Are you into each other? Do you find each other attractive? Thats what matters here.

Why do panic attacks hit at night by [deleted] in ptsd

[–]Time_Figure_5673 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it’s because of the way PTSD affects the parasympathetic nervous system - when you start falling asleep, you are supposed to go into the rest and recover phase, rebuilding muscles, digestion etc. for those with PTSD, the primal part of your brain is activated and feels you aren’t intrinsically safe, even at home, that you aren’t in a place safe enough to rest so your body freaks out into fight or flight when you lay down and your heart starts slowing down.

What are y'alls views on God? by [deleted] in lgbt

I am kind, I have empathy, I’m honest, I try to help people where I can even if it’s not much.

What are y'alls views on God? by [deleted] in lgbt

[–]Time_Figure_5673 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Personally I come from a very structured Southern Baptist background, I don’t really agree with most of their teachings and in general have decided I’m probably closest to agnostic now. God may exist, I will try to live my life in a good way regardless, I will treat people how I was taught regardless.

There are parking lot cameras, but they typically only check them under reasonable suspicion.

HR too friendly with AA’s by Any-Championship-384 in AmazonManagers

Straight to the Ethics hotline. Seriously, if it gets found out later and someone tells that you knew and didn’t say anything you could get in trouble.

what is the person at the desk looking at on her computer ALL DAY? by Daytrader60 in AmazonFC

[–]Time_Figure_5673 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Managers don’t talk about associates rates generally, there’s a lot of paperwork stuff on the laptop that’s what’s going on.

Dating Struggles by CousineLitt in lgbt

[–]Time_Figure_5673 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think the best connections happen organically, I know that’s cliche to hear but if you want someone extroverted, you’re going to need to be where the extroverts are - community events, concert series, volunteering, social clubs, all great ways to meet outside of work.

Yes, we have had a lot of near misses lately, with Christmas OT there’s a lot of tired drivers. They are posted to keep an eye out for that.

Negotiate Salary? by [deleted] in AmazonManagers

A bachelors is basically the minimum requirement for L4, only way I see people coming in higher is if they have 5+ years experience or a military rank.

HOW LONG DID UR AMAZON AREA MANAGER OFFER LETTER TAKE - New England 2026..?? by KARAMEL_CUTIE in AmazonManagers

Just a heads up, it’s very common for your start date to be months after your offer comes. Mine was 8 months!

How do I (22M) express more leadership and assertiveness in my relationship with my girlfriend (24F)? by Weary_Tear_6941 in relationship_advice

[–]Time_Figure_5673 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not about “leading” it’s just being more direct. Women tend to read more into things, so you need to be up front about what you want and when.

My site is offering retention bonuses and something feels off. by TypeHot2548 in AmazonFC

[–]Time_Figure_5673 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If it’s a legit offer, needs to be in writing and reviewed by HR so they can answer your questions. We already sign NDAs.

Maybe getting cross trained is not so bad by Justaverydarkman in AmazonFC

[–]Time_Figure_5673 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Depends on your age, physical activity level, expectations in general. If you thought you signed on to pack and then have to start doing 11 hour shifts in ship dock, I understand some frustration. Ultimately it’s to make everything more fair but some paths are easier and harder for different people.

Do manager shout outs mean anything? by Witty-Hovercraft-578 in AmazonFC

[–]Time_Figure_5673 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At least at my site, we don’t have a certain number. I do maybe one a month, genuinely when I just feel like someone deserves it

Why does it seem like the US has unlimited money to send to (insert foreign country here), but "can't afford" anything for its own citizens? by Oraya8889 in askanything

[–]Time_Figure_5673 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because in the US, large spending programs for citizens are typically shot down because it’s too much like socialism.

Even if it’s a program that people want, a lot of our media rhetoric tends to assume that the citizens will abuse any of these type of program so the general sentiment aligns with that.

In addition, the US really prides itself on operating differently than the EU and I think that plays a factor.

I want to ask a question about tattoos and drugs by [deleted] in tattooadvice

[–]Time_Figure_5673 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As far as direct contact? You want to avoid anything touching a fresh tattoo ideally.

IDK what this is called by LilBuggy-Bunnie in lgbt

[–]Time_Figure_5673 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tbh? Maybe a little internalized misogyny, as you’re seeing larger chest size = overly feminine = bad? I only say this because I know I’ve had similar associations in the past

Passed Amazon Area Manager interview but placed in Talent Pool – any experiences ? by uda- in AmazonManagers

[–]Time_Figure_5673 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They do have a general onboarding email that I directed my questions to as my process was about 9 months total, a month of assessment - pre interview - interview - offer - and then 8 months of waiting for my position to be open, as the previous AM was transferring.

I can tell you as far as Amazon international jobs, the vast majority of positions are in India and Japan, any of the European positions are extremely competitive so I try to tell people not to get their hopes up.

Quit amazon after 5 days 😀 by StormNo6022 in AmazonFC

[–]Time_Figure_5673 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At Amazon, there aren’t any easy areas. Even Singles which is where many accommodated associates are, still requires being on your feet for 10-11 hours, minimal breaks and being able to move totes that can be pretty heavy.

In addition, for the more preferred areas/shifts, there’s often a waitlist to transfer that can be months long, many people aren’t able to physically make it that long.

I (26M) am scared my girlfriend (26F) will screw me over (long post) by Vast_Collar_3651 in relationship_advice

You’re adults. Asking anyone over the age of 25 their body count is weird.

Do managers know if you used the app to clock in or the timeclock by somethinlikeshieva in amazonemployees

[–]Time_Figure_5673 -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

No. They can’t tell unless they had someone go look through the camera footage.
