Front Plage - Jeff Bezos, the world’s richest man, is cutting health benefits for part-time workers at Whole Foods. The move will leave 1,900 people without health insurance.
The cuts don’t affect full-time employees, but will hurt those who work around 20 hours a week.
“I am in shock,” said one employee, according to Salon. “I’ve worked here 15 years. This is why I keep the job — because of my benefits.”
The Bezos-owned company said it was cutting benefits “to better meet the needs of our business and create a more equitable and efficient scheduling model,” according to Business Insider.

Where I used to work, a person had to work a minimum of 32 hrs a week to qualify for benefits like health insurance.
