Something different appeared in my mailbox this week. At first glance, I thought it was another instance of Verizon throwing away money trying to lure me into their technological hell, but no—a different megalopoly:
Amazon employs 45,000 Virginians? I thought that HQ2 was not the economic boon that the pols and techbros promised? I can’t imagine. Wait—hourly employees, you say? So I turned it over:
Yeah, no, dawg—that’s a hard nope.
But I wonder what it says
about our economy that a company notorious for sweatshop conditions, below-subsistence
pay and general disdain for the employees who make the magic happen thinks they
can trawl for suckers with expectations of success. It’s not even the holidays.
