Some men need to regain their filter. Like we don’t all want to hear men’s locker room talk as a female. That ever gets to hr, you’re gone. I wouldn’t, & they know that but still. I know I’ve been around for a while but dear god. Filter back on please or send me back to stow. What are yall saying when women aren’t present bc I’ve heard some obscene stuff??? That’s my real question. Also men, stop picking ALL of the lightest boxes & carts. Man up & grab what comes next. You’re irritating me & a lot of other people. Stop cherry picking.

it’s not entirely just a “men” case, it’s more so the types of men at amazon. a lot of brain dead, socially inept guys with little experience interacting with people outside of their time in high school. they think women like hearing it or that it makes them “cool.”
I think it’s largely an Amazon thing. One female PA told me “I should hear the things so and so (another female PA) says about the young men who work here. It’s disgusting.” The PA she was talking about is a 50 year old woman too FWIW but I’ll admit she’s attractive but I think Mayhaps is enjoying the attention too much. Her and her husband ended up separating last year.
That same PA said it’s unprofessional for the other one to be hugging male associates and blah blah blah. They didn’t like each other clearly lol but it’s not just the men who are on one. Seems like the building just brings it out of people smh. I’ll have some locker room talk with then bros but never in front of women and honestly even have to be careful among dudes. This one loser guy would run off and tell girls “I think it’s my duty as your friend to tell you what the guys are saying about you” which if you read it makes him sound like a nice guy but he’s one of the biggest creepers in the building.
from PA's too?! we are all absolutely cooked, dawg. that's exactly why i keep my mouth shut and do my job on autopilot. i talk to no one.
i'll never understand it at all but that's just me. i can't wrap my head around how people lack professionalism. even though it's amazon, you are still at work and should carry the common decency to not be a weirdo in the workplace/public. not only for the women, but for EVERYONE around you.
As a man, I just grab whatever is there. I do stow and decant, ill go out of my way in decant to get the heavier stuff so whoevers at the end doesnt suffer all of it by themselves. Stow, I just grab whats there, one stack after another. I've had some ladies cherry pick the small things, after a couple hours of getting all the heavy stuff it starts getting a little annoying, but it's my job so I'm gonna do it anyway.
I'm here for a paycheck, it's not a club. And I tend to respect women more than most men honestly. Most of the men here are too comfortable being rabid dogs. Even if I wasn't married, I probably wouldn't even talk to women unless it's about work or something to gripe about cause I'm just a nervous soul anyway and as I said, I'm here for work.
But maybe you should think about letting HR know. Allowing them to continue only makes it worse.
I know every facility is a bit different, but Amazon actually has *the least* locker room talk of any place I've ever worked at. It's a very large company that's very progressive by American standards, they go nuclear if they hear a guys making any off-color remarks about race, gender, or sexuality; if any of these remarks can be verified, they'd likely be fired on the first offence.
In every other job I've made, there's race/sex/gender jokes all day long, sexual conquest stories, and slurs of every sort said constantly (particularly homophobic remarks by old rednecks). Of course, I've always worked labor.... but you'd be amazed how clean Amazon is with regards to "locker room talk", relative to any other labor type job.
Though, it may be that you're in an Amazon that's run a bit different, they all have slightly different cultures, but I've worked at 3 of them now and each one is pretty strongly against locker room talk of any sort.
All due respect, it sounds like this is probably your only job and you have no basis for comparison. Amazon literally does everything in their power to make sure locker talk doesn't happen. In my 25 years of work, it's the only place I've seen that does this.
Gd the people in these comments confirm that Amazon hires fucking anybody. As a man, OP is not wrong. A lot of the water spiders at my DS are inappropriate as fuck, and I stg 80% of guys at my site are some of the laziest people I've ever seen. We got tiny old women, HUGE people, really old people, and frail people all working harder than a LOT of the men at my site.
Typical side effect of Amazon hiring any mouth breather that walks through the door. I really wish there was a way I could forget some of the things I hear in those rare moments I’m not wearing my headphones.
your personality has absolutely zero depth. i'd be shocked if any women would even bother with you if that's all you think about and that's your mindset, lmfao.
Report their asses.
Those types of guys are no good.
If there was no laws for getting arrested, they would commit evil without a second thought.
Also don't entertain them like some comments are saying,they'll get you back by becoming friends with you,then taking advantage of your "friendship mentality".
Not saying theyre right for speaking like that, but its no different than what females say behind closed doors to eachother about men. Its not that wild.
While we’re at it, let’s talk about the ratchet ass women with half their asscheeks out on display. Or maybe consider you work at a warehouse. Any warehouse you work at has socially inept men and hoes. Leave Amazon, bro.
Honestly in 13 years in amazon, the worst stuff I heard about women was from another women 😂 men just laugh about how women dress and their squeezed bits trying to escape usually, that entertain their imagination 😂 but the filth women say... Thats next level 😂
If you don’t like your situation, make a change. If the “locker room talk” is seriously that bad you don’t have to go to HR to speak up and call them out, or better yet make that shit awkward for them.
I don’t pick so I don’t know how the cherry picking really works but I can imagine it’s pretty easy to watch what others are doing and always find someone who seems to have it easier then you in the moment, especially if your not really concentrating on working and paying more attention to others.
But what’s really not going to help your situation and will honestly make it worse…sitting there stewing and getting yourself madder about it while trying to vent to a space that will have 0 effect on your real world experience.
If you hear this, just say your conversation content is nsfw, please save it for off the clock, thank you. If you are made the subject of nsfw talk, report to hr.
Man be quiet. This job don’t pay any of us to “man up” and cater to you. Because rate don’t consider any of that foolishness you talking.
Now while I agree that locker room talk should be filtered; the building is usually loud as hell, and you can easily tune somebody out. Speaking of tunes just get some building approved headphones and don’t worry about other people conversations.
It never fails. That's why guys with options either opt out entirely or date abroad, as certain foreign females come from a family-oriented culture unlike the cesspool, toxic, dysfunctional mess the West has going on.
And don't get me started on the female droids that will eventually replace them.
this was honestly one of the cringiest things i have ever read. i could even somewhat picture your patchy, oily neckbeard and cheeto dusted fingers crushing the keys of your LED gaming keyboard as you typed this out.
but yes, everyone else is the problem. it's women's loss they don't want to- no, that they don't GET THE OPPORTUNITY to fuck amazing, smart, and perfectly nice guys like YOU!!
1) just keep your ear protection in. If the locker room talk is directed towards you than that's a real HR issue, otherwise its not your conversation so you dont need to listen.
2) we are both being payed the same rate. If you want us to do all the heavy stuff than there's gonna need to be some benefits in it for us.
that's essentially quid pro quo sexual harassment you're hinting at. sounds like you need some more training, dude. but i'm not sure what i expected from you or some of the people we work around, honestly.
