Corporate employees of Amazon were asked on Monday to volunteer their time to the company’s warehouses to assist with grocery delivery as it heads into its annual discount spree known as Prime Day.
In a Slack message reviewed by the Guardian that went to thousands of white-collar workers in the New York City area from engineers to marketers, an Amazon area manager called for corporate “volunteers to help us out with Prime Day to deliver to customers on our biggest days yet”. It is not clear how many took up the offer.
I’d love to boycott Amazon, but we rely on them for food deliveries. Instead, I like to order things individually throughout the day. I don’t wait and collect orders, and send them at once, I send them as I think of them. That way each order is billed separately, making each order as expensive as possible, wasting just a bit of Bezos’ profit, and making sure his employees are working and getting paid.
Relying on amazon for food deliveries? Thats the dumbest shit I ever heard
The dumbest shit is thinking that everyone has the same access to food as you do. Not everybody has a grocery store nearby, or a way to get to it.
And relying on Amazon food delivery is still the worst and dumbest shit you could ever do. You’re literally ordering individual food items throughout the day from them, what is wrong with you lmao. Furthermore you are enriching Amazon not the opposite like you tried to claim.
There are some situations where you gotta do what you gotta do.
