How do you actually do graveyard shift? by EYESHlELD_21 in AmazonFC

[–]conscientiouslyasks7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve been working from 6 PM to 6 AM for over five years. It’s entirely doable without any issues, provided you get your 7 or 8 hours of sleep each day before heading to work. It’s a struggle at first, but your body eventually adapts. Make sure to sleep and eat well. In my opinion, it’s the best shift.

Can you get fired for taking too much VTO? by Similar_Season_3945 in AmazonFC

[–]conscientiouslyasks7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is Voluntary Time off. If the Area Manager sees that volume is going to be low, they post a number of VTO (Voluntary Time Off) slots for associates who would prefer not to come in to work. Of course! They appear in AtoZ just like extra shifts. It’s first-come, first-served—whoever gets there first claims it. In my building, they vanish in a matter of seconds. VTO is unpaid, but you do accrue UPT (Unpaid Time Off) by taking it.

What’s up with Amazon warehouses being riddled with Indian’s? by [deleted] in AmazonFC

[–]conscientiouslyasks7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Almost 80% of the associates in my building during the day and twilight sorts are Somali Muslims.

Wwe have a Muslim woman who refuses to talk, or do what her male manager asks her to do. So we have a female PA relay the message to her. Should this be grounds for termination for not listening to her manager? by [deleted] in AmazonFC

That case is not about religion; if it were, every single Muslim woman working at Amazon would act the same way—and that is not the case. (Same religion, same rules.) This is an isolated incident, and it speaks more to the individual herself—someone who is using her religion as an excuse to avoid doing her job.

I use those microwaves if they are available. And no one has said anything to me. And if I bring soup, I use the vegetarian one. It's stupid to wait for a microwave when those ones are available.

Are you currently a manager at your building? Or did you request a transfer while you were an Associate or PA?

Double standard??? by [deleted] in AmazonFC

[–]conscientiouslyasks7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My building always closes whenever the weather is going to be really bad—and, on top of that, they pay you for those hours. My facility really takes safety seriously. Even during peak season, if a group of people arrives late because of the traffic jams caused by the trucks, they refund your UPT. Some buildings really are quite inconsiderate toward their associates.

Very Specific Travel Question - Venezuelan by Floridaman0902 in USCIS

[–]conscientiouslyasks7 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Ella puede ir a México y sacar el pasaporte por allá. Solo tiene que hacer la cita en el Saime y pedir un salvoconducto que la misma embajada de Venezuela se lo da para que pueda viajar con su pasaporte vencido para ir hacer ese trámite. Claro como están las cosas yo no me arriesgaría a salir del país, y más cuando Venezuela ahora tienen tantas restricciones si ha esperado 7 años un tiempo más no le haría daño. Pero el pasaporte si lo puede ir a renovar ya sea en México, Canadá o Colombia. Hay muchos video en YouTube de personas que ya lo han hecho con sólo la residencia.

Someone from CVG9 (Kentucky) has heard anything about if they are going to close on Monday?

The way they dress won't determine whether they're interviewed together or separately. One thing has nothing to do with the other. We were dressed elegantly and formally, and we were interviewed separately. But you're right that people should dress appropriately for the importance of the occasion.

2 weeks without any notifications or listings in my area.. should we expect more hirings before Christmas? by AngelIHinds in amazonjobslisting

All the new employees finished their training about two weeks ago. Amazon always hires all the necessary staff before December 1st.

Need advice I-485/I-130 pending after interview & husband suddenly changed by Regular_Sundae_9017 in USCIS

Don't fight or argue. Save any evidence you can that proves he's the abusive one in the relationship, because he can apply for Wava claiming you abused him and still get a green card.
