Stress & overwork | Amazon HR worker claims doctor told her to QUIT over gruelling demands

A former Amazon HR employee has come forward with a series of shocking allegations against the firm’s people function.

In an interview with Jacobin Magazine, the anonymous whistle-blower spoke of a series of wrongdoings they experience while working for the tech and retail giant’s HR department.

The shocking claims include: having to talk down suicidal staff, workers’ disability benefits being terminated without notice, and staff on annual leave being sacked after faulty IT systems led bosses to think they were absent without notice.

The employee, who worked for the firm for a year but has since left the role, was tasked with handling employee phone call queries at the company’s Employee Resource Center.
