A Pregnant Amazon Employee's Struggle

A 20-year-old Amazon employee, Genesis, who worked as a "stower" at a warehouse in Southern California, faced difficulties after requesting accommodations for her pregnancy.

"You're just a number to them."

Genesis, who was prone to fainting due to a medical condition, provided a doctor's note to her employer, requesting regular breaks, limited bending and twisting, and lifting no more than 20 pounds at a time.

However, Genesis claims that her manager wrote her up for sitting down and taking breaks, despite her medical needs.
