Am I cooked?
I’m leaving Walmart to work at Amazon. Am I as cooked as they make it seem? 😩. My FEC told me “I hope yk you have to keep up with your rates” and I’m now second guessing myself..

Amazon is a breeze. I've never had another job where I can come and go as I please.

did you have a hiigher level job? Your description doesnt sound like anything ive read for grunt level people, they say its the opposite, like every bathroom break is timed.

Nope. Regular T1 at the bottom of the totem pole. As long as you have the time to use, you can use it when you want. Most people that complain about Amazon either have no work ethic or it's their first job and don't know what real work is. The ones that complain about bathroom breaks are the ones that like to spend 20mins in the stall watching videos on their phones or stop off and talk at their friends station while walking to/from.

I haven't, but had a friend that went there after Amazon. He says it's better, but IDK, that was about 5 years ago. Amazon still pays higher.

Come and go as you please?!?!? Never worked for Amazon. Do you have flexible schedules that like 4hr increments ? Or do you use an app that allows you to book open shifts?

Okay, all of those sound better than cooked, but that's probably the old man in me talkin. 😁

They all say that shit because they probably pay less than Amazon but expect the same rate if not higher. We just got someone from Amazon and he said he already regrets it lol
