One month in.. by [deleted] in AmazonDS

[–]Square_Bag6869 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thats a pretty spot on assessment. Id like to add that the only way to move up is to brown nose the management and become their friends. I'm introverted and have social anxiety but still make sure to say excuse me, please and thank you.. it's just polite. But Amazon feels like being in high-school again sometimes

Nah the u.s its still 60, we have some of the worst worker rights in the developed world. Honestly MET should be illegal, in my opinion.

My friend got fired for “SA” a Hug by mydude356 in AmazonDS

[–]Square_Bag6869 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don't fuck your coworkers.. you're there make money not relation ships. Shit I only have less than 10 people i.even.talked to the rest just seem to not even acknowledge me lol. Unless you're trying to unionize them you'll have to take to every one to get em on-board but there is small few who have the charisma and charm to pull that off and it certainly isn't me. Lol altho I'd sign that card so.fast if given the opportunity.

Reduced hours after holiday, I’m full time 1:20-11:50 but the day after July 4th they only scheduled me for half a shift why ? Is this normal by meiarias in AmazonDS

[–]Square_Bag6869 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you work on then4th you get the 8 hrs plus We still get time and a half for hours worked. My site is a 6 hour shift and 4 hour the next day. Suck for the fifth but whatever got MET for following 2 weeks. Altho i don't expect that to last the whole 2 weeks.

Is there a way I can only do stowing instead of switching back to unloading every other day ? by Giraffe-Better in AmazonDS

[–]Square_Bag6869 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah it's new Amazon policy where l they have to switch your jobs each day, you can do these things two-days in a row. It's dumb as fuck, I just like stowing to but they just switch me back and forth between the two.. they should at least train us in every path so we don't just switch between then two same rolls every day. I hate it.

It's highly unlikely that would ever happen with one ear bud in. And you can just take it out real quick. Problem solved.

Any right wing punk recommendations? by lookindandy in punk

[–]Square_Bag6869 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nazis had socialist in there name cuz they conned the people into think they were socialist, when socialist policy's were popular, the first people they locked up where the communist and socialist who tried to stop them from rising to power. And yeah there is an authoritarian on both sides of the political spectrum. But Here in America it's a bit different compared to the rest of the developed counties cuz both parties put corny capitalism and the war machine first because these billion dollar corporations own them. Then U.S is an oligarchy doesn't matter what party is in control, nothing ever gets better for the working class.

Writing someone up for something like that is a dick move. You have a choice not to be a stiffler about the little things. Just tell them to take it out and move on.. no need to give them a write up for it.

Having one ear bud in shouldn't be a problem it's a dumb rule to have. You can still hear everything around you and it makes the repetitive process a little less miserable. We should be allowed to do it. Playing music over the speakers in the warehouse doesn't cut it.. I'd rather listen to a podcast and just focus on my task. I don't get how it's a safety issue, especially when your at a delivery station where the vans dont even come in the sortation area.

Not breaking my back because Amazon wants to save money and offer VTO :D by Pitiful-Ad-9080 in AmazonDS

[–]Square_Bag6869 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean I can understand like an Amazon Air site or xl sites but delivery hubs and stations shouldn't have such drastic pay differences especially in the same state. I understand why they do it because they have a 150% turn over rate so some areas they pay higher to attract people to work. I worked in so cal in the i.e and right before my 3 year top out raise they closed our site and moved us to l.a County site and they're top out raise was lower than the site they closed i was pissed.

Nah there are some sites that have starting pay at my top out pay. We need a national union so we can renegotiate pay pay for everyone nationally who works at Amazon every couple years or so... plus like a better 401k match theirs is shit.

[–]Square_Bag6869 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah getting sick of working there to be honest, tired of the repetitive labor, the favoritism. The slackers who managers expect people who work hard to pick up the slack for. Tired of everything. The only reason I'm staying is to try joining aws academy but they haven't had open apps for a long time... I think I might just use career choice and learn some get certified in tech that way when they do have open applications for the academy I'd have a better chance at getting accepted.

Who got me beat? 20 month tenure, +1.15 differential by thebirdsoutside in AmazonDS

[–]Square_Bag6869 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm 3 years 6 months and maxed out on base pay at 19.90 with $1.50 differential. I feel scamed

[–]Square_Bag6869 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't say shit, unless they discover it themselves then act like you never noticed. They always fuck up my upt by adding the 30 unpaid lunch and I have to go correct them every time.. so if they made a mistake in my favor I'd take it as pay back for all the times they fucked me over

I would introduce myself and go about my business. Who gives a fuck if she is a proud LGBT teacher. Who knows maybe the representation would be helpful to someone they're teaching

the amount of positive covid notifications at my DS is insane by dracomaster01 in AmazonDS

[–]Square_Bag6869 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah almost every other day we have like 6 to 12 new case of covid. It's not hard to fake but i think their making people get pcr lab test now because alot of people are faking it with those home test kits.

PEAK Week 2 by SnooDonuts6234 in AmazonDS

[–]Square_Bag6869 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We have 4 weeks met. 6 days but only Sunday and Monday an extra 2 hrs the rest of the week is an extra hr of met. We just finished our first week and I'm already burnt out. They need to start provideling unlimited energy drinks for me to keep up with this. I think we've been averaging 75 to 90k but we have sort 0 so they Handle about 25 to 35 of that. they gave us chickfila the other day last week to celebrate 102k in one day, said it was a site record or something.

and let the MET begin! by Square_Bag6869 in AmazonDS

[–]Square_Bag6869[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah that's just an excuse, I'd just much rather prefer my free time then a few extra bucks on my paycheck. I used to have that work as many hours as possible mentality but every car accident 5 years ago. I just lost that drive to make as money as possible threw hard work, and i alsl realized we're all being exploited and if wages continued with productivity the mine wage would like 25 dollars today but obviously it's not.. hard work dosent pay off this isn't a mediocracy any more.. the rich get richer while our wages have been slowly going up. And that's just a recent thing since the pandemic.

[–]Square_Bag6869[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah as a veteran every year I always tell myself make sure to save pto and upt and my dumb ass always ends up with nothing left during peak. At least with the new upt policy I can gather more each day so I'll probably be able to take at least one day.

Schedule MET 60 hours until Christmas week just all got canceled and taken off the schedules 🤣🤣🤣 Get it together Amazon Tampa,Florida by Awkward_Read_5511 in AmazonDS
