It's the most likely explanation, despite Amazon's obfuscations.

He was exposed 18 days before he was ordered to quarantine. Please do not try to say that there is some factual basis.

So? He did not get a covid-19 test, so for all Amazon knows, he's a carrier. There are plenty of lightly-symptomatic people who are ill and contagious for longer than 14 days.

Weird how no one else around him was quarantined. If he was contagious, then why didn't they quarantine everyone he was in contact with as well?

Maybe because it was bullshit and retribution on Amazon's part.

No one else who was exposed to that person was ordered not to. This employee was singled-out.

You omitted some facts, like that he was quarantined 18 days after the contact, and no one else who also came in contact was quarantined

You should really take the time to learn all the facts before wrongly blaming the worker.

Or the company...

This is a rather massive exaggeration. Amazon isn't the sole distributor of goods, it's certainly not too big to fail.

That's what Amazon claims anyway. Best to take that with a pinch of salt, given their track record.

I'm going to guess Amazon has it well documented and dotted all the i's and crossed all the t's

Amazon has a version of it well documented, and they have a lot to gain by presenting their own interpretation of the events.

So does the employee.

All they need is camera footage.

Amazon was unable to appropriately document a man who was dead in a warehouse enough to get them medical help for a significant length of time.

I wouldn't be so sure. Probably well stitched up though.

Based on your username, have to laugh a bit when you tell us to take what the other guy says with a grain of salt.

Yeah, imagine taking the word of a multi-billion dollar company's PR people with a grain of salt. They don't have agendas unlike throwaway accounts. At least in this case we know what both sides' interests are here!

I think taking PR people's opinions with a grain of salt is par for the course.

Re: the OP - this isn't just a throwaway account. It's a pretty obvious agenda beyond just sharing the facts.
