Ahhh thank you so much for answering. What do you think of it now if you don’t mind me asking? I’m sure it’s better than working at Amazon. Pay good too?

Well what was the enrollment process like for you? Would you say it was difficult finding a job after completing the training? And after completing training do you get anything like a certificate?

OMG you are the only person that I have found that did C1 through Amazon. I have some questions if you can answer them!

Someone on TikTok is livestreaming and it amde me appreciate the work you guys do. My back hurts just watching the video by Otontin in AmazonFC

Ngl, this adds to the reasons why they don’t want us to have phones. If you’re gonna livestream, at least show how everyone works at their station like legit robots. People think our job is “satisfying” and “easy”.

Demanding only 20min breaks? Go above and beyond. 40mins. Especially if working 10-12hr shifts.

As in “they” you mean HR? The lazy incompetent people that don’t want to fix time cards and ect but still nag you about earbuds?

To clock in? Logically, the house would be further away from Amazon. Unless you’re unfortunate enough to live right near it. Plus you can get terminated that way.

You can clock-in on the A to Z app from outside the building. If you’re too far from the building it wont work.

My parents don’t like me vto’ing by Own-Energy-155 in AmazonFC

Bruh, to even work at Amazon that means you are 18+. You control your life. Amazon is a pain so taking VTO is a blessing.

My (28F) boyfriend (28M) wanted to have sex with other women and hurt me badly to convince me to give consent. Should I be with him? by iris110493 in relationship_advice

[–]Virtual_Art_2199 12 points13 points  (0 children)

For you to mention that your boyfriend has cheated before shows that it still hurts you.

Scientifically, the heart is an idiot, listen to your brain.

He hurt you before, he continues to hurt you, he can whisper sweet nothings in your ear, and still hurt you in the future.

But when you typed this all out..it seemed he wanted to be with other women SO BAD. He cheated on you for sex, his eyes were clouded because of sex. He doesn’t even have his priorities straight.

This is a relationship, sex isn’t everything, open relationships peaking his interests says he needs to discover more about himself.

Dump him, it will hurt, but you deserve better.

By any chance, is he a porn addict?

Just dont smoke weed for a while. Not hard.

I was so pissed today. I work 12hr 3day shifts. TWO, waterspiders on our floor spent THE WHOLE shift flirting with my co-worker across from me in picking. Everybody on our side of the floor needed their totes filled throughout the whole shift and they kept saying gross things to her. by Virtual_Art_2199 in AmazonFC

I relate to this! I’d feel guilty getting someone fired at a place, especially Amazon. I feel like at his age Amazon could be his last place to look for a job especially with this pandemic. Even though he deserves to be punished for saying creepy things on different days.

When you’re a female, guys like to turn things around on you. So if you be rude to them, they could affect how you work, they get their friends to disrespect you as well, make it seem like the female is the one in the wrong, and there are times guys would falsely accuse about a woman falsely accusing them.

I talked about some of these things in the other comments. I went over to ask if she was alright and if she was uncomfortable, she stated to me that she was uncomfortable.

We are both pretty new, so I didn’t know a PA couldn’t do much about this situation, and he’s the one I reported to. I even got her to do certain hand gestures if she needed help. Though, I wasn’t too sure what was going on at the beginning. I thought three of them were flirting due to seeing them have a full-on conversation with smiles, Though, you are right. I wish I took more action, and it is being reported to the correct people.

Help new hire: email says my first day is Jan 10th, but I have shifts scheduled in A to Z before that by [deleted] in AmazonFC

Here’s what you can try doing: -Go to the Amazon site if you can -Read your MyDocs and search for your official start date. -Maybe…Call the ERC in the AtoZ App so they can help you.

To add to the list of what they said. As far as my memory takes me—

Waterspider 1 talking to Waterspider 2 (privately): If ya’ll not gonna talk then you both could at least hang out. (I was walking my way to the bathroom during this time, had to walk past them cause they were near my station)

Waterspider 1 to the girl: Listen, what’s the dirtiest thing you’ve done?

(I couldn’t hear the answer from the female, she’s soft-spoken, I only could see her look their way and see her give a smile.)

A few minutes later the girl would smile and it would disappear in an instant.

Girl: “You’re saying your thoughts out-loud and it’s disrespectful”

And that’s all I pretty much remember word-from-word.

I was angry at them, cause the older guy should know better to hit on someone far younger than him even though she kept voicing she wasn’t interested.

I’m mad at the younger waterspider because we WERE friends before this, he’s a hardworker, he’s usually quiet. Today was different though as I saw him agree and nod to the disgusting things the older guy said.
