    Can confirm. Something I couldn’t admit to on Reddit but idgaf here: am an Amazon employee. Not a driver or FC worker either, white collar desk jockey. Internally Amazon is forcing all departments to come up with at least 250k each in cost savings by years end all in an effort to pad their bottom fucking line (and you better believe not a single one of us is going to see a goddamn dime of those savings). All the while still making profit every quarter but telling employees they don’t consider inflation when doing annual raises and making us do the work of multiple people. It’s fucked up the sheer amount of greed that corporations are going through right now basically cannibalizing themselves to earn more profit every quarter.

    It also said Amazon put customers seeking to cancel through a cumbersome “four-page, six-click, fifteen option” process, which the FTC said was known internally as “Iliad” in a nod to the Greek epic about the “long, arduous Trojan War”.

    At least we get to live in a dystopian hellscape that respects the classics.
