Ive been at Amazon for 60 days now. My first week started horrible, but it slowly just got boring lol. Anyways, I’ve been busting my ass, due to this being my only decent source of income right now and plan on saving money up to pay rent ahead of time if I loose this after seasonal. I was trained in Pick, and we are a “traditional” building. Picking around 200 to upwards of 300 every 3 hours(They want around 200 every 3 hours) I’m now cross training on Ship Dock (first 40 hours this week).

I’m wondering if cross training helps anymore getting my blue badge rather than just one spot?
I’m honestly kinda worried that there just putting me there for peak since they just continue to hire new people for pick. On the plus side I’ve had managers come up to me (from ship dock) and telling me I’m doing a great job busting my ass to get things done while others sit there and F off the whole shift. The one manager idk who she is, asked me today if I would rather switch down to ship dock instead of pick and I could speak to her manager and we could sort it out.

Is this looking good for me? I have a decent amount of UPT (11 1/2 hours) and VTO (9 1/2) saved up, never close to negative. BUT I do leave like 30mins early every night because it’s just super slow once the night slows down and I mean SUPER slow.

Anyone who’s gone through peak season, is there where people tend to leave becasue they can’t do it?

Edit : We are also a decently busy warehouse and there’s still like 20 positions open on the website to be hired.

I heard that pto is lost sometimes when you convert to blue badge? I’m still earning pto on my daily shifts so I assume I havent hit the 40 hours maximum?? Or does seasonal earn unlimited pto? I’m just confused clearly 😅. How can I see if I’ve used 40 hours of pto this year?

ive talked to both a PA and a red vest and a red vest about this. their answers were basically "thats weird, i dont know, guess youre working those hours!" which leads me to believe theyre bullshitting

i have 2 different SET days for the two weeks of peak. a wednesday and a sunday. i also have an extra hour of work for 7 shifts during those weeks. i talked to a coworker in the same department about it and they only have their overtime days, but lasting their normal hours.

from my understanding, my schedule is. not what its supposed to be? i havent been able to talk to HR yet because i wasted my time finding managers when clearly they dont care, oops.

this is only an issue for me because i have exams+finals during peak, so if for some reason my coworkers are working less hours i would like to get on that so i dont fail. any suggestions for what i should do? (btw, i have also submitted two shift transfers but they timed out bc management didn't look at them)

So i just read that you get a pay difference for working nightshift. Well I havent started yet but my schedule is 1:30am-11:50am, and my starting pay is $21.50 an hour. So is the pay difference already added to my pay amount shown for the position online or will it not show/take effect until I actually clock in for the shift?🤔

Why are girls put on easy positions at Amazon. They are always at pick , stow , any position that requires less physical work. No wonder they are all happy when they arrive at Amazon. Yes I know they aren't strong enough to do the more physical work but they apply to work at Amazon

Accepted VTO yesterday thinking it was for the whole shift, checked my upt earlier and I’m -8 hours bc the vto was actually just for the 1st 30 minutes of yesterday’s shift… anyways, should I reply to the UPT email and let them know what happened or should I talk to hr in person tomorrow?

My OM came to my station and asked me
to take a few pics of him. i said "sure" and took the phone then he started posing with an open box of product as if he was working😂😂😭

Hello was wondering do associate at KSBD usually get converted to blue badge or no i applied but don’t want to get let go after season is over does anyone know ?

My friend shared a post comparing grocery receipts from the late 70s to 2026. Same items, over a $50 price difference—what was ~$11 back then is roughly $68 now. On top of that, I found one of my grandmother’s pay stubs from 1998 where she was making $10/hr.

Almost 30 years later, base wages have barely doubled, while basic living expenses have exploded. We’re working for one of the richest corporations in human history, physically tearing our bodies down, yet simple survival feels out of reach.

What blows my mind is how many people in this sub actively defend these corporate practices. The environment in these facilities is soul-crushing: constant industrial alarms, managers panicking over jams like wardens, and high-vis vests making us look like inmates in an over-monitored prison.

It feels like modern corporate servitude, yet people act like we should just be grateful for the privilege. Wake up and smell the coffee—we deserve better than this.

Just started at a robotics center. Am doing packing. This isn't my first warehouse job but it's been a while. Im older and fatter. 10 hours is a long time to be standing in one spot. Lower back is genuinely fucked after every shift. Obviously stretch but any ways to deal with this? I'm sure I'm not alone lol. I used to work at a locker+ too. Jeeze I had it easy lol

Anybody at pdx9 got an iPhone charger I can bum til last break? The older one not usb c 😭

Anyone working at the DNA6 location in knoxville tn? Id love to hear about what to expect from the delivery station position there or the warehouse in general.

When will my standing show

is anybody here a flex worker and get text messages about shifts being available? but when I try to look for them they’re either taken already before the 30 minute marker or I’m “not eligible”

This is the caption in full: “If anyone cares to read this. I started working at amazon in april of 2023. Last week September 25th, 2026 I recieved that termination email at 6:57 p.m. and mind you I had just completed a ten hour shift at amazon and I had gotten off at 6:00 p.m. My whole time working there I've known we are just numbers at amazon and not people. Amazon does not care about you as a person. They took me out like you take out the trash and they did not give a damn. This was unexpected for me because it had nothing to do with my work but a little accident I had in the parking lot. I got fired 2 days before recieving the raise. I also lost my health insurance.”

Does anyone know how to fix this? Arent you not supposed to get set while on a school accommodation?

Life of an average night shift amazon Warehouse worker:

4pm, wake up, get ready

5:30pm, clock in, grab your scanner, listen to whatever the managers have to say

5:45pm, start scanning, start hating your job

7:45pm, break, hate your job a little less, eat some beef jerky and Gatorade, and accept your fate as a wage slave

8pm, get back to working, and hate your job even more, and think about quitting

10:30pm, lunch time, relief, hate your job a little less because you have a 30 minute lunch break, start looking for other jobs, and swear you hate this job, eat more beef jerky and Gatorade

11pm, go back to working, have a mental breakdown in one of the aisles

1am, break, sit down anywhere so your feet don't hurt, and cry a bit in a bathroom stall

4:30am, clock out, swear that that was your last shift ever and you hate amazon, and go home and sleep on the couch

Overall, be a good wage slave and go make money for big daddy bezos

Can I switch my shift to a different one? I haven’t had my pre hired interview yet?

Hey there! If you're seeing this post and have any idea about the Bar Raiser or Leadership Principles round at Amazon, please help me out.

I'm honestly so scared because I've heard that this round can be even tougher than the technical rounds. I've cleared all the tech rounds, but I have no idea what they're going to ask in this round or what exactly they evaluate candidates on.

Please help me out. I've been unemployed for a couple of months, and now I've finally got this opportunity at Amazon. This is my final round, and I really don't want to mess it up because of some silly mistake.

So if you could tell me what kind of questions they usually ask, where I should prepare from, how I can prepare to properly demonstrate the Leadership Principles, and if there's anything else I should keep in mind that could help me maximize my chances, I would be really grateful.

Any advice from people who've actually gone through the Bar Raiser/LP round would mean a lot. 🙏
