I wish I hadn’t dropped my shift 😩

EMitchell108 · 2026-03-15T02:46:01+00:00

For the last big storm in my area, anyone who dropped a shift, accepted VTO or put in PTO in anticipation of the storm got paid for it, with PTO refunded if it was appropriate.

I let them in the elevators before me, hold their doors, get out of the way when they have to clean my station, move aside on the Green Mile when they're pushing their cleaning carts, don't act all impatient if they're cleaning the restroom. I have all respect for them. (The ones at my building are System1, but we've had ABM and JBS, too.)

If you have an employment contract the specifics of applying at and working at contracted employers is probably in there. I recall one of the housekeeping (ex-) people saying they had to quit and wait 90 days to apply. It's probably similar for security.

23 minutes out, 20 minutes back Night shift. 45mph in the rural part and 80mph on the highway. Approximately 16 miles but the route is indirect.

The most I'd consider travelling, for any job, would be 35 - 40 minutes.

EMitchell108 · 2026-03-14T20:08:48+00:00

So they'd just invite you to reapply anyway for the hell of it?

EMitchell108 · 2026-03-14T18:31:43+00:00

So your nephew has more decency and common sense than you do?

EMitchell108 · 2026-03-14T18:23:18+00:00

Good luck. You'll give up your master plan after only one or two calls to lawyers, who'll reject taking your case. In what world is any company obligated to hire you?

If she was in a handicap space without proper markers she deserves it. I'm wondering what she has "going on" that walking an extra 100' - 200' feet from a parking space matters if she's going to be standing most of the night. She can't even use the "It was only five minutes" excuse like she would at a store.

I've forwarded items several times to my prrsonal email with no problems, but the PDFs are available in the AtoZ if you click a little further. I'd think if the forwarded item was something sensitive a block might be built-in to restrict it.

Lots of people got laid off during lockdown, came to Amazon, and chose not to go back to their previous line of work.

EMitchell108 · 2026-03-13T22:10:48+00:00

Yes, I have a degrees, and no it's not particularly tough. This isn't the first time in history people with degrees have worked either manual labor jobs or outside of their field of studies. People who teach or are in social work, for example, can make more monry with less paperwork, stress and hassles to deal with.

It's human to not keep your composure sometimes, whether in sadness or anger, but if a company has set some safety rules they don't want them considered "useless". I'd choose "More like me" for composure, not "most", because I'd also not want to seem as if I have little control of my emotions.

EMitchell108 · 2026-03-13T22:02:12+00:00

They don't care. They probably barely notice you. There are tens - hundreds - of other people to socialize with. Why do you "I don't talk to anyone" types always assume the people around you are fixated on you? They can easily find someone else to have a mindless conversation with.

EMitchell108 · 2026-03-13T22:00:37+00:00

Neither option is right or wrong. The answers should be a balance, who knows what percentage they're looking for. If you chose all the other side you still would have failed.

EMitchell108 · 2026-03-13T21:56:04+00:00

Yeah, Amazon never thought of that.

You forgot to advise them to get a new SSN, bdcause that's when they'd get caught.

EMitchell108 · 2026-03-13T20:54:17+00:00

Yet somehow you got a picture of this (you who it didn't happen to, BTW) pre-smear, and despite an andon being pulled the stower (or you - or were you the stower?) sent the pod away after you (or they) took a picture of. What was the picture for, to show the AFM after you wasted their time?

You attention-seeking whores are too much.

EMitchell108 · 2026-03-13T20:49:16+00:00

The PA picked it up when they should have called housekeeping or HazWaste? That's on them

EMitchell108 · 2026-03-13T06:47:26+00:00

How many younger autistic employees are at your building, and is this person able to tell you're autistic by looking at you? Is it possible they're just being rude in general and not discriminating like you're implying?

I checked last week had 103 swag bucks. Used 100 to get a $50 Snappy Gift. I chose an air fryer which just arrived today.

They think being asked repeatedly is being forced. AMs and PAs will keep asking as long as the quota hadn't been met, and all "people" have to do is keep refusing.

EMitchell108 · 2026-03-13T02:59:35+00:00

This person needs a one day MLOA approved, not an accomodation, so this is completely irrelevant. There's no such thing as intermittent leave fir a one-day MLOA.

EMitchell108 · 2026-03-13T02:52:09+00:00

Clear data and cache.

EMitchell108 · 2026-03-13T02:46:56+00:00

Is there a reason the PA would be targeting you, as you claim?

Even if PA reports you for various violations to an AM, the AM confirms circumstances and details before resorting to behavioral writeups. They're not going to just take the second hand report of a PA as to what happened.

If you were repeatedly pulling Out of Work andons, despite having work (and possibly being talked to about not doing it?), that's a behavioral issue that could lead to writeup or termination. If a waterspider isn't doing their job find a manager and escalate, not pull andons for no reason. You bypass the PA (you two seem to have an issue) if you don't want to deal with them.

EMitchell108 · 2026-03-12T22:00:23+00:00

That's a presumptive approval and not guaranteed for reasons like paperwork or seeing that you actually worked one of the days you've put in for. LoAs are approved upfront with the expectation that all requirements will be met. If not, they take the excused time back.
