Reply to comment by LigerXT5 in Amazon Corporate Workers Face Pay Reduction After Shares Slip by brooklynlad

And what about every other year when the stock surges 30%. Is that because of the workers? When things are good, it's because of the workers. But when things are bad, it's the "poor reputation/service of the company."

Good grief. These employees took a job where the comp is outlined ahead of time. It's heavy stock. You'd have to be highly regarded to not understand the risk there. There's a chance to smash your total comp target, but there's also a chance to not hit it. That is fair.

I say "poor reputation/service of the company" because places like Walmart will blame poor work ethics, dedication to work, and increased theft because no one cares to keep the products in good sellable condition.

But yet if the store does great, everyone get $20-100(?) bonus in their next pay check.

Or my favorite that I went through, the store went through a small remodel. They say big, but if all you're doing is repainting some walls and a couple new sign sup, that's not significant. Usually when a remodel happens, the quarterly bonus is slashed, or eliminated. In my experience, we got hardly to no bonus that quarter.

It's not just Walmart. Amazon likes to hint that their poor service is on their employees. Too many breaks, using the bathroom too much, going on strike or mere gossip of it.
