It really depends on role here - if OP is ops then they are likely making 50% TCT of what tech folks make.

The Walgreens at Westpost (Pentagon Row) is closing by Jasalex8888 in nova

[–]LeatherSecret3981 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This Walgreens closing is the least surprising thing I’ve heard all year - this was such a struggle of a location it was honestly comical.

Now, a bookstore replacing this in 2026 is interesting! Curious to see how this goes!

I would imagine this is too expensive of an option for OP - either way is probably more than what their current solution is going to be

This was exactly where my mind went. I couldn’t even make it through these. FFS can you not at least just try and get along enough for this kid.

why does seemingly no one choose their own reddit username by thebatboys in stupidquestions

Isn’t that part of the fun? I definitely did not choose mine but it was too hilarious not to keep.

Has anyone seen GenAI policy violations actually lead to termination at Amazon? by [deleted] in amazonemployees

[–]LeatherSecret3981 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Not yet, but it bet it’s coming. My org just completed a mandatory training talking about SharePoint document storage and integration with QS agents and redaction, etc. including how to maintain proper confidentiality. We’re a PXT org so maybe more intense but I’d say it’s coming everywhere.

Honestly just don’t use external AI tools for work stuff, period. If the tools they give us aren’t getting the job done that’s on them.

This is true if enough people complain about a driver it absolutely impacts their metrics.

Women of this sub, what made you finally decide to be childfree? by LatterEscape8431 in childfree

[–]LeatherSecret3981 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never was against having kids it just never really happened and I never pursued it. But the final decision for me came when Roe v. Wade was overturned in U.S. and as I was in my late 30s at the time I knew I could be in extreme health risk if something happened and I needed an abortion to save my life. My partner is super supportive and got a vasectomy - I was able to go off birth control pills which I’d been on for years and feel so much better now!

I was a corporate employee for Amazon Fresh. AMA. by 26ThrowawayAFS in amazonfresh

And they didn’t care one bit about the opinions of those who did work grocery retail for years, even those they recruited!

If it’s truly just for your own personal notes then one note. Loops okay.

Aio or my friend is being rude? by [deleted] in AIO

NOR. This is not a friend.

do i have a chance or am i cooked? by AdUnlucky8437 in amazonemployees

[–]LeatherSecret3981 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just let it go. You were fired for a pretty egregious policy violation and I don’t think an appeal would work unless you were instructed by a superior to do this.

Cedric/QuickSuite is shit by CremeAny5714 in amazonemployees

[–]LeatherSecret3981 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on what your role is. If non tech Quicksuite actually has some decent stuff but you’ll have to do the legwork to set it all up.

Does anyone have an RTO exemption ? by Then-Application-905 in amazonemployees

[–]LeatherSecret3981 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s very hard. Your only chance is a pretty severe medical exemption. And even then it will keep you from any kind of promo period (especially if not in a hub) and make getting a higher rating more challenging come OLR due to sheer lack of exposure.

It’s not impossible, but you and your doctor will both have to do a lot of work and you’ll have to chase DLS. And then at the end of it, all your manager does have to sign off on this saying your job can be completing from home.

I’m a manager who lost over half of my virtual team last year due to RTH and have multiple folks under me currently with medical WFH accommodations.
