Amazon has over 1.4 Million employees. Looking at this article, 14,000 joined a slack channel to complain. So only about 1% is pushing Andy Jassy about this. Should we assume the remainder (~99%) is OK? If so, this is yet another instance of a small group of people strategically using regular/social media to amplify a minority position which the majority doesn't support.
- amzn-throw 4y ago1.5, but probably over a million of those are FC workers who are not on slack cuz they're running around the warehouse. There are just over 400,000 office employees WW So it's closer to 3.5%, and the announcement was only posted Friday morning before a long weekend so that's likely to grow.

- ben0x539 4y agoWhy would you assume the remainder is OK with this? Joining a slack channel isn't a referendum.
- xboxnolifes 4y agoA collective 1% pushback is pretty big as far as activism goes. It's also way more than 1%, since no where near 1.4 Million of those employees have slack access.
