  • Amazon has such a complicated system for taking time off, that I believe is built to force people to work when they can't even work. And this is the story of how I almost lost my job because they couldn't just let me go home when I got the flu, and brought in my doctor note as proof.

    This is crazy. Show’s how these multi billion dollar corporations don’t care about their employees.

      It seems like they care less the bigger they get

    They terminated me in December while I was being treated for sciatica, viral pneumonia, and covid in December.
    They also tried to fire me in December of 2014 when I had the flu (I'm certain that I caught it there) until I was coughing my head off in the small HR room and they FINALLY told me to call and see if I could be approved for Short Term Disability (I was).
    They could have easily told me that over the phone.

    Same in my workplace...and if you get sick 3 times, you're fired.

      I knew someone at amazon who had to be out a lot for medical reasons, and at some point his insurance was cut off because he didn’t work enough hours to qualify for insurance anymore

      It’s hard working a job when you have a serious medical issue, some people really do need to go to the hospital a lot

    Do they really not accept doctors notes through a medical leave of absence?

      No! Because they didn’t accept mine! I gave them two and now I’m subjected to being fired due to negative UPT because I was denied Leave of Absence
