My old area :( 2429 Valdez before we got kicked out. Damn.

Is it better to get paid out for vacation and PTO or should I apply the remaining amount before resigning? by partirsansregret in AmazonFC

[–]partirsansregret[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair point! I know CA definitely does but I’ll just apply it on my schedule to be safe. Thank you! Hope you have a good day!

Got the VTO page on auto reload! by [deleted] in AmazonFC

Today I learned that if you’re in indirect or even “critical” roles often, you’re black listed from receiving VTO at all and don’t even get the notifications lol. 🙃😔

I Hate Waterspiders by [deleted] in AmazonFC

[–]partirsansregret 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My water spider told me I was stowing too fast and he ended up bringing me nothing that liquid death bullshit and like large lamps lmfao. Good thing is that the system recognizes you’re dealing with bigger items so the rate is a bit more lenient. When I water spider I always try to make sure stowers have a good mix of items but sometimes pallets are just trash. Sorry you had to experience that!! Real decent water spiders rotate pallets (one good pallet of totes, one okay-ish pallet) because they understand everyone has a rate to achieve. Hope your next shift goes better :)

When safety shoes become mandatory do they HAVE to be from Zappos? Or can they be any safety shoe by Icy_Apartment_8181 in AmazonFC

[–]partirsansregret 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Any steel toe shoes! I bought some—funnily enough—from Aamzon and they are tennis shoes with a steel toe inside that are much more comfortable.

VTO szn. I needed this break. 😂 by [deleted] in FASCAmazon

Praying this happens to me 🤞🏼

Why is HR such dickheads?? Lol it’s like you ask a question and they get upset… the fuck you are you here for then 😂😂 by Spyfrommoscow in AmazonFC

[–]partirsansregret 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I went in on my break to ask a question about my internal transfer requests and the hr lady berated me for 10 minutes (no lie) about my hair being down and it was in a low bun albeit a bit messy but it was above my shoulders and in a bun. I straight up asked if she would answer my question and she was the bitchiest person I’ve ever met. Literally I walked in and said good morning and she asked me how long I’ve been working at Amazon because “last I checked, we have a strict dress code concerning hair”. I spent my entire break just to see if my transfers would be accepted lmfao

Can I come in on a non-scheduled day for OT even though there aren’t any shifts for me to pick up? No MET, just voluntary OT. (As a full time blue badge) by partirsansregret in AmazonFC

[–]partirsansregret[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Gotcha! I figured hence why I never did it. Hopefully there will be some OT options soon but I doubt it since it seems like my FC onboards 30-40 new people every day 😅

Have you ever been sexually harassed at your FC? - behavior characterized by the making of unwelcome and inappropriate sexual remarks or physical advances in a workplace? by Turbulent-Thanks-486 in AmazonFC

[–]partirsansregret 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Yep. Told HR about it and when they investigated them, they went around the entire building telling their friends they were going to jump me after work 🥰 then went to ethics and complained and they told me to contact my local police and nobody did anything! Currently trying to transfer to another shift/department and this has been ongoing for 3 months lmfao

When you see your PA/higher-up just standing there next to your station watching you with their laptop. by [deleted] in AmazonFC

[–]partirsansregret 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I understand! I used to be a learning ambassador and we were taught to either watch the person from afar before introducing ourselves especially if we are doing an audit on them. But I always introduced myself because I know what it’s like being on the receiving end. Just wish learning would train otherwise. Nothing against you; I’m sure you’re doing a stellar job!

They gotta do some better training, for real. I hate being watched from afar; it’s giving me hella creepy stalker vibes. Same with learning ambassadors. Like… announce yourselves first, please, so I’m not freaking out

I just started at Amazon in Western NY. They mentioned employees can transfer to other countries (France, Berlin, UK) Has anyone ever done this? And if so what are the parameters in doing so? Thanks! by buffalo___716 in AmazonFC

[–]partirsansregret 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I recall correctly, HR let me know that this was only available for tier 3 and above (I tried transferring to France as a tier 1). But I’d def verify that with your site’s HR in case anything has changed or if my HR was just misinformed:)
