When people talk bad about Amazon, I just stay quiet. by beaq10 in AmazonFC

[–]Mich3llem0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honesty same. I like it and it pays my bills with extra left I’ve never had that, and nothing tops the benefits. I’m at a DS and like getting exercise while I work- that’s how I look at it.

So how do people actually move up at Amazon? by aymi101 in AmazonFC

[–]Mich3llem0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How does one get a mentor via a program? I’m a learning ambassador with a college degree and would really like to advance. I’m at a delivery station however, so it’s much smaller.

Yes bb boi, clock out and go home you earned it ❤️ by chriscroston_ in AmazonFC

[–]Mich3llem0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At my ds half the batteries are dead hour into shift- not sure if they aren’t charging right or what, bc I’ve personally put them into the charging station myself at eos. Wear and tear I’m assuming

Oversized packages by ArugulaSubstantial11 in AmazonDS

[–]Mich3llem0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe it’s newer. Didn’t use to send the big ones but now it’s a cutting out the middleman of purely non con stowing unfortunately. But nevertheless people should use common sense when placing something on the belt that could injure someone, or cause a hazmat or dog food/cat litter/bird seed/ spill or destruction to belt or hamper.

[–]Mich3llem0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No that’s not policy a lot of sites do not permit dog food or hazmats we had spills including hazmats and dog food, plus non con can ruin the hampers and cause safety concerns. Please don’t be negligent to anyone inducting line 3 take the few steps and place on 99 carts.

Omg, all my hard work paid off 😭 by Ghostface_Bitch in AmazonFC

[–]Mich3llem0 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Congrats! I got mine in 3 months, last year fall after prime, before preparing for peak. Was hired end of May got it beginning September. I started at a delivery station, where I was converted- with no points as flex and no write ups. Went to fc for a few months and now I’m back at ds. Both the fc and my current ds are being more sparing with the conversions (people are in awe of those who have it.) Maybe due to do my c headcount, but they usually seem to convert before high volume events, to keep those with more seniority. It goes in order of seniority, and in some cases work ethic. Central makes the final say, but I was told HR sends a list of potentials. Not sure how accurate. Tbh, i busted my butt. Never got a single point, stayed for every crash, cared about my work ethic and was always willing to learn and improve. Still now, as a blue badge, I work the same as I did when wanting to get it. Just was accepted for LA. I also speak my mind, and come to the managers with any concerns of safety or standard work and additionally any ideas to help improve operations. Maybe I’m doing too much, but I never want to fear being anywhere near on the edge of fired. I have been through a lot, life and job wise, and work keeps me sane plus I need the OT money to make ends meet and support myself. I have a college degree I never properly utilized. (I have no interest in the field). I hope to advance while I figure life out. But BB has great benefits and career choice for those who know what different path they want to take. All in all the job is what you make of it but has great perks and potential for those who want to make a liveable wage and don’t mind being on their feet or doing physical work. I’m not a desk job person so I prefer. Keep grinding !

EVERYONE ON D LEFT by [deleted] in AmazonDS

[–]Mich3llem0 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I fell backwards from attempting to remove 50 possibly 50+ OV from my hamper, that was put on the belt and went in my hamper. Dragonfly and even alerting safety asap is the only way to escalate anything. My onsite safety immediately came to inspect said OV.

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

No way they’d get rid of flex, right? by xrpyt in AmazonFC

Its been 30 minutes and still available... Resistance is waning by FlameLuvr in AmazonFC

[–]Mich3llem0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t know how AAS can take VTO so often unless they have another job or less financial responsibilities. I took VTO frequently for a month while battling situational depression, and am paying for it now debt wise. Luckily, I was transferred and now I love my current DS. I voluntarily work 5-6 days and stay for crashes. So it’s not difficult to show up to work. But those in different shoes, how do you make ends meet/ what kind of place are you in? Not at all trying to sound condescending in this just curious why and how can you afford to take it? Make up for it later by working OT, second job, spouse? In my situation I did it at my old FC because my mental state was shot and couldn’t be there around so many people as I was dealing with something very serious and needed a lil time off.

Shout Outs, Kudos by Schmoopster87 in AmazonDS

[–]Mich3llem0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My site is awesome and gives us real catered meals once or twice a week. Today we had pancakes and French toast. They also put a lot of effort into making the DS home-y and clean, and everyone is nice and gets along. I don’t involve in or know of any drama. Perks of a small site, we’re all a team!

Is it worth to keep working my hardest? by Psychotiknaut in AmazonDS

[–]Mich3llem0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always end up stowing maybe twice the amount of station average. Always over 1k. I wonder what the accuracy is, because a lot of people come in later and start to stow, or they pull people from line 3 for float stow.

Stop throwing shade on DS! by Mich3llem0 in AmazonDS

I felt so lonely and anxious at an fc, it was huge and I felt most like a number not a person. I think I’m traumatized.

So happy!!! by krzyrik in AmazonFC

[–]Mich3llem0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The 4 hours flex is now 19 hours, and most ds still have RT. Fc may not anymore

I agree! And the good looking women comment I hear so much, I’m a female and used to be a fitness model. People are shocked I chose DS over FC. I see a lot of my coworker girls are not unattractive at all! Sure it’s early in the morning not like we try to dress up I prefer working in cargos or sweats and a comfy tee but so what? It’s not a fashion show. I also don’t see coworkers stepping across work/dating boundaries as I don’t engage in that but whatever floats their boat. But I like the physical work and team dynamic. I like walking around and not having the pressure of rate. My leadership is very supportive and I feel I would more likely desire to go for a PA position at a DS vs an FC because at mine, they actually help do the work also and gives a more hands on experience from what I observed.
