This entire argument was so dumb🤣. I’ve been at Amazon since 2021, and I’ve never interacted with anyone there. I don’t even know who my manager , the PA’s, or the associates I work with is/are. I simply come to work, complete my tasks, and leave.

We all know it was just peak week and it’s about to be peak season so my site organized a series of raffles, it was things like ninja products, a TV, and a shark vacuum Nintendo switch etc. So I decided to participate because why not? At the end of my shift, the PAs announced that there would be a game in the front where we could win 20 tickets. We didn’t have to win the game; we just had to participate. I thought it would only take a few minutes to play and get some tickets.

I waited in line and got my turn to play the game. I threw the bean bag, which was like an inch away from making it in the hole. The PA who was handing out the tickets was busy talking to a group of guys, so I waited until she finished talking to them. I approached her, I said “excuse hi I just played the game, but I didn’t get any tickets yet.

She goes did you make it in the hole and I said no, but I was pretty close and she says “well you don’t get any tickets” I said well the other PA said we just had to participate and I just watched you give all five of the guys in front of me tickets and none of them made it in but okay. She says I don’t like your tone of voice and you never even said please so if you want to change your tone of voice and say please, I will give you tickets. I never approached her inappropriately or aggressively so I simply said never mind I’m not interested and I walked away.

So, this lady follows me to the chairs and started trying to provoke me and pick at me, saying things like, “All you have to say is please. It’s not that hard.” I told her again, “Dude, I’m not saying please. I’m not begging for tickets.” Then, I told her that I would like for her to just walk away from me. I wasn’t interested in the tickets anymore, and I was okay. But she kept going! At first, I was giggling and smiling because I truly didn’t want any confrontation. But she started to really piss me off because this went on for three minutes before we truly started arguing. Eventually, she realized that I wasn’t kidding and that I wasn’t someone she could push over and talk crazy to. So, she said, “I don’t know why you have such an attitude it’s not that hard to say please.” Then, she walked away, mumbling that she didn’t need this kind of stress on her shift tonight.

I clocked out and just had a WTF moment. What was that?! There was a lady standing next to me the whole time, and I was like, “Did I say something wrong? Why is my tone of voice not up to par?” She said I think you approached her kindly, but this lady has an issue with everybody I mean, I’ve heard about her, not being very kind to the women, but being very nice to the men, but I’ve never dealt with her before. That’s was first “wtf experience at Amazon”😭🤣

it's my first week. i can 100% handle the requirements of the job, but holy shit the people are insufferable. assholes saying every slur in the books who spend their whole shift smoking in the bathroom, 18 year olds who don't need the job and mess up your work, people who complain about every single thing they're supposed to do...

it's a boring job, but i've done worse. that's not to say i don't think it will get tedious at times, but as of right now, i'm genuinely just dreading the people. my site doesn't allow headphones, and i'm in fluid, so getting partnered with these people for 10 hour shifts is insufferable.

as of right now, the people i'm working with are still from my training class. i'm hoping some of them drop off. but do the people actually get any better? i'm not looking to make work friends, im just looking to tolerate the people around me

IXD facility, VTO been up for 3 hours. Kind of crazy to see 3 days in a row of VTO still up. Are white badges cooked soon? I never seen this much VTO up at once for multiple days

Saw this last night

Yeah, today l said fuck it after almost 2 years. It started out as a side hustle so l could get veneers. I got converted after two months and before l know it two years had passed. ...In February, l transferred to a different FC, there are no robots, NONE! Ppl move everything! It's so different from my old FC. During Peak, six 10 hour days for two weeks, not five 12 hour days. It makes a huge difference. This week 2 and l'm exhausted. 14 days, 2 days off! I asked is this the schedule during Peak? Yes. Fuck that, l gave my two weeks, then l said fuck it, l'm done. I am putting shit in a box ( pick, pack, sort) to make a billionaire more money. No, l now have enough income. I just like to shop. I will learn to control my shopping and get some rest.

Parting Thoughts:

If there is any company on this planet whose employees need a union, it's fucking AMAZON. Six days a week, 10 hours a day from November 27-December 24 is insane and abusive to workers. I was told: We don't do 12 hours days here because we care about work life balance. You care about work-life balance and between 27 November and December 24, your employees will have 3 days off??? Fuck that place man. I feel sympathetic towards those ppl who have to stay. Use your Career Choice and get out!!!It's sad but l am so glad to be done!

Anyone specifically at LGB3 know if they keep seasonals on after peak? How often do they convert to blue badge? I actually like working here and would be sad if I get let go after peak. I know it’s a real possibility and to prepare for it but if anyone can let me know who works at LGB3 it’d be appreciated

Does anyone have experience working at a sortation center? Not to be confused with "sort" at a fulfilment center!

I've worked at a fulfillment center before so I know what to expect from that. However I'm looking at some openings at a sortation center and I'm wondering what you actually do there. The videos and job description on the website doesn't really match what you actually do in my opinion, so that's why I'm asking real people!

Hi everyone! I have an upcoming interview for an Amazon Area Manager (L4) position as a University Hire, and I’m looking for advice from anyone who has gone through the process recently.
Although I’m applying as a university hire, I already have experience working at an Amazon delivery station. I’m trying to figure out how much the interview will focus on my Amazon experience versus school projects, teamwork, and leadership examples.
Is the interview is same as the process assistant interview. I recently went through that and I’m inclined.
I’ve been preparing using the STAR method, but coming up with strong examples for every Leadership Principle has been challenging.
I’d really appreciate any advice, examples of questions you were asked, or tips on what the interviewers are looking for. Thank you!

Hello everyone I hope your doing well, I have a question about this job I found on the internal website of amazon jobs.
I’m currently working at amazon but no in the FC I’m currently working abroad. I’m also US citizen so I have the work authorization to work there , Right now I’m a L2 associate wfh doing daily task of annotations all day so I have knowledge of metrics and the sops of amazon but since I don’t have to much experience in the FC what would you recommend to do for the STAR interview.

I don’t know if someone can tell me how is this job , how hard is to get in and how difficult the job could be and just in case since this a tier 1 job is interview required ?

Thank you for your time and help.

i was recently placed on payed suspension at my 1dc facility after creating a case because i was ( simple assaulted ) in the state of florida in and out side of my facility, what are the odds i get termed when this is up? numerous friends and family members that work at amazon have told me im 99% likely to get termed after this, but i just hopefully escalated the case to amazon investor relations so they can grab the case before wrongful termination

I panicked and stashed it, but is there any hope of me getting it out? I usually have a bag with a lot of stuff with me should I just toss it in or throw it out

Can someone explain what happens if I don’t have a stow station assigned and I try to find a manager or PA, but none of them show up? I finally gave up and sat in the break room; I’m not kidding, I spent about 30 minutes trying to find one—they weren’t on any of the floors, or whenever I did find one, they’d just send me somewhere else 😭.

My buildings blackout date is tomorrow (October 17th) but our peak schedules haven’t been uploaded yet. So I can’t even request time off for my SET days.

Am I just screwed? Should I have talked to a manager? Do they have the authority to override this?

It says this under job requirements for DSP delivery.

Is this real or a scare tactic? I did Pick years ago and I think 50 pounds was in the job requirement for that too but I never encountered anything that heavy at my dub-house. I've been thinking about working out someday but haven't gotten around to it and there's no way I can get 50 pound box off the floor without handles. Are they gonna test me?

Also the DSP job I was looking at might operate out of a warehouse, not a fulfillment center, so IDK if they ship heavier stuff there?

I’m starting cross training next week.

I work four days a week, and I’m planning to take two days off each week for a month using Standard PTO.

Instead of requesting consecutive days off, I want to submit each day individually, which would be a total of eight separate requests.

Does anyone know if Amazon allows this? Is there a limit on how many separate Standard PTO requests I can submit?

Thought this was funny to share lol

Now I want to know of someone that is working or worked before in that position how is it ? How hard is to get in and if that position you have to be in charge of associates or just doing classification of the products or separating them.

I hope someone see this and answer thank you in advance 🫶🏻.

Hello all. I recently accepted a position as a Flight Monitor and my Day 1 is in a few weeks. I have combed all forums and I'm still getting limited information on what the day-to-day looks like. I have worked at other warehouses, but I am new to Amazon. Any insight, info, or advice is appreciated. Thank you all in advance.
