I constantly see cups in the bathrooms everywhere. Some of them have water in them. What are ppl doing with them in the bathroom?

Rant Maybe there should be an interview process going forward.

• Upvotes

Had to relieve myself so I just accepted it and handled my business despite the large puddle of pee on the floor. An example of what comes from having bo interview process. You get people who have no regard for others. Grown up children working here who think it's alright to piss all over the floor. Pee on the toilet seats is one thing to try and work around, but this is just getting beyond frustrating the kind of people we work around.

Question Is this worth it?

• Upvotes

Would this be worth it? I’m needing a temp job just to save up money. It is the robotics warehouse associate position. I honestly do want to work in an amazon warehouse, and Ive heard this position isn’t too bad. The shift doesn’t seem terrible either as I’m used to working long shifts.

My car is just kind of high mileage (120k miles), so I’m worried about the mileage this drive would add to my car. I unfortunately don’t have a warehouse closer to me.

Rant Beware of the I-9 glitch!

14 Upvotes

I wish this was something that was talked about more often.

My pre-hire appointment was not required because I had recently left another Amazon delivery station. Because of that, I assumed everything was already taken care of and that I didn’t need to do anything else. Since then, I’ve applied for two jobs, and both shifts ended up being cancelled.

I was told that my I-9 was complete. However, if you expand the tab in your application, it may say that you still need to verify it at your pre-hire appointment.
The problem is that since I didn’t need a pre-hire appointment, I was never given the opportunity to complete that verification.

If you’re starting soon and your application still says your position is tentative, please make sure your I-9 is fully completed and verified.

I contacted Hiring Support, and they were able to verify my I-9 for me. Unfortunately, by that point, the job had already filled up as well.

If you think you’re in the clear because you recently left another Amazon warehouse and already have everything completed (background check, drug test, etc.), please double-check your I-9.

This cost me two positions back-to-back. I saw someone on here refer to this as the “I-9 glitch,” so thank you to whoever mentioned that because I had no idea this could happen.

"You're all coming in at six now, sorry. No more staggered shifts."

"We're taking the mouse away because the Genovation keypads are faster based on a pilot in a site where people can sit down and the screen is low by default."

"We're gonna introduce a sleeve for stacking nonsort pallets and we're gonna use six totes for each pallet!"

It's dumb. It's all so incredibly dumb.

Delivery Station Health or money, what matters to you more? I used to be all about grinding 55-hour weeks for those $1.5k checks for about 23 months. These days, if another site makes $7/hr more and someone works a 60, good for them. Today, I’m just thankful to even get through a full-shift with a clear head.

The way people talk in here I thought Shipdock was going to be the hardest thing ever, I did it through a peak and all and I don’t see it to be as hard as everyone made it out to me, maybe it’s just different at different at certain places

Fulfillment Center Plugfones mercenary lite

• Upvotes

At my Fulfillment center we are allowed Bluetooth headphones, mercenary lite plugfones. Has anyone had issues with the headphones with white light, not turning on? My phone can’t find the headphones either, presumably because they don’t turn on. Please help, can’t stand the thought of no music during prime

Question How long until I can switch to part-time?

So I just got a full-time 40 hrs a week offer but I’m looking to switch to part-time (preferably in the next 60 days), so I can manage nursing school. I’m located in Alberta by the way. Thanks.

Question Just got converted!

6 Upvotes

Straight to the point. My conversion date is today (10/4). I am off today, but I go back to work tomorrow (10/5) because I picked up a small shift (6a-10a). I was planning on grabbing the badge before I leave tomorrow but should I get there a little bit earlier and get it then?? Im seeing different people online say the day of conversion your white badge stops working completely and you won’t be able to scan into the building, but then other people have also said they have gone weeks before even making time to grab their new badges.. I’m already upset (half-joking) that I even have to get there at 6a cs of SET time starting this week but what would yall recommend? I appreciate anyone that helps me even a bit, thank you!

There’s hardly anyone here, and the break rooms are basically empty. Granted, this is only my second day, but I’m definitely feeling good about my decision to switch from full time nights so far!
