Oh shit great counterpoint Washington Post employees are losers...
Fuck Bezos. Eat 'em all when we run out of cake.
Fuck that meritocracy bullshit. Everyone deserves to eat.
Since taking over, the fortunes of the WP have improved dramatically. Sales and revenue are up, readership, content output, investments in their tech and processes, even numbers of reporters has increased which is pretty much unheard of in this day and age. I dunno if this change will actually result in people getting paid more or less, but I do know that this team clearly knows how to run a newspaper. I'm sure there are lots of people here on GAF who are also very good at running newspapers, so I guess we'll have to just wait and see who is right.
401k match at 1% lol that is fucking awful
Why are you sure of that? Amazon is a notoriously shitty company to work forThis is one of the leading news papers in the world and their 401K match is 1%?!
I'm sure Amazon is matching more than that
And im complaining about the 2% i get at my work.

I'll just leave that there. I read all 79 pages of it, it's absolutely disgusting what Amazon is doing to the economy, local communities, brick and mortar retailers, and most importantly how they abuse the employer/employee relationship.
There was a thread about that report not too long ago, sadly it only went a couple of pages then dropped from existence on NeoGAF.
Trump being an asshole doesn't preclude Jeff Bezos from being an asshole.You sound like trump.

It works great at its goal, which is increasing the power and wealth of the capitalists at the expense of working people.Silicon Valley mindset is a fucking disease.
The search for capitalistic "merit" and efficiency, as applied to humans, doesn't fucking work.
Kind of like the Netflix model where employees are not a family but a professional team. Sounds great on PowerPoint presentation but completely sucks for stability and long term security. Might as well make all your employees freelancers or temps.
finding a company that has even decent matching is like finding a unicorn.
i can't tell you how many companies ive been at where they're like "we match 50 cents for every dollar up to 3% or we match half of the first 6%"
Jesus christ that is a shit retirement plan.
Yeah I get 4% so I am fortunate, but 1% is pretty awful for an organization as prestigious as WP.

Ahahahahaha.
And yet that's better than what most employees get offered. How fucking sad is that?
Damn man this report is crazy
Silicon Valley CEO's REALLY hate people apparently.
But I can order ramen noodles and get it in 2 days therefore I don't care about the bad things Amazon does.

It needs to be talked about a LOT more, but unfortunately it won't be. We'd rather talk about tweets here..
They are literally skirting laws to abuse the employee/employer relationship. They are single-handedly destroying local communities -- all while taking subsidies and tax benefits to build their dungeons in those same communities and hiring those workers that lost their jobs in those same communities (not directly hiring, but abusing temp agencies)...at lower wages, less benefits, and low job security.
Home Depot was like 3.5% or something when I worked thereThis is one of the leading news papers in the world and their 401K match is 1%?!
Im sure Amazon is matching more than that

It's almost like this guy and his company are bad for the country.
As someone who used to work for an amazon warehouse, fuck this dude.
Working our asses off to the bone.

All these tech people want to undercut workers .
