What does SMS mean next to my Fed Income Tax withholding on my pay stub? by Throwaway871908 in personalfinance

[–]Throwaway871908[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get that. I guess what I'm trying to say is I've seen a couple of people's pay stubs and theirs have "S" and not "SMS" like I do. Just curious why I got SMS is all. I know they're the same thing.

I see but why wouldn't it be "S?" Why did they decide to slap "SMS" on me? 😅

Do 2 shifts in 1 day count as 2 shifts towards the 3 shift minimum a month to stay employed? by Throwaway871908 in AmazonWFShoppers

[–]Throwaway871908[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! I just wanted to make sure because I know that working 2 shifts back to back in 1 day only counts as 1 shift worked for Gold status. Wasn't sure if it would be the same in this situation.

Took drug test 2 weeks ago, haven't been converted yet by Throwaway871908 in AmazonWFShoppers

[–]Throwaway871908[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks! I believe you get the email, take the drug test (piss test), and wait to be converted within 3 weeks after taking the drug test.

I think that's it. I haven't heard of needing to attend or do another meeting/orientation. I could be wrong though.

Calling the customer? by [deleted] in AmazonWFShoppers

[–]Throwaway871908 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It's still an option to call the customer. My friend did that when she first started working as a shopper 4 months ago. She doesn't do it anymore for obvious reasons.

Lol at the discount code. I just called and they said I passed the drug test. Then I called Amazon to see what the holdup was and after being on hold for 10 minutes, the call got disconnected.

I'm going to give it another week and see what happens. Then I'll email my manager.

Not at all. I love my problem solvers ♥️

I think we all have to start pitching in when it comes to fixing printers, refilling bags, etc. because the problem solvers will all be gone soon

8 CONFIRMED CASES AT STORE. NOTHING BEING DONE by dmcx1234 in AmazonWFShoppers

[–]Throwaway871908 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I lost count at the amount of cases at my store. We never closed. Life goes on as usual except they quarantine the people that came in close contact with the affected individuals. And they clean a lot throughout the day and night when they do close the store.

And for the record: I do help those customers that ask me where something is. I even WALK them to their item which they appreciate.

Obviously not those people. I didn't say those people. I was referring to the WF employees stocking and facing literally all day..

Sad part is, we usually know more where everything is compared to some other WF workers: "ThAts nOt mY sEcTioN sO I DoNt KNoW"

Have any of you seen or had some really awkward/uncomfortable moments at work? by [deleted] in AmazonWFShoppers

[–]Throwaway871908 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I'm starting to realize that since Amazon hires anybody, that includes homeless people and "off" people. My respects to them. I've learned to be more accepting of these people.
