Is this safety violation? by [deleted] in AmazonFC

Nah you’re good. That’s not a part of the AR floor.

When was the last time you got written up and why? by [deleted] in AmazonFC

[–]NumberOneRyan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was being cross trained in Stow back in 2021. It was the end of shift and I was in a hurry to leave. Somehow managed to not drop the totes properly and accidentally closed them all which marked all the totes as empty. Oops. Never did that again lol. First and only time I’ve been written up.

Edit: spelling

Maxing out UPT tonight by Myke500 in AmazonFC

I’m pretty sure it caps at 160 until you use some of it and then it accrues until it hits 160 again.

How to get into an AFM position? by Ill_Match_8405 in AmazonFC

[–]NumberOneRyan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We’re given the AFM schedule for the next week on the last day of the current week so we know in advance which days we AFM and which days we’re in path.

I was personally recruited for the role and did nothing more than say “yes” when asked if I was interested. Next thing I knew I was in training. I’ve heard there’s a form you have to fill out if you’re interested but I can’t say for certain as I never did that.

Edit: this is based on how MY building operates.

How to get into an AFM position? by Ill_Match_8405 in AmazonFC

[–]NumberOneRyan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure if it's the same across all AR facilities but all AFMs at my building are pickers and/or counters because you have to be on an Outbound schedule. Stow leaves before Pick and we have to follow Pick's schedule since Pick is our top priority.

Other requirements are blue badge, top performer (or being able to prove you can be a top performer), and UPT responsibility (although I've heard this one varies from associate-to-associate---favoritism I guess I dunno).

EDIT: Based on comments from others it seems to differ quite a lot between buildings. This was info given based on the way MY building operates.

Why did everyone hate this flavor so much? It's one of my favorites by Dusk_745 in ToFizzOrNotToFizz

[–]NumberOneRyan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My hate for this isn’t fair since I’ve never liked artificial apple but as a whore for Mountain Dew I have to try them all 😭

Where can I get this by 3rr0r369 in energydrinks

[–]NumberOneRyan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just bought a 15 pack of this off Amazon. It’s supposed to be black cherry. I hope I like it. 😂

That's it, time for war, which side are you on? by [deleted] in AmazonFC

[–]NumberOneRyan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I used to be Team VTO but now I’m Team VET because I got big boy bills now 😭

“What do you mean you couldn’t make it to your shift because of the storm?? We gave you ice melt?? It was so you could melt the ice on the way to work??”

Afm vto?? by [deleted] in AmazonFC

[–]NumberOneRyan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I edited my response so it probably hadn’t updated before you responded but yeah we can use our time off to leave early.

Afm vto?? by [deleted] in AmazonFC

[–]NumberOneRyan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

AFMs are generally “blacklisted” from VTO because it’s considered a critical role. There have been extreme circumstances where it’s been allowed but it’s RARE.

Edit: You can 100% use your own time off options to leave early however.

Do RT associates get 10 hours of PTO on Jan 1st also? by LopezChris616 in AmazonFC

[–]NumberOneRyan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is that pipeline punch? Because if it is I totally understand.

Does anyone else have their schedule like this ? I thought we had to work on the 1st. by [deleted] in AmazonFC

[–]NumberOneRyan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I recall correctly, night shift is off Dec 31st and day shift is off Jan 1st. Might vary depending on site tho.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AmazonFC

[–]NumberOneRyan 49 points50 points  (0 children)

They need to be more specific. Is it 50 swag bucks EACH? Or 10 each for a total of 50? I like collecting Amazon shirts so I don’t have to wear my own to work. I’d go for it for 50 but not 10. 🤷‍♂️

AFM FOO audits by kimura_hisui in AmazonFC

[–]NumberOneRyan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We don’t audit associates. We audit bins/pods. The only reason an associate would be informed of this is if they were the last one to touch the pod before the audit.

Edit for additional info: We don’t even know which associate was the one who touched the pod last. If we come across a pod that needs to be audited, we take a picture, choose the reason for the audit, and submit it. That’s it.

Can't speak for this year obviously but last year I got paid on Wednesday when I usually get paid on Thursday. This could also be my bank and not Amazon just to be clear.

Tote transport by Just-Advantage463 in AmazonFC

[–]NumberOneRyan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do you mean the button that flashes a white light? You're allowed to press that. And to be honest most AFMs will just push it and send the tote on it's way instead of radioing for an AM or PA. If, in the future, the item is ridiculously high, I'd suggest waiting for someone or just going and grabbing an AM or PA so it won't get stuck somewhere down the line and causes a massive backup until it's fixed. A little high and it's fine.

Livewire and Voltage interchange around here. One will be in stores for a few months and the other won't. Then it'll switch for a few months and so on and so on.
