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

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.

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.

Hello, I have a question about astral projection. I started to get interested in this a little while after my mum passed in april. I thought I may be able to see her and speak with her if I managed to achieve astral projection. Since this interest, every time i sleep on my back I go into sleep paralysis. However, I cant progress into astral projection because it is very scary for me as I feel like I'm suffocating when this happens. I panic and force myself to wake up. This only ever happened about once a year before this. It sometimes lasts a long time. This has happened about 3 times per week since my mum died, as mentioned on a previous post. I no longer try to go into it anymore(due to the suffocating feeling), but it still happens. I read that sleep paralysis is the pathway to astral projection. Why has this started to happen so frequently since simply taking an interest in it? Is this connected to the afterlife? I am concerned about it as I now cannot seem to stop this happening. Could it be my mum trying to communicate? Im asking due to more knowledge around this in this group.

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.
