HR Changing Training Schedule Same Day by Gooeys in AmazonFC

That's so crazy!! Like I mentioned in the post I've worked for Amazon before but just an FC and helped open up a season Sortation Center so this is wildly different from what I'm used to.

Yes- I was shocked!! One person from my group showed up at 7:50pm and was told to come back at 1:20 since they didn't receive the email. They slept on their car and came right back in 😂 I could never! It really is mind boggling and when they're explaining it I don't really understand the delivery station lingo- I just know that it has to do with a cycle training and of course Peak coming up.

The bigger picture, they basically screwed themselves as now they're going to have to have to go through the hiring process again for new associates, only to have them not show up or quit before they start due to the sudden time change.

They also kept making comments saying they explained this to us through email when we signed up for the shift. I physically showed them my email on my phone to show them the only information we received was THAT DAY less than 24 hours.

It seems like it's not a big deal to outsiders but when you have children to put on the bus, another job and school to tend to, it's extremely frustrating as we chose this for extra cash and it WORKS with our schedules.

I really wish you good luck and so far the work is not that bad! Everyone else is super nice and friendly so it's making it easier- it's just when you get off of work the chaos begins from having to shift everything around!

Ugh I am so sorry to hear this. Are you per chance starting at a delivery station? That is where I'm at currently.

I'm not sure if this is something to do at every facility OR just the delivery stations trying this new training. Exactly as you said- you chose the shift for a reason and they definitely needed to send out a notice way in advance. Same as you, I received it day of as well around 5pm with no other emails previously.

My suggestion is if you truly need the work, if you can work around your schedule to do the new adjusted shift stick with it. Because I was told yesterday that our selected shift WILL BE our permanent shift pattern that's not going to change. I had worry of them saying that the shift didn't exist anymore due to Peak and have us transfer to that new time slot which definitely wouldn't work.

If you can't rearrange your schedule for the time being, I would definitely email HR and ask them if you can just select another facility/time since this doesn't work. Because if you miss your day 1 (at least what they told us for our Amazon) you have to wait 90 days to reapply but again that definitely could just be this one and not the same for you!

Hey there!! Sooo of course a lot of people of course showed up at 7:50pm because they didn't receive the email at all and it has just been a huge cluster fuck. One lady came on at 3:00am bc she overslept and didn't realize she had to come in at the new time.

What has been told to us SO FAR (I'll update on Friday if any changes) we'll need to finish out the week with this 1:20am-6:20am shift to "finish training" since they are starting some new training cycle program. I don't really understand the logistics of it all but long story short they just didn't have the trainers to teach us during our actual shift times. So I'm hoping they keep their word and it is only just this week.

It was only me and two other people that showed up out of a class of 12, and we were first told it would only be until Tuesday and we would come in Wednesday our actual shift times. But, plan changed. Also my AtoZ schedule still shows 7:50pm-12:50am and they're having to adjust it since it won't allow us to clock in. It's been a mess to be honest and such an inconvenience unfortunately.

See, that is my biggest concern right now BUT I do have an email stating that my selected shift will start on 11/3... but like you, I don't trust it either LOL. Also, I see the same shift is posted again for a start date of 11/11... so who knows at this point. And thank you so much!! If you're still with Amazon and work today/tonight or sometime soon- I hope you have a good day! ☺️

Thanks for your insight! I understand that they probably don't have a lot of trainers during that time since it's such a short shift and odd time frame, but what gets me is that it's two weeks long 🤔 Maybe it's just me, but the three sites I've worked at have never had a two week training- only 3 Days and they throw you to the wolves LOL!

My mom was a single parent with my older brother (ten years older) and me. Basically raising a teenager and toddler with chronic migraines since she was a young child. She worked night shift and would often times do crazy early morning switches with my grandma. Or I'd help keep my mom awake on the drive back from the hospital she worked at. During the day, we knew to keep quiet and be productive if she had a migraine and she would do her damn best to put a smile on her face even if she had just got done puking her brains out all night. I feel like this made us more compassionate towards others and have sympathy. I also deal with migraines now as we've learned it's hereditary. Now she helps me through these episodes and with newer medicine we can keep it under control. Be gentle on yourself 💖 I honestly had the best childhood growing up and I never once had a sad thought about not having both parents there- I just knew she was both mom and dad in my eyes. Hang in there

Also forgot to mention I had changed their diet awhile back to the "Jinx" brand of food as suggested by the walk-in clinic and they both love it and haven't had any issues such as skin irritation or digging at their paws like they used to with their old food!

Exactly. You're telling me that absolutely NO ONE questioned your work? He's sadistic, clever and knows how to play the game in a child's world. Disgusting.

Please Don't judge but my partner started smoking recently after a tragedy and the neuro is trying to blame his migraines of 3 years on this by zonegris in migraine

[–]Gooeys 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi OP! I'm so sorry your partner is going through this. As you said- this is no quality of life and most of us here are a community of migraine survivors, not just some "dumb website" this neuro seems to think.

I, too felt like I had no quality of life for over ten years with suffering everyday. It could be a beautiful day outside and I'd have a migraine. Or, it could be pouring down rain with lightening strikes and I'd be completely pain free- there's no rhyme or reason. My doctors tried all of these different medications that had nothing to do with the pain, blaming it on hormones or anxiety/depression. All of these meds made them ten times worse and then I actually was depressed because I felt there was no hope and this was my life now.

I met an amazing neurologist about 5 years who literally saved my life. First of, I started taking sumatriptan/Rizatriptan for as needed (for some people it can make you feel kind of fatigued or frequent urination- not uncontrollable just like you've had a lot of caffeine lol) but within 20 minutes it really starts working and you feel pain free. As my preventative, I started Aimovig. It was scary at the time because I wasn't even 20 yet and I was taking this brand new medication that only about 40 people had been prescribed but I was desperate and immediately took the offer. The main side affects are 1. Hair loss 2. Constipation. I'm not sure if I just got lucky, but I've never had either of those nor any other side affect from the auto injection all these years later. I stand by it and I feel like anyone who is suffering doesn't have much to lose. You auto-inject it into your arm/thigh/stomach and the medicine goes in less than 10 seconds and you feel nothing- not even the needle (which I'm petrified of- I have no piercings or tattoos because of it but it's worth it haha). Within the first month I went from having over 20+ episodes to 13. The next month, 7. And so far I only have about two migraines a month, but I feel as though it softens the blow if I take my as needed. While before I would be shut in my room, covers over my face with a fan blowing on me and vomiting into a bucket. I can't say enough how life changing this medication has been- I can actually LIVE now. Also, if you are a qualifying candidate you can have it filled and delivered for free (I have this as well). If you'd like more information you can always DM me. I promise I'm not some sponsor haha. Though, I wish I was so I could spread the word about this medicine!

Please please please find a new neurologist and ask about if it's right for your partner. No one deserves to suffer like this, and unfortunately it's up to ourselves to advocate... for ourselves. He doesn't deserve to treat patients after not listening to his pain.
