's buying lots of love this year ... by giving away $500 million in holiday bonuses to its frontline workers.
The shipping giant announced Thursday the one-time bonus will go to frontline employees in the US of A working the holiday season during the COVID-19 pandemic. Full-time staff working during the month of December will each get $300. Part-timers will get $150. The news comes just days after Amazon veteran staffers grew furious over new hires getting as much as $3,000 in signing bonuses to work the holiday season ... while vets got measly turkey vouchers worth about 10 bucks.
This is the second time Amazon has rolled out a one-time bonus ... back in June it doled out another $500 million to its U.S. workforce. It's bittersweet, really. Remember ... Amazon's caught a lot of flak for reportedlyMaking matters worse ... many workers said they did NOT feel safe from the virus. At the time, Amazon declined to disclose how many of its workers had been infected by the virus ...
$300 bonus for front line worker. I'm sure they can do a litter better for them. Amazon being on top of the world when it comes to retail.
It doesn't matter how much money he has......he can be brought down. karma
Nowhere NEAR what their employees deserve. shameful
Walmart
Is the time of the year for write-offs and to get rid of loose change.
What’s a holiday bonus?
Still not enough
Better than having no bonuses
I work for amazoni have heard nothing
That ain’t shit JeffBezos !!!!!!!
Bezos uses that much money everyday to wipe 💩
lmao
Way to go Amazon🙏🇺🇸
Wow a measly $300 from the richest man in the world who pays no property or income taxes.
Good for the workers.
They have jobs, that is their job.
hows about a union
Man I read Fortnite workers 🤦🏾♂️
Lol this comes after talks of a walkout at multiple locations...
Thats good they do this, but i also feel the Amazon workers needs a raise as well.
This BlackFriday, let’s MakeAmazonPay via .TheCanaryUK
I don't get why famous people just show up. Used to piss me off to no end in Portland. Because my brains set on, Im going bike riding40miles then stop for tacos,&bike another40 miles,¬,hey can you recognize this face,&if you do, AGAIN I GO BACK, to its more likely a look alike
For all those about to criticize that guy I never recognize & he gets offended but my points but the odds are its a look alike, not the real guy, that's always been my point, he just met Michael Jacksons record.
He, earned that like.
These bonuses are also tax deducted.
I'm guessing all the people agonizing over how 'little' a bonus these Amazon employees are getting - got way more of a bonus from their own employers. Me - my Fortune 500 corporate employer gave us zip - $0.00. Add that to the 3 weeks of mandatory furloughs we had this year.
Not hardly enough for how they treat their employees.
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
JeffBezos Where are you Mr. Bezos The world is on fire! You continue to accumulate billions while your employees work gruelling hours for peanuts! Their mental & physical health is at risk! Do the right thing!
Mr. Bezos should pay his Frontline employees minimum $20.00 per hour!
Will it be cash or gift cards? 😂
They should pay more then $15 an hour
It should have been $5000. That's like $.05 to J. Bezos.
That’s dope!
Definitely Earned 💵 Bravo 👏 Amazon Merry Christmas 🎄
Or Amazon could just pay it’s taxes...
