Why must my employer do this?

@Picklebobble2 They do love dangling that carrot just out of reach.

@pattycakechamp Until people learn not to accept this kind of behaviour as in any way 'fair' they'll keep getting away with it.

They weren't the first and they won't be the last.

@MarineBob The joke is that we'd make more if we quit and reapplied.

@MarineBob Some are worth more than others based on how they approach the challenge. How very capitalistic of you Bob. Bring more value and you make more $$

@carpediem they're simple challenges.little do they know that on Friday anyone who is not at $15.00 will be let go

@pattycakechamp That's a shame. I'm guessing your current employer understands what the job market is and is responding to conditions locally.

I'm only guessing, but if the pay raises are different for some people over others, then it's mid-level managers making the recommendations as to who gets what and when. Therefore, I'd do something to make yourself stand out as a better employee. It's the old work your way to the top attitude.

@carpediem It's amazon, you don't stand out. Plus it's literally random how they distribute this stuff. I know, it doesn't make sense.

@pattycakechamp There's always a way to better yourself. If amazon doesn't see it, another employer will. Just don't give up on making yourself someone who gives it her all.

@Eternity That's why they doled out the sporadic raises, to keep enough employees from wanting to unionize.
