Taylor Swift gave her staff and crew $197 million in bonuses.

[pfitz59]

Where are the Tesla, Amazon, META and Oracle bonuses?

[Just_Vote_Dem]

1. I wonder if she's hiring?

[TexasBushwhacker]

3. Yeah, to the executives n/t

[Docreed2003]

8. Please share for the rest of us here what those "bonuses" were

For the folks doing the type of work that Taylor's road crew has done for the past year.

[Docreed2003]

12. From 2022??

And those "bonuses" aren't for average Amazon warehouse workers either. That's some bs corporate propaganda that you googled to try to answer the question. So again, I would ask, show us the proof that these companies are actually giving legitimate bonuses on the scale of what Swift just gave to her road crew! You can't because they don't...

[soandso]

22. I know someone who worked at an Amazon electronics warehouse

and they got a $10.00 Amazon giftcard and a sweatshirt with Amazon on it. Granted, that was like 20 years ago but still.

15. Amazon

The article is for executive level Amazon employees, the average employee makes about $20 an hour, most are part time positions, standing at one work station for 12 hours a day, sent home early if not needed for a full shift & do not receive any type of bonus or restricted stock options

23. You should be fucking ashamed of yourself trying to gaslight your fellow DUers like that.

Jesus Christ man, did you even read that shit you posted? They were talking about executive level pay and RSUs. Amazon doesn’t give bonuses of any consequence to their rank and file employees. Why are try carry water for them? It’s disgusting.

[Think. Again.]

26. Thank you, we should be able to "alert" on B.S. posts.

[multigraincracker]

4. Beautiful inside and out.

World needs more like her and Dolly.

[dlk]

5. She has a big heart

And a generous spirit.

[Initech]

7. None, they all go to the shareholders and executives.

When Larry Ellison can buy his own Hawaiian island, that's venturing into James Bond villain level territory.

[tritsofme]

10. It's pretty common in white collar jobs for bonuses to be a significant piece of total compensation.

Not just executives, though they are obviously pulling in much much more.

Don’t know about those particular companies, but I would be surprised if they didn’t.

[paleotn]

20. Very common. And the % of comp rises significantly up the food chain.

Problem is, those who do most of the work to make Tesla, Amazon, etc. run don't get much if anything. And they whine endlessly about having to give them a fair hourly wage.

[whathehell]

31. That's why labor unions are needed..

to make sure those "up the food chain" don't get everything.

[choie]

11. I'm available

if you need a social worker on your staff, Taylor!

[Dave Bowman]

13. Workers at Tesla, Amazon, etc are treated like dirt.

[DENVERPOPS]

19. Just wait until Trump and his RepubliCON CABAL

throw out the constitution and rename our country:

"United Corporations of America"............

[Meowmee]

25. The United Corporations of America/ Russia 😹😹😳

[Xipe Totec]

14. A bueauty surpassed only by her brain and her heart. nt

[C Moon]

16. Each?!

[tclambert]

17. Do you think she would like to adopt a 67-year-old orphan?

I may need it after Trump gets through with Medicare and Social Security.

I am potty trained, and I'm a good eater, but I do have trouble sleeping through the night.

[paleotn]

18. Well done. Give it all away...

Make sure the last check you write bounces.

[Takket]

21. in their Owner's pockets..........

[questionseverything]

24. Good for Taylor

Remember the bonuses were in addition to many, many food banks donations across Europe 😉

[BlueWaveNeverEnd]

27. wow... nice

[DeepWinter]

28. She is the sole shareholder

of TayTay Inc. She doesn't have to report to anyone.

(Kudo's to her, she's a capitalist to the core. Built her Brand, Merch everywhere at a premium price, $1,000 concert tickets. She's playing the game hardcore mode. As long as her fans keep shelling out, that's winning.)

[-misanthroptimist]

29. Okay. I'm not a fan of her music

That said, she is a first-rate human being. I wish her continued success.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

30. Swift is an amazing person

[travelingthrulife]

32. I wish she would stop touring, all of these musicians and personalities should stop.

An enormous waste of energy and carbon tax does nothing. All for the ego of one person or a few people.

It can all be done electronically.
