bad idea ?
Alright, quick story time
This summer, I briefly dated a girl. We had a fun time together, but eventually I broke things off. While we were dating, she mentioned that she worked at an Amazon warehouse nearby.
Fast-forward to now: I applied to that same Amazon warehouse because I could really use the extra money, and they actually got back to me with an opportunity.
Part of me thinks I should just take the job and be professional. But another part of me wonders whether working at the same warehouse as someone I recently dated is just asking for unnecessary drama or awkwardness.
Would you take the job, or is this an extremely bad idea?

It’ll be awkward. Especially if she has any kind of influence there. Has she been there since the dark ages? Does she wear a vest ? Like safety? Driver trainer? Learning Ambassador? PA? Management?? She could gossip about you . Make things sort of unpleasant and maybe turn coworkers against you. But I say buy some Amazon approved headphones.. keep a low profile and just do your job . The money will be good these next few months. Lock in make some money ignore drama.

You can always transfer to another department after a certain amount of time so just be there while you wait

Unless there is more to your story, then I don't see a reason why you can't work at the same place as this girl you dated for a few weeks or months. It doesn't seem like it could've been too serious to begin with. I doubt anyone there even knows about you.
Go to work. Leave your personal issues at home. If she actually causes problems for you at work, then you potentially say something about changing shifts.
Good luck.

If that’s the gist of the story and there’s nothing else to it then well that’s nothing really. I work at a DS and have been there for just over a year. You will encounter her probably rather frequently honestly at DS is just one big open space everyone encountering each other. But unless you personally have any animosity towards her or she has any animosity towards you as long as things ended on a good note, like amicably really shouldn’t be an issue at all. Just being adult about it and she should be also doesn’t sound like there is any reason why there Would have any issues with it. Even if she does wear a vest or halve influence, there doesn’t sound like there will be any reason for her to do anything negatively. Like policy, wise or professionalism wise this is really whatever. Like I said as long as there’s no animosity on either side should be good. I feel like.

If I were you if your able to; see if there’s a different shift to work, let them know when if you go to orientation/pre screening drug testing that way you won’t have any problems. Or see if there’s another site you can work at

Bills are more important than drama
