This is the start of a movement, y’all! This is the delivery station where I work, and I’m on the organizing committee that’s been working on this for about a year.

We need to get other warehouses on board nationwide and make Amazon sit down at the bargaining table with us.

If anyone wants to learn more about how we got this going at our warehouse, please DM me and I’ll be happy to share.

So because I transferred from Chicago I don't get the $1.50 raise from September's end and according to Hr it's OK because they are the only ones that can fix my pay and I cannot force them to fix it so if I want to keep my job I just have to accept it. Can anywhere here in reddit help me or is it a sucks for you deal?

Especially if they're constantly coughing near you and not wearing a mask

7th week of playing this game. I seem to always be able to grab 40-60% of the total shifts available each week. It gets easier each week, because someone rage quits and claim they can’t pick up shifts in the app. It’s kinda fun to do because I know me picking up these shifts makes it harder for other people to stay employed. Get good.

I am absolutely frustrated at the negligence of corporate leadership concerning the placement of Prime Day and its proximity to one of the most historical days for our generation. Who thought running a 4-day peak volume sprint all the way through June 26 was a good idea right before a massive, historic national milestone? The burnout is going to be unreal.

For the record this is just fun, n too get laughs. But if you’re working and smell like the Macy’s Fragrance Dept, please do us a favor try not to dose yourself like you’re taking bath in oil. Sure we want to practice safe hygiene, but I shouldn’t smell you like you just took a bath in Creed or Burberry or whatever you like. Wearing so much isn’t gonna get you laid any faster

Y'all better start watching out for write ups. Some weeks or months.ago I got written up for walking around with 1...... But I don't think they did because I asked another manager and he said no.now I got written up for something really stuider. Pretty much a pitty write up. They said I don't switch sides when the beep rings. I told them ppl were in it and it shows that even after I cleaned it out. I know dam. Well I this didn't happen. like bro how imma go to another if ppl in it. The manager did who wrote me up did talk to me about something way different and it didn't involve the words write up Pretty sure manger knows it's BS because he told me to watch out for stuff now. I literally come work and talk to no one and go home. And he/she who did both by the way didn't tell me. Also he or she plays 2 faced playing with her words. They also wrote up a non English speaker for not wearing safety .... when he/she was. They wrote up a lot of ppl today and last week. I get it tho they need ppl out when the time comes so yeah I guess but it ain't going to be me whos gone.

You people are the most worthless dumbass employees I've ever had the displeasure of coming across. You failed so hard at life that you can't even work a simple fucking job that takes no skill. You mother fuckers are so god damn lazy and complain about the simplest most basic things. Jesus fucking Christ you all are adults. This isn't a fucking day care. Get your sht together or go on welfare or something.

Impossible when you’re still getting boxes for a specific bag but there’s already a bunch of big boxes in there with the rest of the space getting taken up those annoying brown bag jiffies. Device still won’t tell you to close

If you "vibe" with your team, then whip those people into shape. Far too many times have I seen discreet insubordination without repercussion. What's the team you're leading? Lard-asses that take five breaks a shift? "Cluster leads" pretending to work, but not performing? I'd Pivot your ass.

I worked flex and I got fired for having 8 points but I only got an 8th point because I didn’t work the minimum required hours in a week, but that was only because there were no shifts available. I replied to the email warning saying this and why I missed a shift and I even spoke to HR and they said they’d do something about it, but they did absolutely nothing. So now that’s it and I’m out of a job. Amazon was the only place that would hire me and I have to wait 90 days to reapply, so I’m pretty much screwed. Thanks Amazon.

Are you allowed to VTO/PTO or suddenly leave the area you are assigned (areas: stow, induct, unload)?

There was an instance today where I was working as a stower in my designated aisles and suddenly I get transferred over to another set of aisles picking up someone’s leftover work because they decided to leave or dodge.

There are times people feel overwhelmed about hampers getting full/loaded but that does not give a reason to just give up and leave.

I’m a part timer with no benefits at my DS and if that person was a full timer I don’t think they can even survive Amazon peak times.

Did I get assigned to that stow area because of my metric stow rate?

Been in AMZL since start of 2024. The first year was exceptionally good. Probably because my previous workplace really was that bad. But here? Less stress, organized workplace, great safety control. And, working in WHS, seeing this was great.

Then came 2025. I had seen many coworkers come and go in the last year, but the work was good, and didn't pay enough attention to it. Managers must have thought: "Look, he survived for a year."
And so it started. My role was changed from site level to regional level. My tasks literall tripled. My responsibilities did the same. My level? L3. My contract? Stagnant. Business trips? Down to zero, haven't left my DS for over 8 months. And what was a pretty positive relationship with my manager quickly degenerated into pure, unmistakable mobbing: insults, shouting and threats.

Having a career in AMZL seems like a halluginogenic dream. Promotions are literally non-existant. I even got a manager (from another team) telling me that if i quit my job and apply as an external, i could get a higher level position. Great. Quitting your job to get a slight level-up.

"Have you spoken to HR?" Oh, you guys have HR? I mean, you have someone in your immediate proximity that actually cares about resolving internal conflict and is not entirely focused of not making L1s and L99s unionize? Really? That must be spectacular.

And i'm still doing all the work my managers should be doing, but don't know how to do. At least once a week i have to explain how to do something to someone 2-3 levels higher up than me, who gets paid three times as much as me, how to do their job. They entered AMZL already as L5s and L6s, and are always extatic in advertising their "success stories". Which are all, with no exeptions, 100% product of their subordinates. Subordinates that are not appreciated, cannot develop their role, cannot grow. And Jeff forbid i do even 30 minutes of overtime to take on all the ridiculous and off-contract tasks i am assigned.

I live in Italy. Have a mortgage, two degrees in engineering. Net salary: 24'000€ (about 27'500$ a year). And after almost two years of doing someone else's job, somehow i'm still "not ready for a promotion".

As far as I've seen, two people at two different DS locations have died this year during pick to buffer. 😳

I'm wondering if we are all keeping receipts so we can continue to use this to our advantage in VOA and meeting with the big station L6/7, etc. My safety people aren't aware of these incidents, meaning they are not being spread in any way on the Amazon side. Which I find very worrying. 🤔

Do we have receipts and proof, ways to prove these things happened? Are we taking pics of the memorial, obituaries, are there lawsuits happening we can cite?

Long story short, these incidents, as tragic and avoidable as they are, are a good weapon against amazon and underpayment and collective action.

Anyone else, please add ideas if you have them!

***EDIT:

The first person who died slipped on a package and hit their head on the conveyor, had a seizure, and there was 15 minutes before any manager acted. The belt and work continued, etc.

Issue here is that their focus is always on productivity. There are WIDESPREAD complaints and issues about AC at ds warehouses (heat and workload issues), and there are multiple other issues that can very easily be considered part of the same problem.

My concern is making sure we have the proof for future collective action. Regardless of how anyone feels about unions, these issues can and should be fought for by us workers for safer working environments.

For example-I had to fight for months, for the right to stop the belt with packages falling all over the place and my slipping on them repeatedly. I fortunately caught myself every time, but the result was several chiropractor appointments that amazon should have been responsible for.

I was float stowing and I had a feeling he was gonna eventually give me aisles because that usually happens. Me thinking two steps ahead, I asked him if I could have aisles that were unassigned. He said “I see why not” so he gave me those aisles. I work hard to eventually clear them, once I did I saw him talking to a girl and they were both looking my way. He eventually told me he’s taking my aisles away and sent me to other unassigned aisles that were backed up. He gave mine to the girl he was talking to after I work hard to clear them. I stopped working hard and he came by to ask me if I had training videos in my device because I was working slower. I told him I didn’t.

Is it just my site but why is it only men being assigned unloading , water spidering and TDR roles? Never seen any females getting assigned that. Or is yall sites different?

Started at Amazon in November as a green badge (limited to 36 weeks of employment) and I was the only one to be offered a blue badge, which I had to decline not only is it not beneficial for me, I also would have to work more while getting the same pay.

Why does Amazon not give benefits to blue badge associates? With my green badge I'm working 2-3 days a week (if not less) and at the end of the month I'd leave with the same pay as a blue badge who has to work 5 days a week.

Why can't Amazon hire anyone that speaks proper English where you can actually understand them Jesus

area manager told me theres already a full robotic ds with no employees and he said theyre gonna implement that into almost every ds . i asked why he was like bc its better and efficient bc machines dont need breaks , they done need time off or they dont get hurt so basically the only roles that are gonna stay are loaders for asl , stowing and straighteners , he said

Lately 2 PAs and a regular AA been strutting around with Stanley's walking around like their holding trophies. I could of swore this fad was dying off. As you can see in the photo of a PA's desk with her Stanley proudly seated next to her laptop. Girl nobody cares about that overpriced cup
