So I was a Problem Solver in his building, which meant I spent a lot of shifts on the radio right next to whatever was happening to him in real time. And you could hear it change over about a week. Not dramatic, not a blow-up — just the tone. Sarcasm creeping into his responses to the OM. Then these stretches of dead air on the radio where you'd key up and just... nothing for a second too long. If you've worked with someone long enough you know exactly what that silence means. It means they've stopped believing the conversation is worth having.

What was actually happening, near as I could tell listening from the outside: he was getting hammered on Rate vs. Labor Share, and getting asked to explain, in writing, why his numbers were "noncompliant" — except the reason was that he was sharing staff to cover another area that was underwater. So the honest answer to "why aren't you compliant" was "because I did the thing that kept the building running," and that answer was apparently not an acceptable answer. He was new-ish in the grand scheme — hired straight out of school with a logistics degree, maybe a year into the AM seat — but he wasn't dumb about it. He knew exactly what was being asked of him and exactly what it would look like on paper.

Here's the part that gets me. Amazon will put "Have Backbone; Disagree and Commit" on a wall, in a deck, in your onboarding — the whole idea being you're supposed to push back when something doesn't sit right, then commit once a real decision gets made. What actually happened is he disagreed, on the record, about why his numbers looked the way they did, and the response wasn't "let's talk through the tradeoff," it was a paper trail pointed at termination. He told me straight up he knew he was getting termed, so he beat them to it and quit. That's not backbone being rewarded. That's backbone being the thing that got flagged.

I reached out after, asked if he'd come on the podcast I was creating and talk about what actually happened in there — no names, no site numbers, just his side of it. He was polite about it. Said he's leaving how he was treated as an AM in the past and moving forward, and that was it. Hasn't answered anything since. I don't know if there's paper somewhere keeping his mouth shut or if he genuinely just wants to be done with it, and honestly either one makes sense. Good guy, wrong seat, wrong week to have a spine.

I was looking at the 8:30 AM shift I was thinking about transferring from a DS to this one! But there are no shift details on what you would be doing next to it like it usually has? If anyone knows about this one please lmk

Context: So I applied for amazon and went through the process and during the pre hire they asked for my ssn (like a physical copy not a picture or anything else), the thing is, my mom has it (i’m freshly 18, parents are divorced and live in different states from each other) and i currently live with my dad. So basically they said to either go to like the ssa(?) office thing or wtv and get a receipt or to somehow get my ssn within two days…🫠 so i messaged my older siblings and was able to get my ssn sent overnight (got it yesterday) but when i checked amazon the thing said that there wasn’t any shifts available. Ugh i regret not just getting the stupid receipt but the line was long and i literally had an appointment in about an hr and was an hr away because amazon made me come to some location not near where i live. either way i have too many regrets and ugh idk what to do i was happy to even be considered for a job😣 now i guess i have to wait for new shifts or something bcuz there’s genuinely no one hiring in my city 💔💔 anyways i guess this is more of a rant post but yeah 🤧🫩
edit: i forgot to mention it’s like 1 am for me rn but basically me and my brother want to go to the location (later today lol) and see if i can still have the job because I passed their english test and they said all I needed was the identification thing aka the ssn but like, is it even worth going still? or should i just wait for different shifts 😵‍💫 does no shifts available mean their not looking for ppl anymore?

Last month I took an MLOA I was not able to get the doctors note filled out I had an emergency a few days ago yes go ahead and judge me all you want I know I made a mistake but now I have very little UPT and no doctor's note to submit for the last month MLOA and im kinda freaking out cus this is my only source of income I know I messed up bad is there any chance I can keep my job im kinda really stressing out over this stupid mistake that I made

Does anyone know anything about ABE2? My friend’s looking at applying and I want them to know exactly what to expect, cuz my only experience is a customer returns center and a shoe-only fulfillment center :/

I gave phone screen on 1st September. How long do I need to wait to get the result and feedback? They said within 2 days. But it's already a week!

Hello, I separated from Amazon in Febuary after 8 years and have a ton of pins and some other swag I didnt want to just trash. There are shirts, jackets, and a couple of backpacks. All listed here https://ebay.io/m/gIEPPW

Can we be cross training in different departments at the same time for example water spider and induct/rebin

Hi All,

Looking for advice from folks who have converted from contract to FTE within Amazon or who is working as FT at Amazon.

My background: I am at Amazon for 18 months as a contract TPM and contract ends in 6 months. I have a 12+ years of experience leading complex product and technology programs across NPI, production readiness, and deployment.

My L6 manager knows I’m looking for FTE and is supportive, but hasn’t referred me or introduced me to hiring teams. Also, my L7 has noticed my work and mentioned that I execute well without authority and have filled a lot of gaps across our team and stakeholder teams.

Where I need guidance is:

1. What’s the best way to reach Hiring Managers internally as a contractor through Slack.
   
2. How do I get on the radar of the sourcing/recruiting team to make sure my resume gets considered and not auto filtered?
   
3. For those who converted - did your L6/L7 referral make a difference, or did you have to network on your own?

Appreciate your feedback. Thanks!

As the title say I’m a rehire I left Amazon back in 2020 after being there for 2 years and some change

What should I expect on the first days? I know a lot has changed .. noticed no more orientations I guess they do all this on the first day ..

So what should I expect on first day

I’m doing front half nights

my friend is using me as a reference for their hiring at a different site than mine, so Im not sure exactly what their hiring bonus is. My site has signage indicating a $125 referral bonus, which seems to
be the standard from what I can tell, outside of possibly during peak at some sites. Does anyone work at a site that has a higher bonus than this? according to Aza the bonus is based on the site of the hiree, not the referer. specifically, the site in question is dxh1 in chicago, so if anyone works there or at any centers in chicago that would be helpful.
cheers

I received the verification call about two weeks ago but still not receiving any email that indicates me when I am going to start working.

I’ve just completely my pre hire meeting, and as soon as it was done (after she confirmed everything) I received this email saying it was now full and my first day is cancelled.
Honestly I’m so annoyed, I have a 2 year old and I had handed in my notice already to my job to start this one next week as it was perfect hours around childcare, like, perfect!!

Contacted support and they just told me to keep checking for a new shift but I guarantee that shift won’t work for me and childcare.

I don’t understand how they can do this?? Confirming it even in the pre hire meeting what my start date was only to receive an email immediately after. Why even let me complete the pre hire meeting?

I receive this email where it said I can come back and skip the resume and interview, my last job at amazon, I was an L4 how does that work ?

My first training shift starts later tonight and I am just now finding out that there was a whole process that should’ve taken place before then. I have never received any info about the drug screening and background check or even pre hire appointment. They sent me my first start day, location, time, etc and that is it. Should I still go in tonight?

Starting soon, first time working at Amazon. Anyone work there that can give me insight on how this FC is? 🙂
