to flare up when the doorbell rings, like pavlovian conditioning.
Maybe the world really ended in 2012, and it just takes more time to crash...
There are a lot of stupid people in the world...lets just hope the crash takes them out first to thin the herd.
What makes you think you are not one of them?
Yep, and they're already having a hard time retaining and recruiting employees.
Originally, I thought it was because from what I've heard it's a shitty company to work for. However, I'm starting to change my thinking on that. I think they're hiring too many assholes like the people who put together this screed who don't understand what working actually means. Think about it...this letter comes across as "we low level assholes who are being paid minimum wage and have no skill other than being able to pull something off a shelf and put it in a box for 12 hours are now going to dictate how you should run your company AND spend your money." Fucking entitled assholes.
So, when I hear some dipshit complaining about how shitty it was/is to work for Amazon, I now immediately assume it's because the dipshit was just angry that they were/are expected to actually work. They probably thought it was some futuristic warehouse like Spacely Sprockets where all they had to do was sit at a desk and push a button all day while robots did everything.
Not that I don't believe Amazon takes advantage of its workers. I guarantee they do. But most large companies are going to take advantage of low-skill, low-IQ workers to some degree. Amazon just happens to have more opportunities for those positions.
They take advantage of the low IQ and burn those who would ordinarily progress upwards in the company structure. Both end up quitting citing working conditions, only one has real cause.
Also, from what I understand, their shift management is the worst.
Welcome to warehouse work. It's pretty uniformly awful. If you're going to do it, you try to find one that's close and pays better, and you start looking for something better almost immediately, just as a proactive measure. Pay your expenses and save up what you can in the meantime.
That's not unique to Amazon. Amazon gets mentioned endlessly by agitators and activist press because it's big and the whole country knows the brand by name because of direct interaction with that brand as consumers. Same reason Walmart got similar treatment in days past. I can assure you, warehouse, inventory, stocking and shipping/receiving work is also miserable crap across all the other big box retailers, grocery and food supply, a great deal of agricultural, automotive and/or trailer parts supply and distribution, etc.
Speaking from experience. (I haven't dealt with Amazon myself. Of what I've seen and done, Best Buy was memorably the worst. YMMV.)
I don’t have ties with Amazon, and their convenience has declined since covid. The quality of their sellers is increasingly going downhill.
I’m happy to drive to the pet store for my dog food and hardware store for my AC filters, both are starting to arrive constantly late, and I won’t let my dog go hungry.
EDIT: And my local Ace Hardware store has stepped up their fucking game. Add my brand of dog food and it’s a one stop shop next to the local butcher. Convenient almost won, but time and service will always matter more.
🤣😂🤣
Oh man eat shit and die faggots
I was hoping my woke company would give us the day off so I could taunt liberals online.
Just do it from work while the woke company pays for it!
Mine just did! We have Friday off. I'm in tech
Isn't there something else -- or someone else -- that some of these people should be grieving first?
Translation: hoes big mad.
Hundreds, out of how many?
You aren't as popular as you think you are, hoes.
.0000001% of Amazon employees write a letter to virtue signal.
Fixed the headline.
Best estimates I found online are about 1.1 MILLION employees in the US.
If I was to be generous and say it was ten hundreds of employees, i.e., 1000 employees, that signed the letter then based on that number that would only be about 0.09 percent of Amazon's workforce.
If it was me I would toss the letter in the trash after reading it and go on about my day.
They're really not. The BLM/Antifa crowd in the nearest city here tried to get a riot going this past weekend. Very few attended. No crowd = no riot. Hoes mad, but very few hoes are that mad.
Go ahead Amazon, stop doing business in states that won't allow The Killing of Unborn Babies. Do you have any idea what that would do to your Bottom Line? You would lose Billions upon Billions of Dollars. So go ahead. Make my day.
Bezos may be woke but he isn’t stupid.
If he’s still doing business in countries that execute people for being LGBTQ there’s no way he’s going to stop doing business in states that aren’t as abortion friendly as Washington and California.
Cutting business ties with states who trade with Amazon will never happen. Bezos won't lose money to shitlib screeching, and the shareholders most definitely won't. It's the equivalent of shooting yourself in the foot with a cannon. These looney lefties don't have the power they think they do.
These companies ESG scores are more important to them than profit, especially as the Great Reset accelerates
Fuck I hate that term. Noped out of a contract negotiation the moment they started rambling about their ESG bullshit. No way to I want to work with these type of "people".
ESG means extra super gay, right?
Walmart would be happy and would fill that void the next day. Walmart has been nipping at Amazons heels for a while now.
There's no way Amazon could do this even if they wanted to. Amazon has server farms for its Amazon Web Services (AWS) where they host all kinds of sites, including Facebook.
Some of those AWS server farms are in places like Texas.
There are plenty of self-employed people in the USA making a living by selling stuff on Amazon. It would be impossible to separate out "anti-abortion" states and simply not allow people living there to buy products. How do you think the USA sellers might react?
As someone else here pointed out, Amazon sells products in plenty of countries where abortion is illegal.
I need popcorn for this particular show. Wow.
And don’t forget if someone buys something from Amazon with a billing address in an abortion state and has it shipped to an address in a non-abortion state, whether sent as a gift or to a second seasonal residence. How would that be separated?
I am not saying that it will happen. In fact, I am pretty sure that it would never happen. Butt I would love to see it happen. I mean could you just see the talking heads🤡🌍 exploding when Amazon Stock is down to, oh I don't know, let's just exaggerate a little, so we'll say, 25 bucks a share. 🤯🤯
Imagine what it would do for those local economies. Truly a blessing.
Time off for… fee fees?
😂
half the women screeching are barren womb post-wall cat herders.
Note that they managed to omit the words "female" and "woman".
No, no. It's there. You missed the part where they demand they pay for people looking to "expand abortion access to women and pregnant people in impacted states."
Holy shit it's amazing how moronic these assholes are. "Pregnant people." What. The. Fuck?
Such poor excuses for grown ass adults.
they're spoiled adolescents
We just need a war. There is no other solution at this point. These people are just a waste of resources.
It has already started
Think about how easily we'll win. Once the first report of a massive lost battle on their side comes in, they'll ask that we suspend the war for a few days while they run off to their safe spaces to recover.
Bring in Elon. Fire them all
Cope and Elongate!
Seems like a good list to reference when reducing the workforce due to higher operating costs.
Lol hundreds! I’m sure Amazon will close all facilities immediately!
Ahahahahahahahahahahahahaha Ahahahahahahahahahahahahaha Ahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
I stopped reading at "basic human rights". No one has a "basic human right" to take a life and it's certainly not enumerated in the constitution. Did these people pass high school?
No that’s why they work at Amazon
Grab your piss bottle and get back to work!
You mean people would have to buy local? Oh no, that sucks…
Or, get this, you're gonna wanna brace yourselves for this one... how about... are you ready? You close your fucking legs... start behaving like adult humans... and get the fuck back to work. Doesn't that sound great? Cool, let's do that. Thanks.
Ok. Haven't shopped on Amazon in several years. Support local business.
Oh, you mean you don't buy overpriced, Chinese shit that takes two months to be delivered? That was pretty much my last experience with Amazon. And before anyone chimes in with "Why did you buy something coming directly from China" it's because Amazon doesn't tell you that until after it's been shipped.
They won't even cease doing business with China still using slave labor.
Hundreds How many employees does Amazon have?
I'm so over these fags that rope in wine box leftists to do their bidding.
It was over 1.6 MILLION as of 2020.
How fucking soft do you have to be for this?
I need time off to grieve for something that doesn't even make it illegal, like it should???
Fucking roundheads.
Give them permanent time off
Sounds like open season for MAGA takeover and HR office to get fucked.
I love how they say it's a "Basic human right" but when the child is in the womb, they don't get that same basic Right.
If Amazon goes through with this (and they wont), they will lose a lot of money and i hope they fire those "hundreds of employees" lol.
LOL.
I would love nothing more than Amazon to stop doing business in my state.
Gawd, Amazon really employs low level employees without any basic math on how supply and demand works.
Imagine being so fucking stupid that you think someone becomes one of the richest men in the world by caring about employees' soy feelings.
They about to see how superficial that rainbow-logo is.
I suspect there are at least a few people in HR and C-level who would actually comply with this.
Lol 😆
We’re about to see real capitalism when Bezos says “NO!” And cracks the whip
Lol, I fully expect Amazon to lay-off some woke idiots. Bezo is a capitalist and he’s not stupid, he needs people to do a job. I won’t be surprised one but if TruthSocial will eventually have the same services as Amazon.
What about the thousands that are ecstatic about it?
It's probably a safe bet the original draft included a demand that those people be fired.
I applaud my courageous fellow Amazonians and demand every single one of them who signed this letter get an IMMEDIATE promotion... To customer
I guess they want time to grieve that the black population will increase.
I wonder who is going to get replaced by a robot first
Lol the only reason Amazon has gone woke is to take your woke ass money. They will not lose half thier customers because of some fag whiners
Good thing employees don't make decisions for the company. They would lose how much business in 23 states? But hey, those idiots might make that decision
Robots that are going to replace them won't request time off for political complaints.
Yeah I'm sure Amazon will shut down all those Fullfillment Center's in Texas.
And their AWS server farms
Fire them all!
damn I wish we thought of this, lets see if they will cancel themselves
