Comment on Amazon worker who was ran over and shot during NO attack denied medical leave.

shred amazon all you want–they nearly always deserve it… but the article from the local paper is incomplete.
we don’t know if the worker is even eligible for leave under fmla or from amazon employee benefits, nor do we know why the workplace denied the request.
Ah yes, the classic excuse. “The company isn’t legally required to give a shit. so it’s not a problem”.
It’s not about what they’re legally required to do. They may not be required to, they are not prevented from doing so. It’s about the fact the company is a shitty place to work and will fuck employees over in every way possible whenever given the chance. Without exception.
“They might not have filed the correct paperwork prior to being run over and shot” is such a wild take.

There’s a god damn bullet in her fucking foot! She should be eligible for fucking leave.

Counterpoint: every worker ought to be eligible for FMLA and employer benefits, from day 1.
Die in a fire, shitbag.

Should it matter? Amazon threatened to fire her because she was run over and shot. Her FMLA eligibility shouldn’t be a factor. Sure, Amazon may be legally allowed to fire her, but they’re still dirty cunts for doing it and deserve every ounce of scorn aimed their way.
Maybe instead of slobbing the boss’ knob because “they’re legally allowed to do this shitty thing”, consider demanding better worker protections.
Ruling class chud.

The end result was someone feeling they had to work with a bullet in their foot. Regardless of whatever rules are in place, everything failed that person.
