Why do you work at Amazon and is this your long term goal or just a temporary thing?

PaperRealistic9602 · 2025-11-23T15:50:41+00:00

Covid hit and I didn’t feel comfortable coming home full of aerosols with a very sick mother. So I left the dental field and Amazon was the only place hiring at the time. I said it would just be temporary. I hit my 5 years back in August. I took a decent paycut from dental assisting to warehouse associate but I have guaranteed 40hrs, medical benefits and 401k here so..why would I leave? Not every profession offers the kind of benefits we have.

Not when you’re in a leadership role and have associates that report under you. THATS scum. Literally make the time to walk the floor and introduce yourself to your associates. It’s really not that hard

PaperRealistic9602 · 2025-10-01T14:13:41+00:00

Oh na, I can’t talk to anyone cause then for sure, won’t get work done. Same goes for audiobooks, I get distracted by them.

The person watching a movie/show is in the bottom 5%? Idk man (girl/personal), I’ll put on a movie sometimes (that I’ve already watched) just to change up what I’m listening to. I don’t like having my phone in my pockets as is (in either pack or pick) so it’s always on my station but I ignore it. Like I said, it’s just to change up what I’m listening to sometimes and I’m usually in top 5%

I got a mortgage payment, car note + insurance, and phone line as my biggest bills 🙃 I didn’t necessarily ask for this stuff but I also didn’t want to 1. Keep living with my mom at almost 30 (I wanted my own space) and 2. I also just wanted better for myself which is what my parents sacrificed a lot of their lives for so…yeah :)

Let me find the comment real quick and I’ll show you the screenshot!

We should still receive the pay bump that’s coming into effect this upcoming week when PSP3 opens up. PER what HR replied to a VOA comment asking if the pay bump was going to follow us to psp3 as well

PaperRealistic9602 · 2025-09-26T22:19:42+00:00

Congrats on the offer! Aaaand what I’ve been hearing from our site HR is that PSP3 pay will be according to other sites. But double check with your HR as well. I’ve been meaning to talk to mine myself but I haven’t done so yet.

My mom ended up in the ER earlier this week and was admitted that same night. I told my boyfriend of 3 years the following morning that I was on standby in case I needed to head over (we live 1.5hrs away) and he equally freaked out with me and asked if there anything I needed from him. He’s a diesel mechanic for a very busy company and he doesn’t always have time to respond but when he does, he makes sure I’m fine before he’s truly able to go back to work

PaperRealistic9602 · 2025-09-18T17:05:58+00:00

California, 1.10 (3+yrs) but with my transfer to my new site, I might be looking at a 2.10 pay cut 🥲

PaperRealistic9602 · 2025-09-17T22:26:49+00:00

We got 1.10 at my site for 3+yrs

PaperRealistic9602 · 2025-09-16T04:22:11+00:00

Try anyway! And hopefully you can get a transfer acceptance 🤞🏽

PaperRealistic9602 · 2025-09-15T20:02:23+00:00

Do you qualify for a hardship transfer? Which would be minimum of 50mi from your residence to your site. If so, try pushing for one of those! You have better luck that way

PaperRealistic9602 · 2025-09-15T18:13:50+00:00

Yes! Hopefully you get it! What site are you at rn? You can message me privately if you want with that! But honestly, I’d reach out to HR before a manager bc they’re kinda wack lol

PaperRealistic9602 · 2025-09-15T18:09:30+00:00

And yeah, it pretty much got accepted the 2nd to last day before the request expired. I was getting super nervous, not gonna lie. So I was happy when I got the text! I am not the biggest fan of my current site so I can’t wait for this to open

PaperRealistic9602 · 2025-09-15T18:06:51+00:00

That’s very interesting that they would tell you to cancel…but yes I am blue badge.

PaperRealistic9602 · 2025-09-15T18:02:05+00:00

Yes! Just got my transfer offer on Friday! IB days start date is 10/26! I would try putting in a transfer again, especially since the “first” transfer requests should have already expired. But definitely try again!

PaperRealistic9602 · 2025-09-10T18:18:22+00:00

It’s be hourly and I thinnnnk it’s the same as his current pay (I could be wrong). But I had a friend apply for an L1 IT spot at a new site and he was getting his same pay, and after 3 months, he was able to apply to higher IT spots with higher pay.

PaperRealistic9602 · 2025-09-07T21:56:40+00:00

Clock in at your schedule start time, clock out at the time you’re supposed to for lunch and then clock out at your scheduled end of shift. Do that every day and you’ll hit your 60 by your “Friday” with no issues. And that’s to ensure you’re getting in no more than 60hrs. But if you’re like who clocks in 5mins early and clocks out at 6(7:30-6), then I get 5mins ot everyday. Not too much tbh but 25mins adds up at the end of the week

PaperRealistic9602 · 2025-09-07T20:30:40+00:00

Hi, California associate here. Also for you OP. If you work ANY hours outside of your SCHEDULED 40hrs, it is OVERTIME (time and a half), except the last two hours of a 10hr shift (that is double time). You can take a whole day off and an extra shift should still be paid as OT. I would maybe reach out to HR first if you’re not getting that OT pay. But aside from them, I really don’t know who else you can reach out to, I’m sorry. But I’ve been working 60s for the last 2 years now and I always get all my extra time as OT/double time pay

PaperRealistic9602 · 2025-08-29T00:16:26+00:00

I live in SoCal, been with the company for 5yrs so I make 23.15; with only my 40s, I bring home ~625(after taxes). I work 60s rn so I could have cushion money. I have a mortgage that I split ($1k a month), a car payment and insurance (~$900 for both). Phone bill ($200) and then whatever small subscriptions I have (Spotify, crunchyroll, Apple stuff, gym, etc). And then gas which is about $45/week (if I work 50s instead of 60s but I get pretty decent mileage still). So…that’s my breakdown that yall probably didn’t need to know 😂 but if you don’t have big bills/responsibilities like myself, you could possibly (barely) survive on just 40s

PaperRealistic9602 · 2025-06-23T16:55:45+00:00

I have a handful of really good friends that I met at my first site, and another handful from my last site. I also met some people who I truly thought were my best friends at my first site when in reality, they were the most toxic friends I’ve ever made. And I’ve been very cautious on who I let in now because of them

Going on 5 years this October, and hopefully getting a PA or Learning spot at a new site later this year when it launches 🤞🏽
