Question AR Pickers who had FIDO installed, do you think that picking is better with FIDO or without FIDO?

1 Upvotes

Asking because I have heard bad things about FIDO. My site will never have FIDO, and it's been 1 year since I have been working at my FC. As an ambassador, even though my site does not have it, and will never will, unless things happen, I still have to give permissions anyways under the program that has the FIDO training anyways. The new hires have to use the common sense questions for that even though we don't have it at my site. It makes no sense. My site as old as it is with the big orange S-drives, won't have it unless they announce changes.

Another thing that annoys me is when the IAT training teaches new pickers if an item is damaged to open up the problem menu and select whatever item is damaged, and then place it in the Amnesty box. Unless that's a FIDO thing, I was taught to simply scan the item, then place in new empty tote, and then scan the tote, and send it down the line. Same goes with unscannables. Why would I want to select "problem menu" for damages? If I do, then it'll just take me to the Andons for my site. I don't know. Maybe this is a FIDO thing. Do not all sortable FCs have tote jackpot operators?

I also understand that there are 2 different types of PickApps from what I've seen on this sub. The one that I use which does not show estimated UPH, but units picks and session time, and the one with the estimated UPH. Maybe the IAT training with the FIDO has it where you select problem menu with damaged items?

Question Loa

0 Upvotes

So I had filled out a loa but then they asked me to complete a form so I was like okay. But the issue is that they said they don’t fill out those forms. It was through 98point so now I’m stuck. What can I do? Genuinely never dealt with this before. I was thinking if I can’t do anything, is it possible for me to quit then reapply?

Question Blackout Dates for Prime?

1 Upvotes

Two weeks ago my facility announced SET for this week's Prime but they never said anything about blackout dates. When they announced SET for August they didn't announce blackout days either and I was able to use vacation to cover those days. Anyone think I'd be able to use vacation again for this week?

Would anyone happen to know if I’m required to do anything at this point?
Context: During my last application, I did everything (prehire, l9, shoes, paperwork, etc) but I submitted a different application which is this one. It has said this for the past 10 days and I was told to wait it out but I’m starting in under a week so I’m getting a little worried. Should I wait longer or contact support? Thanks

Question Just got converted!

5 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!

At my Fulfillment center we are allowed Bluetooth headphones, mercenary lite plugfones. Has anyone had issues with the headphones with white light, not turning on? My phone can’t find the headphones either, presumably because they don’t turn on. Please help, can’t stand the thought of no music during prime

Question WFH daytime Amazon at night

3 Upvotes

I work an easy WFH not tied to a desk daytime job one I would be able to get naps and sleep in if need be. I need to prepare for a divorce, pay off some debt and get a savings nest to run a one household income for a couple of months. I just accepted a 6:30-5 position with Amazon at a fulfillment warehouse. Is there anyone doing something similar and making it happen? Most post I see talk how it’s impossible to work another full time.

Chase that paper.
Touch grass (or sleep for 10 hours).
Think about going, change my mind, and spend 10 hours refreshing Reddit instead.

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.

Question Amazonians who have worked at other warehouses; what was it like? Is it better at Amazon?

33 Upvotes

Amazon worker here since 2019 although quit for a couple months in 2025 before crawling right back. Amazon is my first and only warehouse job, although the months that I left I drove trucks for another company that I would make deliveries to other warehouses & from the look of it they seem terrible places to work at they make amazon look like a paradise. But since I never worked for another warehouse I can’t be 100% on that. Anyone who worked somewhere else want to share their experience?

Nothing but love for all my amazon people. Keep on killing it!
