When the news broke that Amazon was doubling the salary of corporate employees I mentioned on here how it felt wrong in comparison to what they pay their warehouse workers and drivers and got some backlash on here. A lot of talk about how an engineer provides XXX% more value and supply and demand.
Warehouse jobs are back breaking. I don't think they need to be paid as much as a software engineer, but they should be paid a decent wage and have decent work conditions.
- ASinclair 4y ago> When the news broke that Amazon was doubling the salary of corporate employees I'm pretty sure they just doubled the salary cap. That doesn't necessarily mean everyone's salary was doubled.
- scarface74 4y agoAmazon didn’t even do that. Before, no matter who you were, your cash component was maxed out between $160K - $175K. The rest of your compensation was in stock. Now, more of your compensation can be stock based.
- scarface74 4y agoI passed the edit window. I meant more of your compensation can be cash based.
- scollet 4y agoYeah. I wish healthcare was universal because it's not okay to curry health issues past capability. Imagine busting your lumbar and then not being to find a construction job or something.
