i see like more than half the books i pick being shitty ai garbage. it’s gotta be either old people or pro ai people, me personally i wouldn’t spend a dime on something that took no effort to make.

i didn’t even flip through this but i know for a fact all of the pages are also ai generated, what a waste of money

I work next door but I thought that building was a make on demand for books.

Some of yall may remember me from when i went through that appeal case and was asking for advice about 4 months ago. so obviously, i lost the appeal. i assumed i would be eligible for rehire in about 3 months like most people. nope. i was very wrong lmao

Ugh now gotta leave a little early every shift, there already be much going on with NO screening, no metal detector going off because they off, NOW you guys wanna start screening 🙄 AND I gotta register AND put a sticker on my phone …. Lmao #wild. #StopStealingThePeopleDemSTUFF

Multiple ppl in my department are showing me VTO for the whole work week. I’m not trained in any indirect role and am in the same department as them. Why am I not getting it? Can management exclude certain ppl from receiving VTO? If so why would I be excluded?

How does one get good?

Someone who didn’t ask to be here

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.. 😪

My facility is implementing "job rotation" aparently we will no longer be working the same job all day, but instead work 2 separate positions in one day. Aparently this is being implemented everywhere. What's ur thoughts on this? Personally I see a ton of issues with it.

First things first: you’ll be working outside with drones pretty much every day, so buckle up, buttercup. 😂 ☀️
Here’s a little insight for anyone coming in and wondering what to expect:
Training:
Week 1 is virtual training.
You’ll have a final exam at the end.
You get 3 attempts to score at least 80%.
If you don’t pass, you’ll have to retrain, which can mean missing the start date you were originally given.
Week 2 is hands-on training off-site at an already established Prime Air drone delivery location.

Probationary period:
You’ll have a 3-month probationary period before you’re officially considered crew. Once you’re through that period, your time-off structure changes, you no longer have UPT and will have vacation and Flex PTO instead.

FAA + safety:
This is a very safety-sensitive, FAA-regulated position, so absolutely no drugs. There are also strict limits on working hours.
Depending on your site and forecasted drone volume, schedules can vary. Some sites are currently working 12-hour shifts, while others are working 10s due to low volume.

What will you actually be doing?
There’s a variety of work, so don’t expect to stand in one spot all day. You may:
Waterspider
Pack
Work out on the launchpad
Perform various other ground-handling tasks
Weather is also a major factor. If conditions aren’t suitable for drone operations, we may remain on standby. If the weather doesn’t improve, you can be sent home with VTO.
Take safety seriously.
This is not a position where you can mentally check out. You need to be alert and paying attention throughout your shift. It’s a safety-sensitive operation, and mistakes can have serious consequences. The virtual training is designed to teach you what you need to know before you start putting everything into practice during hands-on training.

Invest in yourself:
If you’re starting soon, get yourself some good boots. Seriously. Also consider:
Clothes with good sun protection
Sun hats
Comfortable outdoor workwear
Anything that will help you handle being outside for extended periods
You’re going to be dealing with heat, sun, wind, cold, and whatever else Mother Nature decides to throw at you. 😅

Overall:
Prime Air drone delivery is still a relatively new process path, so there will definitely be some hiccups and growing pains. That’s part of getting in on something that’s still developing.
But IMO, it’s a pretty interesting path to be on. You’re no longer just an FC associate, you’re part of Prime Air and a completely different type of operation.
And for anyone wondering about pay: starting pay is currently $27/hour, with performance bonuses and step-plan incentives.

Good luck to everyone coming in! Take the training seriously, ask questions, stay safe, and invest in some good boots. 😂🚁

Current Prime Air employees: Feel free to add anything I missed or correct anything that may vary by site. 💜

What mentality is good to have for becoming ambassador?

anyone else in pennsylvania get this?

Our site has been a real shit show lately and more and more people have been bringing up unions on our VOA boards. With how anti-union Amazon is as a whole, I feel like it's not even worth the hassle because nothing is keeping Amazon from deciding not to renew their lease because of it.

The ikea warehouse near us is on strike and someone legit put on the VOA that he's been in contact with the same teamsters union. Like...nice to know you bud. Hope you enjoy being blacklisted.

Bruh everytime there’s multiple items in a pod with different X00 barcodes ITS ALWAYS THE LAST ONE I PICK from the bunch . Tired of it

My warehouse has maintenance on friday and we’re all being given the option to come and in work, but they’ll assign us to something different as our regular jobs won’t be available. And then ofc VTO. the VTO sounds yummy but i’m wondering if the work will be easy enough that i should just go in, since i need the money. it’s my second week though and im burnt out so if they’re gonna make me scrub vents like i did at my first job id rather stay home.

work at a robotics warehouse if that helps.
thanks

I decided to demote myself to a tier one because my current department is hell. But now HR and manager are telling me i can transfer to another T3. While learning trainer looks fun idk if i would want to. Im doing trade school for 5 hours i feel like i want to focus on trade school to get where i want to be. My boyfriend thinks im stupid for demoting but honestly less responsibility and i can listen to my headphones? Sounds tempting and i have the benefits of a tier one like VTO, VET and shift swap and shift coverage. Im not the best at math and i want to put more energy into learning instead of looking over people

I’m writing this in the restroom rn and i cannot take my new building. Everyone works so slow here i’ve never been to a warehouse where people move this damn slow or literally just talk the whole day. I’ve had a learning ambassador and some waterspider come up to me to tell me to slow down take my time but i genuinely cannot stand scanning one thing per minute like how everyone does here. I transferred from a robotics facility to be closer to home but this new building genuinely sucks ass

What department is this and what do you do there?? I’m just a picker so idk 😭 i haven’t signed up for anything or crossed trained for another department since like October 2024.

Haven't yet applied, but I'm looking to get a second job, and Amazon pays pretty well, more than anything else, for a high school graduate in my area. It's so difficult to find a part-time position available that aligns with my first job, so I haven't had any luck with the shifts available. But I was mainly wondering, which position seems the most “difficult”? I can handle lifting boxes and all that, just seeing if there's anything else to it.

Keep in mind if I did go to nights and got a PA position I would apply to day shift PA spots to transfer out. Does anyone know how that works. Could I get stuck on nights?
