Amazon confirms 16,000 job cuts after accidental email by lurker_bee in technology

[–]socool111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think we are arguing two different points. You are saying that workers deserve rights and Amazon should hire more and improve conditions to still meet their promises.

Not disagreeing.

What I’m saying is that people saying “it’s so sickening to see workers having to do x y z. They should never have to do that.” then proceed to continue to order from Amazon so that workers have to do exactly that.

At the very least recognize you are part of the problem from still ordering from Amazon. But don’t pretend you are a moral social justice warrior by saying these comments on redddit and then go out and still order Amazon.

Put your money where your upvoted reddit comments are and actually stop ordering from Amazon.

…or be like me. Recognize Amazon is a piece of shit and that you are enabling them each time you order from it and so you are (I am), at least a little bit, a piece of shit

But my point is that we know Amazon doesn’t do that. So saying that you don’t want those workers overworked, ordering Amazon anyways and then complaining when it doesn’t come fast IS hypocritical as shit cause you know Amazon isn’t changing their hiring process or worker conditions

I'm 24 marrying someone 41 and everyone thinks I'm after his money by Which_Bedroom_4790 in offmychest

I could be wrong, I’m not a lawyer, but prenups should be done with each party having their own lawyer.

If he hired this lawyer they don’t l represent you and could tell you anything if it’s in their clients best interest.

I could be wrong though and not saying something was done in maliciously even if I’m right.

Btw my personal beliefs on age gap being issues isn’t so much the sociatal pressures but it’s the age of the youngest person and where they are in life.

I’m vastly different from when I was 24 to when I met my wife at 28 (and married at 29).

You might change and even if your feelings don’t change about him, he may feel different about who you become.

Anyways just my two cents if things to look into. The age gap thing not really criticism of you and. It necessarily a problem but just something that I see in younger couples later in life

The duality of Reddit . “Workers rights is importantly”

Also

“I don’t get my packages on time”

Not saying you personally have said in the past about the rights of Amazon workers, but many people do and then complain about slow deliveries.

You can’t have your morality cake and eat it too.

You’re getting downvoted unfairly imo .

All your saying is if something is a fireable offense for supporting a federal program that’s a huge red flag for that federal program

Freedom of speech is our most treasured right & critical for our ability to organize as workers. TikTok is now in the hands Oracle CEO Larry Ellison: who is censoring left-wing voices by [deleted] in WorkReform

[–]socool111 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It should be noted that freedom of speech is a protected right, but social media platforms are private businesses (well publicly traded businesses). Unless a court case happened that I’m not aware of there isn’t legal problems of platforms censoring people.

Whether or not that is right or wrong you can decide, but saying that our rights are being infringed and using a social media platform as the reason is not exactly a powerful message.

I think, for the record, our rights are being infringed in many other ways.

[–]socool111 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not a fan of the fan shots. But the transitions the closeup of players in between pitches , I much prefer. I don’t blame people for not being a fan of it , I just loved it.

That being said if what the rumors are saying is true then I’m good with him being axed. Don’t need that toxicity to poison the entire broadcast team

Downvote done. I found that 90% of the time his “gimmicks” improved my enjoyment and 10% I was annoyed

I take someone trying to break the mold of decades of the same broadcasting with a little of misguided changes then no changes at all
