Gossip

I worked at Amazon since 2018. After almost two years, I was in a warehouse packing and then lost my job due to gossip. There I was seeing a fellow associate that apparently didn't care too much about me even after I'd been with them for quite a long time. I worked for an associate manager that was younger than me and they thought it was funny to get in my personal relationship with this person and started spreading rumors. And started involving other names as well as this person. In other words, people basically spreading lies. And it it was really mean and discriminated against me. I'm forty-one years old and these people were twenty-five that we're doing this to me. I told my HR rep and they fired one of the people because I written proof, but they didn't fire the other people and this went on for another month and half until I started drinking too much to handle with it (along with dealing with my dad also dying  due to a cancer diagnosis right at the same time). 

So it was really "fun" dealing with that and also my dad's cancer and other family health issues while I was being harassed. Eventually this led my relationship to breakup also. I tried talking to any of my managers and they kept just told me to go to HR. The HR guy was a twenty-one-year-old kid and hadn't worked there for very long. He was very disrespectful and seemed like oh, it's just gossip. Don't worry about it. And then I was fired.
