The sucky part about this story isn't that, as you say, "managers don't have the same luxury of defending their side of the story". More so, it comes across as a little twisted to suggest that this dude's anger at his boss is just "part of his grieving process", like he's going through some teenage phase that he will grow out of once he realizes that Amazon's history of mistreating its employees has nothing to do with his boss or his experiences at Amazon. Instead, he can realize that all the stories about Amazon trampling over its workers to get packages out the door only apply to other people. I do like the slogan Amazon should have for its workers with sick loved ones, as you put it: "safe to be unemployed". Classic Amazon.
