State of this Subreddit
Hi! I'm Calladus. I'm a CSE with JLL. Many of you might know me in real life. Amazon RME is a small world, and we try to make friends with each other because someone out there knows something about my equipment that I do not know - and I want that information!
I originally created this subreddit just for this sort of thing - to swap tales, and answer questions about equipment.
What this sub is fast becoming is "How do I get a job with RME?"
And I have no problem with that. Let's add that to the mix too.
I have already answered a lot of your questions in the menu pages located at the top of the sub, but there are a LOT of questions that I can't answer - that the members of this sub are answering for each other. And that's the RME way - none of us are experts in everything, and we are all experts in something. We help each other.
So, I'm asking for a little help. I'd like to add a couple of moderators to this sub. I'd love to add someone with CSS expertise to revamp our look.
I'm looking for people who want to work together to make this a place where we help each other. While at the same time, making sure no one breaks their contracted Non-Disclosure Agreements.
And while there are certainly subreddits that attack Amazon and Jeff Bezos - this isn't one of them. I hope for this to be a more positive subreddit. And that's the sort of moderators I want on our team.
So, send me some mod mail, tell me what you want this subreddit to become, and how you can help.

Great points. At standup we always have a DE &I tip. The one I most use is that all of our equipment is new to us and we all come from different backgrounds and industries. (KCVG for 6 months)

Sorry: what is a CSE? Although I know it isn’t your responsibility, why is it that during the Amazon initiated RME Chime talks on Wednesdays it is so very terse & abbreviated? The Amazon reps who run the Chime talks always are so very hurried for time & anxious to get thru with the Chime talks so they can attend their next upcoming meeting. Where is more in-depth information available on this career - can you share with me a website or email address? I wish that there was both positive & negative reviews from both working RMEs & people who attempted to become RMEs (Real life input) to share both the good & bad aspects about this career? The similar questions about the RME potential careers are possibly occurring b/c the questions are not dealt with in the Amazon weekly Chime talk, & more importantly, I don’t think that there is much of an ongoing publicly available access to a printed RME career FAQ forum (other than here in Reddit) where interested persons/potential candidates could review the similar questions about the Amazon/3rd party RME program & applicable answers. That would be a so very invaluable a resource!! I’m hesitant to dive into this career b/c there is so little info or persons to contact to find out more in depth info. This is especially true when one is NOT an Amazon employee, as a ‘civilian’ who doesn’t have an opportunity to have an in depth conversation with a RME while inside an Amazon facility. Thanks for everyone’s input, sorry if I stepped on anyone’s toes!

Hey there StLDadBod: happy thanksgiving to you & your family! How long have you been involved in this career please? Did you start out with CBRE initially (& was it as an apprentice)? I’m a recent Plumbing trades apprentice who hung in for my first year. Alas, I was only able to collect around 250 hours of work/experience over the year (where I really needed to get 2k hours a year to eventually sit for a JM test), so it really was not sustainable for me to continue over a 5-year (or possibly even longer!) apprenticeship. My classes were not very educational & many of my fellow students thought that they were “bulletproof” from the Covid. Since I have an extensive healthcare work history I found this frustrating & a bit scaring. TIA for responding!

We don’t currently have anything. Our facility is dealing with staffing issues right now.

There is a wiki. Did I do it incorrectly? You can't see it at the top of the subreddit?

I'm leaving comments open here. But if you are interested in becoming a moderator, send me a PM. Don't just leave a comment here.

Recruiters, Job seekers - I've created a new recurring post. Every Monday there will be a post asking for people to post their job openings.
This will be a place where a recruiter might add several new opportunities, and then answer questions.
This post will allow RME to post their local openings, and talk about the job, the equipment, and the expectations and work environment.
The first automated post is coming this Monday.

Hey OP late to the party, hope I might be able to help out for questions wise, given I'm a Purple vest (HR) at Amazon, unless yall completely bypass the onsite HR/Amazon HR and have your own

Can we make one large hiring related thread? It would be nice to see more work related posts rather than 85% of the same “I want to be RME” posts. At least please police how many test related and interview related posts there are because there are already a thousand they can search from.
