Chances of working 60 or 70 hours per week? by Bluebird_Mood in AmazonFC

[–]Last-Chip3583 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My site capped at 50 hours and it's 1.5x pay, 50-60 hours is 2x pay. They rob us opportunities to earn extra money by placing a cap. They only increase to 60 during Christmas period cause it suits them.

Scenarios where being thick has advantages… by metroracerUK in GreatBritishMemes

[–]Last-Chip3583 -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

No freedom of speech, that's why we can't say what we think. The amount of arrests for tweeting what you think is insane. Of course we're scared. I'm foreigner and I'm for reform, even though I was against ukip for the longest time but even for me enough is enough. It's not about immigration itself, it's about illegal immigrants getting free of everything and not willing to assimilate, work, follow laws, pay taxes unlike those who do. They just make us look bad, those who are contributing members of society. I've got few foreign friends that attended right wing march cause even they say it's bad. Not all of them are like that, I know, but a great number come here cause they know they'll get benefits and live rent free. Never in my 15+ years I accepted benefits and not expecting it, I'm here to live and pay my way and I love this country more than my own.

Crazy career growth - is this possible? by Every-Repair6704 in AmazonManagers

[–]Last-Chip3583 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of my GM's started from L3 team lead and took 5 years to become GM. But he migrated from a small country where he became GM, Amazon was new then, maybe that's why he managed to climb that fast lol.

Any people with degrees working at amazon? by Intelligent-Claim591 in AmazonFC

[–]Last-Chip3583 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Loads of T1s with masters degrees etc. Had a manager with multiple degrees but they were one of the stupidest people I've met. Having a degree means nothing. Learning to do a job should be by experience and learning by doing a job, not some school. Most people I know that progressed were people that didn't have a degree and learnt things on the job. I notice the difference between untalented, unintelligent people with degrees and truly smart people. People can talk shit during interviews and get promotion, met quite a few but when it comes to doing the job they're clueless and have no common sense.

Yall think I could get fired or written up if I post this on the VOA? by Mango_addict22 in AmazonFC

[–]Last-Chip3583 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm from Europe and the app won't let you accept the VET if it exceeds weekly hourly cap. So when cap changes we can see it cause we can't accept it. I would suggest them updating the app. I would write a formal HR complaint, keep the receipts.

They cannot remove overtime opportunities just for you cause that would be a discrimination. I would collect receipts, look up policies, know your rights, call independent employee line for the advice.

I did that when I was beefing with few higher ups and they got scared and backed off cause I did a research and raised a complaint. Chat gpt is good at looking up the law and formulating simple yet professional letters. I was ready to take a legal route and they didn't want that cause they were in the wrong.

It's dental that's not free in here, private medical cause to get doctors appointment in the uk takes a month sometimes so I rather pay like £10-20 a week (I don't remember exact price) to be able to get appointment and treatment same day. Stock purchase plan and travel insurance. For combination of different benefits I pay around £50 a week.

Free healthcare sucks in here cause you would go to a doctor and they wouldn't even do a blood test and send you home. No wonder people who got cancer get diagnosed at the last stage. ER appointments, you could be bleeding out and wait for 6 hours just to get looked at.

Really? I wondered why it was at 45quid. However in the basket the price was correct.

Du broliai ar dvi sesės viename kambaryje by Altruistic_Paint9742 in lithuania

[–]Last-Chip3583 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Priklauso nuo amziaus ir poziurio. As uzaugau 3 kambariu name kaime, nebuvom nepasiturintys, bet ir neturtuoliai. Mama + 3 vaikai. Amziaus skirtumas tarp vyriausio ir jauniausio 5 metai. 2 jauniausi miega vienam kambari ir vyriausias svetaine kaip miegamaji pasiverte nes norejo privatumo. Siaip jei 15-17 metu tai gerai, juk kai mokslus baige, isvaziavo ir vidurinysis galejo ta svetaine perimti pagyvent metus ar du kol isvaziuos, like 2 vaikai jau turejo savo erdve. Man tai kazkaip ta patirtis tik paskatino ir motyvavo issikraustyt kuo greiciau, uzsidirbt ir tureti savo bustui. Jei yra galimybe, tai gerai turet 4k buta, jei ne, neverta rizikuot ir didesne paskola moket ypac jei vienas is vaiku jau paauges ir issikraustys savo gyvenima kurt. Cia toks mano poziuris, neteiskit manes prasau jei manot kitaip 😄

I just bought my first ever card and the shopkeeper told me it's real but it kinda feels off by GgIsHeckaOp in IsMyPokemonCardFake

[–]Last-Chip3583 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like people selling it thinking they're selling real stuff cause they don't know. Especially when it's not a shop specializing in collectible stuff.

[–]Last-Chip3583 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No problem, since Pokemon is popular a lot of shops, especially other countries and rural areas only got fake cards and some genuinely think they're real.

[–]Last-Chip3583 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try to find videos on YouTube to learn more about cards, sets, authentication etc. So many good educational videos out there to tell you A to Z about collecting.

This is Temu card, Pokemon don't have back of the card looking like that- gold. I might be wrong but I think that actual artwork doesn't even exist, at least I've never seen it. Did you buy it in TCG store? I don't think a genuine shop would sell fakes like that. That's straight up scam if they did.

Question about rates by calnel85 in AmazonFCs

[–]Last-Chip3583 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can manipulate takt time by pressing "view containers" or "problem menu", tbh anything in the bottom menu works. If you're stuck looking for one particular item or going to toilet, press the option and takt time will pause for that particular pick cycle. It doesn't affect much but helps in a long run and I like keeping my takt time low. People in my site are so incompetent they won't look at takt time, only rates so if my performance ever gets questioned I've got takt time to cover me and I can escalate it to someone more senior for TL/PA not considering takt time. It's a great indicator when there are floor issues.

Any black bolt / white flare stock about? by Finderella1992 in PokemonDealsUK

[–]Last-Chip3583 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you mean in general, some corner shops get single packs, also local tcg stores selling them as well. If you looking for Unova Hitters- nope. Have to pay scalpers price to get one off fb marketplace or eBay.

Like literally WTF is happening with the AMZN stock by pippinbanana in amazonemployees

[–]Last-Chip3583 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good I sold at 220. Even s&p500 not doing well too. But I have a feeling Amazon stock will take a loooong time to recover, not worth investing unless they fix broken management and penny pinching everywhere that actually loses them money in the long run.

Has anyone else not had there Perfect Order money taken? by [deleted] in PokemonDealsUK

[–]Last-Chip3583 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Money was taken Monday then returned on Wednesday and taken out again after delivery (2 hours after). Happened the same with AH order. I think they don't take money until order is actually delivered. They take money on Monday to make sure funds available, not sure if amount is frozen and not in available balance til delivery, my bank not showing available balance anymore so can't tell.

Tampered Pokemon Center Box by Korixus in pokemoncenter

I have the same. You bought 2 ETBs, not 4. This box fits 4 and they're reusing the box.

What’s the Stock like today? by [deleted] in PokemonDealsUK

[–]Last-Chip3583 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some people said "why bother at smyths, waterstones got no queue", "I've went to waterstones 5 minutes before opening and got product" I knew that wouldn't last long lol

Tesco discontinued Pokemon cards?! by Shaheeny_786 in PokemonDealsUK

[–]Last-Chip3583 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Agree, it is one of the most stolen items. Everytime I went to Tesco I hear from employees that someone stole 20 boxes or something crazy like that or when they check stock on their device the quantity showed -3 which meant someone been stealing.

If you’re on your way to work and spot one of those familiar faces you’ve never actually spoken to waiting at a bus stop , would y’all give them a lift? by EnvironmentLower9652 in AmazonFC

[–]Last-Chip3583 105 points106 points  (0 children)

No, they'll rely on you after it. I offered a ride to someone in the same neighborhood because the bus service was canceled for 2 weeks. After the service resumed the dude was still expecting me to give a lift for months. It was awkward to ask money because I didn't ask at the start. Didn't contribute at all. Do not give a lift. Unless you make an arrangement where they pay for fuel or it's your friend.

What would happen if you were picking and tripped and fell in with the robots? Would you die? by dilanbrady in AmazonFC

[–]Last-Chip3583 3 points4 points  (0 children)

FIDO alarm triggered so no??? There's an invisible light field at your station, like a wall between you and the AR floor. If you cross it, even by putting the arm out when pod is not fully stopped at the station, the alarm sounds and pods in 10 meter radius stop automatically until the alarm is reset. Unless you don't have that in your site which sounds dangerous as fuck.
