ABSTRACT
The abuse or mistreatment at a workplace is usually a common factor through which the
workers are facing issues. The mistreatment can be in the form of any particular physical harm,
mental health impacts and many more. The mistreatment can be particularly in the form of
bullying, harassing, or discriminating and so on. In this, there is a case study given which
specifically illustrates that the managers or the leaders of the Amazon generally do mistreatment
with their workers during the pandemic period. This particular mistreatment can negatively
impact over their well-being, health and so on. These particular abusive behaviours or not
treating positively the employees can ultimately leads to the employees leaving the organization
along with their negative health impacts. There were a lot of criticism was reported in the
pandemic period through which the employees are dealing or facing (Sharma, Batra and Nahar,
2020). And, to overcome this particular issue there were some of the interventions which can
effectively aid the employees or the employers to tackle with such criticism.

INTRODUCTION
In an organization, the abuse at a particular workplace is generally a behaviour which
particularly causes the emotional as well as the physical harm towards the employees. In this, the
abuse in a particular workplace can be in the form of harassment, bullying, discrimination as
well as violence and many more. In this, the harassment can be a discriminatory, and the
bullying can be a little form of harassment and the any of these behaviours can generally lead
towards the violence at workplace. In this report, there is a discussion about the mistreatment
with the employees at the Amazon which is generally an American multinational organization.
The main aim of developing this report is to aware the managers or the leaders of Amazon that
they are actually doing wrong with their workers. During the pandemic, the workers of the
organization had faced many issues as well as a lot of criticism and this ultimately impact over
their health and well-being (Ricciardelli, McGarity and Nackerud, 2020). The rationale of
developing this report is to make the workers understandable that if such things happen again
then what will be the solution to deal with such situations.
