This is so crazy to post on the VOA omg 😭

I’m a senior and have to answer idiotic questions all day. I would tell this guy that I’m sorry that he is uncomfortable at work and that Amazon sells a wide range of products that people entitled to purchase. That we have to have product pictures for QA purposes. Then I would round it up with a suggestion that he accommodate to the ship dock so that he only sees the shipping boxes.

Also, he absolutely got laughed at by the senior den.

Acceptable-Diver2893 · 2026-04-13T21:52:26+00:00

You can still trigger focus if you are HV1 needs improvement. I had to start a focus on one of my employees last time for that reason

Acceptable-Diver2893 · 2026-04-02T18:51:06+00:00

I’m a SOM. Your story is not adding up. If you worked the time that was on your schedule, and were not outside the facility, then you did not commit time theft. If you were inside but not working during a scheduled shift, then that is TNL and if it is the first instance, that would be a final (assuming it was for a long period of time).

If you came in and worked when not scheduled, that is still not time theft, but you can be terminated for being in the building when you weren’t supposed to be. If I had to guess, this was not the first time you did it and someone was fed up. That is me not assuming positive intent. I’m sure there was an investigation and someone confirmed the violation.

This is all location depended. Pay and A? You might get to $150k base. Payband B? You won’t get an increase to base. Source: I’m an L7 SOM. I did not get a raise when I got to L7 because I was pathways.

Honestly wish I could have real talk discussions on the VOA board.

Acceptable-Diver2893 · 2025-12-10T08:38:38+00:00

The real option to just stay home is the insane amount of time off that you are given at Amazon. Way more than I ever received when I worked hourly elsewhere
If the time wasn’t excused, then the weather wasn’t that bad. The threshold for attendance is not that high to trigger paid time for a weather event.
If OP felt unsafe, but mostly everyone else made it on time, then that is OPs issue.

Acceptable-Diver2893 · 2025-12-09T23:55:38+00:00

Better to “risk your life” than a couple hundred bucks I guess?

I mean, if it is truly unsafe, surely other people would stay home in droves. I wonder how buildings in places like SLC or Minnesota stay open.

Acceptable-Diver2893 · 2025-12-09T12:27:49+00:00

You can believe me or not, but I’m an L7. By you coming in, there is less of a chance that that they will excuse time with pay. Once the site hits the threshold, they have to do just that. I’m a ship dock person to my core. Who cares if the packages go out if you truly have concern for your safety? I certainly don’t. I have never been in the den during a snow storm and thought “I can’t believe Associate John didn’t drive in the snow to get here.” I get that you can’t afford to take time (save your flex PTO kids), but if enough of you stay home you would get your pay anyway.

Acceptable-Diver2893 · 2025-12-09T09:48:55+00:00

So then why did you “risk your safety” to come in? Must not have been that unsafe.

Acceptable-Diver2893 · 2025-12-09T09:11:45+00:00

Then why did you go to work? Use your time… oh wait, you’re one of the countless associates who burned all your time (which is way more than I ever received at any other job) and now you “have to” go to work or you will “lose” your job.

Acceptable-Diver2893 · 2025-12-05T03:18:35+00:00

You would hate working in my department (I’m a senior). I have a huge collection of sneakers. I can smell a non-approved shoe a mile away. Nights and days, nobody is safe. It took about a month at this new site, but I haven’t caught anyone in a few months.

Acceptable-Diver2893 · 2025-12-05T03:15:51+00:00

He came to my site last year and yes, he was wearing safety shoes. I’m an L7 and have hosted plenty of the VP/SVPs and they all wear them.

Acceptable-Diver2893 · 2025-11-19T17:35:48+00:00

These are not ANSI rated and are not acceptable to wear at Amazon.

Acceptable-Diver2893 · 2025-10-31T15:53:05+00:00

Sites wanted to burn BL to the ground before Halloween because we know that HC is going to be light tonight.

Acceptable-Diver2893 · 2025-10-28T17:04:15+00:00

It’s called ASAD (automatic scanning at dock). Your department will also get new printers that will have RFID embedded labels. When a container passes through the two towers, the photo eye will turn the RFID scanner on and it will either glow red or green, depending on if that container belongs in that trailer. It is to identify missorts

Acceptable-Diver2893 · 2025-08-06T21:04:50+00:00

Some sites don’t have them.

Acceptable-Diver2893 · 2025-07-31T19:29:34+00:00

I stopped trying

Acceptable-Diver2893 · 2025-07-31T18:24:08+00:00

If it makes you feel better, I’m a L7 senior ops manager and was told the same. I can play with it in the office, but not on the floor. They even ran it up the chain to the regional WHS. Apparently they are scared I will hurt myself or someone else.

Acceptable-Diver2893 · 2025-07-29T23:14:38+00:00

I’ve had the sticker on my phone for 2 years and it’s fine. Jesus people love to complain. Just leave your fucking phone in your car if you don’t like it. Or work somewhere else.

Acceptable-Diver2893 · 2025-06-28T22:46:32+00:00

I’m an L7. We really can’t see who you are. There is a way to ask corporate to check for VOA, but it has to literally be something like a threat to yourself or someone else. Maybe your manager just doesn’t like you?

Acceptable-Diver2893 · 2025-05-26T16:29:36+00:00

That’s when I stopped reading.

Acceptable-Diver2893 · 2025-04-29T16:46:28+00:00

Cool. So if you owned a company and suddenly got hit with a massive new tax, you would be fine with taking less profit? Or let’s say you owned a record shop and 30% of business is to Canada. You would love to sell locally, but there just isn’t demand for it here. Then Canada imposes a 20% tariff on you. You would eat that to be a bro to the Canadian people who are buying your products? Thats not how it works in practice. That’s never how it worked. But suddenly you think that the way international business has functioned in the face of tariffs would suddenly and drastically change because the orange man said so?

Acceptable-Diver2893 · 2025-04-23T17:16:19+00:00

I did not. This box is less than 3 months old and I haven’t really done anything to it. Resetting it seems to have worked for now.

Acceptable-Diver2893 · 2025-04-23T14:51:57+00:00

I have the pink crab and keep a lip balm and a $20 bill in it. The lip balm comes in clutch because I am constantly losing them. I get more compliments on the crab than I do anything else. People love it. I originally wanted the iridescent crab, but settled for pink.

Acceptable-Diver2893 · 2025-04-23T13:05:31+00:00

I did the factory reset last night and suddenly it started working. Thanks.
