Corporate employees of Amazon were asked on Monday to volunteer their time to the company’s warehouses to assist with grocery delivery as it heads into its annual discount spree known as Prime Day.
In a Slack message reviewed by the Guardian that went to thousands of white-collar workers in the New York City area from engineers to marketers, an Amazon area manager called for corporate “volunteers to help us out with Prime Day to deliver to customers on our biggest days yet”. It is not clear how many took up the offer.
It’s voluntary but somehow gets taken into account when promotion or pay raise is discussed.
Yes in theory but no in practice. Another way of putting this is “will they appreciate your extra 10%” and the answer is always no.
Daily reminder that the only way to beat inflation is to get another job somewhere else. If you’re staying long enough for this to matter, then you’re leaving money on the table.
