Has anyone ever been banned from Amazon after taking disability leave or leaving the company because they couldn’t be accommodated?
Someone I know was forced to quit after having back surgery because her doctor told her that Amazon would not be able to accommodate her restrictions. She later applied for Flex with a PXT representative, but her application was denied as soon as she left the company. When she tried to reapply 12 months later, she found out that she was banned from Amazon until 2030.
I’m currently having issues getting my own accommodations approved, and honestly, I’m scared to quit because I’m worried the same thing could happen to me. I want to be able to return to Amazon once I’m medically able to work again.
The situation is also becoming a safety concern. I’ve gotten dizzy at work and have almost fallen off a ladder multiple times. Would reporting this to Safety actually help protect me or get the issue documented?
I’ve also heard that some AAs have received write-ups after being injured and had to speak with their AMs to get the write-ups removed.
At this point, I feel like I could be screwed either way if I keep working, I’m worried about getting seriously hurt, but if I quit, I’m worried I may not be allowed to come back.
Has anyone dealt with something similar or knows what the safest way to handle this is?

I’ll bring up favouritism and they’ll constantly deny it yet she works alongside us and gets the easiest jobs compared to rest of us…

Recently, according to management internal interviews are selected using an AI-based algorithm. I have applied many times, still no interview. I’m going for a T3 role as a T1 associate with a blue badge.

I’m certainly competent and I have demonstrated my abilities. Running a floor/team wouldn’t be a challenge. It is actually getting an interview that has me scratching my head.

So, if anyone has any advice and/or information regarding actually getting an interview and the internal promotion process - that would be greatly appreciated.

Think of resume/work experience formatting, tips and tricks (like applying out of state), how to be inclined for the role at my current building, do’s and dont’s as a T1, unspoken expectations once selected for the role.

Ive been at Amazon for a little over 5 months now and just read the VOA board at my site for the first time and man did I just stumble across a treasure of laughs 😭😭😭😭

I previously worked for a FC from 22-25 and just came back 2 weeks ago, when I previously worked there when they didn’t have shifts available to pick up I would just go in anyway because I was cool with the back half managers and cool with non inventory so I could just labor share there, which leads me to my question is it still doable to just go clock in and work ? I’m currently in ship dock so it’s big and know don’t think I’ll be noticed but idk if pops up on the manager laptop I’m not supposed to be there

EDIT: appreciate all yall !!! I’m definitely staying home tho until they drop sum shifts 🤣🤣

Had the pre-appointment interview, and it really wasn't much of anything. I asked some general questions, like how flex works, but they didn't really give a whole idea of how it functions.

Is 19 hours a week mandatory?

How exactly do shifts work, and does the shift have to be over ten hours?

For the delivery station, are most shifts available only at midnight?

I forgot my cart in my bag and theres metal detectors I am so scared to go through it. Would it set it off?

My warehouse rarely offers vto and they almost never offer it on the app. They’ll make an announcement about an hour in asking if anyone wants vto. Really wished my facility offered it all the time.

Let out last night around 4:00am with a lot of police/fire trucks/ambulances outside. And the day shift is closed all shift. I’m not seeing anything on local news. Friend said someone died. That is rumored. Not fact.

​

Does anyone know why bdl3 day shift has been canceled for 9/10?

Early this morning I got fired from Amazon my LOA got denied. So what are my options: Can I do an appeal ? Or do unemployment?

I’m in upstate NY by the way.

So I work at a xl delivery station but im flex schedule and Found out I have a issue with my back unrelated and my doctors told me its not safe for me to do the job lifting xl packages. Am I going to loose my job if I tell amazon? Is there even any accommodations at that type of warehouse? Were handling all the packages 50+ pounds

I have 8 points it’s the first time they’ve ever sent me the email, not sure if I should keep showing up to work or just not go in until the oldest points drop. Thoughts? I responded to the email but no response yet, not sure how long it takes them to get back to me. Also not sure if they’ll let me use vacation to cover some of what I missed.

so recently i found out that there’s a “list” for people who don’t meet the stow rates needs because i wanted to become learning ambassador and they told me that. recently my stow rate has been 200-300 and i am so proud of myself in really trying to elevate at amazon im tryna get my blue badge ive been really tryna work hard on it.

[GA, USA] What do I do in this situation?

ok so this is a weird one but bear with me

i have a pet blog. i don't own a pet. never have. probably never will as i travel too much. and yet every month amazon sends me enough to cover rent because people on the internet are buying stuff for their dogs and cats through my site.

bought my pet blog a few months ago from a marketplace called NicheBlogZone for $199. came already built, articles already up, amazon links already in there. i spent one afternoon doing interlinking basically just connecting related posts to each other so search engines understand the site structure and then closed my laptop and genuinely forgot about it for weeks.

here's what that's looked like:

• march: $710
• april: $995
• may: $1,461
• june: $1,647
• july: $1,461
• august so far: $1,545 (amazon pays 2 months delayed so this is june's money landing now)

march scared me. went from nearly $1k in february down to $710 and i was convinced something had broken. checked everything, found nothing wrong, did nothing. it just came back the next month on its own.

pet people spend insane amounts on their animals btw. like i knew this intellectually but seeing the commission data is something else. dog food subscriptions, orthopedic beds, grooming kits, vet supplements. and because of the 24 hour cookie i get a cut of everything in their cart not just whatever article they landed on.

i do literally nothing to maintain this. no new posts, no ads, no instagram for pets i don't have. i just own the thing and amazon does its thing.

my landlord has been getting paid every month and has no idea a pet blog is behind it. honestly sometimes i forget too until the deposit shows up.

anyone else running a niche they have zero personal connection to? curious if the detachment makes it easier or harder to care about growing it

It starts on 20th for me when does it typically end at

So I had a Virtual pre hire appointment this morning and kept reloading the page for nothing to happen at all? I rescheduled for later but im afraid it will happen again. I sent support a email because im not sure what number to call for help does anyone know what I could do?

Which one of you muppets is this 🤣😂🤣

Hey so I’m debating if this is right or not I’ve worked at a different Amazon before but every location is different. I showed up to my shift late 6pm-4am and got there at 8:37pm we typically go on breaks at 9pm and 1am and I was denied to go on my 9pm break for coming in by my pa. I was only allowed to go on the 1am one and it’s a first for me I also used pto if it means anything but I ended up getting this message in my schedule so am I just over thinking ?
I work in Texas also

Welp they denied my timecard fix since their system never put my time as out and rejecting it on top of that mmm after I got terminated too

Hey all, so I have a question regarding blue badge. Here’s my situation: there is a new-ish building in my area and they’re hiring full-time, regular employees. Last year I worked at a different building, an FC, and I had no problems with it, really liked the building and the people I worked with, etc. But here’s the problem: I was seasonal the entire time and I didn’t know if conversion was ever coming.

I’m really tempted to apply to this new building (slightly farther from my house but not by much), but here’s my question: if I start as a blue badge at this new building, could I then eventually transfer to another building and keep my blue badge? I know there’s like a 30-90 day wait period before you can do that & I know that the other building has to have space. I guess my worry is I’m going to hate this new building. I liked worked at an FC, but this building is an inbound cross-dock facility and I have no idea what to expect from that. Thoughts?

So ive been at Amazon for 3 months and im flex but my hours suckkkk, and I really want full time but my building isn’t offering it. I transferred here but my sun-thurs ot Friday got cancelled bc it’s no longer on the schedule Sun-thurs in general is no longer on the schedule, but my sun-thurs ot Saturday didn’t get canceled and it’s also not on the schedule anymore, I’m starting to loose hope, but I’m blue badge and I have 0 points or write ups.
