Jesus I hope this isn’t just an election promise that vaporises after next year

Ah, no worries mate. Almost got excited for a minute there.

This old thing - a Barmah Squashy hate, made from Kangaroo leather. I clearly don’t regularly treat it with leather conditioner like they tell you to.

This hat is my constant companion whenever I go camping. We’re literally tomorrow leaving for a three week trip through the Outback, so it’s about to get a lot of use.

Are you sure? I went looking after I upgraded and I still only have Assist; Scripts; Actions; and Open Page.

Well, that’s probably because he’s hit the cap on base salary. After a certain point in Amazon, the majority of your income at Amazon is derived from shares.

That said, after the signing shares are yours after the first 4-5 years, you’re down to the yearly grants they hand out, which come the year after they were granted, in quarterly amounts.

Also, if your brother is high up, he probably got more shares this year than usual, as Amazon announced that only certain levels and below were getting salary increases. Higher up only got shares.

God, that’s bleak

How are they retaining staff?

They retain them for the 4-5 years it takes for signing cash and signing stock units to all run out, at which point many people start to get itchy feet.

Yeah - they call it URA, for “unregretted attrition”. Tell me that doesn’t sound like a shitty way to manage your people.

You know, at some point, you gotta assume they’ll eventually hire and fire/lose all the usable talent they have access to, and shit like this will prevent them finding new talent. Until some exec “invents” WFH as a perk…

Cheers! I certainly hope it will be. We’re traveling the Aussie outback - want my wife and daughter to have a whole bunch of life experiences on this trip.
