  • I used to buy a ton of Amazon stuff. Mostly art supplies, pet supplies, clothes, novelties I didn't need.

    One day, I was browsing Reddit and I was like-- "what is this boycott thing all about?" and then I started by not ordering for one whole day!

    Then one whole week!

    Then one whole month!

    Anyway, I ended up cancelling my Prime subscription, deleting my Amazon account completely, and cancelling my Prime Store credit card.

    Then at work, for Valentine's Day, we each received a $200 dollar Amazon gift card as an employee appreciation gift.

    I spoke up and said that I would prefer to receive cash or nothing at all because my values did not align with Amazon-- which caused many of my coworkers to decline theirs as well.

    It was so perplexing to leadership, that they decided that going forward they are just going to give us a $200 cash bonus on our paychecks

    So anyways, that's the impact one of these "pointless" boycott posts had on me.
