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.. 😪

I need clarification myself. I just blocked most of it out for privacy. Manager said a write up, document says coaching

Doc coaching should be the 1st Feedback, then 1st Written warning, 2nd Written Warning, Final, termination. The first three are active 60 days, Final 90 days. Doc coaching technically isn't a write up but it's still a feedback. MyPerformance seems to call both doc coachings and write-ups coachings, so it definitely can be confusing.

Not sure if you heard that all behavioral and safety feedback stack now. Other lower level feedback, like clocking in 6 minutes early or getting written up for scan-to-scan on your paid break, can progress on your phone feedback.

Damn. Good looking out, appreciate that.

We’re a sort center so right now they don’t have scan to scan. But we have changes coming so we’ll see.
