This is despicable.<p>Trying to get people vaccinated aside, using gambling to try to do it is mafia tier tactics, and for the sake of all that is Holy can we stop preying on human vice? Just a bit?<p>Let me rephrase the plan in unspoken management&#x2F;investorese.<p>We make a one time investment of what amounts to an insignificant sum to the company (read fiscal speedbump) and market it to workers to get them back on premises to make up that expenditure. A bunch will comply because &quot;You can&#x27;t win if you don&#x27;t play&quot; which is a certifiable dark pattern in human manipulation.<p>So Amazon wins out in the end; yes they pay out a handful of winning employees, but wins in that the all the &quot;losers&quot; now have no excuse but to get back in the warehouse and make up that lost profit they just expended on a labor relations move that frankly, strikes me as insulting in the highest order.
