Answer the following question in a short paragraph or two. Make your answer as complete and as clear as possible. On October 24th 2017, an employee working for Amazon at a Texas Fulfillment Center injured her back due to a broken guard rail that was supposed to protect her from falling inventory. Amazon refused to take any responsibility for the injury at the time and denied that the broken equipment was responsible. This is not the only incident of Amazon failing to consider the welfare of its employees. Amazon often does not pay for air conditioning for its warehouses staffed by human workers (while the warehouses staffed by robots must have AC or the robots will cease to function). And during the Covid-19 pandemic, Amazon refused to allow paid sick days for workers who were forced to quarantine due to exposure to the virus. What would a Virtue Ethicist say of this history of behaviour by Amazon?
