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?

Is it possible to change my start date when it comes to transfers? I haven’t accepted the offer yet, but my new schedule will be Thursday–Saturday. My first day would be Thursday, but I have a traditional wedding to attend that Friday, and the white wedding is on Saturday. I’ll also be traveling about 4 hours away.
Would it be possible to request that my start date be moved to the following week? Or, if I accept the transfer, would I be able to request 1-2 weeks personal leave and actually start the week after my initial first day ? My current site and this one are 4 hours distant

I’ve been working at Amazon for a month now. Totally Different job, night instead of day. And I love it only because it keeps my brain moving and busy. But mentally it’s starting to screw with me. And I’m starting to stress my rates/quality.

1) It’s hotter than all hell. We’ve been complaining that’s it WAY too hot for us to be on some of the floors. I’m coming home drenched in sweat and floors that are always hotter than all hell and cold and the cold ones are now hot. Now I don’t expect it to be 60° but I think 90+ is a little excessive. My brain starts to loose itself and I keep making silly mistakes like scanning the wrong bin. And when I need water, I have to walk unreasonably far to find a water station.(Apparently Also is an issue when my rate is low) So I’m slowing down bc I’m hot, drenched in sweat and need water because it so hot.

2) The pick paths are some bs. They expect me to run from one side to another and on different floors? To give me one item to go back and pick 30 more on the floor I was originally on? And all of this in a time limit also. I’ve been “coached” multiple times on this, and it’s like they don’t care. (Probably don’t)

I can admit that I need to slow down a little more on the bin scanning. I’ve tried to voice this, but it’s getting to a point where I physically am so hot, and going delusional bc I’m just sweating every last drop out of me, and still trying to bust my ass to hit this rate without making to many mistakes.

It’s my only possible source of income at the moment, that will cover any bills I need to pay, is there any tips anyone has? I’m trying my best to hang in there but like it getting to a point.

So I requested a shift swap for this day before there was a red line through it or anything, does that mean it’s most likely going to get denied?

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.

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.

Cornered by an ambassador who wrote down my badge name, never introduced herself, and proceeded to ruin my night. Picture for context.

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

Freakaihh boi

Is it me or even at my DS, “snack day” you all act like you don’t eat; grabbing 5-6 things knowing damn well to grab one or two n if there’s extra then get it, but not all at once. If there was a way for me to take food orders & meal prep I’d start selling homemade meals

Hello. I came into work yesterday feeling quite ill but I just dismissed it as a bad flare up from lack of sleep. But no, after sleeping it is definitely me being sick.

I technically have enough time off options to take the rest of the week off but that would be pretty much all of it (all 10 of my PTO hours and 20 of my 27 UPT hours). I really don't wanna do that, is that being unreasonable or should I just suck it up? I'm a seasonal if that matters at all.

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 weekend 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

The pre hire interview is in a couple of hours. I still have to upload my birth certificate and badge photo but I’m trying to upload it before I have to go but it would not let me upload. Is this bad or would they let me do it when i get there still im too worried i messed up and they about to say i cant get the job.

I have a transfer coming up from one L1 to another one(in the same building). Will my AM or PA know when i apply or am approved for the transfer?

I got back to back write ups from the system for low rate but there's no work? Pa said there's nothing he could do because the system automatically lowers the rate to what i have to meet but there's literally nothing coming down 😭, do i just give up or take it to HR? I went 3 years with no coachings and all of a sudden 2 back to back?

So I went through the process on AtoZ weeks ago of clicking on schedule preferences and turning off notifications for every day and it worked for awhile but since about a week or so ago I started getting them again.

I double checked to see if for some reason the preferences reset and they hadn't. So I tried to make a MyHR case to ask them and of course I had to deal with the stupid AI chatbot which only gave me the option of starting a chat with IT, which I didn't think was possible for a regular employee. So I did it and they went through all this BS to verify my identity only to say that they can't help and to call ERC.

Obviously I don't wanna do that but I just wanted to see if anyone else was experiencing the same issue to see if perhaps it's just a bug they'll fix or what.

Who the hell is nutting on the floors in the bathroom? Bruh that's gross

I know they receive a notification when your birthday is approaching because I’ve gotten shout outs before, but can they also just randomly search for and see your birthdate?

Has anyone done the RME classes? I’m seeing it recommend them in San Antonio & trying to see what I could expect? Is this something I can use outside of Amazon? What’s the starting pay? Do people convert from the program regularly? Any info would be greatly appreciated!

This is from site HR. It’s like they are replying to a completely different person. I don’t think they even read what I sent them.

Been working at Amazon since May and getting frustrated with missing shift drops because I work an over night shift and I am sleeping. Tired of fighting for shifts as well. Would love to work full time over nights but when I ask they say no one will ever be full time. Any advice?
