That’s why these billionaires like Bezos, Musk, Zuckerberg and others are showing their true colors now Trump is in charge. Capitalism at its ugliest and the clearest sign that unions are critical.

I still can't believe someone denied the request and didn't consider this. Which basically proves Amazon doesn’t care about their workforce, not even when runover and shot. HR over there must stand for Heartless Robots. Either way, I loathe this company. Everything I learn about them tells me its business practices are unethical and exploitative, a whisker away from modern slavery and that’s because lawmakers didn’t want to upset the billionaire in charge.

Ive been pretending to be okay and acting as normal as possible, but Im actually completely heartbroken after a recent breakup. Its painful and really affecting me, to the point where I cant concentrate at work, Ive lost my appetite, I cant sleep, and It feels as if my whole world has been turned upside down. I loved him so much. He said so many cruel things to me and it made me realize he must not have loved me the way I loved him, or he wouldnt have said such horrible things. How do I handle the heartbreak and why cant I accept that he didnt love me and just forget about him?

My guess is greed and cruelty but, thankfully, after public outrage, Amazon folded faster than their delivery drivers under holiday quotas. Hence, they backtracked and gave her paid leave. All it took was bad press to show a little compassion. But basic decency shouldn’t require a social media outcry. Imagine surviving a traumatizing terror attack and your reward is fighting Bezos’ HR team like it’s Mortal Kombat.

Why did Amazon initially deny leave of absence to Alexis Scott-Windham, the Amazon worker who survived the New Orleans terrorist attack?
