To be fair, the $20 an hour is nothing like that in reality if they have to pay for gas, insurance and car repairs. In the courier industry, independent owner operators get paid by the delivery with a bonus for successful on time deliveries at premium speeds, also bonus for weight above a certain minimum (40 pounds when I was doing it).
In one calendar year I was paid a gross of $65,000 (Cdn) and had a net of about $18,000 without fudging the numbers. You could easily be paying $200-$300 for gas in a week to keep on the road, mandatory insurance of $70 a month over top of car insurance (which you would get anyway) and inevitable frequent car maintenance and repairs. And you spend a small fortune on coffee and snacks, it’s a high energy job especially in hot weather.
I would think $20 an hour was chump change for these part timers, they will net about $10 if they are lucky.
Am I the only one that sees a phallic symbol aimed for a hole in their logo?
My nephew with an associate’s degree has climbed the ladder at Amazon from stock boy to management and a very nice salary in 3 years.
He didn’t cry when he was making $12 an hour. He just worked hard and now is making more than double that plus benefits. Plus some Amazon shares that are at 1700 now. As an added benefit he met a Jamaican girl who is quite pretty and seems pretty conservative. I don’t care what color a girl is as long as she’s pretty and conservative :-)
