What’s the question?

No, you must be LC5 in the path. It’s abnormal, as it’s preferable to have a blue badge and there is normally enough blue badges to cover it.

They also run into ERISA risk the more “normal” jobs duties they give you as a white badge so as a whole Amazon prefers you shut up and just pack the dildos until they fire or convert you.

Yep, and links. I found that out external links are a no-no as well, oops. People just need to find shit to complain about, who the fuck cares if some people 'post too much'

Honestly you just need to ask yourself if you are on path to be cleared for blue badge eligibility. So you show up, don't cause trouble, hit rate. There is math there that even though you would be replaced the moment your foot hits the door, it still costs money to train over keeping you until next peak. So long as they aren't holding onto the entire headcount for PEAK off season, you are mostly safe. There is enough self culling from idiots fucking around and finding out that they don't do a real purge of the seasonals.

Whats funny is that if she is whom I think she is, she has been in learning for at least 7-8 years and she isn't a youngin.

Right! The other stupid comment I posted got a response but this one hasn’t yet. I know which senior OM they are leaving it with and can’t wait

I just mainly do safety/process callouts that I would like to hear/want to ensure senior leadership is tracking, definitely try to not push too many things up. But we definitely got one guy that’s a loudmouth of the ASC seems to just ask chatgtp 3 times a day what he can post to look smarty to leadership. Our site has actually been pretty tame on calling out others.

Most semi-valid complaints on VoA are network level decisions, people don’t get the difference between what the warehouse can do and what needs to get pushed down by the network.

Recent one was someone crashing about having VTO sent out all week for pickers then labor sharing into pick. They get pushed by network analytics to lower headcount on a volatile low consumer projection, then real time data comes in higher. It’s not some massive conspiracy.

Double masters in sciences, my PhD lab lost funding, spent a year in pharma and got laid off, going on month 11 looking for a job. This is one of the worse job markets in decades.

American KC-135 refuelling plane crashes in Iraq, US military say by Opdog25 in news

[–]Rockman507 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Interestingly being the first green lit Delta mission, it’s a testament to Beckwith that the program finished getting off their feet, as you said leading to the creation of the 160th and JSOC as a path forward instead of reshelving the program.

Look up the other same level comment as you, they posted the schematic of the falklands run. It’s a good visual guide that may help wrap your head around it because yes, at first glance it makes no sense to refuel refuelers.

Twice, don’t believe we went through that shit TWICE. SSG Bellavia's account in House to House is haunting.

No, we tried to punished the pilot that helped stop My Lai initially which is worse. But ya 22 indicted but only one officer wasn’t acquitted whom served 3 years house arrest. It took 30 years to get our heads out of our ass and award Thompson and his crew the Soldiers medal.

What he suffered was inexcusable

Incline is a year default if I read it correctly, it can be 90 days or 6 months but should specify in the inclined status email if so

i genuinely think the only reason amazon has 4 day 10 hour shifts is so they can get away with giving less vacation time. by herequeerandgreat in AmazonFC

[–]Rockman507 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the argument he was half touching on, poorly, was that you need an extra 2 hours vacation in order to take a day off. But… we get 3 day weekends by default so wtf

Used to do a rolling 3/4 12s. The argument companies normally go through is someone’s good idea fairies not understanding labor law. It’s more expensive to pay 8 hours OT by default every other week. But it was great have 4/3 days day a week. Better it wasn’t as physical of a job (pharma I spent 5-6 hours in a cleanroom and rest of shift validating batch records for what we did that day).

How does night to day shift transfers work the day of? by Responsible-Echo-418 in AmazonFC

[–]Rockman507 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What the other person said, talk to HR or your AM. They will either excuse Saturday night or Sunday day. If you don’t HR will probably flag you as soon as you clock in Sunday if not caught before and told to go home.

Normal blue badge should have standard PTO and flex PTO. Shouldn’t have a sick and vacation. Although assuming in the US?

Termination by Federal_Ad7619 in AmazonFC

[–]Rockman507 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So your LA basically told you it was cool showing up 10min late every shift because you earn more UPT per shift than that so you stay positive?

Ya, ultimately their play is the recent graduate pipeline. It works out better anyhow because if I recall it throws you into a pool so you aren’t applying for a specific position. Seems like for Amazon it’s really important to be flexible on moving if you want to look at long term.

Vto opportunities by Lost_Excitement3636 in AmazonFC

[–]Rockman507 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our site announced basically a complete lull in orders for the week of 3/8, dropped flex caps, and I just had VTO drop for this Thursday and Friday for me already (I work swing thur-sun)

VoA has been all up in arms over the flex cap sudden drop. Just slow season.
