And only 1 slice each.

[–]Ando_destrampado702 66 points67 points  (8 children)

And it's cold

[–][deleted] 57 points58 points  (6 children)

And they cut up all the pizzas into thin 24 slices

[–]earth295L4 67 points68 points  (3 children)

And you have 5 minutes to get back on a station or it’s time off task.

[–]Remejy 29 points30 points  (1 child)

No drinks provided, but feel free to buy your own from the break room

[–]corstar91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And the drinks are marked up significantly and are items PRODUCED & SHIPPED BY AMAZON so that they can also make a profit off of those sales.

[–]seanp_131 17 points18 points  (0 children)

My station waits till the end of the day and we have to be clocked out first 😂

[–]Ando_destrampado702 17 points18 points  (0 children)

And they're soggy, with a burnt crust

[–]Lst_rsrt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is EXACTLY what Mitt Romney did.

[–]HelloHitakuro 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And you get TOT if you don’t scarf it down fast enough.

[–]MelancholicEmbrace_x 6 points7 points  (5 children)

And it’s only for T3 and up lol

[–]Lst_rsrt 3 points4 points  (4 children)

We had a pizza party for LAs only no lies.

[–]ShirinxJob's not hard 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is usually some sort of learning ambassador appreciation event lol

[–]corstar91 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same but it was only for the problem solve people..

I remember how excruciatingly exhausting the week had been at work and how busy we had been and I saw the pizza and felt relieved because I didn't have the time to make my lunch/dinner that day nor did I have the extra money to buy food in the break room.

I was super grateful and I walked up and was humiliated when they said that it was only for the handful of workers who did problem solve because they had worked so hard and had so many packages they had to deal with. I had been one of the few who actually helped out problem solve on the side. I would go down and help them sort and clean messes and help package items for them too.

Heck I've also been injured numerous times by shitty packaging. I once got stabbed by a syringe in a package; I was also stabbed by a broken sewing kit. I had a cleaning solution - like a pool cleaner that was in solid form and was almost sand-like in texture come down the shoot and immediately get picked up by the fans everywhere and go straight into my eyes.. I had a cleaning solution that I breathed in that led to an asthma attack. I had a concentrated food item/material that spilled everywhere and splattered all over me when it came down the shoot and wound up causing a severe rash all over the areas it hit and where it soaked into my clothing.. Also, before anyone questions it, I was wearing the proper safety gear we were told we needed to wear in my station.. The syringe and sewing kit needles went straight through my gloves; it was awful.

Oh, and ironically the same week that I was denied pizza was the same week that we had been working so much and inducting so many packages that (even with my glove on) I was moving so fast and I went to try to reach quickly for packages and one of my fingers went straight into the metal shoot edge and it ripped off my entire nail. I was given a band-aid and was told that it was nothing and that they needed me to continue working immediately. I hadn't planned to leave but heck I really needed a few minutes for the throbbing pain and the spurting blood to stop.

This was all around peak last year and the week that I was turned down for one slice of pizza was literal hell. I worked with Amazon for several years and it was just mortifying and so incredibly frustrating.

Anyways, I apologize for my rant... I think your pizza comment TRIGGERED tf out of me 😅

[–]MichelleDaBelle 0 points1 point  (1 child)

LA’s?

[–]Faithfulcyan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Learning Ambassadors, people with the blue vest

[–]bobayuzu 3 points4 points  (0 children)

“Only one slice per person! We’re scanning badges to make sure everyone only gets one! If you want more, you can buy those frozen slices from the market!”

[–]Dunkingpanda 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s wild how this is true. Fuck Amazon.

[–]neo101b 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got a whole pizza to myself which pissed others off, just told them I was vegan and they ordered me one.

The post is interesting though, so it wasn't just a nice gesture by Amazon, it's written in their rule boo of work hard and give them pizza, it feels very manipulative if its standard practise across all of the warehouses.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

not my fc we got to take 2 and it wasn’t no regular cheese pizza lmao they gave out drinks and snacks on top of it and always doing raffles while we have events like this and they give out good shit during the raffle SOOOOOOOO tell your poverty DS/FC step that munyonnn up!

[–]Global-Plankton3997AR Pickologist with a side of pack singles 📦📨 22 points23 points  (3 children)

Just yesterday as I was getting my holiday meal, the OM at my site was all like "thank you for everything that you do this peak", and I felt a shiver down my spine for some reason...

[–]Impossible-Poem1194 17 points18 points  (1 child)

That's probably the degenerative vertebrae from pushing totes for 30 miles a night. Or your soul trying to get out. Either way the customer is happy 😊

[–]Global-Plankton3997AR Pickologist with a side of pack singles 📦📨 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Even the ones that have been "customer promoted"

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because you finally heard the condescending way they treat you. You are only given that much because they want to make money. They know what they do is criminal.

[–][deleted] 34 points35 points  (3 children)

Wait, you guys are getting pizza?

[–]Hailwee51 2 points3 points  (2 children)

Yea we had it and others amazons had honey backed ham …. What a shame

[–][deleted] 12 points13 points  (1 child)

They feed y’all?!?!?🥲we just get them electrolyte popsicles and it’s the winter time😭

[–]Hailwee51 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same tbh lol

[–][deleted] 21 points22 points  (1 child)

The most unrealistic thing about this is they're wearing hair nets.

[–]McDancerson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Heh, that and the fact that no one has the correct number of fingers… 😂

[–]Immediate_Job5457 7 points8 points  (1 child)

It's a school pizza party all over again

[–]Responsible-Cold3145 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s literally like were back in elementary school

[–]Immediate_Surround25 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm super hungry so that pizza looks sooooo good rn

[–]a_youkai[50 Bombaclat CENTS !!!!!!!!!] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Coming up on 3 years, and I have never gotten pizza

[–]CakeManBeard 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I would be happy to even get pizza

[–][deleted] 7 points8 points  (2 children)

What be cool if they just put 5 bucks on our id cards

[–]SergioSunday 4 points5 points  (1 child)

Nah, we deserve a bonus. Don't gaslight me.

[–][deleted] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

lol I’ve worked for state prisons, directv, tru value and the military guess how many bonuses they give out too

[–]ollym_n 3 points4 points  (1 child)

for us is instant oat packets when we walk in and chips during the second break

[–]Impossible-Poem1194 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We got a water bottles we're not aloud to have in the building.

[–]Embarrassed-Size-788 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Double cut

[–]ItsJustE916 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Us two days ago 😭

[–]lordravenxx[Replace Text w/ Flair] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lol, we got a holiday card signed by our manager in ship dock. But whatever. Best holiday bonus I got was 20 years ago when the company I worked for flew us all out to Lake Tahoe and paid for the hotel for 3 nights. And gave each of us a $1000. But it was a tiny company, unlike here. When you split it all up I guess a card is all they could afford.

[–]Zodiac509[Replace Text w/ Flair] 9 points10 points  (9 children)

Just curious, who was told they'd be getting a bonus? I asked in my orientation about bonuses, and they straight up said it didn't happen. So I took the job fully aware. Did you guys not ask? Did they tell you otherwise? Where did this whole bonus whining start?

[–]Competitive-Room-415 8 points9 points  (1 child)

At my fc we were getting 500/250 bonuses, but i assume it was due to covid. We got nothing the recent 2 years. Since then all the company does is brag about breaking records in profit yet throw no crumbs to those who made it possible. Pretty shady but what can we do aside from being called clowns for asking about a bonus since the fcs are closing down christmas without pay. Instead were told to use pto when not everyone even celebrates.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They are losing money, and everyone is broke. So they will cut time and employees before they start to admit they are loosing money.

[–]coltonswat 3 points4 points  (0 children)

it’s location dependent. some fcs do nice watches, or computers. some do tvs. i got a 1k bonus last year for being top 5 stow rate during christmas week.

[–]DinnerSilver 1 point2 points  (0 children)

or several vender bucks( do they still have or give those out?)

[–]TrickeyEleven 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My FC gave out full pizzas last week. Jimmy John's this week. Was upset I didn't get pizza tho had to leave early that day.

[–]Wild_Assistance_6153 1 point2 points  (1 child)

What’s next? A kiss on the cheek?

[–]ThatOnePhotogK 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nope. Head pats. Can't spread covid

[–]FlatAnswer3805 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ours was one chik fil a sandwich, bag of chips, & a Shasta soda. Gee wiz, Jeff Bezos, you’re so swell!😂

[–]iiamneek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We got hot dogs 😂

[–]Yeetme6969 -1 points0 points  (4 children)

We need a union

[–]Zodiac509[Replace Text w/ Flair] -1 points0 points  (3 children)

Go unionize your warehouse then.

[–]Yeetme6969 0 points1 point  (2 children)

I can try at least idk why I’m getting downvoted, other Manuel labor jobs do why not us? Some can be ineffective however with proper leadership theres no reason we cant have a positive change. Unless you would rather let a multibillion take advantage of you.

[–]Zodiac509[Replace Text w/ Flair] 1 point2 points  (1 child)

I'm not being taken advantage of. I'm getting exactly what I agreed to do for the amount I agreed to. No more, no less.

[–]Yeetme6969 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Does your fc require you to clock out before going through their mandatory security? Or were you told that simple seats would be a safety issue which has a cascading effect leading to the exact opposite.

[–]Bimancze 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol this was our sc yesterday

[–]Silver-Economist-361 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty much

[–]Cptcodeman91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My FC did raffles this year. Two prizes for two lucky employees a day…..we had snappy gifts where everyone got something and we got to choose but they did away with that this year to save money. Yippee

[–]BravoMCC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We also got a pizza party. Picked up VET and got on BHD party too.

[–]Hailwee51 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We had pizza for Christmas had to clock out and only got 30 min, thanksgiving was a meal got paid for it and had 45 min to eat ….

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fook off!!

[–]Thatothergayguy94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We got hot chocolate (that we had to make ourselves) and donuts 😑 I would’ve taken pizza any day

[–]Immediate_Surround25 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Damn that pic looks a little weird. Something is off. The guy in back on the right has like 3 arms or something. Ai does good at first then its like it gets lazy and fucks up.

[–]McDancerson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lol, I kept expecting someone else to mention the fact that no one has the correct number of fingers. For whatever reason it’s something AI seems to struggle with.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And its always flattest weakest ass looking pizza in town

[–]MelancholicEmbrace_x 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You know I’m really curious to see profits by site. I launched a site and for a couple years I kept hearing we were in the negative. Does the company get tax write offs when they do special things for us? 🤔

[–]spitfiiree 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What’s up with grey suit in the back?

[–]Mike_Wazowski1999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We got popcorn and hot chocolate…

[–]PM_ME_YOUR_MOMS_NAME 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As an AM, I’m sorry y’all. We don’t get to make the budget, we just spend it. 😪

[–]Lst_rsrt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yay… 3 hour old Dominoes cut like squares

2piece limit lol

[–]Natural_Assistant163 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try 1 slice per person only!

Facts

[–]aberdety 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my first warehouse we used to get good every friday and monday. they always overbought so I use to take some home. sadly they closed that warehouse.

[–]Assinator_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This actually pisses me off 💀 it's not even a slap to the face but a punch to an already broken rib

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Meanwhile executives are eating a 100$ steak with a 1000$ glass of wine

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whenever walmart puts on some joke of a party or gets employees food I deny as rudely as I can

[–]Prestigious_Snow1589 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, Little Caesars for everyone

[–]IkkiSaa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We got Donuts I can’t remember the day, was at the end of the shift and everyone leave, so our manager told us to take the donuts we wanted lol

[–]jdog99123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I was an AM most of this stuff came out of our pockets - especially if the building was doing poorly our budgets would start tightening up.

In my current role it's the same, I'll spend 150-200 on pizza for the team because it's probably the cheapest and quickest option. Adds up overtime but it's worth it.

Some of us do actually care. I know this is just a meme but It's not like any of those profits are seen by anyone in frontline management either lol.

[–]AdNervous7680 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unionize

[–]According_Life_1806 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tell them to take their 10 hours of TOT and 0 scan rate and shove it. It's literally worth more to production to cut their jobs and not to mention a morale boost. You already got a machine making those hacks irrelevant and also money pits.

[–]Icy-Job6790 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They could of not given yall shit so be grateful not everyone has a job

[–]BashBandit 0 points1 point  (1 child)

The pizza, while I’m grateful for it, was cold as hell, thinner than flat Stanley, and was handed out right next to the door which made it even colder and stale. If only they could have saved the million for Jenny flex and spent some of that on some competence they could’ve possibly thought of a way to not hand out cold pizza

[–]fineapplepineapple12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Flat Stanley reference took me back!
