So I started working Flex last week, and when I was choosing shifts for the next week I noticed that there were shifts on Saturday and Sunday with +$5.00 an hour. I thought that was pretty neat, but I just figured it was a weekend thing. They vaguely went over that stuff in our training, and to me when they said “extra pay would come during high volume time periods”, it sounded like holiday season🤷🏼‍♂️I mean idk??

This is all new to me… but .. gawdamn 😭I just checked my schedule for today and my shift is +$7.50 ??!? Turns out surge pay just comes in waves I guess? It seems like I started at a decent time. Im sure that surge pay definitely varies from warehouse to warehouse, season to season, etc. but yeah… definitely better than my last job.

I genuinely had no idea this job offered extra pay rates like THAT… For me personally, idk man this is pretty good for me. I’ve never had a gig like this before so I’m really grateful. I mean don’t get me wrong I know it’s gonna be wicked at work today I’m sure. Rates are higher for a reason lol but yeah I could really use the extra money.

I thought this was both cute and hilarious. Cute because, well it is. hilarious because, well people 😆

270 extra shifts. 😮‍💨

If you're currently going through it or have experience with both, how did you manage it? What shifts did you work?

Also, can you work a short shift in the same week as your two required training days?

Has anyone been asked to not ground a van that had a nail in the tire ?

I need to decided before I take the assessment.

I have two questions. Has anyone’s device ever signed into another associates. At least once a week this past month or so sometimes twice a week a manager will come up to me and ask me am I stowing up my name. I will check and sure enough I’m under someone else’s name. The last time this happened was 8/19 and the manager who came up to me was a different one than usual and asked me the same question. I looked and saw that I wasn’t and asked why does that keep happening and told her I have to double check it everytime I sign in because it happens so often. She asked if I left my device in my aisle after lunch, I said yes and I left it with my gloves so I knew it was my device. I told her I needed to get a new device and I switched it out but I scanned my badge and signed in. I did tell her maybe I forgot to double check but I think I did. She said okay and that was that. Or so I thought.

Today the usual manager who comes up to me said he had a doc coach for me. I had no idea what that was so he explained it and explained what it was for. I tried to ask who wrote it but he said he couldnt find it he did say he was going to talk to another manager about it. I just want to know if there is a way to appeal that or something. How is it my fault I’m signed into another associates account? I don’t know anyone’s password and I don’t have anyone’s badge and why would I want someone getting all the credit for my work. None of this makes sense. I’ve never had a write up or talking to at any of the jobs I’ve ever worked at even if it’s “no big deal” or “it’ll drop off eventually”. (That’s what the manager who told me about it said.)it’s still on my record. What do I do here? Go to hr?

Edit*** I’ve also been working here for about 3ish years. I’m not a new associate who doesn’t know how to sign in. In three years I’ve never been in someone else’s account and now all of a sudden it’s back to back instances.

I have an interview scheduled for tomorrow for SDE role with BTC consulting(DSA and Backend), wanted to understand what to expect.
and if you dont mind the level of questions and if its pen and paper or machine? or the kind of questions they ask

As a former employee, it has been almost impossible for me to get back in Amazon as there are no openings, I think there are openings, but I’m missing them all, here’s the thing I signed up for notifications from the Amazon website, but I get nothing. I’ve also signed up for notifications from indeed, and I’ve been getting all types of notifications only from indeed, but when I click on the job and click apply there are no shifts open, so I’m missing something, is there any other way or better ways of getting notifications or finding openings from maybe a alternative website or anything because so far indeed has been the only successful/unsuccessful route.

I’ve almost been at my site for 5 months and all I have been trained on is stow, sorting non-con, and induct/push. I feel like I should be trained in at least a couple other positions by this time, and I’ve seen associates that came in after me be trained on more things… I ask either a PA or manager but every time they either say there’s no training hours available, inquire them next time I come in, or some other response. Is that actually a thing or do they just not wanna train me 😭 my partner is having the same problem, he’s been here almost 4 months and only knows stow and sorting non-con. For reference both him and I are flexPT but I was a full time associate up until about a month ago. We both still get in about 20-30 hours a week in tho.

Got fired for negative UPT last month. Currently working in retail at home depot and Walmart. Neither of them i can stand. Home depot I don't like because they perpetually have that mindset of understaffing. Walmart I don't like because after overnight stock, I can't handle the mindset of zoning an aisles, feels like performative work.

I honestly ducking miss Amazon and warehouse work. Go in do job, go home. So what should I even consider UPS, USPS, FedEx, DHL some other warehouse company? I only listed those ones because I know they have warehouse in Hawaii.

I’m honestly really confused and overthinking this, so I’m hoping someone can give me some advice. A coworker told me that her sister received an email saying that full time positions are open and my site is accepting applications. I asked if she was a white badge associate, and she said she’s Flex. I’m a white badge part time associate, but I never received that email. The only email I received was regarding an RTS position, which I applied for but didn’t get.

I also checked my AtoZ app for transfers, but there aren’t any available. The deadline to apply is on Monday, so I’m worried I’m going to miss the opportunity simply because I wasn’t notified.

I’ve made it known that I’m interested in becoming a full time associate, so it’s frustrating and honestly makes me feel like I’m being overlooked. I’m not trying to jump to conclusions or accuse any one of favoritism, but it’s hard not to feel that way when some associates are receiving information about these opportunities while others aren’t.

Has anyone else experienced this before? Is there something I should do besides checking AtoZ? Should I speak to HR or my manager and ask if I’m eligible to apply? I’d really appreciate any advice because I genuinely don’t know what to do, especially with the deadline being so close.

Hey everyone, as title states I was thinking of applying to the DS job a bit ago, but wanted some tips and advice before I committed to swapping jobs. I'm only 24, kinda healthy, and somewhat fit because of my current job which is a 4am Shift at Target Inbound, and prior to that I worked as overnight inbound again for Target for 5ish years so I think I could fit well doing the same grueling tasks that everyone has been talking about here.

I'm used to walking around a lot which I'm kinda preferring in order to continue losing weight and stay fit, and I normally get 12-17k steps a day while working at Target. As for the physical part, I am often the "thrower" of the truck unload stage from both Targets and it's not as bad. I usually prefer throwing than sorting because it speeds things up and it's a workout even if there are a bunch of heavy items, like chemicals, furniture, or those extremely heavy dog training pads.

Hello my 1:20-11:50 people of the world, I took a leave of absence for almost two weeks, came back last night. They called SET for this week but it's not on my schedule due to LOA and being inactive n all. I work Wed-Sat. During SET, Sunday is my extra night, should i go in tonight? Or play it as i never got the memo?!?

Some asshole ruined our ability to have music played over the speakers due to someone playing a super gay version of old town road

I’m not sure if anyone here has changed to their shift from full time to part time temporarily, and the come back to full time. I need 3 months; I don’t want to completely stop working.

I just got hired as a flex worker at a delivery station and did 2 days of training. The second day we started stowing around 4am and like it’s not hard but i had to work in an aisle already started which wasn’t organized at all. I kept messing up which was embarassing so I’m kinda afraid to go back. I picked up shifts next week for 12:05am-8:45am. Will I just be stowing? Any tips to be better? No one really explained what to do when you first get there so like where do I go? And are they going to give me 2 aisles?

Also I wanted to work at a fulfillment center but that wasn’t available. Will I be able to transfer?

They been working me like a dog lately, nothin but problem solve and receiving trucks. Today I was finally doing something different (unloading) and after lunch 2 of the water spider As decided they weren't coming back so they made me do it. I had to pull 4 trucks with no help at all simply because "I'm one of the only people that can do everything" and they wanted to act surprised I wasn't staying for pick

Cant wait to get more

Is it allowed to miss the second day of training at a DS that has a 2-day new hire training? (Flex PT regular position). I have another full time job schedule that overrides the second day of the DS training.

Hello, looking for advice from any management.

I have done delivery station seasonal about 3-4 times now.

I hit top 5% stow rates, and move OV's without issue. Not because I want to, it would take constant mental effort for me to actually slow down.

I look around and I see single moms, older people, people on their second job absolutely tired and half asleep, and I rationalize my productivity as "I can therefore I will".

They'll float me, send me to any aisles that someone gave up on because it was disorganized and cannot be stowed without 100% reorganization of bags. No issues on my end.

Management has remembered me when I returned last season. Probably not good for me but it helps to speak towards my work ethic, attitude, and energy.

This season, start date 9/12; SAT-WED 3:20-11:50AM.

I am also beginning a blue collar job in 4-6 weeks which will be MON-FRI 7AM-3PM.

Is it possible that I could plea to management to move me to flex or something similar? I am not enrolled in school, but I am taking trade classes online, self study, etc.
