I write Jeff Bezos an email containing this line:

to: Jeff Bezos

date: Feb 13, 2022, 7:37 PM

"People should not be at the emotion of "murdering their managers" and senior people in the business."

Then on Feb 24, 2022 I'm summoned to HR where Loss Prevention voices concern about this line. Loss Prevention, 2 members of HR and the General Manager are all in the meeting. I'm sent home. Then I'm fired by email:

from: Scott, Cameron, Senior HR

date: Mar 2, 2022, 10:43 AM

"This notification is to inform you that due to your substantiated violation of Amazon’s Workplace Violence policy the company will be proceeding with termination of your employment. The termination is effective immediately and your badge is no longer active. This decision was made in consultation of Loss Prevention, and Sr. Human Resource Partnership."

This happened in a town who's police told me "that's not my job" when I called to report automatic gunfire. Democracy Now didn't care to run this story, despite my $500 donation to them before this event happened. They know who I am.

Examples of real violence:

At another facility my manager told me not to talk about unionizing while working. This manager was later berated by Human Resources of the facility.

When I worked for Pursuit, a business that manages lodges in Glacier National Park, I was told not to talk about politics.

"You are welcome to have political or ideological discussions on your own time; however, I fully support not allowing these wide-ranging topics be part of the safe and comfortable workplace environment we work to create and maintain."

The ACLU did not care to respond to me.

Everyone's work story becomes a book we all share the profit of.
