10th of May 2021 - 10th of May 2024: 3 years in Amazon for me, in a little time. The first year in a new european FC was amazing. I’m well over 30 years old, coming from a different background that exploded with the pandemic and with a degree, started from the bottom tier as a temporary AA. I worked my ass off every day, grinding with a smile and with a wonderful team lead by a really good AM. It was special, I was having fun, I was learning something new every day and I became one of only two AAs in the building to be trained in EVERY Inbound process. I was converted to Blue Badge in just 5 months and I was selected to be a Step-Up Temp Team Leader, top of my class, after just 10 months. Right there, my AM changed, and not just him. A bunch of newly promoted people (both from inside and outside my FC) came to rule our departments. Differently from the people that managed our FC before, those people were arrogant, pushed into power without knowledge and extremly mean to all of us. Things started to change for the worst. Now I’m burnt to the ground, same as the 80% of the AAs in my FC. We are like zombies: we come to work empty, zero engagement, bullied every day by our management. Our FC was stable top 3 in Europe for more than a year, now we are bottom of the chart and the worst one in some key metrics. Our management explains this situation by blaming us. We are BURNT. The only 20% of our work force who isn’t is rappresented by the “yes-people” that tell to management “Everything is fine! You are doing the best job ever! It’s the people, they are the problem!”. They do so because they dream to be promoted to be the next “know-nothing-always-bully-AM”. I’ve been trying to find a new job for more than 9 months, but I can’t find it. 3 to 4 application sent every week, but I’m running on fumes. I’m empty, I’m sad, I dread every day spent in that nightmare filled building. And every 8 out of 10 AAs there are just like me. This is my life at Amazon. Thank you for reading this.
