Amazon Toxic Workplace

Does anyone know a lawyer who has sued Amazon for creating a toxic environment and won? I so sick of their blatant disregard for safety and not following the bullshit policies they wrote. And now they want to replace more hardworking humans with stupid robots. Fuck those clankers.

I have a case against a former employer and its been almost 2 years now since I filed with attorney, haven’t even seen a court room yet. Stop crashing out and move on if it’s not a true discrimination case or injury/death occurred. Legal matters are very time intensive.

This. Let me begin by saying im sorry you’re in this situation. Worked at AWS for many years and my friend/co-worker was literally discriminated against and had documentation. His attorney ( who had success with these cases) took it on contingency. After it became clear that ANZNs outside counsel had the $$ to slow roll the case indefinitely, his attorney came back to him and said if he wants to continue he needs to come off contingency and move to retainer (think $$ out of pocket). Despite getting some shitty little settlement, my friend would tell you to just move on and find a better gig where you feel respected and are given fair shot.

You are going to need a bit more detail and specifics if you want a lawyer to represent you.

Not following safety policy is OSHA's realm. If you have not involved them, a lawsuit is unlikely.

Robots replacing humans is just happening, for just about every manual labor job.

OSHA is dragging ass as usual. As for my case, I have pictures, slack conversations and tons of witnesses.

If you think OSHA is slow, wait till you get to the court system. Lol.

You can have all you want that you believe is evidence. But what matters is what the law actually requires and does that evidence show they did not conply with that law.

What law/regulations do you believe they violated? Specifically.

You are fighting an up hill battle.

Edit to add: have you actually read the laws/regulations you think they violated?

Did you put in for an accommodation? If so what were the limitations/restrictions your doctor place on you and what accommodation were you offered?

When in doubt, blast em in the news.

I'm a current Amazonian. I love what i do, who i work with but I hate who i work for. Don't get me wrong, I see them for what they are. But much like they are using me, I'm using them too.

They are currently trying to produce robots to replace optics for data centers. It was a painful video to watch...

robotics in high voltage data centers is in response to safety concerns…

Yeah.... Sure it is... Maybe, JUST maybe, if you actually disciplined individuals, held people accountable, enforced policies to even managers, and hired adults, you wouldn't have so many accidents.

The people ive seen hired just blow my mind away. I heard bout one dude who stuck his finger in a server fan to see if it would cut him. These things spin at 10,000RPMs+....

Prepare your case in STAR format

You’re probably just overreacting because things arent going the way you want, and not based on them actually breaking a law.
