This report from Wired features interviews with Amazon employees and the first aid staff in the company’s in-warehouse medical centers, who claim Amazon discourages injured workers from visiting outside doctors. Instead, hurt employees are reportedly treated in Amazon’s medical centers and then reassigned to a less intensive position. Former and current medical staff at Amazon tell Wired that “they faced direct pressure from managers to keep the number of workers they sent to doctors low” and that they needed approval from a manager if a worker requested to see one.
