(18,045 posts)And those "bonuses" aren't for average Amazon warehouse workers either. That's some bs corporate propaganda that you googled to try to answer the question. So again, I would ask, show us the proof that these companies are actually giving legitimate bonuses on the scale of what Swift just gave to her road crew! You can't because they don't...

The article is for executive level Amazon employees, the average employee makes about $20 an hour, most are part time positions, standing at one work station for 12 hours a day, sent home early if not needed for a full shift & do not receive any type of bonus or restricted stock options

Think. Again.

Dont know about those particular companies, but I would be surprised if they didnt.
