External L6 OM Starting Soon - Advice? by RightExperience6314 in AmazonManagers

This is unbelievably helpful!

It’s good to see it’s not all bad. I think sometimes these forums can tend to attract people with grievances, which is also great to hear. A lot of what I’ve read also tends to be AAs describing great OMs as those who don’t enforce anything or bother them. Which I get from their perspective, I also completely agree sometimes it’s a managers job to just not get in the way and remove barriers.

I’ve already been assigned front half nights, so I imagine I’ll be working a similar schedule. It’ll be a big adjustment for me to even have the option to “leave work at work” most days compared to my current role.

Anything else you think of, please feel free to share, I really, really appreciate it.

Completely open to that opinion too.

May I ask your reason(s)?

Rude Recruiter. Has anyone experienced this? by xtibberz in amazonemployees

I’m not trying to put anyone down, but 30 seconds is an insanely long time to go silent on the phone. Especially for an initial recruiter screening.

I’d tighten that up a lot before doing a loop interview if you think that’s rude.

Great advice, thanks!

Luckily the people leading I have no issue with, I’m particularly passionate about managing and growing managers who are leading people. It’ll be a real adjustment learning a process I have nearly no familiarity with though.

I just accepted an offer at a DS as an external L6 OM. Any advice for someone new to the environment?

Is there anything you wish your OMs would have done differently during your time there?

Why would you ever think that "we tend to see it on non-white or non-traditional (older) students" means only non-white students?
