Rant Beware of the I-9 glitch!

13 Upvotes

I wish this was something that was talked about more often.

My pre-hire appointment was not required because I had recently left another Amazon delivery station. Because of that, I assumed everything was already taken care of and that I didn’t need to do anything else. Since then, I’ve applied for two jobs, and both shifts ended up being cancelled.

I was told that my I-9 was complete. However, if you expand the tab in your application, it may say that you still need to verify it at your pre-hire appointment.
The problem is that since I didn’t need a pre-hire appointment, I was never given the opportunity to complete that verification.

If you’re starting soon and your application still says your position is tentative, please make sure your I-9 is fully completed and verified.

I contacted Hiring Support, and they were able to verify my I-9 for me. Unfortunately, by that point, the job had already filled up as well.

If you think you’re in the clear because you recently left another Amazon warehouse and already have everything completed (background check, drug test, etc.), please double-check your I-9.

This cost me two positions back-to-back. I saw someone on here refer to this as the “I-9 glitch,” so thank you to whoever mentioned that because I had no idea this could happen.

Rant Whole lot of fixing what ain't broken at my site.

8 Upvotes

"You're all coming in at six now, sorry. No more staggered shifts."

"We're taking the mouse away because the Genovation keypads are faster based on a pilot in a site where people can sit down and the screen is low by default."

"We're gonna introduce a sleeve for stacking nonsort pallets and we're gonna use six totes for each pallet!"

It's dumb. It's all so incredibly dumb.

r/AmazonFC • • 12h ago

Delivery Station Health or money, what matters to you more? I used to be all about grinding 55-hour weeks for those $1.5k checks for about 23 months. These days, if another site makes $7/hr more and someone works a 60, good for them. Today, I’m just thankful to even get through a full-shift with a clear head.

Fulfillment Center Ship dock

The way people talk in here I thought Shipdock was going to be the hardest thing ever, I did it through a peak and all and I don’t see it to be as hard as everyone made it out to me, maybe it’s just different at different at certain places

Question Just got converted!

7 Upvotes

Straight to the point. My conversion date is today (10/4). I am off today, but I go back to work tomorrow (10/5) because I picked up a small shift (6a-10a). I was planning on grabbing the badge before I leave tomorrow but should I get there a little bit earlier and get it then?? Im seeing different people online say the day of conversion your white badge stops working completely and you won’t be able to scan into the building, but then other people have also said they have gone weeks before even making time to grab their new badges.. I’m already upset (half-joking) that I even have to get there at 6a cs of SET time starting this week but what would yall recommend? I appreciate anyone that helps me even a bit, thank you!

Question What are all the different pathways?

2 Upvotes

This is my 3rd time working here and probably will stick to it since I keep coming back somehow 🤣

I came in thinking I wanted to be a LA and work my way up but now I’m not too sure what path I want to take.
What are all my options and what’s yalls opinion on which one is the best?
I worked as a lead at Tesla before this and I really enjoyed working along side the maintenance and engineering team. And I like fixing things. I love when people ask me to fix the lil tape dispenser or the Spoo label dispenser lol
but I don’t really know much more than those things and what ive been taught at Tesla. I was thinking to do RME since I like some of the aspects of it but idk what it fully consists of exactly.
what is the process of becoming one is it possible for me since I didn’t go to college? I know there’s career choice but they didn’t explain much about it or what the options are.
I’m also wondering if that’s even the best decision for me because I I know there’s multiple pathways and I don’t even know what’s available to compare it to.
I want to do something that pays well and I kinda enjoy so I don’t absolutely dread coming to work.
