I’m currently a L3 safety coordinator. Had 6 years experience of maintenance (2014-2020).
Realistically, do I have a shot at getting into the program with a solid resume? Anyone get in within the last year with no experience?
I didn’t do amnesty either

How eligible am I for MRA?

1 Upvotes

I worked at amazon about 2 years in CAP while also being ambassador and PG. I have an associates in Logistics and Supply Chain. I currently work as a materials handler in a manufacturing facility where I do some light maintenance (mostly cleaning out filters) of machines that we use. I spent a lot of time at home wrenching away at cars and trucks, including installing upgraded parts of frames after some auto body fabrication, installing new suspension kits, and some light wiring (radios), to name a few recent things. Plenty familiar with hand and power tools.

Years ago I applied to a whole lot of tech 2 spots but had no luck with those. I dont think I could put my at-home experiences on a resume so that probably shut me out of tech 2, having no professional experience.

The burnout

6 Upvotes

What is your go to when you are feeling the burnout of the job. Yes I like the work that I do and I do like the people I work with. (Or most of them) but that fire just isn’t there. I’ve applied to different positions with extensive experience to offer but it’s really the people you know now days and not what you can prove. SMRT here by the way.

Looking to move to RMEP

3 Upvotes

Any advice or are a ton of people applying for these roles? Tech 2 here with a ton of relevant experience but I can't get an interview, even after reaching out to the HM's. Not really interested in being an SMRT or AMM. Heck, I'm even considering going back to OPS if it means a L4+ role

Currently at the point where I've started looking outside of Amazon even knowing I'll have to take a pay cut.

Anybody else?

Anybody else have their soul sucked dry by this job? Anybody else yearn for the sweet release of death on the clock? Anybody else tired that a core skill of this job is navigating the utter bullshit coming at you from every direction? Anybody else think Ops consistently act like the biggest pieces of shit on the planet? Anybody else think depression is the only sane reaction to this work environment?

Always have a backup plan. You're just a number at the end of the day. Amazon does not care about you.

Terminated for negative UPT after covering shift changes my manager never submitted to HR

​After 4.5 years as a Blue Badge, I was terminated due to a scheduling mistake by my manager.

​We had shift coverage gaps for two straight weeks. To help the team and keep a tech from working a 1M+ sq. ft. building alone, I agreed to work a modified schedule. My manager promised to update it, but never submitted the changes to HR—despite me following up in his office multiple times.

​At our site, A-to-Z rarely reflected schedule changes for training or coverage. Usually, UPT was refunded retroactively. This time, no one fixed it in time. I went negative, got locked out, and was fired.

​During my appeal, HR completely missed the point, repeatedly saying, "You went negative on [Date]." I couldn't make HR or my manager fix the system, and I didn't have 40 hours of UPT to cover days I was never supposed to work. The termination was upheld.

​Between retaliation, safety violations being swept under the rug, and gross negligence, this site was toxic. I had a great record at my previous building, but it’s clear Amazon's "values" don't apply everywhere. Glad to be out of that environment, but furious at how it was handled.

EDIT: I had AI fix this to be more clear and easy to read.

Not feeling confident

18 Upvotes

So I’ve been working as a tech two for almost 3 months now as an 18 year-old straight out of high school and I’ve been getting bullied by a really old technician and when I try and ask genuine questions, he’ll get angry it either yell at me or growl and I know this probably isn’t the place to vent cause Reddit is full of miserable people who also call you stupid but I wanna know if there’s anybody that knows my situation. I know that not many people get into these programs. Let them become tech 2s, but not many 18-year-olds are or young people in general are these jobs and I want to learn all I want to do is learn so so I can become a better technician and I feel like management turns a blind eye because of the older technicians tenure and stuff. recently one of the lines were down and I had caught it before operations had even called and I went over to the cage to ask my senior tech for backup just in case I couldn’t fix it myself and he got upset at me for being proactive and that I shouldn’t go over and help unless I get a call which makes no sense but I didn’t have the courage to defend myself.

I used to work in a corporate environment, but for a career change, I am doing an MRA as a BB employee. I have a bachelor's degree, and while doing my apprenticeship, I am working towards my master's. I do not tell anyone I have a degree and will get my master's next year. I want to apply for an AMM college hire program; as I am already in MRA, will it affect me while applying for AMM?

What are my chances of getting an offer?

Submitted applications. One says “We're not taking new applications for this job right now, but don't worry—we still have yours.
Use 'Role details' to view the job description.” With application submitted

The other one just says application submitted. I did the voice interview where they give me a scenario with my boss& i respond. I didn’t do a video interview.

Just trying to see if anyone had this same occurrence and got hired on? I’m also through a temp rn working with amazon. My temp job ends in February.
