My entire impression of HR at amazon warehouses is HR is there to onboard new hires and occasionally act as an equivalent to t1 tech support. You go to the amazon worker subreddit and about half the posts talking about a problem have comments like ‘yeah just call corporate HR they’ll fix it’ because onsite HR fucked something up.
edit: Also worth noting, that same subreddit is pointing out that medical leave of absence is always approved by default with 30 days to provide proof so yeah she probably put in for the wrong type of leave.
Most people who have worked at an amazon warehouse will tell you the same story: yes amazon sucks, no not for that reason in the news. Amazon was the 2nd best warehouse I’ve worked at, but that’s more a condemnation of the industry than praise for amazon.
