    Oh dear - wages go up and signing bonuses.

    https://www.dailymail.co.uk/money/ne...e-workers.html

    Amazon is offering to pay up to £1,000 joining bonuses for new warehouse workers in the UK as it looks to meet a boom in demand and battle a worsening shortage of staff.

    The online giant is advertising for 'urgently needed' warehouse pickers and packers across the country, offering hourly rates of up to £11.10 an hour for daytime shifts, rising to £22.20 an hour for overtime.
    Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.

      You lose the bonus if you have to use the restroom during your shift.

        I suspect you are 100% right.

          The fact they ae offering it is significant.

          All the time labour is short then employee rights grow.

            The NHS is seeing the first sustained fall in GP numbers in the UK for 50 years, the BBC can reveal.

              Aren't you the same Vetran than argued the opposite last week on a thread about a garden centre?

                Sounds like you already are confused, lay off the sauce old chap.

                The garden centre was paying less than Lidl and complaining about not being able to get staff.

                I suggested if they raised the wages they would find people.

                Amazon are considering raising wages to get staff. I see this as a turning point where staff get paid a reasonable wage.

                The Oh Dear was sarcastic, a few remainers feel paying rubbish wages stopping because EU workers went home is an issue.

                  on the other thread you argued that they should cut benefits to force people into work. Wouldn't that artificially undermine the market and push people in corners because... what else can you do? Starve?

                  what kind of governmental bot are you?
