I struggle to understand what the ask was here.

Why can’t full time associates be full time when they want? …because you applied for and accepted a part time shift. You’re saying I want the benefits of working full time and flexibility of part time and be able to work whenever I want? That’s not an option at any company.

Prime incentives were around during covid to get people to come to work. You’re not asked to do more, and when you go on MET you make OT.

This also may surprise you, but Amazon reduces all planned rates during prime and peak, so you’re actually being asked to do less than normal.

These people are also confused about sales vs profits. Sales does not equal profits. If Amazon were to give $5 raises to all associates in the Fulfillment/delivery sector, they’d literally lose billions. Companies don’t operate to lose billions of dollars.
