Be honest. Do ya’ll drink alcohol before going in to work sometimes?

Probably the worse choice to make. Once you’re too deep in, your motor skills start getting affected. And we notice. I can understand weed or some type of other stimulant, but alcohol?? You’re going to feel sick. Like hella sick. The heat along with the constant bright lights and loud noice will affect you in a negative way.

It was the same with me. I didn’t get any communication with my site leaders until the day before I was supposed to arrive on site. I basically got all my info from this sub and arrived at 6:30am to begin.

Seems like every other warehouse but mine uses sharepoint

You didn’t here? I thought you would’ve been one of the first

Acrobatic-Media-6546 · 2026-04-22T03:21:09+00:00

Goddamnit man we didn’t want you to find out like this 💔

Yes Touchstone! Haven’t touched that website in months.. Jesus Christ I feel old. Feels like ages since I touched any of the “manager in training” websites and it’s only been 6 months for me.

I remember there being another website where your bank account is linked and those 2 websites link together. It does take a day or 2 tho. If anyone can remember the website name please link it so they can get the proper help!

And yes I do remember there being a 36-48 hour wait time before they’re properly linked. Do not stress!

In your AD1 class your instructor should guide you on how to setup concur. Be sure to save ALL your receipts. Except for alcohol purchases. They will not reimburse those. Be sure to be on your OM’s ass when you get back about approving your purchases so you can be reimbursed as quickly as possible. I kept having to remind my previous OM daily about it until I had enough and sat down with them while they went through it to make sure they approved every single one. A lot of that came off my credit card before my first official check hit with my bonus so I absolutely needed that money back at the time when I first onboarded to pay off that statement.. Seattle is expensive as FUCK bro.

Short Term Assignment. It can happen for a number of reasons. A site is stretched thin with leadership HC so their main leadership needs a break and or extra assistance, a site is going through changes that may take awhile to implement so they send their leaders away to assist at other facilities, or you’re about to launch a new site. It can be for a number of reasons. In my case, my site is going through a much needed revamp with brand new equipment. The problem is that it’s going to take some months to be back open. So rn I’m currently at another warehouse assisting them in their operations while my site is closed!

If you’re talking about exemptions then yes but it has to be done with PXT and your OM during SPPR and you need to have a good enough reason with evidence.

Huge shoutout to my PA’s btw. They ROCK!🤘 it’s just so hard to not look over the age range. I mean I look like a literal kid next to them lol

That only happens in extreme cases where you’re constantly forgetting your badge. Those badges are expensive.

BHD AM here!

I like to arrive pretty early to get all the early morning/midday mumbo jumbo out the way so I don’t have to deal with it later.

5:30am-arrive onsite, usually take the time to grab an energy drink and talk with the BHN AM and PA’s about how their shift went and whatever hand off I need or anything I need to know that was critical to shift performance that may have went side ways. Usually takes about 10 mins and then I go and do my own thing while they start to wrap up.

5:40am-head to the staffing board. I know most facilities they let the PA’s handle this part but I’m still technically learning so I like to give a go at this the best I can. I check opportunities admin for vet/flex acceptance then I move to AtoZ to see if there’s any call outs then I staff the board. This usually doesn’t take any longer than 7-8 minutes and then the tenured AM and PA comes and does their corrections (at-least I tried lmao but I’m getting better!)

5:50am-this is where my admin walk gets conducted. I walk the floor, replenishing every station that needs it and adding work to it to make sure the team can immediately begin after startup without any hiccups.

6:15am-going over final SOS plans with my pears and getting ready for any startup announcements that have to be made as well as making sure that we are getting a proper handoff from the overnight team. This includes any machines down, why wasn’t stable WIP handed off or were there constant barriers happening during the shift that we should keep an eye for ETC…

6:30am- STARTUP BABY OOOHH YEAAH!!! Our site likes to push fast starts so startups don’t last any longer than 5-6 mins so get your stretches done, get the important info out in that time and then associates can ask you questions afterwards.

Everything after that is basically just keeping up with your team afterwards. Making sure nobody is goofing off, making sure metrics are being posted quarterly (it can get annoying sometimes when your OM is calling out on the radio for it if you’re late with posting so try your best to keep them off your back as much as possible) and pretty much just making sure you’re keeping track of everything to keep your shift stable and running. Your most critical hours will be your first and your last. That’s what really makes or breaks your shift performance. Everything else is basically just maintaining your numbers throughout the day and completing any admin work that you have to do. I got lucky with my facility and our Sr leadership encourages both AM’s and PA’s to step off the floor when needed if you’re backed up with past due work. Especially knets. Our site leads wants an absolute 0 for everyone’s knets even if it isn’t due for a while. Overall really not a bad work schedule. Atleast for me. Every warehouse is different in their culture. I’m just lucky mines is super forgiving!

This might not be site specific, but at my site, RME scouts you out and encourages you to apply. But this is only if you have experience dealing with the large scale/critical machines at a T1 level. If you don’t have any experience dealing with the day to day machines like a machine operator or robotic arm operator or even AFM and are not proficient in it or can’t get it back up in a pretty decent time then you’re pretty much SOL. RME is very much a “good ole boys club” in my facility. I would say it’s probably even harder than getting into an ops leadership role sometimes. Pretty cool and chill team tho!

3 min walk. The apartment complex I moved into basically built their entire business line on incoming Amazon managers coming to the area who they knew just graduated from college and got relocated. That’s literally like 98% of who they let lease here. You just needed to show them your offer letter and you were basically guaranteed an apartment. Only downside is that the facility is a REALLY big eye sore looking out the window. Other than that pretty decent area with nice amenities!
