A former Amazon employee with Asperger's syndrome claimed he was bullied and abused by co-workers at a warehouse in San Bernardino, and the company did nothing when he spoke up. Co-workers called him "retard," "a waste of life," and one person asked why he was working there "if you can't do the job?" according to a lawsuit filed in court. A jury awarded the worker, Michael Kopp, $1.2 million earlier this month after finding that Amazon intentionally inflicted emotional distress on the former employee when its human resources department failed to stop the harassment. "Sadly what ended up happening is HR did nothing for months," said Raymond Babaian, an attorney who represented Kopp. "As a result, [Kopp's] fear and anxiety increased."
