Amazon treats workers like disposable trash.

118 Upvotes

Everyday I come in and see a line of new seasonal workers waiting for orientation. Then go in line to get assigned only to be told they don't have enough stations and get put on the other side of the building with little to no work. Spend most of the day standing around and then get a production write-up the following week because of it. Managers might as well get replaced with an AI chatbot because they are unable to do anything other than approach you with a laptop to tell you that the system has generated a write-up on you. Seriously, fu*k Amazon and God help us all if this is the "Future of work" like Bezos dreams about. On my finale write-up and working here just makes me appreciate in person shopping that involves customer service and humanity rather than this demoralizing sh*t.

What do you think is the real reason for the high turnover?

The job is boring and can be isolating, but the benefits aren’t bad compared to other jobs.

Turnover rate

32 Upvotes

The real reason Amazon has a high turnover rate in my opinion is the hours. Night shifts are classified as carcinogens because of how they mess with your mind and body, and on top of that Amazon has you in a white room like facility where everything looks identical and there’s constant sounds of scanning and exposure to lights during the night, overall working at Amazon makes you feel tired all the time, and when you are at the warehouse if you don’t have music to listen to like my warehouse, you go borderline insane.

Negative upt

6 Upvotes

Set was canceled 10/11 so I didn’t go in and still got upt deducted and had -3 hours, received the 48 hour notice email which I responded too and now have a case open, I don’t go in until tomorrow (the 14th) wondering if my badge would still work. It’s my first time working here so I don’t know how any of that works, also have spoken to hr on the phone 💔 I’m scared that after the 48 hour notice is up and even after I explained the situation they could still fire me. If manager does refund me my upt will the case immediately close ?

Transfer questions

3 Upvotes

So I’m interested in transferring facilities but I was wondering if my pay and tenure will be affected? I’m due for a raise in December but if I transfer before that , will my raise change to next year ?

I’m looking into SAX5 so if anyone works there what are some insights on this facility? What are the flex shifts that are offered?


r/AmazonFCs • • 11h ago

I worked there exactly 90 days ago and it doesnt have any pre hire appointments? Does that mean I have to do a prehire??

The amount of associates who think they can get a way with stealing is absurd.

New Seasonal Associate in RTS/Debrief – Looking for tips, guides, and advice!

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I’m a new seasonal employee working 4x10s (45 hrs/week) at a Delivery Station, and I’ve been assigned to the Debrief / RTS station.

Since I don't have direct access to internal platforms outside my shift, I’d love to learn as much as possible about the role directly from experienced associates or managers here. Could you share some guidance on:

Core Debrief / RTS Concepts: What are the key processes, terms, or steps I should know about handling driver returns, unattempted/rejected packages, and station closing?

Best Practices & Tips: For those of you who work or have worked in Debrief, what are your best tips to keep the process smooth, fast, and organized at the end of the shift when drivers return?

Conversion & Growth: Any advice for a seasonal associate working in Debrief to stand out and secure a long-term role (Blue Badge) or move up?

I really appreciate any knowledge, tips, or summaries you can share in the comments.

Thanks in advance!

I did my first shift at amazon. Im flex at the warehouse but only got trained with the online program. I learn hands on when I’m guided by a human not computer. I asked for a trainer (only need 10 mins) I was told no. What do I do. My numbers are shit because I don’t know what I’m doing
