EXCERPT:
An Amazon worker allegedly lay dead in a warehouse for more than an hour as his colleagues were told to carry on with their work, according to a new report. Workers in Amazon’s distribution centre in Troutdale, Oregon, were reportedly discouraged from helping a man dead on the floor in the warehouse, with one employee claiming a manager told them “just turn around and not look. Let’s get back to work”.
An employee, identified under the pseudonym Sam, said he saw a body lying “lifeless” at his workplace but was told by a supervisor to “please get back to work”.
Sam, who is trained in CPR, added that multiple workers wanted to help a woman who ran to the person to perform chest compressions, according to The Western Edge.
An investigation by the outlet alleged Amazon attempted to prevent news of the worker’s death on April 6 from becoming public.
Sam said: “I started sobbing and said, ‘I want to help, please.I know she’s going to get tired and need to be subbed out.”
