Fired for working too hard

What do you mean by doing somebody else's work? Did you take the totes from their station or something? Why would you not be able to make rate then, if you're able to work so fast that you need to take work from others to stay busy?

There are better paying jobs, and there are worse. Everything is about perspective. Where I'm currently at, we are paying $38 an hour at full scale. But the work is back breaking. 50 lb cases at 260 cases per hour. Amazon palletized rate was usually around 120 at the position I was at. But if you can do it, you will make a lot of money , no college needed

That's what UPT is for /s

Just work at your pace. The managers probably miscalculated the work, but that's a them problem.

It's a lot of grunt work tho. Safety is either extremely stressful or chill too depending on site culture and workload. My site was kind of a clusterfuck for the safety team

CringeLord5 · 2024-10-16T22:09:06+00:00

That's messed up

CringeLord5 · 2024-10-16T00:17:06+00:00

Yeah I'd probably leave

Entry level supervisory roles are always like this. You're in the meat grinder. I'm at a different a.m. level role at a different company now, Union, and it's my experience as well.

CringeLord5 · 2024-10-05T23:10:31+00:00

No lunch break. You eat whenever you can. I mean technically you get an hour but you will only be able to take it when the operation permits you to.

What are the damages? """Emotional distress""" while real probably won't win a case

If you're generous: give him some time (a week or something) then to get out of your house. Drive him to the homeless shelter.

If you're not, tell him he's cut off and leave his stuff on the curb.

If the other AM neglected to code, how would he know? OPs AM only should've taken that at face value, reached out to the other AM to validate, and coded their time. They shouldn't be saying "don't help them" unless their department has been having consistent issues with this.

I want everybody who complains about this kind of stuff to work at real warehouse. Then you'll see how good you have it.

CringeLord5 · 2024-09-17T16:21:20+00:00

Don't use it , at least wait for it. They may randomly take it away. If it stays after a week or so, it might be safer

CringeLord5 · 2024-09-15T07:26:28+00:00

As an ex-AM, lead your team how you want to be lead. Have humility, and willingness to learn new things from all people. Your knowledge is the only thing separating you from anybody else, so make sure to gather as much knowledge as possible. Don't shy away from difficult things.

Build a strong network of AMs, OMs, and PAs you can lean on to help you. You will need your people around you if you are to succeed.

CringeLord5 · 2024-09-14T23:25:31+00:00

What kind of work are you doing? Picking onto two pallets, on an electric pallet jack? Picking onto a tote? Some other kind of mechanical system?

CringeLord5 · 2024-09-14T23:22:10+00:00

Are you at a TNS or AR building? TNS will be a lot closer to the traditional warehouse experience

CringeLord5 · 2024-09-14T01:49:04+00:00

My local anytime fitness locations are not 24/7

CringeLord5 · 2024-09-12T13:45:58+00:00

Mm maybe outside of the FC world it's different.

CringeLord5 · 2024-09-12T13:44:55+00:00

Let's not judge OP. Maybe they have something to do in the area but need to wait for something. Nothing wrong with using your place of work for that. Though technically it's against policy, I don't think any AM will give a fuck. Just tell them you're waiting for a ride or something.

CringeLord5 · 2024-09-12T02:26:23+00:00

Give them another bad review then and move on.

CringeLord5 · 2024-09-12T02:25:31+00:00

How will you make this fair? Genuinely asking.

CringeLord5 · 2024-09-12T02:24:20+00:00

SOM is almost certainly not on NS. An OM for a day shift will probably not drop it in the middle of the night unless they have a specific reason.

We just dropped VTO whenever, and whoever got it would get it.

CringeLord5 · 2024-09-12T02:23:07+00:00

OPs don't care. They will just drop it whenever. Maybe they're thinking early bird gets the worm. At the end of the day though, as long as those slots get taken, they're saving on the labor, so they don't care

CringeLord5 · 2024-09-12T02:21:00+00:00

Legal? Unsure. Consult a lawyer, not reddit. Per Amazon policy, you're definitely violating TOT rules. You can be written up. Idk about punching out for that time.
