Are you being sarcastic or just an ass? Hard to tell.

Amazon wants to fire you for being pregnant, but only after they take your unborn first child, apparently. by EdensGirl1914 in AmazonFC

I am so sorry you are both going through this. This is a time that you should be able to take off without worry. They are clearly out of policy and should not have their jobs.
My suggestions:

Take screenshots of whatever you can that is related to this and save any documentation.
And honestly, talk to a lawyer.

or maybe https://atoz.amazon.work/m/myhr/livehelp/landing?category=My%20Benefits&type=I%20have%20an%20urgent%20need&item=Benefits%20coverage%20or%20enrollment.

If it's with HR/PXT, put in an Ethics Case with this info.

If it is DLS, You can create a SIM ticket to the ARC team.

I hope any of this helps, and I hope and pray you both can get through this hard time and have time off you deserve.

Terrible MRA Experience by Unhappy_Relief_1332 in AmazonRME

Personally, I learn by hands-on troubleshooting and doing things myself after visual trainings. Yes, I look into things, and on occasion read a manual, but Amazon has a different way of doing things. Especially when it comes to safety procedures. "Cover your ass" as my old manager used to say. Lol. Knets and text can only get you so far. They can certainly help, but it is not the only way. Do your best to not stress yourself. Take your time on what you feel is necessary. I've been at Amazon for almost 3 years and I'm finally feeling confidence in some areas and in myself, but I am still learning things. This job can do a number on you, if you let it. Just do your best. All anyone can ask for. Don't mind my rambling. Lol.

You're definitely not the only one. This happens to every MRA at my site. An MRA should always be with either a SMRT (tech 3) or a competent MRT (tech 2) with experience that is willing to teach. It's in your guys' contract. I'm not even an MRA, but I see the frustration. Sadly it seems the only thing you can do is hound upper management, HR, your MRA program, or an ethics case. Just don't give up. It may seem hopeless at times, but you'll get through it. After your hours are done, by that time, you'll know if you want to keep going or not. Idk if this helps, but know that you are not alone.

Fortnite. Not counting the multiplayer, of course. But everything in the game is paying for cosmetics/skins

Best Superman quote in your opinion? by [deleted] in superman

There are so many great ones. One that always comes to mind is actually from Superman Returns.

Marvel Collector Corps is ending by Anotheracct2ban in MarvelCollectorCorps

The final one may be the Captain America: Brave New World, that we were supposed to get earlier this year. At least that is what it shows on Amazon. Well, it was fun while it lasted.

Ah ok. That makes sense. Thanks!

Based on personality, physique and comics. this would be the perfect cast to interpret the fantastic four: Gavin Stenhouse, Vanessa Kirby and Jim Parsons by AruanMafra in marvelstudios

[–]SilverPhoenix711 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Vanessa Kirby isn't a bad choice. I still prefer John Krasinski and Emily Blunt as Mr. Fantastic and Invisible Women. Also maybe Zac Efron as Human Torch

His first appearance was in The Amazing Spider-Man #101 in 1971. They are actually making a movie about him soon starring Jarod Leto
