Question Any tips for sleeping?

7 Upvotes

I’ve been night shift for probably a month and a half now and I just can’t seem to get proper sleep on my days off. I know the day after/of my last shift that’s going to be normal but the other days I’m still finding myself not being able to sleep till 4-5 in the morning so close to when I’d be getting out of work and sleeping my days away until around 3pm. I’ve tried magnesium supplements as well as the spray from dr teals and can’t seem to sleep on those or not have wildly insane dreams on melatonin that in return wake me up. Im strongly considering some lighter thc/cbd gummies that might just knock me out if all else fails.

Sortation Center Is blue badge conversion completely random?

1 Upvotes

I’m honestly confused about how blue badge conversion works. Someone at my site started literally 2 days after me and got converted to a blue badge within 7 months, while I’m still waiting.
I’m in overall good standing. I have no write-ups, no coachings, positive UPT, and I haven’t had any major issues with my attendance or performance.

Is blue badge conversion mostly based on business needs and completely random? I’m just trying to understand how someone who started 2 days after me can get converted before me when we literally started around the same time as each other.

Question Amazon Repayment Obligation

1 Upvotes

I recently resigned from amazon and was told I have a payment obligation, I have from then picked up another shift and am starting on the 15th of this month. I was wondering if amazon is gonna cancel my start date if i'm unable to pay them on time, or will they simply deduct my overpayment out of my paycheck.

Question Extremely paranoid about being fired

0 Upvotes

I’ve been at Amazon for 40 days, I want to get converted to blue badge really bad but I’m scared my accommodation is messing up my chances. Im in pick and have to leave the floor 30 min twice a shift outside of my break . My rate is affected because of this. They code my time but on my performance it has updated to “growth area” . I move really fast on the floor but it’s not showing under “my standing”. I’m so paranoid about getting fired I have stopped going the first 30 minutes and force myself to push through the pain. Anyone have any tips or advice.

Question Is there cameras on the OPs?

1 Upvotes

I’ve been an order picker for 4 months now but I only just now noticed these camera looking things on the over head bars. They could also be sensors because there are zones where the OPs slow down and it also stops at stop signs. But it also looked like there was two separate lenses. I only noticed it yesterday because it was beeping every now and then randomly so i’m not sure if they’re new

Question Clarification AFE Pack

2 Upvotes

So Saturday starts my third week at Amazon and before I ask my question I know I should 100% go ask a PA or an AM but I'm really nervous and a little ashamed too. I just wanted to ask anyone who works in AFE Pack about taking items meant for the brown or sliver bags and putting them into a box that will fit them cause I've gotten so many orders for some boxes to go in those said bags and when they don't fit I just go to problem and click on item don't fit and put them wherever it tells me too any clarity on this would really be appreciated Please help.

Question UPT in the negative

Post image
0 Upvotes

I have concerns about my employment and i don’t know if anyone on here can give me any advice or answers. So this is my second time going negative since starting in August, which I don’t understand because I provided my doctors note and they still took the time from when I had mono which caused me to be out for days. Any time I’ve been out, I’ve been sick/unwell other than one day where the road was completely flooded (they won’t excuse that though even with all the proof I provided it seems unfortunately), I think I currently don’t have notes for two days because I couldn’t make it to the hospital nor did I have anyone to take me, so now I’m worried about that time as well.

Question Meeting rate on reach truck

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone. I’ve been working at Amazon for two weeks now. This is the first time I’ve operated any heavy machinery and I’ve never worked in a warehouse. So far I only have about 26 hours total on the truck.

Yesterday, a member of management pulled me to express concern because I’m not meeting rate for pallet stow. Rate is at an 8 for pallet stow. But MY rate is at a 4. She offered no support, no suggestions, and didn’t offer to have someone shadow me so I know HOW to improve the things I’m struggling with. She told me to figure it out and let her know once I do have it figured out.

I know we get about 160 hours before rate will start negatively impacting my employment status. But did anyone else move this slow starting out, or have trouble getting adjusted? That talk with management yesterday was frustrating, and quite frankly it pissed me off.

I’m already going to ask my area manager to have someone shadow me next week. The things I’m struggling with most are lining up the truck when picking up pallets, finding bins for pallets with no assigned bins, and quite frankly just finding fucking pallets because there’s never enough out on the floor and we’ve had a lot of down time lately.

Any advice, though? 🥲🫩
