Antiwork

I work for Amazon logistics in the sf Bay Area. One day I asked a manager if I could have the day off and he said yes and that it might show up in the system as missed hours at first and to let him know if it did. It did. But when I came back after my weekend my badge wasn’t opening the door and my account was disabled. They fired me just like that, zero notification. I called hr and called ERC and after two days of explaining my situation to multiple different people I finally got someone to just simply ask the fucking manager and of course he vouched for me. Btw ERC swears up and down they always send a termination letter via email, I don’t delete my emails, there was no termination letter. They said it would take 24-48 hours. Okay. I came in 2…

File this under crazy idea or not…. Say a person with a valuable skill set is thinking of retiring but isn't quite ready to just walk away and felt going part time would be a good way to transition out, both for him and the company. This would involve a flexible schedule and going to hourly pay. Since going part time would mean no benefits, this would be a savings to the company of 30% or more. Would it be crazy for the employee to ask to share in that savings, say with a 20% raise?
