An Amazon warehouse has informed workers that they can write a letter to Peccy, the company's orange blob mascot, if they are facing financial hardship during the holidays. The initiative, specific to the SWF1 warehouse in New York, offers the possibility of fulfilling some holiday wishes. However, one employee criticized the program, suggesting that Amazon should prioritize providing a living wage instead. The company, which has recorded strong earnings, has faced ongoing complaints about low wages and challenging working conditions in its warehouses.
