Jeff Bezos' housekeeper recounts inhumane facts at the home of the owner of "Amazon"

Housekeeper Jeff Bezos is suing the Amazon founder for "workplace discrimination" that she says caused her to force her out of a window in his house to use the bathroom.

In the lawsuit filed this week in Washington state court, the former housekeeper recounted "strange and inhuman" facts, that she and other Bezos workers were not provided with food breaks or to use the bathroom, and thus that they were to relieve themselves they had to climb a window Laundry room for bathroom access is allowed, she says.

In the complaint, lawyers for the former housekeeper, who was described as having worked for wealthy families for nearly 20 years, wrote that house staff were initially allowed to use a small bathroom in the security room of Bezos' main home, but that "this soon stopped...because it was decided The maids' use of the restroom is a breach of security protocol."

The lawsuit also alleges that his housekeepers "frequently contracted urinary tract infections" which they believe are related to their inability to use the bathroom when they need to work.

"There was no restroom for home aid," the complaint adds.

“Although the plaintiff worked 10, 12 and sometimes 14 hours a day, there was no designated area for her to sit and rest.”

The housekeeper - who, like nearly all of her co-workers is Latina - allegedly did not know she was entitled to a lunch break or rest, and was only able to get a lunch break when Bezos or his family were not in the building, the lawsuit alleges.

But Bezos' attorney Harry Correll told Insider of the lawsuit: "We've investigated the allegations, and they lack merit."

"[The former employee] made more than six figures a year (in reference to her annual income) and was the main housekeeper"

He added that the former housekeeper "was responsible for her own breaks and meals, and there were several bathrooms and rest rooms available to her and the other staff."

He continued, "Evidence will show that the former mastermind was fired for performance reasons" and that she "initially requested more than $9 million, and when the company refused, it decided to file this lawsuit."

Futurism commented on the lawsuit that since it has just been filed where it is likely to end in a settlement, it will likely take a long time, before we find out what actually happened at Bezos' home - but if we did, it would be a great peek.
