🔥 The Hot Corner

💬 Quoted… “We’re here because a lot of Amazonians feel in their gut that something is not right with the company.”

  • Over 1,000 corporate Amazon employees staged a walkout at the tech-giant’s Seattle offices yesterday, citing a general ‘lack of trust’ in the company leadership. The protest focused on two primary issues – making climate impact a priority in the company’s decision making, and allowing for more flexibility around remote work. Note: Amazon disputes the headcount at the event, stating it was about 300 employees.

💰 Stat of the Day: The days of everyone making ‘‘millennials waste their money on avocado toast” jokes might be over. According to a recently released Insider report, the average millennial is a parent and homeowner with a net worth of $128,000. That’s up more than 50% from the first quarter of 2020.
