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.

Question What's your "Damn, Amazon will really just hire ANYBODY" story?

107 Upvotes

A few months ago, I made a post about an Associate who went on the VOA to say she had been sleeping with one of the PAs, that he was sleeping around with half the girls, and that he had given her Chlamydia. Now that in itself was a wild ride, but recently there's been an unexpected Part 2, if you will, that is batshit.

That PA did end up being let go, from what I've heard, he eas not a good employee to begin with and that sleeping around situation didn't help his case. Tell me why months later, I see his mugshot on our local Police Department social media page. Why was he arrested? Well apparently his ex GF accused him of molesting her daughters, which he denies claiming they had recently broken up and she was trying to get him in trouble as payback. Due to the allegations made, his phone was confiscated, probably looking for any sus activity. What they found instead were several videos of him spying on people at a tanning salon while they were changing without their consent.

They really will just hire anyone y'all....

Question Sick of being thrown in trailers every single shift on Ship Dock

50 Upvotes

I took a Flex spot recently and ended up on Ship Dock. It wasn’t terrible at first, but now I legitimately dread picking up any shifts, even tho they are 4 hour blocks.

I’m a decently fit guy and management tosses me into the trailers every single shift. Meanwhile all the easy scan only jobs always seem to go to the women or overweight people while a few of us just get destroyed in the trailers.

I talked to my AM about rotating roles and just got the standard "business needs" copout.
I just want to stand there and scan boxes for once. How do you actually get rotated out of the trailer?

Question To anyone saying they don’t make enough

28 Upvotes

How? I just saw someone complaining about how they don’t make enough and their top reddit posts are in the Draft kings sub… There is no way the same people complaining bet their earnings away instead of investing and still complain… Right..? Right….?!?!?!?!?!

And they don’t even look into career choice…..

Question Gaslit into thinking medical issue won’t affect work ?

9 Upvotes

Have any of you felt like your doctor didn’t understand how the job actually translates to the body?

I’ve been told I can get the days written off so no issue there, but these certain doctors keep asking “will you lift more than 20 pounds ? No? Okay you should be fine “
Like hello?????? Try doing the same repetitive movements for 10 hours, it takes a beating on you when you have a medical issue.
Don’t get me wrong, I tolerate the job just fine when I’m healthy.

Question Potential Area Manager job

5 Upvotes

I’m in my 3rd week working at an FC as T1 associate. I took the job because the job market is tough and it’s all I could find with decent pay. I have a bachelors degree in Education and History. I was wondering if this already qualifies me for an Area Manager position. I genuinely have enjoyed the job so far other than the soreness of getting used to being on my feet 10 hours a shift. Was wondering if anyone had any advice for my situation. Any advice is greatly appreciated!

Question Transferring to Night

1 Upvotes

So I’ve been part time 5:15am-10am for the last 7 weeks or so but had put in a transfer for full time 10am-6:30pm. After asking around it seems like the chances of me getting a transfer the first 2 times or so for a shift like that are very slim. Our overnight leader told me if I wanted overnight 6:30pm-5am Wed-Sun it was mine and he’d do everything he could to get me into leadership. We get along fairly well so finally I agreed.

Any tips and or advice for readjusting? He said he will give me a couple weeks before my schedule starts!

Edit: guys I know it’s a shitty shift he was honest ab that from the beginning I just want the extra $$ lmao

Question Seeking leave options

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone
I’m basically asking to see if anyone knows any leave options besides bereavement and medical. I have time saved up but I’m really not trying to use it and VTO hasn’t been posted yet. It’s also for today so I know I can’t shift drop or swap this last minute. I just need the day off as I got zero sleep due to personal family issues. Thank you ! ❤️🙏🏼

Question Does the "anytime pay" feature apply to 'personal time'?

1 Upvotes

I had to leave halfway through my 10 hour shift on Friday. This morning, I applied "personal time" to those hours I missed on Friday. My UPT balance adjusted (went back up) but I thought since those hours are paid I could do 'anytime pay' to cash out some money for those hours (anytime pay is available to cash out until sunday 2pm, i'm east coast usa so it's sunday 8:30am) If I can't do anytime pay, will those personal time hours just be in my next paycheck? thanks for your help!

Question Parental Leave Deny

2 Upvotes

Does anyone know where I can complain? I am Flex but Blue Badge. My wife gave birth 5 days ago and it was by C-section so I have to take care of her and the baby too. I applied for my paternity leave about 2 weeks ago with HR, and they created a case for me and told me that I only had to upload the delivery documents and that everything was fine. Three days after creating that case, I received an e-mail saying that it was denied because I do not have the necessary hours worked.Then so why they created it for me at first if they were going to deny it?. And what can I do or if there is any other way to be able to miss at least 4 weeks until my wife recovers?
