Amazon will investigate gender discrimination at cloud unit after employee complaints

The charges mirror Warner’s claims in her lawsuit, which was filed the same day as four other current and former Amazon employees sued the company for alleged racial and gender discrimination. Warner’s male managers and colleagues referred to her with an obscene image, as well as an “idiot” and “nobody,” she alleged in her suit. She also alleges that she was hired and held positions below her level of experience because of discrimination, and that it resulted in “millions of dollars” in lost income. Amazon fired Warner last month, a move she called retaliation.
