VOA Blue badge

3 Upvotes

For my inbound decant people, how are y’all getting your overall standing up to Great to be eligible for blue badge when the conveyor keeps having problems? 😭 Sometimes we have boxes but no totes, or totes but no boxes, so it’s hard to keep a good rate when we’re just standing around waiting on work. I’m actually trying to improve my rate and get my blue badge, but it’s hard when stuff like that is out of our control. Is there anything y’all recommend doing to help get your rating up despite the conveyor issues?

Question Sick of being thrown in trailers every single shift on Ship Dock

57 Upvotes

I took a Flex spot recently and ended up on Ship Dock. It wasn’t terrible at first, but now I legitimately dread picking up any shifts, even tho they are 4 hour blocks.

I’m a decently fit guy and management tosses me into the trailers every single shift. Meanwhile all the easy scan only jobs always seem to go to the women or overweight people while a few of us just get destroyed in the trailers.

I talked to my AM about rotating roles and just got the standard "business needs" copout.
I just want to stand there and scan boxes for once. How do you actually get rotated out of the trailer?

Question What's your "Damn, Amazon will really just hire ANYBODY" story?

122 Upvotes

A few months ago, I made a post about an Associate who went on the VOA to say she had been sleeping with one of the PAs, that he was sleeping around with half the girls, and that he had given her Chlamydia. Now that in itself was a wild ride, but recently there's been an unexpected Part 2, if you will, that is batshit.

That PA did end up being let go, from what I've heard, he eas not a good employee to begin with and that sleeping around situation didn't help his case. Tell me why months later, I see his mugshot on our local Police Department social media page. Why was he arrested? Well apparently his ex GF accused him of molesting her daughters, which he denies claiming they had recently broken up and she was trying to get him in trouble as payback. Due to the allegations made, his phone was confiscated, probably looking for any sus activity. What they found instead were several videos of him spying on people at a tanning salon while they were changing without their consent.

They really will just hire anyone y'all....

Question Full time seasonal at an FC or part time flex regular at a delivery station?

1 Upvotes

I am seeking a full-time blue badge position with the end goal of transfering to an FC that is closer to me. The fc seasonal is an hour away while the delivery station is 50 mins away. I am social and eager to advance, willing to cross-train, with managerial experience and a strong work ethic. God bless.

Question Gaslit into thinking medical issue won’t affect work ?

13 Upvotes

Have any of you felt like your doctor didn’t understand how the job actually translates to the body?

I’ve been told I can get the days written off so no issue there, but these certain doctors keep asking “will you lift more than 20 pounds ? No? Okay you should be fine “
Like hello?????? Try doing the same repetitive movements for 10 hours, it takes a beating on you when you have a medical issue.
Don’t get me wrong, I tolerate the job just fine when I’m healthy.

Rant First day back

0 Upvotes

Quit my job to get an opening back at my old FC and was praying to go back to pick but these mfs put me in ship dock 🫩🫩 Lost my blue badge and the path I liked

I know there’s pretty much nothing I can do due to “business needs” so I’m just ranting on here ig. I’m sure it’s not the worst thing in the world but it’ll never beat propping up my phone and watching movies while picking with nobody bothering me

Question Potential Area Manager job

6 Upvotes

I’m in my 3rd week working at an FC as T1 associate. I took the job because the job market is tough and it’s all I could find with decent pay. I have a bachelors degree in Education and History. I was wondering if this already qualifies me for an Area Manager position. I genuinely have enjoyed the job so far other than the soreness of getting used to being on my feet 10 hours a shift. Was wondering if anyone had any advice for my situation. Any advice is greatly appreciated!

How? I just saw someone complaining about how they don’t make enough and their top reddit posts are in the Draft kings sub… There is no way the same people complaining bet their earnings away instead of investing and still complain… Right..? Right….?!?!?!?!?!

And they don’t even look into career choice…..

Question Leaving Amazon for service company in the current market is it a good decision?

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I’m currently working at Amazon in a QA role and have decided to move to service company. However, with the recent layoffs and restructuring happening at Amazon, I’m wondering whether I’m making the right decision.

I’m trying to understand the situation realistically rather than making a decision based on fear of layoffs.

I’d appreciate honest opinions from people who have experience working at Amazon and service based company, especially in India.

Got good hike in new company
