In a shocking move from the online mammoth, the company known as Foogle has announced it will raise its minimum wage in response to a worker shortage caused by a plague of strikes across the United Kingdom.
The decision by Foogle has caused a stir among employees, with many taking to social media to express their surprise at the sudden move towards treating them like human beings.
“I always thought Foogle preferred to pay us in stress headaches and free bananas,” said one Foogle worker, who asked to remain anonymous. “But I guess if it takes a national crisis for them to give us a livable wage, that’s something.”
Other internet juggernauts, such as Amazin’ and eBuy, have previously taken similar steps to increase their employee compensation in the face of growing labor disputes. However, critics are quick to point out that these moves may simply be a ploy to edge out smaller competitors who can’t afford the increased costs of attracting top talent.
Regardless of the motivation, it appears that the online landscape is shifting in favor of workers – a trend we can only hope continues. In the meantime, Foogle workers can rest a little easier knowing that their daily grind might be worth a few more pounds in their pocket.
