Just a little reminder that many workers in fact do not get treated well just because their company thinks they do.

  I think it should also be noted that the best way to show an employer that they need to do better is supply and demand, quitting entirely and working for someone else is not only more effective than simply demonstrating or slacking off, it’s also many magnitudes more professional and better for your career.

If the goal is to get the employer to notice the issue, leaving and hope they get the idea, when the pool of applicants is essentially unlimited seems like a poor way of articulating a position. Amazon is a captive audience in this protest and by not just outright leaving, the employees are forcing Amazon to consider their situation, rather than write it off and bring in a new batch.

    Some people have mouths to feed and bills to pay. You can't just tell people to quit if they don't like it. There aren't many other $15/hour jobs available for most of those workers.

    quitting entirely and working for someone else Doesn't work if every other employer is also like that.
