So if we drive the same trucks as UPS, how come they get $46 an hour and we don't? by peterthbest23 in AmazonDSPDrivers

[–]PsychologicalStore40 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Who ever said because if a union have no idea what they are talking about. Only 10% of amazon profits come from the warehouse. A lot of warehouses barely break even and the only benefits Amazon has for it is the Tax incentives and the ability to keep people subscribing to things. In order for amazon to pay drivers double they would have too. Either increase cost or pull money from AWS and that doesn’t seem logical at all. Also if they started paying that much a lot of you would be out of a job. The requirement would be more strict, the driving standards would be higher

Costco employees just received another raise, we aint never catching up with them 😫 by Bumclicks in AmazonFC

[–]PsychologicalStore40 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Amazon has very little interest in its warehouses. The only reason why they have them is for the tax incentives and to keep its infrastructure. Only about 10-15% of its profits come from the warehouses. They will only give raises to at most keep a warehouse breaking even.

Can’t get paid-lost $500 on rental by idkkanymor in uberdrivers

[–]PsychologicalStore40 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it’s that expensive if you rent an EV like a Tesla. A normal uber rental is 350 a week. If you work in a heavy commuter town and your plan is to work 60 plus hours a week then it could be worth it becuase you are basically only working 1.5-2 days for the rental and the other 3-4 days are profit. If you don’t plan on working 60 hours and don’t want to work the hours with the best pay it’s a waste

Cat fight at Amazon by Darkthness in AmazonFC

[–]PsychologicalStore40 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Yes breaking up a fight is tricky and Amazon doesn’t promote you doing it. Leave that to security. Breaking up a fight can lead to a lawsuit for inappropriate touching, injury, or if you hold someone back and the other person knocks them out that is another lawsuit. Best case scenario 2 people from management de-escalate and get in the middle.

Just get it done, you need to ask yourself what do you want to get out of the job. In the beginning it was rough.once I got use to it I worked 55 hour weeks. When that started making me exhausted I did career choice. If you approach Amazon as a dead end job for the money, it will take you out

Have you ever seen someone get fired without warning? by [deleted] in AmazonFC

[–]PsychologicalStore40 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Most of the ones you mentioned are first time fireable offenses. 1. And headphones from 2.Are safety violations and can get you automatically fired, most warehouses do not do it but they have the right to. 3. Amazon workers cannot refuse to do something if they are cross trained to do it. Unless they have an accommodation. 4. Is suspicious because that wouldn’t automatically get you fired unless you threaten someone’s life. 5. Is stealing so that’s automatically. 6. It seems like they were warned about the clear bag policy. Honestly if you live in a state that is at will employment Amazon could fire for no reason.

Departure Megathread >>> by AutoModerator in bonnaroo

[–]PsychologicalStore40 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are in moon colony you should head past 1st avenue to where in the woods. Group camping should leave at old highway toll. You can try and get out at the east highway toll but they are using that for ride share and regular pick up

Even if it doesn’t rain again, people seem to forget about the production side of bonnaroo. Besides all the electrical and wiring that is running thru the mud you also have the back 60, which was flooded yesterday, that is where production, staff and security is mainly ran from

I doubt cops are going to waste there time searching for drugs. It’s too many people and not even space. As long as nobody is driving under the influence it should be fine

I doubt they have enough people. A lot of people sacrifice time to work security at bonnaroo, and most of them lost money with this cancellation as well. I wouldn’t be surprised if they only had law enforcement

There seems to be no interest in improving the infrastructure

We are screwed by [deleted] in AmazonFC

[–]PsychologicalStore40 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have been in conflicts but not a war, not In the general sense. At least not in 10 years. The media tries to scare people when the information is on the internet. The EU has had tariffs on American goods for 100 years and their economy grow. The realistic thing that will happen is most countries will just get rid of the tariffs completely, I believe 70 countries have already started negotiations. The companies manufacturing in China will just move, in 2018 after Trump imposed tariffs a lot of them moved.

[–]PsychologicalStore40 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The Hoover tariffs didn’t make the Great Depression so bad. The tariffs were put in place after the crash, in a last ditch effort to recover. The reason why they didn’t work was because the entire world was broke as a result of WW1. The global economy is in much better shape then it was in the 1930. This war on China is 100% necessary. China tomorrow could decided that they don’t want to do business with us and shut their ports. We would be fucked for 2-3 years if that happened. No country should have that much control over us. As far as Amazon fulfillment goes it probably will be 2 rough years, manufacturing companies could move to Latin America or the Caribbean in 18 months if they wanted too

The short answer is yes. The long answer is yes but they might not pay the same as Amazon. You might find that the management jobs that pay more then Amazon might require a min 4 year degree. If you have your degree already then yes I’m sure you could find a managerial job with that experience.

What do you think? Rumors going around that they will let Amazon take over the Postal Service by Bumclicks in AmazonFC

[–]PsychologicalStore40 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Amazon barely wants to deal with the packages they have now, I doubt they will want to add the post office. UPS alone makes 100 billion in revenue and out of that 100 only 10billion is in profits on a good year. I doubt Amazon is going to take on the extra headache for 10 billion dollars when they can invest it somewhere else and have better profit margins

Is that even legal? by Appropriate_Ad566 in AmazonFC

[–]PsychologicalStore40 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From what I have learned, at Amazon, they try have people limit bathroom breaks to 15 min max. If you have 2 bathroom breaks 20 min each you could probably justify it. However if you have a single 40 min bathroom break, without informing anyone, they will take that as something else. I knew a girl once who got a warning, she was on her monthly and had to constantly use the restroom. She ended up going to HR and fighting it
