Useless appeal process

I was fired from Amazon last month. Since then i have been fighting to get my job back while trying to find a new one all to no avail. I fought through an appeal which did nothing, I called the ERC (which if I may add is an absolute joke even before this incident) they were no help and I have even gone so far as to send Bezos a letter who forwarded my email to a Sr. HR representative who recited an all too familiar response of what happened happened.

There is a lot of crap out there about amazon and how they treat their employees. After going through your site, so many stories are relatable. I just lost my job, our insurance, we lost the house we were about to make an offer on after saving for so long and when pleading for my job, all I got was a big fat f*ck you, because to amazon I was a body and clearly they are looking for fail-safe robots and I didn't fit into that box.

HR will not release a written statement of why I was fired. All I got was a document stating that I was fired. When I called to ask for an exact reason the HR representative at my building read the reasoning to me. This reason is a lie. I did what I did for a valid reason which my Tier III, AM and Ops. Manager all agree was the right decision. And others have not been fired for many worse incidents. For example, when I questioned about an incident where a driver that could have died, they could not find this incident in those individuals files.

I don’t know if I was discriminated against, why they lied in my file about why I was fired, or why me doing what I knew to be the safest option (that would not have and did not result in the injury of anyone) was more severe than someone who could have died and would have been seriously injured had they not been stopped by our dock clerk in time.

No one that I have talked to about this thinks it was a fair call. Mine is the most high risk job in the building and I knew that and was glad when my managers put their trust in me to do my job. I put my trust in the learning team and criteria to teach me in and out of class. In the 8 months that I had that role, I have never messed up until this incident, which wasn't really my fault at all, as I explained.
