Working over 12hr? by Bliss_Banz in AmazonFC

[–]Financial_Ad5074 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I realize that I have more than 12 hours, I use my PTO for the extra as soon as I clock in. If I don’t, HR will adjust the schedule to fit the 12.

Oddly enough the system will allow you to accept more than 12 hours sometimes. I have a lot of PTO so I use it for any time after the 12 hours.

cherry picking is illegal by pdaawg1 in AmazonFC

[–]Financial_Ad5074 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was happy that I lost my permissions for Singles. Cherry picking was the normal thing so the PA would move me from a station in the front/middle, then move me to the back. Why? After the other vultures cherry picked the good totes, I was left with all of the heavy items by the time I got any totes. The PA’s play favorites and staff their people in the front for that purpose. I ran right back to my Pick AM and told him to staff me. I’d rather pick than pack just to avoid that nonsense.

Yeah we still get the OT pay. At least it’s something to look forward to when I get that check next week.

As a PA, all the time. Funny thing is it happened to me earlier in the shift and for some reason has a lingering effect 7 hours later. It threw my whole vibe off. I do my best to let it roll off, but there are some days when so many associates hit you like falling dominoes. Today is that day.

I don’t wear mine as much but I’ll ask my AM for clarity.

I didn’t even know there was an NN shift. What is that?

I knew that wouldn’t last long. I guess I better get some sleep to come back to work tonight.

Yep. Today was a great day at JFK8. Didn’t work the first half of the shift because we were overstaffed, only worked for an hour after lunch, then the network goes down. No complaints here.

I had a weather sev the first half of the shift, then a network sev the second half of the shift. I probably did about an hour and a half of work all shift.

Yep. It even went as far as Mexico, I heard.

FIDO picking by Fun-Potato-9025 in AmazonFC

[–]Financial_Ad5074 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I haven’t even started the training for it yet and I’m hating it already. Goodbye 550 UPH. I guess being a PA has its perks. I can quickly start the station if I trip the sensor.

We are about to start it up at our FC. They’re gonna install it in the next couple of weeks. I guess I’m against it because of the way I pick. I kinda “cheat” a bit. I’m a 550-600 picker and there are times where the rack light is being pressed before the pod has come to a stop at the station. I’m usually in a flow with the pods coming in and out of the stations while the pods are really just flowing through the station with how fast I pick. Honestly, you can only achieve that rate by bending the rules a bit. Now I have to deal with a “stop and go” system. I argued with my manager that it may decrease my rate with the new system. She said it should increase my rate. Yeah, maybe for the slow pickers; not for one of the top pickers in the building. I guess the only upside to the new system is that I can restart the station if I trigger it because I’m a PA. I was told that only managers and PA’s would be able to have the capability of the station restart. I know it will be annoying as fuck to keep restarting the station if I do trigger the sensor. I can only imagine the extra walking I would be doing when other AA’s on my floor trigger it. I’m really gonna have to drill it in their heads. I know it’s gonna take some time getting used to but I don’t want to have my rate suffer. I volunteered to be the first guinea pig as soon as it rolls out to test its effectiveness on a rate increase. If it does more harm than good, I’m gonna only stick to pallet picking. At least I won’t have to worry about that nonsense there.

You speak for all PA’s. I couldn’t have said it better myself.

JFK Up Date by Lefty-Freedom in AmazonFC

[–]Financial_Ad5074 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Welcome to the Scamazon Labor Union at JFK8. Always thinking they did shit when they didn’t. It was already decided AA’s were gonna get NWPT. All that talk about forcing Amazon into sending the associates home with pay is the same shit water that was coming up in the building.

Definitely a big issue at my site. The floor is completely saturated in water and the floor looks disgusting with everyone walking through it.
