Toxic culture with harassment and poor HR support - Merchandiser Costco Wholesale Employee Review

Democratically aligned public company with language in their handbook that only protects the salaried, company, and weak employees. DEI ruined a lot of the culture here. The amount of politics even at a store level are disgusting. I was getting passed by severly under qualified individuals who had just been hired by family and friends. I was harassed, retaliated against, had my job threatened in multiple closed door intimidation environments, and even suffered physical and mental health loss. My experience with HR was less than professional and my claims were dismissed and I was forced into hostile situations leading to more distress. After a 13 year career and about 5 years of dealing with constant harassment and abuse by management and other employees I was left no option but to quit. I attempted their open door policy and was rejected multiple times.
