Shoshana 🏳️⚧️Dystopia is when you get run over and shot by a right-wing terrorist.
Hellscape is when you're run over and shot and still expected to show up for work.
jonathankoren™@LilahTovMoon the oligarchs hate us, but none dare call it class warfare
Sam Whited@LilahTovMoon sounds like somebody needs to take a leaf out of RDU1's book (once she gets out of the hospital from all the other stuff, that is)… https://www.wunc.org/business-economy/2024-12-23/nc-first-unionized-amazon-facility-workers-union-vote-garner

Do you happen to have the source link for this?
EDIT: NVM I found one https://www.msn.com/en-us/public-safety-and-emergencies/health-and-safety-alerts/amazon-denies-new-orleans-truck-attack-victim-s-request-for-leave-of-absence-report/ar-AA1wV19t
isolIt was her fault - "… but an Amazon spokesperson told Newsweek that she had mistakenly requested the wrong type of leave."
As if being run over, and shot, is an excuse for not jumping correctly through the corporate paperwork hoops 🤪
Maybe she requested "run over, and shot" leave, instead of "run over, and shot in the foot" leave?
Misuse Case@isol @LilahTovMoon Golly, I remember when I had just given birth to my son and had to figure out my time reporting for parental leave myself, stringing together three different types of leave. I was sleep-deprived and taking care of a newborn but they could not have someone in HR do this for me.
I thought *that* was bad!
Codey McCodeface@isol @LilahTovMoon I bet she bought form 23-Accident instead of 23-Accident-Not-Work-Related. The latter is cheaper, ships faster (if she has Prime), and isn't automatically shredded.
Doreen32128 ready to rumble!@LilahTovMoon Oh boy! This is probably going viral, so #Amazon will be aware of it!!

@LilahTovMoon for the record, Amazon always manages to make it somebody else's fault when they fuck shit up.
This is the same company that, when their delivery assholes leave things on the concrete instead of where I told them, tells ME to update my delivery instructions. No, teach your drivers to read. My actual address-line-2 on every single package is "STUFF GOES ON SMALL BLACK TABLE BY THE DOOR."
EliteMooseTaskForce@the_turtle @LilahTovMoon this isn't necessarily the drivers fault. It's #Amazon 's for over-working, under-paying, and making them work in dangerous work conditions.
@EliteMooseTaskForce @LilahTovMoon to a point, yes, but there is no physical way to deliver the item without looking at the label, and if you're going to do a job, at least don't do a shit job.
ChookMother 🇦🇺🦘@LilahTovMoon Amazon's attitude to its employees is why I never order from them.
Unionize, folks!

☮@LilahTovMoon @clifff Here is a link to the original article with full details on what she experienced. Her name is Alexis Scott-Windham.
FWIW, Amazon has reversed their stance and granted her time off with pay.
clifff@tonymasiello @LilahTovMoon Thanks for sharing a source. Difficult read but informative.
Still sucks Amazon’s default is to deny what a sick/medical leave request and only approving it after getting bad press
Alan Campbell@LilahTovMoon and this is why I do not knowingly give that prick Bezos any of my fucking money and haven't done for a while now.
martin_fff@LilahTovMoon burn amazon (the company) to the ground
Karl Auerbach@LilahTovMoon This is a Prime example.
🇪🇷Götterdämmerung@LilahTovMoon America: where 'thoughts & prayers' have a quicker response time than the HR department.
This isn't just dystopia. It's efficiency-maximized horror. The system only cares if you can scan a barcode. If you can't, there's a fresh batch of desperate replacements waiting outside.
The subtext is clear: your suffering is no obstacle. Just a scheduling issue. The machine just grinds down broken cogs till they fit again.
Ken S@LilahTovMoon not that I needed another reason to not use Amazon.
(Love how they claim it’s her error that led to the initial rejection.)

Amazon said the company had just learned on Friday morning that Scott-Windham had mistakenly requested the wrong type of leave, and the company is making it right.
"We’ve reached out to Ms. Scott-Windham to offer her our full support, including pay, as she recovers from this senseless act of violence," Amazon spokesperson Kelly Nantel said in a statement. "We wish her a full recovery and look forward to welcoming her back to work once she's able."
entronid@LilahTovMoon help i read dystopia as dysphoria
Laced Salmon Enjoyer@LilahTovMoon "Yeah, I don't care that you just survived a terrorist attack and have a bullet stuck in your foot. Hell, I don't care if you survived the Twin Towers. I still expect you to come in and do your job!"
ArchaeoIain@LilahTovMoon difficult to make your way to the bathroom with a bullet in your foot. What? Oh, you mean that because she had a bullet in her foot they were going to make her walk to the bathroom instead of peeing in a bottle. It is so difficult to pee in a bottle when you have a bullet in the foot.
Searge 
@LilahTovMoon but refused by whom? By Amazon, by Bezos? No, by the same ordinary workers. Who support evil by their dids.
@LilahTovMoon and that's and good reason not to buy from Amazon. I haven't done for years.
Andrew Wooldridge ⛰️@LilahTovMoon how much do you want to bet that she gets quietly fired a few months after she returns to work for daring to embarrass Amazon
Lord HeeHaw II@LilahTovMoon
There are plenty of other suppliers. Affirmative action is quitting Amazon. I hope she finds a job elsewhere. This behaviour is the unseen Amazon price of convenience.

I live near Edwardsville, IL where Amazon has a warehouse. December 10, 2021 a tornado ripped through it killing 6 people. Warnings on radio and TV for almost 2 hours before this happened. Workers were not allowed to evacuate and made to keep working. Building was destroyed and trapped people inside. This was criminal and negligent. I stopped using Amazon after this.

ysbreker@LilahTovMoon I can't find the source article. Do you happen to have a link?

Thijs LucasSo the owner of Amazon is also the owner of the Washington Post and also an oligarch to Trump - what could possibly go wrong
Kevin Karhan 
@LilahTovMoon seriously, WTF?
If employers in Germany did that, they'd be forced to not just pay sick leave but get fined for refusal to accept the notice!
Reiner Jung 🇬🇱 🇺🇦 🇪🇺@LilahTovMoon most likely, they automatically deny all requests and only change it when caught. Still, I wonder are there no labor protection laws in the US? When I am sick, I just send a mail to my company that I am sick. If I am sick for a longer time, I go to the doctor and get a sick certificate for a week or more.
GM@LilahTovMoon Unionize! ✊ This is the way.
@LilahTovMoon MAUA, Make America Unionized Again.
48kRAM@LilahTovMoon ...to a job who's CEO funds the Nazi responsible for the violence. We are so fucked
Baron Vonskinnback@LilahTovMoon fascist corporatocracy...
@LilahTovMoon Bezos owned media have pushed far right talking points & conspiracy theories which have radicalised right leaning minds...

@LilahTovMoon that’s about all which is wrong with violence, guns, healthcare, worker rights, childcare and nazis - the terrorism is the least part, ugh
