  "We are not anti-union, but we are not neutral, either."

  Lol. The double-speak is absurd.

    …so that means you’re pro-union?

    “We believe that unions are a threat to our customers, shareholders…”

    …ohhhh.

      But a welcomed one

  “We’re not anti union, we just believe that unions are a direct threat to our business model and need to shut them down quick.”

  If you refer to hints of union activity as “warning signs”, then you’re anti-union.

    “Vulnerable to organizing”, lmao. Yes, they put quite some effort into reframing.

  What a disgusting video.

  Greedy, manipulative, despicable behaviour like this is why I used to encourage people to just repair their broken stuff by ordering a new one on amazon and sending the broken one as a return for a full refund. I’m not sure how a person could even feel remorse while pissing in the face of a company pushing shit like this into their employee’s faces.

  A surprising amount of people I know like to upgrade their graphics cards this way, returning their old card in the new box, getting free cutting-edge upgrades as soon as they become available on amazon’s dime. Seems to have worked pretty well for them over the years 🤷

    You haven’t screwed over Amazon by doing that, though. You’ve screwed over whatever poor schmuck paid full retail price for a brand new GPU and got what you returned.

      Sure, but they return it as well for a refund or new item. The seller gets reimbursed in full by amazon

  Unrelated, but it kinda bothers me that so many of these videos now feature one of these barely-animated characters. It’s like they shake a doll in our face to try to keep our attention.

  I wonder if the guy who did this voice over is part of a union… Probably just AI.

  Don't scab for the bosses
  Don't listen to their lies
  Poor folks ain't got a chance
  Unless they organize
