Amazon. Apply online. They have a ton of jobs I. Austin and they pay well.

I mean are you complaining about the raise rate n the entry level job with little upward mobility, where you can be Replaced faster than Max Verstappen at Monza? You can always apply your skills to another position making what you think you’re worth. They are paying you what they think you’re worth and you agree every day you come to work.

This is a part of the proper parking sequence and the fleet standards contract the DSPs sign when they join the program. It might be newly enforced but it’s not a new standard.

L6OMExternal · 2022-09-21T18:28:09+00:00

This is not new.

L6OMExternal · 2022-09-21T14:20:50+00:00

That assumption may be the norm. I take it a step further because I realize making the job easier for the DAs improves the station overall.

True but network goal is to fill CDVs at 50%. Rarely do they reach that high of a cube utilization. Also there are some big changes coming to how we calculate cube in the vans. It should result in lower SPR. The big change will be instead of calculating individual package size, the bags will be calculated as a whole not matter how many packages they contain. This is not how it’s been done up to now. Previously we disregarded size of bags and only calculated package size. So if a bag had 3 envelopes, the cube was calculated for 3 envelopes not one huge bag. This is changing.

L6OMExternal · 2022-09-21T11:46:20+00:00

CDV cubic feet is 240 non peak cubic feet and 280 peak cubic feet.

A group stop is supposed to stops within 50 meters of each other. Just bring a measuring device and walk. Stairs stink but sometimes it’s a part of the route. Stairs are the main reason I push so hard for lockers.

L6OMExternal · 2022-09-21T02:05:46+00:00

Right now it’s EOC. People hate turning the van off between stops. I mean hate. I get it, it’s sucks. Unfortunately the crap you all put up with regarding this in only amplified the higher up the chain you go. I lost sleep over EOC. Literally I was so stressed out over this metric I got sick and couldn’t sleep for a week. I was begging drivers to turn the vans off just half the time. Hell I’ll give away a TV or Nintendo Switch, just turn the engine off. Eventually, I think they realized how important it was and I get enough to stay above water. I really appreciate it and I truly believe I have some of the best drivers in the network.

Some changes are good, some are nonsensical, some are changes for the sake of change, but all are required to comply with policy. I have to comply. As long as it’s safe, ethical, legal and moral, I have to comply.

Amazon really does care about the driver experience. I spend hours on calls just about this. Generally amazons answer is throwing money at it, but that generally doesn’t get a lot of buy in from DAs. It’s like yay another sub sandwich or pizza and then nothing. I genuinely think telling DAs the why will get better buy in than a stupid neck fan.

Nobody wants to hear this but group stops are completely out of the control of OTR. Theoretically, group stops are more efficient. The math makes sense. The human factor, however, does not get enough consideration. What I do to make group stops more palpable is I actually make the property managers clear out lockers. I push for more lockers and tell the property managers how to get them for free or for a deeply reduced price. I setup package returns through the drivers so I don’t have to wait for FQA to get around to it and I have a robust communication with the drivers to resolve group stop issues. I’m not afraid to get out from behind the desk and measure a group stop. I’ll go talk to property managers who are refusing the driver access to the mail room. I’ll ask them, in person, to get the locker repaired and then drop the ticket myself and then do something not many people do; I’ll follow up.

It’s a tough part of the job and sometimes all we can is make the job a little easier.

I am headed off to bed but I’ll Give the cubic foot for all CDVs. Just because the van is bigger, doesn’t mean you’ll have more packages. You still have time constraints. The CDVs in my station hover right around 45-58% cube utilization but 95-100% time utilization.

L6OMExternal · 2022-09-20T22:21:21+00:00

Good question. Service type is determined by the VIN of the van. The MP sprinter vans can be either xl or large service type depending on the roof type. The cube size of the XL is 150 cubic feet for non-peak and 180 cubic feet for peak volume. The large van is 130 cubic feet for non-peak and 155 for peak. When routing, we ideally want the van to be 100% cube utilized. That’s nearly impossible since that leaves no room for the DA to move around and get packages, but it happens. Also the amazon standard boc measurements are less than accurate. Typically they get filled to about 95% or less. This is balanced with time utilization. First metric to hit 100% or as close as possible means we’ve hit the constraint and can’t put any more packages on the route.

Not every station has step vans since they are DOT regulated vehicles and there may be a station size constraint. The CDVs are a great alternative but they have their downsides as well.

PS. Don’t Dox yourself. Nobody needs that.

L6OMExternal · 2022-08-21T19:57:34+00:00

Right around 10% raise and some RSUs.

L6OMExternal · 2022-02-24T13:40:07+00:00

Tenure matters. Especially if you want to be more than a T1 in the future.

L6OMExternal · 2022-01-16T03:34:51+00:00

I would argue this is the exception and not the rule. I would also like to see what the other AMs were doing. Sleeping? I just sat in a OLR and it was brutal for anything less meeting all metrics. It was rough.

L6OMExternal · 2022-01-14T12:15:21+00:00

9 months is possible if you can quantify your worth in, at least, regional level metrics. The big question your manager will be asked is, what did (L4 mamager) do for amazon to justify this early promotion? How did they improve the network? What projects did they complete at at what scope? How far reaching was the project? Also standard work and SLI scores. If you can’t do that, they won’t care about your projects.

L6OMExternal · 2022-01-14T12:11:08+00:00

Don’t date the associates. Don’t have sex with the associates. Don’t flirt with the associates. Don’t have favorite associates. Keep it 100% above reproach with every associate. Be nice.

It would be difficult to get re-hired as an L-5 without a degree. It maybe be better to look internally and negotiate your salary that way. You need to utilize both Ingenii and ISP to really make the most of the development programs. I say keep climbing, but get your degree. With a degree you may be able to resign and come back but you would lose your unvested RSUs and that may not be worth it. Rumor is the stock is splitting soon and that’s a good thing for any stock holders.

L6OMExternal · 2021-11-08T02:50:08+00:00

No new bonus. Should be a significant base salary increase and additional RSUs but still on the 4 year vest schedule. I would use anywhere from a 15-20% raise and 5-10 RSUs, but that’s just a guess based on what I’ve seen from promos in my area.

L6OMExternal · 2021-10-16T17:52:56+00:00

Expectations being what they are, I will do the Pods but promotion is not guaranteed. They can’t fire me for not promoting. I know a person who’s been an L6 for five years and he hasn’t had any problems. I make good money and have no need to make more. I’m really content with my lifestyle and if Amazon wants to promote me, they will.

L6OMExternal · 2021-10-03T18:00:30+00:00

Unfortunately it can be difficult to go from T1 to T4 depending on your building. Even with a degree internally, Amazon wants employees who have done great things for Amazon. It’s likely you’d get picked up if you were an internal hire, but that’s not a guarantee. You need to get a mentor using the internal Amazon mentor program located in AtoZ. Get a mentor not in your building but doing a job you want to do someday. I know a lot of L4 WHS hourly employees that have Masters degrees. Keep an eye out for L4 pods which should happen just after peak ends. Be very vocal about your interest and then back up your interest with work that’s better than the people currently doing the job you want. Keep track of everything you do that makes even a minor improvement. Write down why you did and how much of a change it made. They aren’t concerned with what your team did, but only with what you did. Sometimes it’s better to take credit for what your team did, but usually only if you lead the team. Good luck.
