    Illness was punished as a misdemeanour by the company. I took
    a day off sick and was given a point for it – despite
    notifying Amazon several hours before the start of my shift
    that I was ill and offering to provide a note from the
    doctor. When I returned to work I asked an Amazon manager how
    they could justify such a policy, which effectively punished
    people for being ill. β€œIt’s what Amazon have always done,” he
    replied blandly.
