Whole Foods, which is owned by Amazon, wants employees to "donate" paid time off to each other during the coronavirus outbreak. If workers aren't feeling well, they'll be faced with the decision: take unpaid time off, ask their coworkers to donate paid time off, or go to work sick.
At the same time, Amazon paid a 1.2% tax rate on $13 billion in profits last year. For his part, Jeff Bezos recently purchased a mansion in Beverly Hills for $165 million. If this isn't the epitome of corporate greed, I don't know what is.
Whole Foods could afford to offer employees unlimited paid sick time during the Coronavirus outbreak. Instead, they have suggested that employees donate their accumulated paid time off to their coworkers.
