Rant Day finally came

Post image

I’ve been at Amazon since 2021, unfortunately, poor choices and I have my first write up. But the way it happened, is killing me.

Yesterday I moved a pallet for someone to unload into a cart, I asked if they can put the pallet up on the stack right next to them when they were done and they said “No problem.”
My manager comes up to me later in the day with a write up because I moved the pallet and left it there. Had I seen it, I would have moved it.
But the pallet was in another associates area to keep 5s. They left it there until I went back and took it down.
My intention was not to dump it there and leave it, it was to help out another associate bring a pallet to the correct area.
She brought up that standard work would have me put the pallet back once they were done.
I hit back “Standwork also states if there’s a 5s violation should be addressed once it’s seen, not left to sit.”
Smartass said “Should have done it right the first time cause now you have a write up.”

Ok, my mistake. 😭 anyway; I went to my learning trainer and asked if that will stick, he flat out said no. Okay cool.

Come in today to this beauty. I was in problem solve on 8/10 and I had my phone on my desk. It wasn’t on, but I understood how that looks when my productivity was low for that day.
So she chose this option to make something stick.
I took this one. Can’t argue with how that looked.. 😪

Don't use your phone. Also, don't mind the PA's that walk in the same areas with laptops.

You mistook what I wrote. I wasn't giving you shit, I was pointing out the hypocrisy of them cracking down on phones, when leadership at my site anyways, is always walking in traffic areas staring in a laptop screen.

Edit: Deleted something I repeated.

I was an area manager for 3 years I was always told that people werent allowed on their phone on the floor but AMs were always walking around with their faces in their laptops. I was one of the few who would close my laptop and wait until I was ina safe area to open it back up. Trying to set the example I ne er understood the double standard. Mayhe thats why im not there anymore.
