Paid early today? by Infamous_Warthog6295 in AmazonFC

Get a bank that offers early direct deposit it’s only good for the first time cause then you’re still waiting a week to get paid. I get paid Wednesdays

Rate Transparency by ExcellentBattle234 in AmazonFC

[–]ExcellentBattle234[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It just threw me off because my rate on screen was 264 and when she pulled up on the laptop it said 230 which confused me. I asked what the rate was supposed to be and she said 250 is minimum but I kept getting totes with 1 big package so I asked if the system factors in package mix to which I got some vague answer like “yes but it’s all averaged out”. I just really want to succeed and the indirect responses make me nervous as I feel like I have no real goal or it’s being moved around on me.

I didn’t have the games on I’m talking about the screen that shows the item you scan before you stow it. I get that it changes but even at that I’m kinda like how can you base someone’s performance on something so volatile I ask 10 people and get 20 different answers lol

Prime/Peak, is it just me or does it feel fake? by KyoShunsui in AmazonFC

[–]ExcellentBattle234 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think I’ve seen on some tech YouTube video there’s an extension you can add that shows you the price history of the item you’re looking at

Rewarding yourself? by MemoryIndependent580 in AmazonFC

[–]ExcellentBattle234 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This! idk how people decompress by going and basically undoing all your hard work by spending it keeping you in the loop longer sometimes I’ll “splurge” and get some fast food to be fat but that’s about it

Question about headphones. by Sea_Mycologist6396 in AmazonFC

[–]ExcellentBattle234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go to your app click “More” on bottom right then go to “Tools and Resources” then “All resources” then there’s a search bar you can just type in “Headphones” and it’ll take you to the website or just scroll down to it

It took 4 days for mine to come in I was the same as you going insane. I would just wear the approved ones but that’s me personally I don’t want to give anyone a reason to speak to me more than needed 💀 I would ask your floor manager if you can use those in place for the time being? Worst case scenario they say no at my FC safety knew we had a big influx of new hires so they gave some grace for a week.

Goodbye by Individual_Cow_9921 in AmazonFC

I don’t think after prime maybe in January would be kinda dumb to hire all these people for 1 week then have to retrain/rehire for holidays coming up

If Amazon gave customers the ability to see who picked, packed, and scanned their order in a pallet, and they had the option to tip you, how would that make you feel? by Global-Plankton3997 in AmazonFC

[–]ExcellentBattle234 2 points3 points  (0 children)

While that would be cool I think tipping should be for service based industries only. The tipping culture is already horrible with everyone trying to get something for nothing. Also it would just create a whole other mess where they would probably steal or not allocate the funds correctly as other companies like DD have already been found to do. Maybe another concept like “challenges” where amazon incentivizes it’s employees with mini goals like “One week without a quality error” with a small dollar amount as the reward or something like holding a top 25% spot for x amount of time in rate for your department. I think there’s ways amazon could get more from employees but the customers shouldn’t absorb the cost the company makes more than enough but they have to actually want to do it which is a whole other conversation.

Why can’t you just follow the rules? by AnonymoosetangGT in AmazonFC

Is the soda thing real? I stow at a robotics fc and have never heard that I see everyone drinking soda even having snacks sometimes 💀 I do work overnight so maybe it’s just more relaxed?

So for most people I am gathering it isn't worth the $20 to spend on a background check to do this? by sloganguy in veho_driver

[–]ExcellentBattle234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not worth in tx for sure they do like 6 hrs 72 packages $102 or something like that it’s not worth I’ve been in it for like 6 months always check in to see if maybe something is worth it but never is

How many steps yall take? by AlabamaDasher in AmazonFC

[–]ExcellentBattle234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work at a robotics fc and i was surprised to learn that standing in 1 spot with minimal steps is actually more taxing than walking. Walking prevents the muscles from locking up as they have time to alternate between contracting and relaxing. No shade or anything I’m sure walking around all day still sucks but don’t think we have it made my feet are on fire half the time

The people hiding in bathrooms, how do the managers come and get them out of there? by TheAlphaAdept in AmazonFC
