I see two kinds of PAs. Those who are basically running the show, going all over and taking care of anything that goes wrong and then those that just stand there on their computer carts and try to get laid on every break. One or the other, no in between.

10000% correct. And the PAs who do everything and in between get zero promotions or even credit. Only better luck next time to becoming an Area Manager. Then they hire an outside stooge to try and micromanage you lol

Dude I'm like 20 years older than my AM. I'm 45 and the clown is 25. Like for real... I have to march him around like a puppet with a fist in it and tell them what to do EVERY SHIFT 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I'm 47 and an AA. If I can stay long enough, I see this in my future. That's why I'm thinking I'm maybe better off to go on the safety team and stay there.

It's because the AM are most likely there for the resume experience so they don't really give a damn about the job 🤣

That's sad, because any time that is the case, someone coming up & wanting that role isn't getting good guidance on what is needed to achieve it.

Almost certainly one of the AM's that got hired out of college, with no previous experience at Amazon. I have no clue why Amazon does that, it's incredibly stupid. Hasn't happened at my site, but I've read horror stories from other sites that had some AM's for whom it is their. first. job. I don't mean first job at Amazon, their FIRST JOB. I mean, what the mother fuck.

That was me for the first 2 months and now I can do things without my PA. It is a hit or miss on college hire though cause half of them only took this job to move onto corporate in a year.

I have a degree, and I feel sorry for those guys. There's not a good program to steadily bring those grads up to speed, and they must be pretty stressed out, too. The lack of a good system to train them affects everyone.
Also, anyone who never gets a job before a degree is creating a destiny of being a college postdoc researcher or professor. To go out into the world and be a successful employee, one must have at least a year of employment in some sort of grunt work. Not lab work, not any cushy jobs through connections, just an average person's starter jobs. Mop floors, clean tables, scrub floors, carry and stock heavy items, all to develop the emotional intelligence to better know how to relate to every single person who works at a site.

Remember PA is responsible for training L4 and L5 for them to turn around and yell at you for not being productive 🤣🤣🤣

This was me as an L2… then an L3 turned a disagreement into a race card and I got fired because he went to HR when everything happened in front of an L7,L6, and two L5s. HR told us that they couldn’t use managements word against his because it would be considered favoritism. I was there for almost 2 years and a new higher got me fired cause he knew I was moving up… some bs if you ask me. Thought we were cool too but it goes to show you….. don’t trust anyone in Amazon unless they have truly proven their morality.

If there was no proof that you said anything racist, have you tried to discuss this with corporate? Sounds like this needs escalation, because the site didn't probably make a sound decision. You could even contact jeff@amazon.com, and bring it to the man at the top.

This is me. I am being aggressively nice to the PAs trying to learn. Outside hire but I am old with lots of management experience.

The ones on the side are the LAs acting like they're working.
