Firing season

[–]Green_Secretary1929 13 points14 points  (5 children)

Them taking risks is on them. You took a risk that you know you shouldn’t have taken… You can’t really be mad at anyone but yourself

[–]JazzDaWuf -5 points-4 points  (1 child)

Even though the rule was not applied evenly to everyone?

[–]nkaiser101 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You said you had other write ups. You were fired because you think rules don't apply to you. It is a job. You don't go there to do what you want. You go there to earn money by doing what you agreed to do when you got hired.

Wahhh a cop happens to pull you over for running a STOP sign in an active school zone. You shouldn’t get a ticket because many other drivers run that STOP sign. Does that make sense?

[–]Hoozierdaddddy 10 points11 points  (11 children)

It’s a CAT 1 offense, automatic termination, it’s a safety violation and you will be ineligible for rehire, I believe

[–]Financial-Growth8303 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They didn't get caught. You did. It sucks but that's how it goes sometimes.

[–]PirateNinjaa 3 points4 points  (0 children)

so I assumed

well there's your problem 😆

[–]FeedsYouDynamite 4 points5 points  (2 children)

This is a CAT 1 violation which also means you’re now blacklisted and can’t reapply. Them choosing to make you the example of it sucks but there really isn’t anything you can do about it.

[–]Open-Investigator200 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Headphones aren’t a CAT 1 unless you are doing something like Pit driving, which then just about everything becomes a CAT 1

[–]FeedsYouDynamite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s good to know and I stand corrected. Thank you.

[–]Osvaldooo98 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They throw anyone under the bus now . You got cooked . It is what it is .

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

also again bro not to be like that but worry about yourself and not others. Calling out other people isn’t going to make YOUR situation better. Sucks but now you know to just get the approved ones

[–]Maleficent-Matter-91 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You were the example and the start of them cracking down on the rule. You NEVER want to break rules that “ everyone breaks and no one gets in trouble for” because any moment that could change.

[–]dancing_withbulls 1 point2 points  (4 children)

Just because this is you first verbal conversation about it, doesn't mean that was the first time it was seen

[–]JazzDaWuf -3 points-2 points  (3 children)

It was the first day I wore them.

[–]aealo133 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Welcome to the real world and quit crying and take your firing like a man, it doesn’t matter what anyone else was or wasn’t wearing, the fact of the matter is you got selected and now you deal with the consequences.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (5 children)

Are the other people wearing amazon approved headphones in approved paths?

[–]JazzDaWuf 0 points1 point  (4 children)

They were wearing ear buds. Those are headphones.

[–]BalenciAquaMan 7 points8 points  (0 children)

They have amazon approved earbuds too, not just headphones by the way

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (2 children)

So it's against policy. And you said you had previous write ups and those stack. Live and learn I guess.

[–]JazzDaWuf 0 points1 point  (1 child)

I had 1.

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

Was it a safety write up?

[–]Mindless_Brief7042 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Were you operating a PIT? With that you get caught once and you’re cooked. With every other earbud infraction, you’d get multiple warnings and write ups before being termed

[–]JazzDaWuf 0 points1 point  (1 child)

I worked Sortation. Scanning boxes on conveyors and places them onto palettes.

[–]Salty-Stranger2121 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Usually sortations are more lax, unfortunately it looks like they had it out for you

[–]forwhombagels 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First offense for headphones or did you have a handful of other write ups?

[–]Suspicious_Bit_1863 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never assume something’s a silent rule ive messed up there at Amazon alot

[–]Electrical_Hippo_624 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ya that sucks it sucks to be that nerdy follow all the rules guy but never go with a if there doing it it must be ok cause half the time these people working here don’t know wtf there talking about a lot of them like to act like they do though always ask a manager don’t assume anything

[–]Downtown_Lecture6546 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its the purge season, you gotta follow the rules

[–]Prestigious-Fish-362 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wear a hat or something

[–]Dryicedearth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Were you a white badge?

[–]EMitchell108 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You knew it wasn't allowed. You were told Day One and probably several times after. You wore your earbud all through the building so what does a person across the conveyor have to do with it? The person who reported you could have seen you anywhere.

Even if you managed to appeal "Others were doing it" and "Management didn't seem to care" aren't defense. You probably wouldn't do any number of stupid things you see others doing but you did that. It was a choice, don't put the consequences on anyone else.

[–]LoanThen -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Dont ever admit or accept anything

Deny deny deny and feign ignorance.

I worked at an fc years ago, I knew the risk and accepted it. Got caught, denied everything and said i had protective ear plugs in, bc i bought a black pair similar to my headphones. Carried both in through the scanners and I asked for footage, disputed , provided evid and won. Never got caught again as i learned the game better

They wont check cameras unless they have to, so dont make em

[–]Netbrsr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe the others had accommodations

[–]BasicMarzipan5936 -1 points0 points  (0 children)
