Protesters set up a guillotine outside Jeff Bezos' mansion and demanded higher wages for Amazon workers after the CEO's net worth surpassed $200 billion

While the COVID-19 pandemic has prompted some Amazon employees to speak out about working conditions, it's also been a financial boon for the company. It reportedIt's not clear whether the protesters' guillotine had a real blade or was functional.

These ingrates should be happy to have a full time job during such uncertain times.

Honestly if you are working for a rich person you should be able to fell rich too c’mon

They lose perspective at $30 min wage. Ask for profit sharing of the company if you want. Workers deserve a piece but this should be based on amazon performance not what the CEO has in net worth. The man built the company out of his garage that employs the workers. He earned his.

Bezos is not really a likeable guy, isn’t he? That’s what I am thinking always when I hear him talking

Do you have another photo pf h? This one really creeps me out.. he looks like a robot turning his neck at 270 degrees 😐

Ha, ha! Robots will be replacing 75% of the warehouse workers by 2025. Get a clue! He's a billionaire because he has a brain and a work ethic! No one owes you feckless protestors a thing! Get a job. CluelessDipShits

Idk what grade employees need what % hike in their salaries. But amazon delivery persons indeed deserve a little hike in their salaries. They are always prompt, patient and polite. Especially amid covid situation they deserve the hike by all inch of it. JeffBezos amazon

Just a little off the top, please.

THIS , I support

Last time I looked, nobody forces anybody to work there.... You are free to go work elsewhere for more money. Even better, start your own company and pay your employees more...?

0Cloudbuster2 Psst! Maybe don't do business with them! derderder

This is yours, and your comrades in medias’ doing. Be more precise and honest in your reporting maybe?

If those suckers only knew how much they could get paid if they just resigned together

Are people being forced to work at amazon against their will? They actually pay well, everyone I know working there is happy. Happy culture/employees create happy customers. Happy customers create happy shareholders.

Ooo lawh!

All these loser commies. Instead of working, they harass a successful man. No wonder they're all poor and unhappy losers. Let's go Bezos! Thanks for the great company whose stock has made me $$$.

Companies pretending to care about social justice selling products to people pretending to hate capitalism.

ok?

Remember what happened to Louis XVI? When the COVID19 wealth transfer is complete, the geni coefficient will be over 0.5!

😆😎 Beautiful

The amount of people defending him in this thread, probably the same people who think poor people ruin the economy

maria_kfz your friend... l’idée de la guillotine m’a terminé.

Good. Eat the rich

Can they set one up at Bill's house too?

You guys complaining but we all know you have Amazon Prime. 112 Million Prime members in the U.S.

As far as we know

LOL... oh the envy of people...

Apparently people don't understand what the fuck stock is lmao

We sure did!

Here's an idea. If you hate him being rich that much. Stop buying from amazon.

He donates millions to BLM. He could have given it to me instead. I’d appreciate him

He is now the world’s most dangerous man.

As much as I agree that his employees should make more money for the tireless work they do, but the Guillotine outside his home is a step too far! It's unnecessarily aggressive and quite frankly unpleasant! It must be so upsetting and scary for his family!

That’s just wrong ! Jeff Bezos got to where he is thru pure genius. Those folks should thank him. Obviously they love AMZN just like we all do, they buy from him just like us all. When an employee looks at their boss & says, I deserve more bc I am the one making him the $$$...?

Bezos closes the holographic screen floating in the air of his jet liner's captain's compartment. The news report had not been clear which of his houses the children were setting up a guillotine in front of, but he yawned slightly and then grinned remembering when he was young...

The man already pays his workers at least $15 an hour, twice min wage in LOTS of states. Try going to ANY entry level factory job and get that! Good luck

If he is underpaying them then he should pay them more. Everything around us is going up in price while our wages stay the same.

So dumb

Because idiots like you keep calling them protestors and not terrorist.

This isn’t a sign the world is headed in a good direction.

Lazy People party all the time and get mad when someone makes billions. create your own company lf you're not satisfied with your pay, what's wrong with people lol

Bezos is all about his ego, he cares little to nothing about others... his workers mean nothing to him

Yeaahhhh yall busted out the guillotine 💞

He could end cancer with that money.

Net worth doesn’t mean they have that in their account, it is a culmination of liquid assets he owns. I say we guillotine the people that are stupid enough to think that’s what net worth is.

The guillotine was purchased on Amazon.

All these protesters are losers. Just crying and complaining because there too stupid to make a fortune.

Jeff Bezos: Paper money can't compensate for lack in values. He will die one day. His paper money won't be able to prevent it. His fame will fade, his fortunes turn to dust. His vacuous persona forgotten. Death will reap him just like anyone else.

That's not how this works...

Why does it look like his head is on backwards...

It will be so very sweet when they get him in that guillotine

He earned his money so leave him alone

In my opinion amazon’s online shop is tripping over it’s customer satisfaction anyways. We will probably witness amazon’s slow decline starting in 2022. Ubiquity and range of goods is just not enough! Corona is just creating a temporary trend!

They want higher pay for a non skilled job ? These people are insane. Get some qualifications so you don’t have to work for amazon

He should really grow his hair out, bald people just look evil. Look at Bill Gates he’s evil but looks like a nerdy dad. That way he can be extra evil and no one suspects him

Eat the fucking rich

Meanwhile, in Russia: Putin: 'Oh, that's adorable, I'm sure you''ll join the trillionaire club, some day. 😆😀👍 -From Russia, with love. ♥️😘' Seriously, these idiots think they're worth that much? I think I may want to trade daily wages with these punks.

Build your own amazon & pay the workers what u want ffs

Catteeya Do they have a spare that could be used in D.C.?

No the dream is not frowned on but owners need 2 remember the people that keep 'their' dreams alive. Those items dont stow, sort, pick, pack & drive themselves 2 homes. Jeff should show more appreciation not by tshirts and pins but in the way 2 really benefit people. Money!

People underestimate Greed.

🙌🏾

This!!!!!

JosephSchanuel

The Capitalist irony, is when the market eventually crashes and wipes most people out, the few megacorp 'winners' that have stockpile all that money will buy everything up on the cheap. They will control the government and everything else and the masses will be at their mercy.

🤔

Omg these people need to get their shit together

Wow disgusting, idiots running the streets these days

Bruh imagine him saying he’s done, because honestly even if he decides to stop working rn he would just be fine. now amazon workers don’t even get paid 🙃.

I never met a middle class (let alone 'poor') person who pays more for what they buy or hire -- like a babysitter or plumber services -- when they get a better paid job/wage increase. Have you?

These people never talk about the reign of terror that followed. Trespassing on private property too

The disparity is just ridiculous

It's called the American dream cz you're asleep - George Calin

weird thing is, he doesn't have a lazy eye, he has a normal one an an overactive, crazy one.

Makes sense. The French Revolution occurred because of this very same situation. Off with his head!!!!

QuareFellas They need to put some on the Hill.

Why do people believe he has 200 billion in cash laying around? from 15, to 20, to 30 an hour. In the end Board members will say it will be cheaper to cut the jobs and transition into machinery

Dude has created more than $1.5 Trillion in value for other people. He literally 'gave at the office' to at 7:1 ratio. Didn't cash in on it? Not too late to buy $AMZN shares - now available fractionally

Yessssss!!!!! (-guillotine emoji-)

And he's that rich because of people ( myself included) buying off of Amazon..

A bunch of losers lol. Worry about your own lives & finances.

creepiest mofo ive ever seen

I don't believe he is worth that much just from Amazon

That is it with the Rich hard paying

Is it just me or does he have the whole Lex Luthor look dialed in🔥

How about not buying from Amazon. The 1% ain’t scared of mock guillotines. Fuck with their money? Get their attention or bring choppy for real.

What an absolute joke. The American dream is frowned upon now too?

Sorry protesters, but Bezos decides what salary he should pay HIS employees. 😎🍷

This is a really weird photo to post alongside the headline. It looks like his head is getting twisted off.

Omg.. Stop it people.. he has that much money because we have all loved doing business with him. Now you’re mad that he has too much? The guy is literally trying send wifi across the globe for you. Do you have any idea how much money he is going to sink to make that happen?

He's so rich, but he can't use it to escape death. What's the use of having too much money again then..

The New American Dream: 1.go to school 2.get a job 3.start a business 4.make money (but don’t make too much money or people will expect you to give it away)

Lmaooooooo

Why don't people start their own company and build it up and stop complaining. Bezos did that about 20 years ago and now look at him. So tired of people with no ambition or risk tolerance and just plod along as employees. Build something and hire others to work for you!
