    “We listened to our critics, thought hard about what we wanted to do, and decided we want to lead,” Amazon founder and CEO Jeff Bezos says as company announces plans to raise its minimum wage to $15 for all U.S. employees. https://abcn.ws/2O1uO5z pic.twitter.com/5HGF279t6E

        They raised the wages for the people who already work there $1, they took away all of our future RSU’s, & they took away our monthly bonuses which are doubled the next 3 months so we won’t be getting those. In all actuality the employees at amazon are losing money w/ this “raise.

        Shouldn’t have waited for critics but you ultimately did the right thing, thank you for that.

        I'm thinking any extra cash this results in will quickly be eaten up by higher health care cost. When you make $15 an hour you are definitely not living the high life. :(

        Also, we're temporarily increasing our prices by 5% to pay for it, until we automate the jobs out of existence. Bezos wins again, idiots.

        What will happen is those on social security, welfare and pensions will suffer as inflation will become worse. Its a bad idea

        What non-sense! Amazon does not employ all of America. Its workforce is but a small sector part of the American workplace; it could not possibly move the rate of inflation. Think again!
