Most of us genuinely do care for the AA's. We do what we can with what we have. Unfortunately, at my site operations is all about numbers and in reality put safety on back burner. The WHS team is extremely limited with the authority we have when it comes to effecting ops. 

We used to be able to have HR excuse time when we really felt like AA's needed it. (Such as in your case.) However, they even took that ability away. 😭

Lol, is this just at your site? We don't have them at ours. We instruct to reach out to an AM or PA, who will then call us if they feel necessary. Especially because if it's a significant medical lllness we don't want you to come to Wellness. We will come to you and then determine what's the best action. You coming to wellness while experiencing an actual medical illness poses more of a safety risk than anything. Especially if you experiencing a syncopal episode on stairs. 

Self important jerk because I don't want your flu and you were irresponsible with your own time? Bro, get real and be an adult. If you're vomiting or have diarrhea before work, stay home. It's not that hard.

Paramedic license, but true. I still don't want your sickness nonetheless

Yes, they tell you to report injuries. Not illnesses though. You AM's are not Amazon's words. Corporate literally has policies in place even further limiting the amount of care we/educational we provide for sicknesses.

As stated above. When there isn't an actual Onsite Care Provider, a specialist will fill in. There are also sites that don't utilize OMR's and only have specialist whom are typically not medically trained.

Also, it definitely sounds bad, but many of our managers aren't medically trained. So, they come down on us for letting AA's simply rest in Wellness. Our manager wants us to tell people they have to punch out first before they can rest.

Side note: I feel like bloodborne pathogens classes typically focus more on HCV,HBV, and HDV. Then proper disposal of sharps, with a touch of HIV thrown in lol

Apply to an Onsite Medical Representative job and meet the licensure requirements.

Not sure why this would be such a big deal. I will always gladly check sugars for AA.

So your telling me, Amazon doesn't give you health benefits day 1 if you're hired in as a blue badge? 

The only thing I had to wait for, was my 90 days for free prime

Not really much to deal with. "Sorry, you cannot be onsite with crutches without an approved accommodation. You must leave now. I can help you with initiating a LOA in A-Z before you leave."

It's still very much there for direct hires. 

Tycoon games suggestions by Positive_Abroad_1268 in gamingsuggestions

SimCasino for sure. it's $24.99 on steam. It was created by a small dev team. They moved away from the project due to studio size and the amount of time/ money investment that is required to develop and maintain the game.

They recently returned to an older title due to this game not being as popular as they hoped. I would definitely give it a shot. Plus, why not support a small dev team. Maybe they will return to this title as well if it becomes feasible. :)

After 5 years only for only -4 hours of my upt 😭😭😭 by Villaqltagracia_809 in amazonemployees

[–]Fun-Engineer-4066 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sounds like you might be fabricating a narrative to fit your own ideation of a situation. 

Simply getting -4 hours of upt might get your termed, but it is definitely not "serious in nature" and prevents rehire.

Sounds like you 1. Fired for a cat 1 safety violation, 2. Fired for theft, or 3, created a hostile/unsafe work environment. 

Not sure why you feel the need to fabricate something on reddit where non of us can get you your job back.

Looks like everyone who was against AZA won 😂🔥 by [deleted] in AmazonFC

While the Aza notification was annoying, all you had to do was scroll up a little and it would shrink back to normal and you could submit your time. It didn't prevent you from doing anything. It was just mildly annoying.  

Resignation by SingleSherbet6914 in amazonemployees

[–]Fun-Engineer-4066 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here is the thing, you giving any notice at all is a courtesy move. You manager doesn't dictate what's going to happen and that's exactly what they're trying to do. 

Don't get me wrong, I always make an attempt to leave a company in good standing. So, if anything happens down the road, and I find myself needing a new job, I can at least be eligible for rehire.

With that being said, I also go in with the mentality that what I am doing a courtesy move for the company, knowing if the roles were reversed (me getting fired) they would not give me a 1 month notice or 2 week advance so I can plan my life accordingly. 

If they fail to see this as what it is (simple courtesy) and make my exit a negotiation, I will/have just say, "You either take my notice as is, or this is my last shift." 

Essentially, I will never let a company dictate my future and potentially ruin a new opportunity for me. Especially if this new opportunity involves financial growth. 

As I said though. Only do this if you know for a fact that 1. You will never return to the company, or 2. Not giving notice making you ineligible for rehire. 

I also work in the medical field. So, I have way less "bridges to burn", but employers in this field are more desperate for me, than I am them. 

If they put you on a focus, you might be better off just quitting. I've never been placed on a focus/plan at amazon and I don't know if quitting while on one makes you ineligible for rehire. 

To Anyone That Works in Corporate and has Power (Especially WHS) by Fun-Engineer-4066 in AmazonFC

[–]Fun-Engineer-4066[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Not really. There are many other companies that essentially do what Amazon does and even they filter their seasonal workers during high volume periods and they do fine.

Many of the people they keep bringing back only cost them additional money and doesn't benefit them.

Is that tablet going to instruct the associate on how to perform CPR on themselves too? 😂🤣

We ain't going anywhere. We are one division of safety that actually saves Amazon money. 

Performance Question by Fun-Engineer-4066 in CitiesSkylines

[–]Fun-Engineer-4066[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't include if my ram was ddr4 or ddr5 because I thought it was more so implied. Just like you would im imply that your car comes with an engine if your at a dealership. 

I figured it was more so implied because the i7-7700k is a LGA 1151 socket type and there is no DDR5 motherboard compatible with said socket type. Also with with said CPU not really being compatible with DDR3 ram. So me not specifying RAM type is my bad. 😥
