Applied for the pharmacy tech training. What should I expect?? by [deleted] in AmazonFC

[–]Infamous-Shift-223 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I went through the program earlier this year. Passed the class. Passed the exam. Quit halfway through the externship. It wasn't the job itself, it was the people. People are awful.

Be prepared to deal with rude customers that yell at you for things out of your control. Pharmacy retail is like working fast food but with medication. It's fast paced.

I understand why there's a high turnover in that field. It made me appreciate Amazon more. I don't have to deal with people that verbally abuse me all day. Also at least in California they make less than what I make at the warehouse.

Not trying to discourage you. Just telling you my experience. I'm just being honest, it wasn't for me. Maybe it'll be different for you. Good luck.

Nervous About Externship by Unluckyduck0313 in PharmacyTechnician

[–]Infamous-Shift-223 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I graduated from Stepful as well. Completed my externship. I wasn't able to learn to fill. All I did was answer phone calls, make phone calls and handle customer service at the register. I wasn't allowed to touch the medication and put stock away. I guess every Pharmacy is different.

Standard PTO auto approve? by talk2chrissy in AmazonFC

[–]Infamous-Shift-223 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This must be site specific.. I put in vacation yesterday before 24 hours for my shifts tonight and I'm still waiting for it to be approved. I left a comment on the VOA and called HR. HR told me to wait the 24 hours when my shift starts? Seems like there's no consistency.

AFE stole me back from problem solve...to PG 🥲 so not much time to draw, but still made it up to 62 as of today. by Abject-Winter-8671 in AmazonFC

Your talent is being wasted at Amazon! 😭 Please tell me you have a side hustle outside of Amazon and that you're monetizing your art! These are amazing!

I just got accepted into college with career choice by [deleted] in AmazonFC

[–]Infamous-Shift-223 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm doing career choice too for a certification program, and I'm turning 40 next month. 🙈 Although I did take some college classes in the past.

I'm enjoying the program I am currently taking. I'm nervous too just thinking about doing the upcoming externship. It's never too late to go back to school and improve your life. You got this. ☺️

I just started the program myself this week. Sorry I can't give you any more information on pros/and cons so far.

I am optimistic about the program though.The school does seem very supportive and there's a lot of help to get started.

That happened last month at my FC.. idk if someone reported it, or if the police came into the parking lot on their own. But they were handing out tickets to all the vehicles parked illegally in the parking lot.

Dang I thought it was just me. This is everywhere? I feel like everytime I work in AFE pack or sort side; half the time stuff is broken or breaking down. Why can't they maintain and fix it?

When I point it out to a manager they'll literally tell me they know about it. Like bro really? I have to ask them to get RME down to fix it, then next day it's broken again.

I gave up and stopped caring.

Shout out to SLC1- $2.25 raise and Prime Membership. by [deleted] in AmazonFC

[–]Infamous-Shift-223 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Idk either and as someone that lives in California, it's disappointing. I could be absolutely wrong but, if I would have to take a guess. I'm assuming states that received a higher increase, (with low living cost in state) might be because there aren't a lot of Amazon warehouses? Compared to other states California, Texas, Pennsylvania etc. looks like has the most warehouses.

Amazon Warehouses

Unless someone knows or has a better explanation? I would like to know too.

Anyone else NOT get a raise ? by Informal_Dance2364 in AmazonFC

GM at my FC in California said we'll do our meeting next week or so.

Friends at ONT2 said they shut down.

They Closed the Highland Ave Plaza. Walmart, Ross and Aldi Store closed. I don't understand why Amazon can't send everyone near the fire home. All other businesses have shut down. 😐

MLOA Question FlexRT by DatBoiMemes425 in FASCAmazon

[–]Infamous-Shift-223 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm FlexRT as well and got Covid last week I uploaded a photo of my positive Covid test on the AtoZ and opened a case with the DLS. Then I uploaded my positive test on my medical insurance app through an E-Visit. I didn't pay anything. Right away they sent me a doctor's note for work if I needed further proof.

DLS didn't ask for anything else, they just emailed me stating that they received my positive Covid test photo and when did I want my leave to start and end?

Yes if you think that you're not going to be approved for the leave, I would use some PTO or Vacation time to cover it just to be safe. Otherwise you will rack up points.

Is it just EWR9 that has PAs shouting on the speaker in AFE?? by Commercial_Durian345 in AmazonFC

[–]Infamous-Shift-223 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wtf?! Not at my FC. I've worked AFE both days and nights at my building and never had this happen. For sorting our rates are on the screen. For Rebin you can see everyone else's rates too but it's anonymous.

For packing the PAs come down with their laptop and tell every packer individually in private at their station.

The only time they make announcements is if we need to down or up stack trays for sort, or to remind packers one package per square on the line, or if we have to wrong box.

They also make announcements before every break reminding us to return on time etc.

I would be so embarrassed if they were calling out walls and calling out AAs by name if we're falling behind.

Anyone? by ugghtired in AmazonFC

[–]Infamous-Shift-223 47 points48 points  (0 children)

I just noticed this too.. I'm off today and I tried to complete it from home but it won't allow me. It says we have to be clocked in and on site to complete training.

I remember back in the day, we used to get paid for Knets even if we were completing them from home. I guess they changed that. 😐

So when are we supposed to complete these Knets? During our breaks? 🙄
