MachineJaipur 03/14/20 11:56:41 AM #1:	https://www.rawstory.com/2020/03/grotesque-level-of-greed-jeff-bezos- whole-foods-wants-workers-to-pay-colleagues-sick-leave-during-coronavirus/ And I just saw a Whole Foods commercial on CNN. In a letter sent to employees earlier this week, Whole Foods CEO John Mackey explained that one of the options available to workers was for them to donate their paid time off (pto) days to a pool that other workers could draw from. Journalist Lauren Kaori Gurley, who broke the story with reporting for Motherboard, notes that as a subsidiary of Amazon, the worlds biggest company, Whole Foods could easily afford to pay its hourly employees for sick days taken during the coronavirus outbreak without breaking the bank. Instead, the company has put the onus back on workers, and theyre not happy about it. In Mackeys letter reviewed by Motherboard, the executive stated: Team Members who have a medical emergency or death in their immediate family can receive donated PTO hours, not only from Team Members in their own location, but also from Team Members across the country. Runaway capitalism is when Whole Foods suggests employees trade vacation time to address coronavirus rather than offer paid leave, all while the CEO rakes in ~$15 million a year in stocks, benefits, and more, said Trish Zornio, a Democrat running for the U.S. Senate in Colorado this year. Youve got the richest man in the world asking people who are living paycheck to paycheck to donate to each other, Matthew Hunt, a former Whole Foods employee who led a drive to unionize Whole Foods workers, told Motherboard. Thats absolute bullshit. With the amount Jeff Bezos makes in one day, he could shut stores down and pay employees to stay safe. Smdh how do you PR this bad. <cite>MachineJaipur posted [p:935664915] in Jeff Bezos...

Gheb 03/14/20 1:53:54 PM #22:	I have no problem with the idea of sharing PTO. If I have PTO, I'm not using and I want to give it to my coworker because they need to go to a wedding or something, I think it is great that I have that ability. Sharing PTO as a means to address actual emergencies or to shore up garbage company benefits is terrible. It goes without saying that it shouldn't be a thing for literal national emergencies like Covid 19. But it I also see it used in non-emergency situations. Like "Oh John got cancer, please consider donating your PTO to him as his own PTO and sick days won't cover it." That shit is outrageous. --- S** I have to stop doing that," Gheb said, as he lay back down and died again.* - Forgotten Love The Chiefs won the Super Bowl! <cite>Gheb posted [p:935668759] in Jeff Bezos...
