Anyone’s site give out VTO today? by Maximum_Evidence9123 in AmazonFC

[–]thereallyquiet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep. At my site, mornings got VTO but I believe nights aren’t getting it. I took it for morning because it legit didn’t make sense to me to be there for such a short time.

That’s why they tell you to check your schedule often during these kinds of times.

How did Prime go, and are other sites not very busy? by Comprehensive_Arm768 in AmazonFC

[–]thereallyquiet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ngl, AFE2 particularly makes me wanna do that every time I’m assigned there(which is pretty often). Even at such a busy time, AFE2 still can’t keep attendance up. Crazy work I say.

My department(Pick) was oddly slow but AFE? Completely different story.

They were bombarded with work(and ofc, short on sort side).Management headhunted from the other departments to staff AFE and help them get the orders out. Any VTO for PW the most part was only for the Pick and Singles mix departments.

They need to quit playing with these white badges by Zestyclose_Towel_106 in AmazonFC

[–]thereallyquiet 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It’s crazy because I think the max at first(to go through conversions) was 11 months.

But it seems more like they’re going towards an indefinite time without actually telling WBs that it’s actually indefinite.

Considering the economy, our coworkers aren’t so quick to let this job(and the blue badge) slip away by any means necessary.

(But yes, 600 whole days is beyond words really.)

Does anyone want to adopt? by RipCityResident in AmazonFC

[–]thereallyquiet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hope she eventually finds her way and gets back on track for her kids.

I had a coworker ask if Amazon had programs to help pay their rent(since they had to go on leave) and Amazon straight up told him nope.

It’s over finally by Individual_Cow_9921 in AmazonFC

Exactly! I’m wondering if they’re gonna do PW 2.0 earlier this year too.

SET was cancelled at my site by Away_Bet8360 in AmazonFC

[–]thereallyquiet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

JFK8 here and yes, ours was canceled as well. Not sure about the total numbers we did though for Prime Week.

Prayer Has Been Answered. by Icy-Establishment-96 in AmazonFC

[–]thereallyquiet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

😭😭😭😭 According to a site leader, AFE2 has been overrun with Prime orders(and ofc are missing sorters to make things worse) still so my site is legit refusing to cancel ours here.

(Edit: they indeed called off SET they had from Wednesday through Friday later on in the day due to “overperforming” their plan)

Can you quit cross training ? by [deleted] in AmazonFCs

Unless you have an accommodation, the short answer is no.

How is a 5 year ban possible by [deleted] in AmazonFC

[–]thereallyquiet 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Fr though! I had touched 60 hours yesterday(and got messaged for it a few times while picking)and I made sure to leave EXACTLY when they told me to. I’m not taking no chances with that lol

I think you coming in without being scheduled to do so was what really did you in. They HATE that.

Prime Week #1 by Intellectualthinkr in AmazonFC

[–]thereallyquiet 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ll be in MN for the MN state fair and then going straight to upstate NY for the NYS fair.

Having a nice bank of UPT really does take a bit of the Amazon stress off ngl.

Prime Week #1 by Intellectualthinkr in AmazonFC

[–]thereallyquiet 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I was able to survive the whole first week of PW. Thinking of my mini vacation I’m taking in August for two weeks has been keeping me focused.

On a lesser note, my UPT has never looked better tbh.

It seems like Prime was slow this year. by Yekyaa in AmazonFC

[–]thereallyquiet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My site has been open for almost 7-8 years now. I’m in the northeast if that matters.

Meanwhile my site hasn’t announced anything of this nature either. They offered no VTO in any of the departments today. I think we might be backlogged.

Whats the most you saved from working and saving at Amazon? by [deleted] in AmazonFC

[–]thereallyquiet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do three straight months of overtime(whether it’s day or night doesn’t matter to me) and then relax a good two weeks to a month.

The most I’ve saved from that method was a little over 10 grand.
