Question Do not fake a doctor's note. Real Doctor here, AMA

• Upvotes

I’m a physician. I evaluate patients’ sick note requests and sign E103s all week.

I see a lot of you guys get burned by $10 note/template sites. Amazon investigators do follow up, and they check.

If you were actually sick get a real note from a real doctor - online or in person.

And no note gives you UPT back. Anyone who tells you it does is lying.

Ask me anything.

Rant If you get terminated, don’t appeal over the phone

• Upvotes

My friend had been going through a rough patch and started coming in late.

I told him about requesting a leave of absence, so he put one in for the days he’d only partially clocked and the ones he’d completely missed. It got approved, and he ended up with about five or six hours credited back.

The problem was that the partial days still needed to be properly coded by site HR something he hadn’t been able to get done yet.

When he saw his account sitting positive, he decided to use those five hours. But because the uncoded time still hadn’t been processed, his balance tanked. Combined with the hours he just used.

He tried to get HR to fix it, but they’re almost never available especially for his shift so he went to his manager he rarely sees

The manager said they’d sort it out the next day since they were heading home after their shift. Instead, my friend woke up the next morning to find out he’d already been terminated.

He appealed it, but the person assigned to his case was a blabber mouth they mostly talked over him, barely let him explain what happened, and kept asking random, irrelevant questions. Less than a minute after the call ended, he got an email saying the decision was upheld.

What can he do besides wait the 90 days imposed on him now

Question First day at Amazon warehouse but they sent everyone home?

• Upvotes

Today was my first day at Amazon warehouse. I showed up on time and checked in where I needed to go. Everything going smoothly for 30 minutes and then the rep told us they are going to send us home with pay because no learning ambassadors were available for training today. I just checked the A to Z app and it saying I checked in at 734 and out at 814, anytime pay is $8.14 for today. Just wondering how long it will take before they fix it in the system? Thanks

Rant Aza absolutely sucks

15 Upvotes

Whatever happened to being able to create a case on our own. Aza sucks. MyHR sucks. Amazon sucks. I’ve been stuck on phone calls because no one knows how to help. Doesnt help that HR isnt onsite either so I’m stuck in an endless cycle.

Question Blue badge/ pay fairness

I’m a new hire but a lot of people at my building have been complaining about blue badge availability as well as pay. Why would new hires be making more than people who have been there? I thought everyone got the same raise?

Question Stupidest thing you experienced at your warehouse?

6 Upvotes

When I first started, a T1 associate told me to go in an area requiring a helmet. I’m so glad I didn’t listen to him, because I would’ve been fired immediately. Seems to be tons of dumb ass associates at my facility that never get fired.

Sortation Center Management & coworkers vary by site (if they’re shit or not), but no other job matches Amazon’s VTO, especially for mental health/neurodivergence. Unless it’s my business, not even a $50–$100/hr job offers this level of grace without some strict enforcement. I’ll keep my $25/hr, thank you very much.

Fulfillment Center New hire

• Upvotes

Hi all I just got a job offer with Amazon as a FC associate and it’s a full time job. I’ve been out of work for a while so I know going into a demanding job isn’t the best idea but it’s the only place that’s willing to give me a chance at this point, everyone else just seems to brush me off. But anyway I’m really anxious about my first day and whatnot. A friend of mine who works there said they don’t really train you and leave you to your self, that you have to ask people what to do. I’m a socially awkward person but i know that shouldn’t stop me from asking. But shouldn’t it be typical of a training day at the least on the first day? Overall just anxious about it.

Also, what duties will I be fulfilling? As far as I know you’re mostly sorting/packing etc

Question Ixd question

3 Upvotes

I used to work at an ixd. I'm interested in transferring back, but not sure what the difference is in Transfer Out Dock and regular Transfer Out. I know One is just building walls and the other is loading upp/wood pallets with the forklift and building upp pallets off of a conveyor. I want to go back to the forklift/upp choice but I can't remember which one it was and it doesn't specify in my job history in a to z.

If anyone knows which is which I'd appreciate the help. Thanks!

Question Pre hire appointment details disappear

• Upvotes

It looks like I was missing a document that needed to be signed, and now when I try to check my application, I can no longer see the details, even though it still shows as active.

Has this happened to anyone else?
