But there's a broader issue here besides using an internal employee calendar. Amazon could have just addressed their employees legitimate concerns but this just comes off as petty and out of touch. It's not like they can't afford to treat their employees better, they're choosing not to do it because they'll profit slightly less.

- salawat 7y agoCome back to me when there is no further growth possible, and investors are starting to bail out. Then seriious talk, can be had about it. As it stands; Amazon is coming off as petty and adversarial. The fact is; the labor force is no longer accepting what Amazon is selling as acceptable compensation. They have the right to organize amongst themselves in their common interest, and if they (Amazon) as an employer wishes to continue in safety from "unfair labor practices" (wildcat strikes etc...) I'd personally recommend they honor their obligation to allow organization to take place. Not doing so only sends the message that the office is an economic battlefield complete with victors and the vanquished; and not a workplace where good people come together to get work done, and make money in the process. When you sacrifice your relationship with the people who work for you, I find it difficult to offer much in the way of sympathy and understanding. Especially given the last 40 year's have been marked with capital holders rolling over their laborers in myriad new ways.
