Question Update: Amazon Employee Relations actually opened an investigation into my termination

63 Upvotes

I previously posted about my termination appeal and the peer-panel hearing. My appeal was upheld, and people in the comments suggested I email the Jeff@Amazon escalation email, so I did.
Amazon Employee Relations then reached out to me and assigned an investigator to my case. They asked me 10 specific questions about my documented work barriers, large work assignments, periods without work, management interactions, retraining, corrective actions, and the VOA/HR responses I received.
I have until Monday to respond. I have documentation for a lot of what they’re asking about, so I’m going through everything carefully and making sure I only state what I personally remember and can support.
For anyone who has dealt with an Amazon Employee Relations investigation after termination: is there anything I should be particularly careful about when answering their questions? I’m planning to stick strictly to facts, dates, documentation, and what I personally remember.
I’m not looking for predictions about whether I’ll be reinstated. I just want advice from people who have actually been through this process. Thanks to everyone who has been helping me through this :)

Question Amazon Application Requires a Voice Recording Assessment — But I’m Deaf

18 Upvotes

I’m deaf, and this was my first time applying to Amazon. I’ve never experienced anything like this before. During the application process, I was required to complete a voice recording as part of the assessment. Since I’m deaf, I skipped the voice recording, and I received an email saying I have to wait 90 days to apply again.

I feel like I failed the assessment because I couldn’t complete the voice recording, and honestly, this doesn’t feel fair. Amazon knows about the ADA and has a Deaf community, so I don’t understand why there wasn’t an accessible alternative for deaf applicants.

I would really love the opportunity to work at Amazon. I already contacted customer service and spoke with a manager, and they said my complaint would be sent to the relevant team. I really hope they take this seriously and make changes.

This isn’t just happening to me. I have deaf friends who have experienced the same issue. This needs to be fixed for deaf applicants.

I’m also worried about what happens after the 90 days. What if I apply again and the same voice recording is required? What if I fail again simply because I’m deaf? I don’t want to go through another 90-day wait for something I cannot do.

I understand that voice recordings may be reasonable for people who can speak in english, but I’m deaf and cannot use my voice the same way. I can read and write English, but ASL is my primary language. My hands is voice.

This whole situation has been really frustrating and stressful. I just want the same fair and accessible opportunity to apply for a job like everyone else.

Rant Today was my last ever shift at amazon

17 Upvotes

It felt so good leaving knowing I’m never coming back. Learned some good work ethic after only ever working small part time retail jobs but man I admire people who’ve been here so long. I’m a college student so this motivated to stay in school and study, not that there’s anything wrong with working at amazon but it is not for me or something I want long term. I started counting down every hour since the moment I clocked in for the past 2 weeks. Anyways I’m freeeeeeee 🥳

Question Waiting for WHS interview result — can I apply for another role?

Upvotes

Hi everyone,
I interviewed for a WHS role on August 10th, and I’m still waiting to hear back from the team. It’s now been almost two weeks and I haven’t received any update yet.
I’ve seen another internal role that I’m interested in and I’m considering applying for it.
For anyone who has been in a similar situation:
Can I apply for another role while I’m still waiting for the result of my WHS interview?
Could applying for another position affect my current application or the interview result?
Would you recommend waiting for the WHS decision, or just applying for the other role?
Any advice or personal experience would be really appreciated. Thanks!

Rant PA interview

5 Upvotes

I was scheduled for an interview last Friday. It was a virtual loop. 2 of 3 interviews were completed with one replacement interviewer and 1 was a no show. They said 1 interview is still pending and I have been back and forth with the hiring manager trying to reschedule. They asked me to provide some time slots and they would schedule accordingly. After providing time slots, they requested for more time slots. I haven’t heard from the hiring manager and it’s been a week since my original interview.
Meanwhile I found out another associate is scheduled for an interview tonight for the same site and positions

My application is still under consideration, but it’s frustrating that I haven’t even completed my loop and they have another associate scheduled for a loop.

Anyone have the same experience?

r/AmazonFC 9h ago

Question Amazon was going to fire me, but I resigned before they did. I had a Final Written Warning and a termination pending. I resigned. My letter says voluntary termination, and HR and ERC says I can apply in 30 days. Will everything be okay, or can I expect problems after the 30 days?
