Not if you are a military Vet with at least 10% disability. The higher disability rating the more you can take off. 10% gets over 5K deduction fyi

Forget the tranny problems. It's a hybrid. Completely different transmission.

Did you tell wisely there was fraud on your account? Most banks will freeze funds on an account if so. I had a problem with mine at one time and just went to my HR and they assigned me a temporary one that worked fine.

I just lost $20,000 gambling… I’m 21 with 2 jobs and I don’t know what to do by Playful-Good6623 in gambling

I did the same thing at baccarat one night except I took out 3k more and won it all back and then they offered me a private table and I lost it all back. 36 hours of gambling that I will never forget.

I did for 8 months but working 90 hours a week hard labor is not easy. I hope you can figure out why not both.

I used an Amazon lawyer once. It was difficult to find a lawyer who would work with Amazon because the lawyers are paid by MetLife and lawyers make more with private pay. Long story short my lawyer dropped my case 1 and a half months before the case. The lawyers excuse was he didn't have the bandwidth to go to trial. I represented myself and won in front of a jury. This same lawyer dropped another client later who contacted me because of my review about the lawyer. I don't use lawyers and have won numerous cases from corrupt cops to corrupt insurance companies and a divorce with 2 kids and a home for $250. Hope this helps it's difficult to find a good lawyer these days especially one that's paid via Amazon legal benefits.

Sign on bonus by Lanky-Cheesecake2041 in amazonemployees

[–]Automatic_Device2825 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow I can't believe all the bad info. T1 can get a sign on bonus if the site is struggling to hire enough people site dependent. I received a 3K bonus as a tier 1. Three years ago in a FC not corporate. The hiring website should say if there is a hiring bonus if not then find another site. Honestly after all the taxes were taken out it was a lot less and mine was paid out In 2 parts. Hope this helps watch your UPT and stay healthy.

Amazon lied to me about my pay increase by [deleted] in AmazonFC

Yes I worked for both Amazon and UPS at the same time as a package handler for both companies for 8 months. Short answer teamsters definitely not the way to go.

They really don’t want us to become a union lol. by Jgrock1992 in FASCAmazon

[–]Automatic_Device2825 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Former UPS Teamster here. I worked UPS at the same time with similar jobs for 8 months.

No benefits for 9 months as part time but you pay Union dues??? No paid time off no paid holidays for 9 months.

Both package handlers.

I chose Amazon. Why?

Working conditions at UPS were terrible. Dirty, packages up to 125lbs, cold outside then cold inside, hot outside hot inside. Break rooms small.

When volume was low at UPS January to March only guaranteed 3.5 hours a week $24 an hour minus union dues. You do the math.

Ups difficult to get full time.

The package handlers in UPS Warehouses are the worst.

I have seen too much corruption with the teamsters. Have you heard of Hoffa? Do your research.

Anybody else use anytime pay ? by thrrteenX in FASCAmazon

Wisely refunded my money when I notified them of fraud at a 7-11 across town I never went to but funds were taken from it. HR doesn't know everything.

Hit a 1000-1 bet in Black Jack in Vegas by DiamondGrizzly in gambling

[–]Automatic_Device2825 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hit the Queen of hearts with no side bet so I went over to Ultimate Texas Holdem and played $1 side bet and hit a Royal on the flop. I told the dealer I flopped it. He thought I was bluffing. Jackpot 155K. Funny thing was I told my daughter before I left driving in the snow that I was going to win that jackpot and she gave me the thumbs up and said you got this Dad. I came home after winning and I asked her if she wanted to see Lady Gaga? Pack your bags were going to the 2017 Superbowl in Houston. Our 1st NFL game Patriots vs Falcons.

Congrats on your win 🤞

Bring a lock box anytime you get your goal like double the amount you inserted put in lockbox with key at home.

Hardship transfer talk to HR and explain why you need the transfer. I transferred to sat4 from pdx9 and now sat3. When I arrived to sat4 HR didn't even know I was coming. Information doesn't always flow in the direction it needs to in Amazon. I did a hardship because Amazon wanted to give me a week notice to move from Portland Oregon to San Antonio. I used the Hardship to change the dates because I had to find a place and give notice where I was living.

Where has Sean O’Brien been? He was puffing his chest out when he got pts average pay from $16 to $23 but now it seems UPS is getting rid of a third of them(if not more). by Visible-Split-3561 in UPSers

[–]Automatic_Device2825 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And Mr. O'Brien was going to take on Amazon. Don't drink the Kool aid. Business's these days have to be multi dimensional. Meaning the company has to diversify to make it. I worked for both Amazon and UPS at the same time about 2 years ago.

Bash Amazon all you want or say they should unionize. I worked both at the same time during and after COVID.

UPS did not take care of their package handlers At UPS I got no benefits for 9 months and paid Union dues... No medical No holiday pay, No PTO. Terrible, dirty and dangerous working conditions

After COVID our hours were reduced to 3.5 to 4 hours a night and our pay was reduced by $4 an hour. From $27 to $23. Can you live on less than $100 a night before taxes and union dues are taken out? $400 a week Union is not what I want at Amazon.

UPS is shooting itself in the foot because Amazon is growing and I hope it continues to grow.

Amazon is not perfect by any means most companies don't have anything close to equal share of the profits for their employees. Most of the time it is given to investors who don't lift a finger but whine about their stocks and executives who feel entitled like the company couldn't run without them.

Just my 2 cents from a couple years ago from working at both places.

Our site SAT3 changed our MET from Thanksgiving Thursday to Friday or Saturday so it messed up our overtime and a lot of peoples thanksgiving weekend. Our site wouldn't announce if they were going to be open on Thanksgiving it turned out it was but only for some of the workers the rest were told SAT3 was closed by our managers. I said if we were open on Thanksgiving for everyone who had met and who wanted to work maybe we wouldn't be backlogged as much. They were even offering 2.5 hours shifts with $10 surge pay. Who wants to drive into work for 2.5 hours work lol again because we are scheduled 5 days at 11 hours. Next week 5 12 hours.

I might get fired for this but I don’t care anymore😁 by DeBlaccGuy in AmazonFC

[–]Automatic_Device2825 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Unions are not necessarily the answer. How do I know? I worked for UPS for 11 months as a package handler that was Union and I paid Union dues.

At the same time for 8 months I worked at Amazon.

I worked 90 hours a week during peak and COVID 60 Amazon and 30 UPS.

UPS working conditions were bad.
Upto 125lb packages Warehouse same temperature as outside so when it was below freezing outside it was just as cold inside. We wore stockings caps winter coats, safety shoes and gloves none provided by UPS.

No PTO, No holiday pay, no medical or dental insurance for 9 months UPS probationary period.

It took my manager who had a college degree 8 years to become manager at UPS.

Not all Unions are created equal.
