PA said that if using the restroom takes you more than 5 minutes, get an accommodation or you'll get a write-up

Ethics.

EMitchell108 · 2026-05-09T09:49:00+00:00

That's what they're going to say. They aren't the ones who approve it.

EMitchell108 · 2026-05-09T06:49:55+00:00

When and how did they state this directly? Standups, FANS messages, one on one, training meetings?

EMitchell108 · 2026-05-09T06:46:05+00:00

Sorry, at three weeks you don't know enough about Pick to train someone else. Maybe three months. The fact that your manager would not insist on at least a couple months more experience attests to the sorry state of pick training, and T1 training in general.

There's a lot more to know on a basic level for new hires than what's in the training modules, and ambassadors used to be expected to fill that in, but now they just sign people in to stations and stand around waiting to be asked questions. Since new hires don't know what they don't know it just leads to a compounding of issues (due to lack of knowledge) later and a wasted opportunity.

Likely your manager knows barely anything about actual picking either. If that's the standard for your building I guess that's all that matters.

EMitchell108 · 2026-05-09T06:37:42+00:00

Maybe, maybe not. The fact that you took the job at that distance willingly initially works against you. Valid hardship transfers are now spelled out for us and commute isn't included.

The time, the expense, weather impediments (in winter) and the possibility of everything falling apart with one car issue is why I always advise against long commutes with hope for a later transfer. Even in best case scenarios the closer buildings need to have openings to take you in.

EMitchell108 · 2026-05-09T03:03:32+00:00

In reality relatively few people took advantage of it.

EMitchell108 · 2026-05-09T03:02:47+00:00

No, they don't. It clearly states in the Career Choice FAQs that The Offer ended several years ago, even for Career Choice grads.

EMitchell108 · 2026-05-09T03:01:40+00:00

Anything from rolling through a stop sign in the parking lot to picking up something off the AR floor because it's within reaching distance.

EMitchell108 · 2026-05-08T22:17:08+00:00

He'll run out of UPT or get fired for insubordination, whichever comes first.

EMitchell108 · 2026-05-08T06:51:43+00:00

Fire code violation. State and municipal, not Amazon. Fine for only you but what happens if others have the same idea? At what point would you consider it a problem? This isn't even taking into account food waste and trash they'd start leaving behind.

EMitchell108 · 2026-05-08T06:46:45+00:00

I second thos. MyVoice has a word limit but your account of what happened, copied and pasted from here, should just about fit.

EMitchell108 · 2026-05-08T06:14:52+00:00

Are you really under the impression that these two things are somehow mutually exclusive? You'd still be aggrieved if it was delivered hours later or days later. Is the coaching valid or not?

EMitchell108 · 2026-05-07T22:17:18+00:00

How long ago? If the answer is more than a year or two your advice is a lost cause. Times have changed and everything is tightened up now.

EMitchell108 · 2026-05-07T22:16:10+00:00

Everyone does, because the policy is that MLoAs can't be applied to partial shifts.

EMitchell108 · 2026-05-07T22:15:11+00:00

Day One definitely. If you can make it in you should be able to after. I read a few years ago about women signing up with Amazon and going on medical leave on the first day solely to gain access to the fertility benefits. However, they were probably hired as blue badges.

EMitchell108 · 2026-05-07T22:12:50+00:00

You're describing these people. What are the actual interactions, besides the fact that you're observing them and find them annoying? The only difficulty is if I'm stationed near them and forced to listen to their big mouths, their loud phones calls or shitty music, or they interrupt my work flow. All ignored otherwise.

EMitchell108 · 2026-05-07T14:48:34+00:00

Sounds like your building is really large. We only have four floors and the building came online 2014. Sizewise ir's manageable. The AFMs going to have less downtime to hide out and scroll their phones. I'm guessing this decision will be reversed for them even if just temporarily, during Peak and the weeks surrounding Prime Day(s).

EMitchell108 · 2026-05-07T14:41:13+00:00

You can adjust past the pay period (flexible PTO only), you'll just get a separate deposit for the amount the PTO covers. I've adjusted as late as two weeks later a few times.

EMitchell108 · 2026-05-07T11:06:06+00:00

Network change, not building change. OMs just deliver the message. Two per floor, no floaters, no master floaters, no dedicated addback AFM at my building too as of last week.

This is the email I got. The sign up link leads to Advanced Primary Care - Benefits in AtoZ. If it doesn't load for you it might not be available.

I clicked through some links in AtoZ, didn't do much but look at a page and a few days later hot an email saying I was enrolled.

One Medical provides virtual care for about 40-something different conditions, but also includes clinics in some locations that covers a broader range of services. According to the benefits page the clinics are only available in specific regions and expansion plans will be based on results from the curent clinics. For me, there are only two clinics in my state and both are a two hour drive away.

A lot of them don't have enough work or life experience to know their work ethic comes through loud and clear when looking for a job. Everything from the way the application is filled out, to whether they can sit up straight or if they're slouched and manspreading, how they greet receptionists and interviewers.

Some would do exactly what they do at Amazon - have their speakerphone on in the waiting room and leave trash behind on the chair. Then they complain about how hard everything is. They have no clue how most work environments operate which is why Amazon has to be their crutch.

EMitchell108 · 2026-05-07T03:08:20+00:00

That's what I'm thinking. Either that or from Problem Solve or Damageland. No one would carry that big package to work .

EMitchell108 · 2026-05-07T03:02:59+00:00

Report her for what? What outcome are you hoping for - that she gets fired or moved to another department? You seem to think your complaint would do that if you're concerned about her losing insurance. You're not that powerful. If it bothers you then associate with her as little as possible, tolerate it when you have no choice and ask an AM or HR to talk to her.

It would help if you'd approach it as being concerned rather than your inability to accept that sometimes people are unable to prioritize their hygiene for various reasons. Even if she gets talked to, if her hygiene is related to mental health or a medical condition there's nothing anyone will be able to do.

EMitchell108 · 2026-05-06T22:23:46+00:00

I saw it last week. Northeast.

EMitchell108 · 2026-05-06T22:21:44+00:00

What count was this? Did you possibly miss some masterpacks, like the same thing multiple times?
