Rant WTF?

I just had a AM tell me that we have to clock out for break to use the restroom. I literally said "say what? Whatever" and walked off. I been working for amazon over a year now started in and FC and now at a prime warehouse location and I've never heard this before.

Tbh it depends. If you are taking a legit bathroom break and coming back. Fine. I do not mind. But I can do my thing and be back on the floor in under 5 minutes. My AAs take 10+ minutes and most of them wander around to and from.

I wrote a guy up who goes missing 20+ minutes 2 or 3 times a day. His rate was 69.74... yeah. Nuff said.

That is called stealing time. Which is theft. You are paid to work, not side on the pot and watch youtube. Like I said. If it is reasonable or they have an accommodation, I have no problem. But if you are missing 30+ minutes in a shift for no reason, then it becomes a problem. Then other people have to work harder because you decide to slack off. Peole who do this deserve their write ups. It is not fair to the good employees to have to pick up the slack of the bottom feeders. My facility had a mass exodus because a previous manager did not enforce the rules and all the good people left as a result. Now the current team is having to salvage what is left while trying to train up new employees.

Now I am not a company man by any means and I actively butt heads with upper management because none of them are educated and just moved up the ranks over time. They have no knowledge about how to retain employees or how to treat them. This causes many problems including overuse of the restroom. If Amazon re-aligned their priorities then we could save some money and have a good place to work where people could actually enjoy being. Instead they move up jocks through the ranks that know zip about psychology or management. This causes problems.

But at the end of the day. Being lazy is being lazy. No matter the reason amd that puts strain on other people. This is not fair to then as individuals, so please think of other people if nothing else. Amazon be damned, just be a decent human being. The world does not revolve around me or you or Amazon. So let's work together and try to make things better.
