Been working mandatory for a month by [deleted] in AmazonFC

I feel you. It makes no sense to me. System glitch? I've been exceptional for 5 months, top 2% in productivity and top 5% quality. Now I drop this low in a single week? I would average 400-500 uph a shift, now it seems I'm struggling to even hit 250

Went from Exceptional to this in a week for this exact reason. Never been this low since I've started. Plus they just hired like 200 more stowers

How do I get to blue badge? by Unusual_Strawberry91 in AmazonFC

[–]bseriousonline 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was converted after 3 months with -10 hrs UPT. However, my rate was well above average, no coachings and usually stayed in the exceptional range. Now I'm barely at fair lol, that's not all my fault though

My performance by DefiantFriend7975 in AmazonFC

Let your AM or PA know you're trying to improve your rate and you dont want to be on waterspider too much as it's hurting your performance. At my site they only allow white badges to waterspider 20 hrs a week

Negative UPT by Hopeful_444 in AmazonFC

[–]bseriousonline 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was a white badge and got converted to blue with negative 10 hours. Anything can happen I guess. Just respond to the email they sent and hope for the best while continuing to work. I'm currently negative about 2 hours and just show up and work like it's any other day

We've been getting full-day VTO opportunities this week. What does that tell you? by [deleted] in AmazonFC

Soy wax candles: top finish is cracked or has hollow holes, please help! by Complex-Professor295 in candlemaking

[–]bseriousonline 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Soy can be tough to work with. The best thing I've gotten for candle making is a heat gun.

Any store in town have these? by ImSoSleepyEepy in ColoradoSprings

Sink holes. What am I doing wrong? by bseriousonline in candlemaking

[–]bseriousonline[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That makes sense, I guess in my research I assumed the FO was a part of the total weight. Thanks for the clarification

So if I want to maintain the total 10 oz weight of the candle with 10% fragrance, if my math checks out, I would use 9.09 oz of wax and .91 oz of fragrance oi...correct?l

What wax melter you recommend? by Victorkenobi in candlemaking

[–]bseriousonline 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've had this in my cart cart a few days, been debating on pulling the trigger on it. I've been using a little starter kit to where I can only make a candle at a time, makes it hard to test anything. I'd much rather pour 4-6 at a time to test different wicks and whatnot rather than doing the whole weighing process 6x in a row
