Amazon received plenty of positive press when Jeff Bezos announced he would be increasing minimum wage to $15, but like many great deals, it came with a catch: the company divulged just days later it had terminated monthly bonuses and stock awards for hourly workers. Amazon's warehouse employees now claim they will earn even less.
Some of Amazon's warehouse employees say they will make less as a result of this change. The Guardian said warehouse workers currently receive one Amazon share (worth $1,959) at the end of every year, on top of another single share reward every five years. Yahoo News noted that warehouse workers can earn up to 8 percent of their monthly income every month, which could be as much as $3,000 a year for some workers.
