"a shot heard round the world": Crazy Bernie praises Bezos for raising Amazon workers minimum wage

[Harpy Eagle]

Why is the right so ignorant about business, yet think they know so much?

Amazon is having trouble attracting and keeping employees. They opened a distribution center not 10 miles from my home a few years back, I even applied for and was interviewed for a management position with them, but choose not to pursue it beyond that.

This facility cannot keep enough employees right now because of the tight labor market, and for what they were paying people the work they did was not worth it and people would leave and go make 8 bucks an hour working far easier jobs.

What is the most ironic about this whole thing is that for 2 years you sheep have been telling us that Trump's actions will increases wages, and then when wages go up you all act like it is the end of the world.

What is wrong with you people?

Thank you for explaining why you are so ignorant about economics.

True, socialism... It’s all about control

Your favorite thing! You whine when the Govt wants to increase wages, you whine when private companies choose to increase wages. Keeping people poor and reliant on the Govt is all about control, just what you are after.

The problem with raising wages unnecessarily is someone else had to pay for it. That’s the whole thing with socialism… That’s how you control the population

The company does not agree that they are raising wages unnecessarily, they think it is needed. I will go with their track record over yours

How many people can hit .245 with 19 home runs? A shit ton actually!

His job is not a beginners job, you’re deflecting

The point is that lots of people are paid more than they are worth.

And yet, I don't begrudge you your $2.50 and hour. I'm sure you're worth every penny.

Ahhh, you are so cute! I started the year off with a 12 grand a year raise, a bit more than an extra 2.50 an hour!

Do not be a hater just because some of us are more successful that you...Wendy's always needs fry cooks so you are covered!

I dream of being a fry cook.

But, this is the Internet ... everyone here is a doctor / lawyer / astronaut / supermodel. Some are all of those wrapped up in one uber-special package. They just come here to see how the other 99% live.

Bingo!!!
If people don’t like what they’re doing toughen up and get something they do... don’t expect to be paid something for nothing in the same ol’ bullshit.
Entitlement is all about selfishness

Keep working at it, I am sure you can move up eventually!

I'm happy where I am.

Those jobs are nothing jobs... They certainly are not careers. They should never be meant to be careers....

No such thing as a nothing job. All jobs have value.

True, But beginner/service jobs are not careers… And should never be paid as careers. Because someone ends up paying for that shit

Slavery ended a long time ago. Jeff doesn't need another $100 billion.

No one should be paid something for nothing... that’s socialism

They have a job, numbnuts. And are just looking for a living wage.

Look for a better paying job, don’t expect great wages for service/beginner jobs.
Entitlement only hurts the ambitious and successful…

 

[TroglocratsRdumb]

corporate leaders around the world will follow Jeff's lead!

Trump's low unemployment rate has forced employers to raise wages to compete for employees.

That is good to know! Not everyone needs ambition!

It's not the President's job to keep people employed.

Yet when the business determines that, you bash them for doing so...what is up with that?

I told my wife last night - “If anything you buy on Amazon, or any service you get from them, goes up even $0.01; you get it somewhere else... even if it’s more expensive.”

I will not support a company that artificially inflates pay beyond what the employees deserve. An employee who was making $7.25 yesterday doesn’t deserve $15.00 today simply for political grandstanding.

This is the free market at work. Embrace it.
This is the way raises SHOULD raise. Not by big brother.

I've already achieved my ambition ... I'm happy. I have a fun job, occasionally exciting, and plenty of time off to pursue other interests.

So who the fuck are you to decide what Amazon is supposed to pay its employees?

 

[Rustic]

This is never worth more than around seven dollars an hour realistically....

What more pay? do something else

Sounds wonderful, much like my current situation.

True
Certainly not, It’s always up to the individual and if they want to work, how much they want to get paid… The village will never cover your ass, long term.
