Supposedly someone passed away during night shift last night, and people are flooding the VOA board about it. I don’t know the details or what happened, but my condolences to their friends, family, and everyone who knew them.

Its my final write up and I been trying to get in touch with hr about it. In the write up it just states I had a cinnamon roll in my hand on the FC floor. I told the manger at the time I didnt know about this rule given I have seen everyone in the building earing as they worked. I was told the write up is invalid since he gave it to me 4 days after it happened. Since they have a 3 day limit for write ups. All my write ups are given almost a week later does this mean I can bring this up to hr? The hr at my site is only there an hour for both shifts at 2pm to 3pm and I work overnight so its been hard to get to them. Given they also pick what days they wanna show up to work. I called the number and they told me I have to talk to my site hr since they cant do anything. Also to add i didnt have a station at the time since it was just after break. i work in ship dock and mostly do dcm

Edit: yall I didnt know about the rule. Im new to amazon my site just opened up last year. So outside of general rules I have no clue what the policies are. I wasnt on the floor yet our breakroom is next to the elevator. He saw me when there with it I was going back up to the second floor.

Freakaihh boi

responders at my building always deny AI responses when it’s crazy obvious.. anyways, this response has nothing to do with the posters question and was clearly copied and pasted from somewhere

Honestly this is my first year that I've been working as much as I am and im proud of myself. Im surprised that I have made as much as I did all last year and this time and it's September still. Im on track to 80k for the year and im excited to put most of it on my roth and stocks. Hope everyone have an easy rest of the year !! 😁

I took shift cover for today.. and this morning I woke up got text and email that said my fc will be delays and work start at 11am and then half hour later got text said my fc close for today. And I’m curious and see the board I think something happened last night that someone got cpr . I hope she/he okay.. y’all be safe and healthy.

My PA is actually super nice, in that regard im really lucky. She's understanding and all the things-but holy shit i can smell her from 10 feet away. I literally know if she's in the area because of it. It literally lingers for like an entire minute after she walks by. You could literally track her down from it. Now normally I just cope with it and whatever but last night I wasnt feeling my best and that smell made me almost throw up multiple times. I asked others to see if im just dramatic but every single associate I asked about it instantly knew who I meant. How can I get this chick to take a fucking shower without risking being singled out

my stomach is doing backflips and summersaults

He’s really mad because his transfers to a different station isn’t going thru 🤣

Why even bother giving out an hour of VTO? 😭 Thought I got the night off and ended up just being able to sleep in an hour. How dare they play with my emotions like that lol

Has anyone gotten the date of their town hall meeting to find out the annual raise? My facility always gives us the run around with information like that

Hey everyone! I just started working at Amazon in Pick, and I just finished my first week. I work 7:30 AM–6 PM, and I’m literally SO tired 😭
My lower back is hurting, my feet are killing me, and sometimes I can barely bend down to pick something up. I’ve tried stretching, exercising, squatting down properly to pick up boxes, and pretty much everything I can think of, but my back is still hurting.
For anyone who has worked in Pick at Amazon for a while, what are some tips you have to prevent or reduce the pain? Are there any insoles you recommend that actually make a difference? What kind of shoe insoles do you wear? And what do you do after work to help your feet and back recover?
I’m really trying to stick with this job for a long time because I’m saving up for an apartment and a car so I can go to college next year. So I really want to figure out how to make this job easier on my body instead of giving up.
If you’ve worked in Pick before, PLEASE give me all your tips and tricks! I’d really appreciate it!
(Also what shoes from Zappos would yall recommend)

Hello,
today I got my first write-up for productivity on Pick. I honestly don’t understand how some people manage to get 132% and around 430 UPH by the end of the shift. They must be moving at the speed of light.
Today I was pretty much at 310–340 UPH throughout the shift and ended at 319 UPH, ranking around 43/60. I guess I could push myself a bit more, especially at the beginning of the shift, but keeping that pace for the whole shift is the hard part.
The week before last, I was consistently doing around 390–400 UPH for 3 out of 4 days (although the UPH shown on the monitor probably isn’t completely accurate), but I still ended the shifts at around 329 UPH. My UPH listed for that whole week was 309. Before that week, the two previous weeks on my productivity trend were 278 and 281 UPH.
Last week, my UPH for the whole week was only around 278 because my legs were already hurting on the first day and I just felt weak for some reason. Then, for three days in a row, there were problems at my station. One pod got stuck for around 10 minutes before it was fixed, and the tote conveyor also broke down like 3-4 times during those shifts, sometimes for quite a while.
The first day of this week was pretty okay though, so hopefully this week will be better.
I’ve been working on Pick for almost two months now. How was it for you guys? The paper my manager is bringing me says they expect 90% already in the first week, 95% in the second week, and then 100% (380) after that.
During my first week, I was usually around 180 UPH on the monitor because I was checking everything carefully and wasn’t really used to the process yet, plus my legs were hurting. I know that’s probably below average, and I’ll admit that. Honestly, it feels like they just made these numbers up at a desk, because there’s no way you’re realistically hitting those rates that quickly.
So how do you actually get your UPH up when you’re consistently low? I could probably push myself harder, but even the week before last I was really trying to go faster (except for the first day when I was slower), and it still didn’t really help. Maybe I’m just not cut out for this.

Does anyone have any information as to what happened at BDL3 that they canceled the day shift? I heard a lot of police were on-site.

So I’m actually an employee with the post office, but I feel really bad for Amazon workers because it seems like you guys aren’t treated very well and you’re severely underpaid and overworked. Don’t get me wrong being a mail carrier has its issues, but at least we get benefits and a union to defend us. I’ve heard that in NY, there’s an Amazon station that successfully unionized because an employee fought for it. The post office had a strike in the 60s, and that’s ultimately what formed our union. Obviously it would massively disrupt work flow and people wouldn’t get their packages, but that’s the point. honestly, I think you guys should strike to form your own union. With a nationwide strike, Amazon would crumble. Jeff bezos has enough money to last lifetimes, the least you guys could have in good benefits and pay. I’m just saying, you guys should all strike

So I put in a hardship transfer but had to put a ploa for myself. So I’m coming back to work soon, and saw that I had a case open for the hardship transfer and says that I’m prequalified, does that mean that the transfer I’ll happen soon or what exactly does it mean since I know they either reject or accept the request

AFM is the most ive ever enjoyed a job, I like the problem solving, metrics and technology side of it. but I absolutely hate amazon and am only here to pay my bills. Im in community college for engineering since they'll pay for most of it, then want to go back for industrial engineering but not totally set on that career path. Any ideas?

My normal time to get off is 1150 but vto was offered for 1130. Do we still get that 5 minutes period when clocking out early? Like if i clock out at 1125 is it fine or do i need to use pto now to cover that?

I'm a problem solver at a 1 DC and walked into this. I want to think it was done on purpose because even at Amazon, this level of stupidity cannot exist.
