Jeff Bezos, founder of Amazon, has been hit with a civil suit by a former housekeeper who alleges that she, and others employed to work at his properties, suffered harmful and discriminatory treatment.
According to Mercedes Wedaa, who was hired in the fall of 2019, she was instructed to perform her duties "without being seen," and was often denied access to bathrooms for such an extensive period of time that she would often contract painful urinary tract infections. In addition to the physical harm endured while working for Bezos, she alleges that his subordinates showed discriminatory favoritism for the white workers staffed at his properties over those of other ethnicities, according to NBC News.
