Amazon mini-case for practicing application of the Case Analysis Method Background Information: Amazon is a company Jeff Bezos started in 1994. It originally served as an online bookstore. At the time, Bezos was known for demanding that his employees work at least 60 hours a week. In 1998, Amazon had its first official holiday season and ended up being completely understaffed. Now the company conducts seasonal hiring, learning the lesson from its earlier years, but the push to overwork employees is still prevalent. More than one employee has died working at Amazon warehouses, and there have been many reports of labor issues such as not allowing legally required breaks. Case Scenario: Amazon has remained operational throughout the pandemic, delivering needed supplies to customers during a difficult time of food and product scarcity. Staying open throughout the pandemic, many Amazon fulfillment centers were hit with COVID-19 outbreaks that kept employees out of work and slowed productivity across the country. Thus, Amazon is looking for a policy it can implement to ensure employees are vaccinated to maintain productivity and maximize profits while home delivery of goods is in high demand. Amazon made $21.33 billion in revenue in 2020 and is poised to make much more in 2021 due to continuing demand amid the pandemic that will surge over the weeks leading up to Christmas. Amazon has long and deservedly been perceived as insensitive to employee goodwill and even abusive at times. Amazon still, even during the pandemic, demands long hours from employees, which lead to reports of drivers being forced to urinate in water bottles during shifts due to lack of breaks. On top of these tough conditions, Amazon ended hazard pay for its workers in June of 2020, while making record profits. Then in 2021, Jeff Bezos spent $5.5 billion of his personal fortune to visit space. Furthermore, Amazon spent millions of dollars to beat a union vote in Alabama in early 2021, going so far as to create an anti-union website. Human resource research suggests that industries that historically have had medical requirements and/or vaccination requirements have more legal standing in requiring such things as fitness tests, medical evaluations, and vaccinations as terms of employment. Such industries include military, education, medical, air travel, and mass transit, to name a few. Industries without this precedent have less legal standing for medical mandates such as vaccines, although the existence of a pandemic emergency could change that. ....that's it... Let's consider the issues 'in-play', their implications (severity * probability), what Amazon's real problem(s) is/are, alternatives Amazon has, the pros and cons of each, what Amazon should choose to do, and whatever else makes sense to consider.
