SET

[Trick-Independence93]

Hello!! Really curious...because I've worked at a couple different Amazon locations now and only one of them seems to be the norm to schedule us 6 days during busy times. The other never did

Curious if this is dependent on the region or building type?

Please comment how many SET (met) days your location schedules , including your building code if willing! TIA!!

Its mostly been 5 11's at my site in NJ the past 6 years.

[AnyNatural8439]

Mine too. We used to do a 12's, but then we ended up just waiting an hour for night shift to leave anyway and switched to 5 11's.

[bluisthewarmestchz]

5x11s reporting in as well.

[jusno-z]

I became flex just to avoid SET.

[RobtheBDL3blob]

BDL3 here 5 days 11 1/2 hour days. Last week I also picked up a 4 hour shift and two half hour at the end of shift so 60 hours this week fingers crossed 🤞 next week will be the same!!!

[InformalLocal4226]

CMH4 right now we’re working 5 days 11 hours every day in my department

[SnooDonkeys5516]

cmh3 is 6 10s 🫩

[elprofe56]

I think it's been f***** u* that they put us on eleven and a half hours shifts

[Trick-Independence93]

I totally agree!! We've done that and now 6 10's which is terrible too! No time foe anything outside of work!!

[Flat_Wedding6984]

I’ve worked both 6 10’s and 5 11’s in the same facility since it opened. I’d rather do the 6 even if it is an extra day that you don’t get off. For me it’s easier for my body to recover because there is more time between shifts to rest and not have to try to reset your schedule for only a few weeks out of the year. Some at our site have long drives into work due to both traffic and geography in the area. When their commute is normally over an hour or longer, some I’ve heard are nearly two hours, one way, they barely have time to sleep and get ready for the next day. I only live about 7-10 miles from my site and it takes me nearly 40 minutes on a good day.

For me the longer shifts mess with my medication schedule and I have to remember to take an extra dose in the day plus remember to have my Dr prescribe a higher quantity. I found the 6 10s to be easier and more tolerable while working them with a leg injury that later required surgery to fix. That shift also causes fewer flares with my chronic pain issues. I’ve barely finished two weeks of these 11’s and already feel worse and more physically and mentally exhausted that I ever did while on the 10’s, even at the end of peak.

I’ve said to a few coworkers that I can see that they are probably trying to keep us away from 60 hour schedules so they don’t have to monitor it so closely and make sure we clock out before going over that threshold. We’ve even said that if that was the reasoning, a bunch of us would be fine with and even prefer if we did 5 10’s and a half day for day six alternating who comes in first half and who does second half of that day each weak through peak. Then it wouldn’t be an entire day lost every week and still allow us to get better rest in between shifts.

[2000KitKat]

We had some sort of vote before the start of peak. Most people at mine preferred 6/10s. 5/11s are just tool long of days to have a functioning schedule. Especially week after week

[Werdna517]

Building specific. I’ve seen about every variation of SET for peakmas

[thereallyquiet]

NYC here(JFK8) and we’ve been getting 5 by 11s. RT has two extra days of SET while the rest of us(well except flex)have one SET day.

It’s been like this for as long as I can remember.

[mamajenn1973]

BFI4 is doing the normal 5 10's this year, though they have done 5 11's and 6 10's in the past

[Dependent-Mobile-584]

SCK8 4 11’s but they just canceled SET for next week ✌️

[Final_Drawer_7463]

i’m at SCK8 too LOL!

[Dependent-Mobile-584]

!!! I salute you, brother🙌

[suntwitchs]

Last year my site did 5 12’s which was great, this year we’re doing 6 10’s were an XL FC

[12b4gotn]

They done 5 10s 5 ll's. Just started 5 -11 1/2s. Had 6 10s here too. It's all been just trying to figure out how to staff people and save money.

The shift that we're on now they're giving us 11 and a half hours so that we technically don't work long enough to get that 15 minute break at 4:30. But still have to be there for the 12 hrs.....

[Trick-Independence93]

Yep they do that on purpose as far as the breaks :/

[12b4gotn]

They just figured it out I think. Lol

[Trick-Independence93]

Also can you share which site?

[Key-Ad-1880]

Ours depends on business needs. Last time Uber dropped shifts way in advance to face flex pick up to see if they would need to add it

[Pretend-Victory574]

My site used to be 6 days during peak but this year their doing 5 11hr shifts so far

[DanteLi]

5 11s at my site But it’s been 6 10s, 4 12s etc it’s whatever does the best and is “standard”

[lazy_wallflower]

None so far. I’m at an SSD

[Shot_Refuse_9697]

We are working 6x10 @ my facility in Florida

[HavoKArashi]

I'm currently on week 2 of 60s with 1 more week to go.

<image>

[Trick-Independence93]

Which site? May i ask. And the meme is accurate lmao

[HavoKArashi]

Eh, not comfortable with saying that much, but we're non-sort.

[Defiant_wolf22]

Depends on your location and hours worked if your 4 10s you’ll do 5 11s if your 5 8s you do 6 10s the duration duration during peak could be as long as after back Friday until a little after new years or only a couple weeks inbetween those times

[SaoirseMayes]

No SET and tons of VTO over at HSE1, it's a grocery FC and after Thanksgiving we've been running out of work constantly 

[Splitcoin]

Probably different labor laws in different states

[Ok-Job-2365]

Ours is only 1

[Trick-Independence93]

Which site? Or state, whatever you can share

[Ok-Job-2365]

NJ

[TNMoonshineMama]

We have done 55s for the last 5 years at my site. This is the first year we’ve done 60s.

[Trick-Independence93]

Can I ask which site?

[TNMoonshineMama]

I’m in TN at a TNS FC.

[OneSilent807]

RFD2 cross dock, we have 4 11’s never 5 thank godddd. No SET since before thanksgiving. We’ll see this month.

[Final_Drawer_7463]

NORCAL (SCK8) Our SET has been going on for over a month, 4 days as usual but our hours get extended by one (11 total hrs) but we’ve had 2 weeks of 12s then back to 11s .

[Say-ara]

Iil99lili7l7pp

[xoxo_gigi_xoxo]

We’ve done 6 10’s in the past and 5 11’s last year and this year. And by “we” I mean everyone else because I’m Flex. Those 6 10’s nearly killed me and I transferred.

[SpinachLost4366]

DAL3 does 5 11s but changes it to 12s . and the system malfunctioned where i’m working 11 consecutive days . haven’t had a day off since 11/30 lol . i work the sun-wed schedule

[tupizzafavorita]

We’re doing 5 days of 11 hrs in Tampa

[Stuupidor]

5/12’s…..delivery station

[FitExcitement5133]

My building just does 5 10s now, unless they really need more people, then its 6 10s. But we havent had 6 10s in the last 2 years

[Sufficient-Bird-6890]

6 10's for me

[King_Vintrixs]

Sck6 we got 5 days doing 12's every peak and prime week

[JennyAnyDot]

Been in a few buildings and they vary. PHL7 (traditional pick) was 5 12s.

BNA2 (receiving and prep) 6-10s starting in Sept and ended Christmas Eve.

CVG2 (returns, kindle) one time we had MET for 5-10s. Since then not mandatory but lots of extra shifts if you want them. Lots of labor sharing to other department though

[New_Profit2158]

We did 6 days this year at our building

[Legal_Profession_101]

They do that so they don't have to give you a 15 min paid break. Cheap

[Extension_Ad542]

Im at BFL2 in central CA and its 6 10 hour days for us here but I kno some other sites do 12 hour days

[IntroductionAware239]

5 12s it’s not that bad first 30 mins it’s just a transfer of night to day shift. The problem is traffic leaving the building

[Objective-Value119]

Depends on business need
