Amazon / PA

#WADTW is the regular post that looks at everyone's favorite behemoth, Amazon, from a variety of angles from specific moves, acquisitions, fringe/subsidiary activities, new patents, partnerships and beyond over the last seven days. The aim? Be your one-stop-shop on Amazon every Sunday. Did I miss something? Email or drop me a line via Twitter

NUTSHELL: A week dominated with political strife in the US meant Amazon could have had a pretty clear week, 'could have' being the operative words. Amazon ended up doing a good thing (ish), it then a bad thing (PRwise at least) followed by responding to some hefty Chinese spy chip allegations. All in all, not the best, certainly not the worst. Amazon promised to raise wages to $15 dollars and decided it wanted "to lead" but as with all capitalist ventures the money couldn't come from profits and instead Amazon announced (after the blazing PR had subsided that it would also lose bonus programs, including stock and monthly bonuses, that usually boost paychecks will be eliminated starting November 1. Bezos giveth and he taketh away. CNN summed it up; it's Amazon's world, we're just living in it.
