Can’t wait for my $2.75 from the class action settlement
$2.06 after lawyer fees.
It’ll come on an Amazon gift card
Seriously. It’s not even worth my time to claim them anymore.
Its not about the money, its about punishing Amazon.
Can confirm. Something I couldn’t admit to on Reddit but idgaf here: am an Amazon employee. Not a driver or FC worker either, white collar desk jockey. Internally Amazon is forcing all departments to come up with at least 250k each in cost savings by years end all in an effort to pad their bottom fucking line (and you better believe not a single one of us is going to see a goddamn dime of those savings). All the while still making profit every quarter but telling employees they don’t consider inflation when doing annual raises and making us do the work of multiple people. It’s fucked up the sheer amount of greed that corporations are going through right now basically cannibalizing themselves to earn more profit every quarter.
Amazon is the biggest shitshow I’ve ever seen.
AWS is pretty awesome though, to the extent that the greater Amazon doesn’t fuck with em. You should try switching over.
@botlt_test I don’t envy you. I don’t work directly for Amazon but for a company that does business for Amazon (white collar desk jockey style as well) and the insane actions of Amazon have directly ruined many aspects of our company as well, but because they pay the bills our management will do anything to please them. WTF are yall doing over there so that everything is last minute urgent due yesterday?
It also said Amazon put customers seeking to cancel through a cumbersome “four-page, six-click, fifteen option” process, which the FTC said was known internally as “Iliad” in a nod to the Greek epic about the “long, arduous Trojan War”.
At least we get to live in a dystopian hellscape that respects the classics.
Kinda fitting that they went for the Iliad and not the Odyssey. And by fitting, I mean fitting with the intelligence level of the average MBA.
The Odyssey was actually about a long, arduous journey. The Iliad was just like, a few months of the Trojan War, and it was action-packed. Dumb fucks never read either of them, though.
I’m savvy enough to know that automatic renewal is activated whenever you accept those “2 days of prime, free!” offers when you’re checking out, but the messages don’t mention that, and Amazon is smart enough to know that some people won’t intuit it, so it’s obviously a deliberate scam.
Its built into the subscription model. I know, because I’ve worked at a company that implemented one and I fought tooth and nail for them to follow their company guidelines of transparency. They never did
The surprise of no one.
Amazon and every other online subscription not offered through the Apple App Store.
Why apple in particular?
Android is just as easy, you just open the play store first instead of settings

I wish this was a criminal thing, just the entire board of directors & CEO liable for all this shit.
