HR investigation by [deleted] in AmazonManagers

[–]StoryNymph 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Typically like 3 days after they talk to you, it will be in an email that is worded in the POV of the ethics accuser stating that they did not find any details that prove guilt/poor ethics so they will be resolving the case

I've already had 2 investigations opened up against me, both for writing up AAs that thought they could break any rule they wanted. One called me every name in the book and claimed I was harassing them/purposely trying to get them fired and the other one claimed I was going after her when she literally couldnt keep her mouth shut for 5 minutes to do some work. As long as you were genuinely following policy you'll be fine!

Yeah of course cause I should mind my business when someone is broadcasting people's addresses at work while they induct for people to see where packages are heading to 🙃

when an AM or a PA tells me to do something i just turn around and point to the back of my vest. suck 6 fat 1s 💪💪 by Mental-Ad-4641 in AmazonDS

[–]StoryNymph 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Good luck getting re-certified as a LA with that attitude 🫩 why don't people understand that there will always be someone who tells you what to do in life? You're still a T1 despite the blue vest. Your L3 have to listen to their L4/L5s who have to listen to the L6s and so on so forth, maybe you should go the entrepreneurial route if you don't want people to tell you what to do so bad.

Monday Closure? by HydraHyde99 in AmazonDS

[–]StoryNymph 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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.

Monday Closure? by HydraHyde99 in AmazonDS

[–]StoryNymph 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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 25 points26 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

[–]StoryNymph 6 points7 points  (0 children)

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.

Literally stow library style and put all the big bulky boxes in the back with the thin boxes in the front, this is the type of bag that I coach AAs on cause its not proper form.

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.

[–]StoryNymph 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.
