🌟 #WorkAtAmazon, #WorkerStruggles, #LivingWageDebate 🌟
Hey there, have you heard about Amazon raising their warehouse wages to $15 an hour five years ago? Pretty cool, right? But here’s the twist – a recent survey found that half of the workers are still struggling to afford basic necessities like food or rent. 😳
Can you believe it? It makes you wonder – is $15 an hour really enough to make ends meet in today’s world? 🤔
I’m curious to hear your thoughts on this. Do you think companies like Amazon should do more to ensure their workers can afford a decent standard of living? Let’s discuss and delve deeper into this complex issue together! 💬💡

Pathetic.
Washington state minimum wage (Amazon’s home state) is $16.28 per hour.
Per gov number break down 3 yrs ago workers needed around 32 hr to live
Amazon could make pods for their workers.in the warehouses. Better yet also add maternity wards, daycare, grade school, cremation.
They can grow their own workforce generationly that never leaves them building (through force at first until knowledge that there is an outside world is erased).
Not saying they shouldn’t be payed more but don’t you think that these surveys are biased (i.e. if I were asked about if I felt like I was being paid fairly of course I would say no because I’d be hoping that my answer would influence leadership to increase my wage)?
I know a few people who worked for Amazon. They all quit not too long after starting saying the pay was good but forced OT every weekend, and being treated like a jail was too much.
I’m a mailman and without room mates I’d be homeless with our pay
