Why must my employer do this?
Some may recall that Bamazon reported that many employees would receive between 50 cent and $3 raises. I got 25 cents. A coworker got $2. Another coworker got nothing. What the hell?

Find a different job if you don't like it. Plenty out here if you live in the US. No one says you need to sit back and take it. If you're worth more, go out and earn it.

@carpediem If I'd be able to take a $5+ pay cut I would, but the job market is garbage here.

@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.
