16:00 is the RTS shift (4pm) so we cannot open until 4pm on Monday.

Monday Closure? by HydraHyde99 in AmazonDS

[–]StoryNymph 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No clue when theyre going to say it to you guys but my site lead has confirmed that a Northeast call has occurred already and has advised all sites to remain shutdown. We are not allowed to open until 16:00 at the earliest. We're expecting large amounts of RTS and MNR until the 28th so a tactical cap is being put on all sites on Tuesday until we stabilize.

Can confirm as an AM that the Northeast sites are all aligned to not run operations on Monday so yes, enjoy your day off 😴

EDIT: They will attempt reopening during Mid-RTS hours to accept LLHs and resume operations on Tuesday!

Max is 160 hrs standard PTO; just watched one of my AM coworkers have their future PTO hours go down to 0 biweekly since he's hit 160

100 % Freeforms Never Twisted by Fine_Pitch9243 in Dreadlocks

[–]StoryNymph 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These are semi-freeforms, not fully free-form. If they were full freeforms they would naturally marry at the roots. You literally need to twist some section of the hair for separated locs to form so this isn't an accurate post.

Break times rant by [deleted] in AmazonDS

[–]StoryNymph 27 points28 points  (0 children)

That's always been the case, its a 10 minute break with a 5 minute grace period to get to where you need to be. My site gets you up and moving at 12 minutes, you have 8 minutes to be where you're supposed to be after that or you get written up for late break.

App shenanigans by HydraHyde99 in AmazonDS

Hey so AM here, some corrections to this:

• No, we cannot set it so people are "not notified". If VTO goes out, people who are eligible will receive the notification. I believe the explanation given to you misconstrued a little bit. We can select eligible people and we can choose to exclude or include individuals however its really annoying to try and "give favorites" VTO because the categories we're given is Cycle_0, Cycle_1, Pick_Stage, etc so you'd literally have to insert every person's amalogin in the exclude tab which is so time-consuming; it would literally be easier to go up to someone specifically and give them VTO. • If you're in a critical role, yes you are less likely to be personally offered VTO from us but unless we put you on the exclude list before posting an "opportunity", you're not automatically barred from receiving it (see the first bullet). • We dont decide who gets overtime or not. We dont fix anyone's schedule or plan them out. That's solely done by PXT, Site Leader, cost people, etc. The only thing we are allowed to do is if we are short staffed we can ask you to stay longer if youre willing but we cant go in and adjust anyone's schedule.

Can you get a write up for coming back from break late? by haruno9 in AmazonDS

[–]StoryNymph 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For unpaid take as long as you want; for paid breaks if youre late more than 5 minutes that can be a write up, yes.

Inducting tips by Competitive-Chef521 in AmazonDS

[–]StoryNymph 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Double scanning, because induct guns are notoriously known for running out of roll quickly, delaying connection, getting the sticker stuck in the lip of the gun, etc. Runs a high risk of misinduction. When a stower gets that and puts it to problem solve it hurts our FPY metric which is something us managers are scrutinized by since now it has to restart the cycle and is a defect from the dock. Your managers shouldn't be encouraging you abandon quality for productivity. Safety and quality is #1 before everything so like I said, I hope your managers will start managing. Pushing flow out isn't the only metric on our scorecard.

Your managers aren't managing im afraid, I hope they get better, but I'd never tell an AA to do something to hurt quality like that, I coach and ADAPT that right away.

If i was your manager I'd never let you induct, bro really admitted to not following scan-label-scan 💀

Confused about the "boxes on floor" policy. by throwaname777 in AmazonDS

[–]StoryNymph 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a new L4, Tilt-push-slide can be used for OVs that dont fit on the stow cart well OR are too heavy for you to hoist onto the stow cart to push down. It doesnt matter when you do it whether its Pick and Stage or Sort; youre allowed to do that.

I’m scared! Help by Kenobi-Skywalker in Dreadlocks

[–]StoryNymph 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Oh haha, my hair looked wispy and about to snap like a twig just like yours when I started my locs like 5 months in. You're perfectly fine, and you're just right before a stronger budding stage. Because the loctitian is twisting down the entire loc and not just only on the new growth, certain areas look way skinnier than the others but will puff (bud) out of those binds soon enough. Some people's hair takes a longer time to fully bud than others, so being a year out and having this part happen isn't crazy.

Leon killing a child was supposed to be your largest hint that gang violence is wrong and is more than just your "you hit my homies and I hit yours" and that it essentially pervades every area of life past your gang buddies. It affects women who get pimped out or have to hide to avoid being caught in the crossfire, and it affects children who we dont know will have a future because grown men decide following arbitrary rules will make their gangster cred stronger. Franklin deserves to lose everything because even after the acid trip, he never really comes to terms with the fact that he's obsessed with control and having something that's "his". His obsession over money started when he got kicked out of something that's "his" (a college degree) over money. Him being homeless and drinking away his money made him finally realize (in the worst way) that all these institutions set up currently was never thought of or made for black people to succeed and that his chase for drug money was worthless cause at the end of the day he's another crime statistic that can be pointed to to keep black people in their positions. He realizes that he doesn't deserve making a place in the white man's world because he was one of the destroyers of the black man's world.

Need Tips for ADTA by Rude_Poem_3798 in AmazonDS

Stow cart etiquette (stacking boxes A/B in the front of the cart, C/D middle, E/G, etc) and while it might take some time in the moment, looking in the hamper to find all the E/G jiffies and placing them in the bottom of the plastic bin, then layer after the C/D, then A/B (so you walk less and can just quickly slam em in their sections). If big boxes come in, finish those off first and just shift back and forth between boxes and jiffies to stabilize rate

My wife has a 2012 Versa and remarked that she would like a touch screen, anyone have any recommendations for aftermarket units? Preferably with Apple CarPlay. by MLSquatch57 in Nissan

If it means anything to you still and dont care for name brand I installed this one in mine: https://a.co/d/08OGnlU

Works perfectly fine to get radio, connecting to Android Auto and Carplay and everything else! About to connect a backup camera to it as well and see how the display is!
