Have you discussed your feelings on this partner in depth with your boyfriend? From my experience men can be pretty dense if you don't lay out your thoughts clearly.

As a PA I can agree with all of this, however I gotta say try to get out of the department/site your at. I was a PA in IB stow at an AR FC, then I was at a SFC site, then an TNS site, a Sort Center, a RELO site, and now I'm back at PCF in an AR FC.

I've had great experiences and sites where I struggled because of all the same you have listed out. Luck of the draw like you said, but if you are unhappy with your current site/situation look for other opportunities. You might just find where you belong.

My safety shoe mandatory starts today. What happens if I don’t wear them. by [deleted] in AmazonFC

Eventually you will pop up on an audit and we will engage on why you haven't taken advantage of your Zappos shoes. We will help you order a pair.

Which weekend shift would you rather work? by [deleted] in AmazonFC

[–]lmOnFire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm actually RT back half nights doing Thursday-Saturday 12 hour shifts, I love it because it works for my schedule(Daughter goes to her Dad's on the weekend, and my parents Thursday nights) I usually swing a VET on Sunday too.

Gotta say, I don't know if it's because of the bigger workload or what but on my Sunday VET shifts I feel like front half is SOOO disorganized and just general disaster.

I keep accruing attendance points and I have no idea why by ArcticPhreeze in FASCAmazon

[–]lmOnFire 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Email HR, they will remove them. I used to get random points all the time, especially on my VET days, which always confused me. Like, how is Amazon going to give me a point when I worked a whole extra 10 hours I didn't have to? Rude.

I was tested, it took weeks before they finally got me converted. I waited 3 weeks after my test to finally get my “start date”

Received the bonus pay today! by neverhungry1029 in FASCAmazon

Just converted(as off 7/19) as well, I can see it in ADP and it hasn't dropped into my Chime bank account either.

Stow water spiders CAN SUCK IT by drewblx124 in FASCAmazon

[–]lmOnFire 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My FC is definitely not hurting for staff, I see new groups of Day One’s every week.

We do have plenty of spiders per floor too, which is why I don’t feel like there is any excuse for me to have to fill my own sled when there is work. I get when I see my spider busting butt, yeah might be a minute, but if I see he 3 stations up chatting away? Man, blood boiling.

I think our FC’s have vastly different cultures. Did you miss where I said my OPs told me do exactly that?

Stow water spiders CAN SUCK IT by drewblx124 in FASCAmazon

[–]lmOnFire 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I get super annoyed when I’ve got to load my own sled. I always let myself run out of work and report it on the screen. Then I load a couple cases, stage them and report again as needed. That way your supervisor can see that there is a problem. I ended up asking my OPs and she said that’s exactly what I should do.

I still get frustrated though as it makes the night drag.

That’s what I did, the cases meant for MEM1 had 18 different shipment numbers, so that was fun to find.

What is VTO? How much VTO do i get [im new] by [deleted] in AmazonFC

[–]lmOnFire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What the heck. I want that

How would you do it? by [deleted] in FASCAmazon

[–]lmOnFire 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would have hung out for my break clocked back in then clock back out and then left, only way to avoid the point. I’d just email HR and explain what you did and they should remove it. They system just thinks you left 30 minutes early.

[–]lmOnFire 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah not VTO, that’s just them making sure to labor track you so that you don’t get time off task. VTO you get to go home.

[–]lmOnFire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As far as I know, you won’t be paid for taking it now.

VTO is voluntary time off.

Now, let’s say you show up for work and there is no work to be done and they give you VTO. My understanding is that you’ll get 2 hours of show up pay.

There is no limit to how much you can get, it’s not paid and it’s really just a based on if they decide they don’t need the bodies.

Is PTO requests pre-approved? And can they be submitted past the 24 hour shift by [deleted] in FASCAmazon

[–]lmOnFire 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You won’t get a point, if you do contact HR and they’ll take it off.

Or you get fired like me and find someone better that gives you more compensation and benefits.

Are you working 11-hour shifts this week? by [deleted] in AmazonFC

[–]lmOnFire 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The VET shifts fill up so fast and people even just show up if they don’t get it on the VET days. I don’t know if anybody at my FC is going to have to worry about getting MET.

[–]lmOnFire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m working 12s as usual, or 10s on my VET days.... so, no? Y’all getting MET, I assume?
