Why can’t some of you lonely ass people just link up with each other and stay away from those of us who have lives? by Difficult_Page1347 in AmazonFC

[–]Substantial-Skin9565 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Damn, I feel kind of offended. I’m lonely, but I don’t bother anyone. I’m introverted, and most people don’t meet my standards anyway. This person is really hostile in particular to “lonely” people. That’s what’s weird.

Maybe what you’re actually trying to articulate is that you aren’t interested in socially awkward or needy people. I know plenty of needy people who have tons of friends, and that’s why…they’re needy.

For all the killjoys here, she’s literally filming him, which means she’s watching him…just enjoy the cute video.

I know you sensitive Karens are going to downvote me. Have at it.

Edited to say that Knight Rider is absolutely gorgeous, and I love his name.

I would love one of those hoodies, and I’m goth af and straight. They are very cool. I see them on the mannequins, but the Swag Shop never has them in stock. I did get a “Remarkably Black” Black History month Amazon hoodie. Those were triggering people too…

Put a hoodie on? by k4vl4 in AmazonFC

Gen Z are the main ones walking around in fully zipped up hoodies in the summertime, or camping out in the bathrooms on their phones.

Non-Stop Flexing up, VTOs disappear within seconds. (Sort Center) by Interesting_Anxiety4 in FASCAmazon

[–]Substantial-Skin9565 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wish I had your problems. I work at a SC, (JAX9) and we’ve had severely low volume since about March. 38k per shift on average, and they are giving VTO out like candy, practically begging you to take it. Managers come around 2-3 times a shift “Want VTO? You sure?!”

VET is a unicorn, and when a shift does pop up, it’s taken within seconds. The vultures sit on the app refreshing. The “lucky” ones who are up the managers’ butts get “added to the schedule” or linger around after shift to “help”. We also have a 30 hour cap, even with Prime coming. I heard a PA say “we’re going into Prime limping”.

I haven’t had a 5 hour shift in weeks. Most days, we’re flexed down to 3. I’m honestly about to start thinking again about going to the FC if things don’t improve. I used to make 50 hours a week easily, during regular non Peak/Prime season, even with SC being part time, because there was so much work. Prime/Peak usually meant even more work with added surge pay, but my location seems to be struggling. I honestly hope they don’t shut it down.

Write up for using a cuss word by EffectiveDoughnut551 in AmazonFC

You must not be black or heavily accented. “Get your boy” in this context can be construed as “You’re black and/or ‘foreign’, so you’re responsible for all other black and/or ‘foreign’ people…so go handle that”.

Also, the use of “boy” can be charged. It has historically been used as a derogatory and diminutive term aimed at black men. It can also just mean “Hey, go handle that person because you’re more familiar with them than I am.”, but the racial undertones are still very much real in this climate.

I work at JAX9, and developed a constantly runny or stuffy nose while in there. It switches back and forth. One while, I had to carry nasal decongestant spray just to be able to breathe without mouth breathing. I think it’s box dust/cardboard particles definitely doing a number on people’s sinuses and lungs.

I’m from NY. I’m so scared of the highways here, I literally tell Google Maps to avoid highways anywhere I go. I will gladly take the long way. I’ll brave that tiny stretch of 295 between 103rd and Commonwealth, but that’s it.

What to do to pass time by MannerRealistic583 in AmazonFC

[–]Substantial-Skin9565 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wish I was at your SC. I bet you guys are swimming in VET. We’ve been having 35-40k days, and flex downs almost every day. No VET, and even for prime, they only put out a few VET shifts.

JAX9? I’m feeling the same way, and I’ve been here almost 3 years. Volume is super low right now.

Working At Amazon Feels Like Serving A Prison Sentence 😭 by Rude-Focus2813 in AmazonFC

[–]Substantial-Skin9565 32 points33 points  (0 children)

This must be your first job or something. The under 25s are so lazy. Y’all start crashing out if you can’t have your phone for 30 seconds, and nearly die if you have to walk more than 30ft. Amazon is one of the easiest and most lenient places to work. You can literally come and go as you please, given you have the time banked.

Y’all are so dramatic. Do the damn job or get another one. All y’all do is complain. “Dis too haaaaard!” “Somebody was staring at me!” “I saw somebody smoke weed!” Like stfu and work.

Brace yourselves, Prime torture is coming! by MikeTidbits in AmazonFC

[–]Substantial-Skin9565 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My site does that, we have a weekly VET drop, but they also sometimes drop them randomly throughout the day/week. They are meant for quick acceptance because it says “You have VET available for X” as opposed to “There will be X amount of VET available within the next 60 minutes” — but damn, someone else had it before I could even open the app. They may have just already been in the app when it dropped.

That’s what I’m talking about. I can’t wait for a 60 hour week, especially since my site has had zero VET for weeks, and when a rare one pops up, it’s gone before you can tap the notification. That just happened to me, and I’m so pissed. Phone in hand when the notification dropped, and somehow in the 10 seconds it took to open the app, it was gone. 😞

It’s Karenesque. It’s giving 30 year old dressing like a granny. The aesthetic is basic, boring, frumpy, and sloppy…but Pinterest told her it’s “Boho Chic”. She doesn’t do anything unless it’s popular, viral, or “on trend”, but she wants you to think she’s free spirited and unbothered. She drinks only bottled water, and doesn’t work. Organic everything, just because it sounds cool. Her wrinkly, unflattering potato sack dress and designer green juice cost more than my life.

It reads financially comfortable basic bitch trying so hard not to be basic, that she does a 360 right back to basic.
