Nope! Costcos business model is masquerade as a benevolent company that cares about its workers and treats customers fairly so they can sell more memberships while treating all the non public facing workers like cattle and giving a maximum of 2% annual raises to only the most sycophantic employees.
It’s all bullshit, just because the warehouse workers are paid and treated better at Costco than Amazon or Walmart does not make them one of the good guys.
Shit one of their largest shareholders is Blackrock.
Edit: y'all ain’t gotta believe me, just proves their propaganda is working. I’ve worked at Costco HQ in the past. IT gets treated like absolute shit, worse than anywhere else I’ve ever done that sort of work, and the entire department agreed when I was there, but their skill sets are all Costco centric so they can’t seem to find anywhere else their skills map to. A manager tried to take their own life IN THE OFFICE recently according to one of my close friends that’s still there, apparently due to burnout and the disappearance of upward mobility, which is why I fucking left
Dude.
I work in a Canadian Costco.
You get a dollar an hour raise every 1040 hours worked. Which at full time works out to every 6 months. So $2/hr in raises a year.
Next month I top out on the pay scale, after 4.5 years of employment. My wage will be $34.40/hr.
At that point my raises do go down to $1/hr per year.
In 2 years I start getting the long term employee payouts, which is $3,000 every 6 months.
What the fuck are you talking about? Oh, and if need be I can back this all up with photos
What part of warehouse workers get treated well did you miss?
