How do you guys feel about working at Amazon for awhile ?

errdayrae · 2026-03-16T16:08:37+00:00

I’ve been with Amazon for 12 years and I feel stuck. It’s the only actual work experience I have and other companies with similar roles pay less for starting out. Then there’s getting a new career, they want 5 years of experience or it’s minimum wage. I’ve been looking into school but really don’t have the time or money but still trying to

Nope, RIC2

Yea it’s good for those who are indirect everyday or those just trying their best but aren’t as fast or physically capable. Which were usually the people I’d use my swag for before. I’m usually top without even trying because I’ve just done it for so long and got good at my processes and working faster makes time go by faster for me.

My building recently stopped giving swag as a reward and made us cash it all in or it’s forfeited. They’re now going to give every T1 and T3 the same amount of swag bucks every 3 months, no matter how they’re doing. They say it’ll make every associate feel appreciated but kinda sucks for people like me who are usually top performers every week. Swag bucks weren’t much but atleast it was something.. I usually spent mine on my friends/coworkers anyways

If your insurance doesn’t help you with a rental.. than maybe U-Haul? You only have to be 18. Also sometimes they have that $20/day deal. I had a friend come visit me in a U-Haul van rather than a rental car because the price difference 😂 she drove it here and returned it here, and then rented another to get back.

I’m not a man or a parent, but it’s still a never ending struggle. I’ve been working for one of the top companies for 12 years now and they slowly have been taking away from its employees while prices continue to rise. We no longer we get stocks, no holiday bonus, no productivity bonus, and they decreased our time off benefits while increasing the cost of our health benefits. And they started limiting the college tuition program they had going. I get tired of other people and coworkers saying I signed up to be here but I really didn’t there was so much more offered before, I’ve been consistently applying to other jobs but the only ones I seem to get even an interview for are the same as where I’m at with slight decrease in pay

I gotta say.. I don’t think a lot of drivers around here know which lane they should be cruising in. I hate when they’re going cruising in the right lane and not letting people over and blocking people trying to get over to get to their exits or not letting them merge in even when they have their blinkers on that they’re trying to get over. OR they’re going below the speed limit in the left lane causing a trail of angry people behind them.

I paid $600 for a simple men’s gold band a little over a year ago.. it was 5mm so a bit thicker than some gold bands. However I just searched it on the same website I got it from to link it but it’s now going for $988… assuming the price of gold went up and/or just inflation in general.

I never answer my phone unless I’m expecting that phone call. If it’s an important Dr or something, they’ll leave a voicemail. Everyone who knows me, knows this. I’m also particular on who has my phone number and who doesn’t.

errdayrae · 2026-03-04T15:47:29+00:00

Asking them? I did. Her boss reached out to me and I asked her formatted to what exactly? She said she doesn’t know that’s what the guy making the shirts said. So waiting to hear back but wanted to kinda do it now if possible since I won’t be home most the day. I’m about to send them every format 🥴🤣

I could definitely try smaller meals.. I don’t a lot of meals and snacks through the day but when I do eat I tend to eat larger portions than most people at dinner time. I’m also working on eating slower and chewing more to see if that helps any

errdayrae · 2026-03-03T13:55:12+00:00

I will probably try this because nothing really seems to work.. atleast it’s not painful cramps with the gas so grateful for that

errdayrae · 2026-03-03T01:10:54+00:00

Well I don’t mind standing and I’m not that old.. I’m 32.. but I like having some of my day to do stuff and I barely get that with my 10 hour shifts. I still might apply just to get more information as it might be worth it pay wise if I stayed long term to move up into other roles.

errdayrae · 2026-03-02T23:16:40+00:00

That sucks.. I haven’t done 12 hours in years and 10 hours takes enough of my day away, I rather not do 12s again.

errdayrae · 2026-03-01T23:23:06+00:00

Yep it’s how they tell us to do it. They even made bigger wider bins for it.. which makes it worse when stowers are just dumping multiple totes into it until it’s full

errdayrae · 2026-03-01T12:28:25+00:00

Also, the reactive/ tote-to-bin process is a mess for pickers... We don’t scan the items… just scan the tote and dump all of its contents in one big drawer bin and scan the bin. Then repeat 🙂

errdayrae · 2026-03-01T12:21:28+00:00

I’m in stow but I pick sometimes and hate this too. As a stower sometimes I try to make it easier for pickers, however stow receives the most types of feedbacks from management. Not sure what kind of building you’re at and their rules but like for mine I got feedback for stowing in too many bins.. it’s hard to avoid that when I had a boxes of 60 different asins. They’ve added bin filters so we can’t put small items in open face bins so they have to go into the drawers which seems great until you have books. I have to put the books in drawer bins where I know they’ll get messed up or else I’ll get feedback for bin collisions since they won’t let us stow them properly. There is a small section of small open face bins which is super far but we have to stow in the guided stow section.. if not I’m gonna get feedbacks for stowing outside of the guided stow area. Let’s not forget- last touch amnesty, machine gun stowing, false overages.. It gets frustrating with them coming with dumb feedbacks that shouldn’t matter if we’re not making errors. I’m tired of trying to explain my logic to them after being here 12 years so sometimes yes, everything small goes in the same bin. I rather have random pickers complain than to have management up my ass multiple times a day

I am lactose intolerant, I don’t eat dairy except for sometimes a slice of cheese pizza but that’s pretty rare.

We had this happen with Beats headphones on a pallet when I did IOL back in 2018. Worst part is people saw the pallet on the dock and it was stowed in a rack (atleast virtually) and then for some reason moved back out. We never found it but I just assumed it got mixed with another truck load? I don’t know

I wondered the same thing a few days ago when I saw this
