This is plain disgusting. My wifes employer (not Amazon) has a similar concept to reward bonuses for teams and this causes a lot of mobbing against her and her colleague (also mother). The reason less bonus got paid out were sick leaves, well they don't call it that way, but it boils down to that.

Reason for her/our sick leaves are not that we are sick, but kids < 4 years are just more often sick when going through all the various childhood diseases. Kindergarten will phone you and you have to pick up your sick kid within an hour. Then one of us has to stay at home and watch the sick kid until the doctor says it's ok to put them back in kindergarten.
