work like a zombie Oct 11-12 if you're mad about the raise
You know how sometimes you have a day where you didn't get any sleep and you feel like garbage or maybe getting sick and you just drag yourself around all day operating at about 50-60% capacity, going as slowly as you can possibly get away with? If you want to voice your displeasure about the recent raises, have two of those bad days in a row on October 11th and 12th.
You KNOW most of you've been in here hung over or sick at least twice and you survived lol. (Don't do it if you're on the edge of getting fired, obviously.)
Seems relatively safe if you're usually reliable - If not many people do it, you just had a not-great couple days. Maybe there's a flu going around. If there's enough people that Amazon actually feels it, that's a lot of people to try to mass discipline at a time, much less fire, much less right before peak
But seriously one of the only things that scares Amazon is when we work together on anything. And the only thing Amazon cares about is keeping that flow of packages running smoothly. Fuck the VOA board, let's send a message in the only language Amazon understands telling them how we really feel about that not-even-keeping-up-with-inflation-ass raise. Maybe it'll even make them even a tiny bit worried about our possible opinion on future decisions like this.
If your first reaction is "But I'll get stuck having to work twice as hard!" For what, though? For a raise that, after inflation, leaves you in a tougher financial situation than you were last year? For a company that makes billions of dollars for every millimeter it can lower our standards?
You could just go to work and let it be management's problem, not yours. That's why they get paid so much more than you, right? Or you could also come join the undead legion, I guarantee your financial interests are similar to ours and opposite to whoever pulled the trigger on that raise.
You gotta spread the word irl for this to have any effect.
Let's miss some cpts, folks
. . . (Interested mostly in the thoughts of T1-T3 here, as inflation hits our paychecks hardest. Sad/bitter AMs contingently welcome. Less interested in opinions of people who do not work at Amazon.)
EDIT: Do you people replying that we don't deserve a raise understand how inflation works? In almost all cases the raise we got leaves us worse off financially than we were last year. It's not lazy or stupid to be angry about that, you weirdos, it's called being able to do math and having self-respect. Also, please be transparent if you're actually a manager and this is all a bit hypothetical for you
EDIT 2: I am a woman.
