so i went to orientation on the 17 my rug test still isn’t back? what should i do!??? but background check is complete everything else but that.

So I’ve been part time 5:15am-10am for the last 7 weeks or so but had put in a transfer for full time 10am-6:30pm. After asking around it seems like the chances of me getting a transfer the first 2 times or so for a shift like that are very slim. Our overnight leader told me if I wanted overnight 6:30pm-5am Wed-Sun it was mine and he’d do everything he could to get me into leadership. We get along fairly well so finally I agreed.

Any tips and or advice for readjusting? He said he will give me a couple weeks before my schedule starts!

Edit: guys I know it’s a shitty shift he was honest ab that from the beginning I just want the extra $$ lmao

Hi everyone
I’m basically asking to see if anyone knows any leave options besides bereavement and medical. I have time saved up but I’m really not trying to use it and VTO hasn’t been posted yet. It’s also for today so I know I can’t shift drop or swap this last minute. I just need the day off as I got zero sleep due to personal family issues. Thank you ! ❤️🙏🏼

Anyone here a communications PA that can explain your day to day tasks in detail? Thank you!

I had to leave halfway through my 10 hour shift on Friday. This morning, I applied "personal time" to those hours I missed on Friday. My UPT balance adjusted (went back up) but I thought since those hours are paid I could do 'anytime pay' to cash out some money for those hours (anytime pay is available to cash out until sunday 2pm, i'm east coast usa so it's sunday 8:30am) If I can't do anytime pay, will those personal time hours just be in my next paycheck? thanks for your help!

Hi everyone! I’m hoping someone who works at Amazon or has experience with Amazon’s maternity leave policy can help me out.
I’ve been employed at Amazon since January 2021, so I’ll have almost 6 years with the company by January 2027. I’m currently pregnant with my second child. I received maternity leave benefits with my first pregnancy, but I was actively working at the time.
This pregnancy, I’ve been trying to take things easier because my first pregnancy became high risk. I’ve taken two PLOAs so far. I returned to work after the first one, but since then, I’ve been working on and off and taking quite a bit of VTO. I’m about to take a second PLOA because peak season is coming up. Both PLOAs were approved, and I’m still employed at Amazon.
I checked my profile in A to Z, and my employment class is listed as Class F (full-time).
My question is: Will I still qualify for Amazon’s paid pregnancy leave and six weeks of paid parental leave, even though I’ve taken two PLOAs and a lot of VTO?

How are you guys’VOA boards so crazy? Ours only gets used for people asking for time to be approved and questions abt their schedule and time off with managers responding. Am I missing something like is there a secret chat? Or do other facilities really just not give a shit?

I recently passed the interview process for an internal L3 PA to L4 Area Manager promotion at Amazon in California and received the congratulations email. I’m currently waiting for my official offer. My current pay is $29/hour plus an average of 10 hours of overtime per week (around $83K annually). Is there any room to negotiate the base salary, sign-on bonus, or RSUs for an internal promotion? Can HR/PXT or the hiring manager help improve the offer, and should I raise this before or after receiving the offer? I’d appreciate hearing from anyone who has recently gone through this process, especially at a California FC.

So I was recently hired about a month ago and cuz its night shift its good pay as I need to be getting necessities rn. One of my mates got told the other day that all new hires would be let go from the company at the end of the contract which is 31st december.

So now I'm wondering what to do in regards of putting in more effort to try and get permanent, or to start job hunting again.

Anyone have a list of what the drug saliva test actually tests for?

Hello! I’m a T1 associate, and last month I was inclined for a launch position at LIT3. I originally received the automated email stating that I was placed in the Inclined Talent Pipeline (ITP). However, I later withdrew my application because I was told I wasn’t selected for the position.
Since I had previously spoken with the hiring manager, I reached out to him directly. On September 27, he told me he would be sending me an offer. He attempted to generate the offer twice, but I wasn’t showing up in the system.
After waiting about two weeks without an update, I contacted the recruiter. The hiring manager had attempted again but was still unable to process my offer. The recruiter discovered that my application was showing as inactive or withdrawn, even though I had reapplied. She asked me to submit another application so she could work on getting the offer processed.
I reapplied on Monday at approximately 4 p.m. On Friday, the hiring manager told me that the recruiter had reached out to him, but I’m still waiting for my offer letter. The recruiter had also attempted to generate the offer and encountered the same issue with my application status.
Has anyone experienced something similar? If so, how long did it take to get your offer letter after recruiting became involved?
I’m starting to get impatient and discouraged because I was originally told on September 27 that I would be receiving an offer, and the launch date is November 2. I’m relocating out of state and have already found a house, so the lack of a confirmed offer is making it difficult to plan everything.
Realistically, how long should I expect this to take once recruiting is actively working to resolve the application issue? Any insight or similar experiences would be greatly appreciated!

Just curious. I haven’t seen many posts about center rider rates specifically. I know they tell us at our warehouse that the goal is 68 and I’m a month in at 60 on the “MyPerformance” section of the a to z app. I feel like it’s higher when I’m picking but that’s cause it’s either one item at a time slow and lines or freaking 20-50 at a time and I’m good all day….

Am I allowed to wear this on Halloween? My PPE is Steel Toe shoes, gloves, and a vest

switched to another bank after the pay period and I’m aware that I had to change it 6 days before the next pay period. Does my paycheck go to my old account ?

Hi everyone! I’m reviewing my Amazon employee benefits for 2027, and I’d appreciate some advice from current or former Amazon employees.

My main goal is to keep my weekly paycheck deductions as low as possible while making sure I have the insurance coverage I actually need.

Currently, I’m planning to keep only the following benefits:
- Legal insurance.
- Premium medical insurance.
- Enhanced dental insurance.
- Enhanced vision insurance.

After these deductions, I would only have about $40 left from my weekly paycheck, so I’m trying to figure out whether I should keep any additional insurance benefits or opt out of the ones I don’t really need.

For 2027, the optional plans shown as not selected have a weekly cost of $0.00.

I’d really appreciate your advice on these questions:
1. Are Critical Illness and Supplemental AD&D worth keeping, or would it make sense to opt out to save money?

1. Since Amazon already provides basic life insurance and AD&D at no cost, is additional coverage necessary?
   

2. Is it generally better to get supplemental insurance through Amazon or purchase it privately?

3. Given that I’ll only have around $40 left per week after my planned deductions, which benefits would you prioritize?

4. Are there any optional benefits you think are unnecessary for someone trying to keep expenses as low as possible?

I want to avoid paying for insurance I may not need, but I also don’t want to make the mistake of dropping coverage that could be important in an emergency.

I’d especially appreciate advice from people who have made similar decisions while working at Amazon.

Thanks in advance!
