So long story short on June 21st a co worker gave me a hug and planted a kiss on my neck and I had to report it to ERC to make a sexual harassment case. I asked if I saw him again what was I supposed to do because since I switched to back half mornings and he was still on back half nights on the same schedule Wednesday-Saturdays with me I’d still see him for 1-1.5 hours between our shifts because he was an RME and I was a Picker.

Then on Fourth of July I picked up an overnight shift and I told my manager (both my pick manager for nights and my old stow manager who knew about the case) that I saw him in the robotics cage and I might need to be moved but I didn’t think he saw me.

Turns out he found me later on my Pick station when barely anyone was around and proceeded to walk into my pick station behind the barrier and give me another involuntarily hug and planted a kiss on my forehead.

And before any of you say “well why didn’t you stop him?” It was because I’ve been sexually abused in my child hood and still suffer through feeling powerless and freezing up in those moments so I couldn’t.

Long story short I immediately found my pick manager and he walked me to the main office to make a written statement with HR and he said he put me on a paid temporary leave of suspension for my safety until the case was finished and processed.

He took my badge and walked me out and I am scared. I’ve never been on a paid leave of suspension and I don’t even know how long this case is going to take.

Do y’all think they’ll try to fire me?

UPDATE: I called HR and they recommended I go to PXT on my site because as shameful as it is unless you’re my manager I do not make it a habit to know your name. So without viable information there’s not a lot that can be done at that point but I’m still going to call.

So I have this person that works in RME. I get along with him pretty well and he’s always been a hugger so am I because I do the same with everybody so I never really thought of it. I could tell that he had a small crush on me even though he was in his 40s and I’m in my 20s which I know is weird but I feel like everybody at Amazon has a connection with everybody because of you know night shift. But today was a little bit different because when he gave me a hug today instead of a short one, he gave me a longer one and he lightly kissed my neck like almost in a trying to be flirty way, but it kind of made me uncomfortable. He walked away immediately so I couldn’t really address it and I don’t work on the same shift with him anymore so I’m wondering should I address it or should I just leave it alone?
