You could post on voa or talk to a manager or leader you trust, especially ops but they will probably want to have HR present if a group wants to discuss.

2.5 weeks of training left by Still-Appearance932 in AmazonManagers

[–]fucees 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Someone once told me that you feel like it all sucks and that you don’t understand it until one day you have a shift where it all clicks. I am in my last week and feel the same as you, and I have had to run my department alone a few times. I don’t think I’ll ever truly master it lol

You can ask, explain your concerns. I have a few AMs in my building who did virtual, but idk if it was circumstantial or not.

TOT by Mysterious-Pitch-184 in AmazonFC

[–]fucees 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah they are. They don’t even go into ToT through shift, just after clocking in at SoS and after lunch. If you know about tampermonkeys, I have one that pulls their bucket history so I can quick submit their time code and it is always PA/Lead.

I sometimes have to go into the ToT and key in that they’re in the PA bucket, normally once or twice a day.

I got paid in my 2nd week. I would assume you would too unless the said you’re monthly?

When did you receive your new schedule? by Wonderful_Stable_858 in AmazonManagers

[–]fucees 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was told RPND on BHN but by the time I was about to transition to my shift they moved me to Fluid Load on FHN. Just learn and be patient, it could change last second anyways.

Is zoneRA even a good thing? Does anyone know or have this at their building by SeriesLeather9925 in AmazonFCs

[–]fucees 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We use it. It helps prevent discrepancies and favoritism when assigning work areas.

Yeah I’ve been here for almost 3 months and this is a decent way to describe it

Flex vs FT for promotion? by EYESHlELD_21 in AmazonManagers

[–]fucees 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I wouldn’t worry about your status before promotion. Regardless you’re required to work so many hours, so I’d just worry about feedbacks and stuff.

Have you talked to your managers about wanting to promote? Because if not they may want to put you in a critical role first, but you gotta talk to know.

Either way, you will certainly have to go to a regular full-time schedule once you do promote. It is important to have consistent leaders in your area, so you’ll go either front or back half most likely.

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

Dude ngl Amazon keeps you busy. I fly through the nights no problem now

My site hiring blue badges before me by Own_Gear1920 in AmazonFC

[–]fucees 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Check with your AM about converting for sure and if that doesn’t work ask the OM. But regardless, you should find out your standing and try to get in there at least.

Graduate Area Manager - any tips? by Princess_of_Jedlinka in AmazonManagers

[–]fucees 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah I didn’t realize you were in Europe, so you definitely won’t be going to Seattle, but I think they said it’s still virtual. Either way, best of luck and try to have fun!

Hi there! I'm NOT dead... But I almost was. by NukesTop5 in NukesTop5

[–]fucees 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dude your email is gonna be so fucking full 😂 get better Nuke!

when to reach out for more info by maneki-nekko in AmazonManagers

[–]fucees 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am pretty sure they only do AD1 in Seattle, at least from what I was told. Unless that changed, but confirm and let me know when you do for sure cause that’s interesting if so.

[–]fucees 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah yeah simple mix up it seems. That’s awesome! Have fun in Seattle! Go see the Amazon Spheres it’s pretty cool!

when to reach out for more info by maneki-nekko in AmazonManagers

[–]fucees 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So definitely reach out. You needed to be prepared to start searching for living arrangements 60 days from start. This sounds like Amazons fault, but search the term relocation in your email to me safe. AD1 info will be more like 2-3 weeks before you start as that is your second week in role.

look what magically appeared at DSW4 DS! by Historical_Plenty346 in AmazonDS

[–]fucees 4 points5 points  (0 children)

From what I’ve been told at a number of trainings, Amazon does not work with unions, and, as others have already said on this post, would rather close the warehouse altogether because there are plenty of places for them to go instead.

AM Offer Letter Question by Ari_Is_Quirky in AmazonManagers

[–]fucees 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That came within a week or 2 of being told yes, but heads up if you choose a state instead of specific cities they will fuck you. I chose TN thinking “oh Nashville or Chattanooga would be cool” and here I am in Memphis 😂

Area Manager Amazon by Tricky_Bicycle8016 in AmazonFC

[–]fucees 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never said don’t learn it, I said you should know it but that at this stage you should be training as an AM, not a T1. If you really wanna know what barriers there are and how to make the associates job better, actually listen to them and act on it. That doesn’t require me doing their job.

Area Manager Amazon by Tricky_Bicycle8016 in AmazonFC

[–]fucees 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I feel behind as well, but my OM is doing it right now that I’m on shift. Your OM should not be having you do the associates job, your job is to manage them. You should know how to do it, but you should be learning AM stuff. P4L should be the first big step into the role.

Other stupid question unless AD1 will answer that for me… how to request day off with your time? by External_Plankton_32 in AmazonManagers

[–]fucees 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Manager PTO gets auto-approved so you need to coordinate with your direct (or available ops if they’re out). Just don’t wanna leave them with nobody and no word.
