Re: Bit of a non-story
There's a lot of people who are not taking on board the rules - and note that they are indeed rules - about not attending work especially when it comes to endangering others.
Do I believe Amazon gave this person a warning not to come in? Yes, because given the current situation, that's very commonplace. Do I believe the employee decided to ignore it? Again yes, because there's plenty of other people doing the same thing. It's a distinct possibility.
Granted they may not have liked the cut of his jib and decided this was a "convenient" way to let him go. But on balance of probabilities it sounds like what Amazon said happened is entirely plausible and that may be the whole story. Sorry that this doesn't make it interesting for people who like conspiracies and to try and come up with a different side to absolutely any set of circumstances.
