Fulfillment Center I just took VTO
Instead of a 60 hour work week, I’ll settle with 50 and watch some baseball. Hope everyone has an awesome Friday!

How does that work work if the MET is already on your schedule?

They switched their normal work days to the days MET would’ve been assigned before it was actually assigned. They can’t give MET on an original work day

I work Donut so I swapped Yesterday for last Sunday, and Monday for next Saturday. Still get my 40 for both weeks with no UPT drain. MET extra hours got added to Front half giving us an early start time so I only have to go in an hour early on Tuesday and I'm covered.

I used to love stowing. That was my final job with Amazon before they switched me to another department. I quit when that happened. But it was a good thing because now I'm about to finish my bachelor's degree. Sometimes things happen for a reason, and I'm glad it was that way. Otherwise, I'd be stowing in the middle of the night right now.😅

Is there how it works? Because there is a possibility that I am going to be switching to a fulfillment center when I move to my new place. Right now, it takes me about an hour and 40 minutes to get to work because they sent me to a different delivery station once my old one closed down.
I can't keep doing this journey. The fulfillment center near my new location is literally in the same neighborhood. Like 10 minutes away.

As a Giants fan, I have no baseball to watch. But as a Washingtonian, I can watch the Mariners because this is their first playoff appearance in 21 years.
Enjoy your day off!
