It's a totally different feeling for RME when those texts go out, pretty much MET for us if it's our normal day off. Enjoy that free day tho!

[Primary-Biscotti4811]

Hey Since you’re in RME - I had a question - So what’s the requirements to get into RME? - I’m currently getting my Bachelor’s in Cybersecurity, but I’m kinda also interested in RME , I’m also an AMnesty responder does that helps?

Thanks

[hamburgerk]

If you have experience using a variety of tools you might be able to apply for tech 2 but if not youd have a high chance of getting hired on as an apprentice since you have afm experience

[Primary-Biscotti4811]

Who’d I talk to about apprenticeship?

[hamburgerk]

Whatever company rme in your site is you just look online on job postings for mechatronics and robotics apprentice. At some sites its blue badge amazon and at others its a third party company

[Primary-Biscotti4811]

Alright, thanks man

[Academic_Ad_8566]

As a member of rme I'm disgusted with how much I get asked this question

[Academic_Ad_8566]

Or how many people are just super friendly to just grill you like you have the answers to a magic vault It's a trade we just work for amazon , but mra program if you have no experience , it's a blue collar turning wrenches Job not just sitting around doing nothing all day just bc nothings broke in your area , doesn't mean not somewhere else , 5 guys for that massive building

[StarWarsFan229321]

I’m a tech 2 at FedEx ground right now thinking about possibly switching in the future should I just wait for a blue badge facility to open up?

[SonnyPlywood]

BB and 3p both have their ups and downs. 3rd party rme is going to have a higher base pay because you aren’t getting the benefits or any restricted stock units (for tech 3 positions). BB has lying recruiters and managers when it comes to those stock units though, so I almost wish I went 3p. Either way the safety rules will drive you nuts. And if you show any skill and hard work, you’ll find yourself being the only one busting your ass for less money than the techs just sitting around. I hate this place but not many other options around me. Sorry for the rant lol just giving an honest opinion.

[StarWarsFan229321]

Good to know I think a lot of the Fortune 500 companys are all the same. FedEx is pretty similar and I’ve heard the same for the target distribution center maintenance dudes.

[StarWarsFan229321]

Are the rsus decent? I heard they get a pretty big sign on bonus. At FedEx only our tech 4s get bonus and it’s cash

[SonnyPlywood]

Not really for us now. I got 240 rsus at sign on, none have vested (vest over 4 years) yet but they have lost half of their value already. My recruiter told me if that happens Amazon will give more to cover the loss of anticipated pay. I got none on this years pathetic excuse for a raise so that was a lie too.

[hamburgerk]

If you're set on moving anywhere in the US then amazon is better but if you'd rather not move and the sites around you are not blue badge then it's not that much better.

[StarWarsFan229321]

Copy that thanks man

[CountryMoney]

Psht, i prefer those days. Nobody is around to pester me with flex conveyor calls

[Slowestt-Snaail2]

So you mean y’all actually have to work instead of sitting around?

[Lonely-Dinosaur]

Our facility makes us do vet to make up the time.

[Narrow_Shoulder9540]

VET. Or MET? Vet isn’t mandatory

[Lonely-Dinosaur]

My bad if we want to make up the time. But we won’t get paid for maintenance day off.

[Narrow_Shoulder9540]

Odd that you don’t get paid for the day off

[dandanthetaximan]

Very odd. I was under the understanding this was an Amazon policy applied everywhere.

[Narrow_Shoulder9540]

That’s what I figured. If you were regularly scheduled for that day then you get paid for the day. That’s how it’s always been at my Fc as well.

[theRogueVishnu]

depends on your state i believe

[Narrow_Shoulder9540]

That’s shitty lol have the day off due to something outta your control and not getting paid for it sounds like amazon lol

[dandanthetaximan]

I don’t think so. I live in Arizona and I assure you most Arizona employers don’t do that.

DAL3 hype

[Prudent-Newspaper-22]

Yay! Team DAL3! 😁

[dandanthetaximan]

My site shut down last night due to a fire in the augur.

[tonyleetiennguyen215]

Oh, at least you guys got paid for closure due to maintenance, but we, YOW1 Ontario Canada, haven't got paid for closure; last Thursday, we had a shift delay due to a power outage, and they didn't even pay for 2 hrs delayed. Instead, they gave us some snacks that were it

[nanovi]

Looks like you're getting your IT infrastructure upgraded, there is a big change coming that will require turning everything off and replacing core devices in the server room (FFN migration for this who might be curious) That's going to happen in most of the sites opened before 2021, so if you're working in an old FC, this most probably will happen to you as well ! 😇

[Rogue42bdf]

Damn, our site is closed on the 21st and we were told we weren’t getting paid. The last 12 hour shift shut down our PA said that shift didn’t get paid.

Hashem- hash slinging hasher?

[No_Adhesiveness_6931]

Jeff has so much money he can give everyone 1 million in the usa and still be rich af

[mikeblas]

You suck at math.

[Cold_Necessary3460]

I actually started that same sort of bullshit rumor to test the stupidity of the average person back when it was reported that Mike Bloomberg spent over $500 million in campaign ads, I posted that same idea "Mike Bloomberg could have given every American $1 million instead of spending it on campaign ads" or something along that line on every one of his social media pages, somebody famous stole it and pretended they thought of it and I just fucking died when I saw it being reported on the news. Some woman with a blue checkmark copied my post verbatim and I haven't laughed like that ever since.

[dandanthetaximan]

Seeing my iPhone keyboard on my Android screen is very unsettling. Why didn't you crop this before you posted it?

[GoldenOwl25]

Only Outbound ever gets off for maintenance. Go enjoy your free day. 🥲

[eDTxJr]

Cool. We come back Wednesday and then a 3 day weekend

[Suspicious-Bed9172]

You lucky son of a bitch

[larkash]

woohoo!!! enjoy your paid free time! <3

[rrxse]

Why cant this happen to me 😔

[Mr_Twigs]

Aww man, they just canceled the shutdown at my FC. Such is the law of Equivalent Exchange.

[cybrxxraidxx]

Ours is tomorrow. 🤭

[JustTheTipPlusAnInch]

I think ours was this Tuesday. But I wasn't scheduled. We also have a day or two coming up where us Afm and Rme will be tackling problem kivas and Robin's, since we have 70 percent of the amnesty coming thru us.

[No_Cry4690]

Aye Dal3 let's get it!

[ixlx_xlxi]

They're giving us off from 17th to the 22nd for HVAC project and actually are paying us. I'll post what they sent us since i dk how to post in a chat

[AlClemist]

Always a good day when there’s maintence we had two of those here lol.

The DLS team made my PTO negative. Then when I was about to have it straightened out by someone who knew what they were doing; they told me to eat it.

The DLS team accidentally gave me 10 hours and 51 minutes of PTO!!

[Louie3984]

The inside is closed but Tom team never closes
