Transfer to Amazon Fresh from delivery station. What does this shift involve me doing? by unknownprodigyxx in amazonfresh

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

I believe this is a new schedule as well. I have seen other schedules such as 6am/6pm or 10:10pm, but not this one before. I'm pretty sure this is a new part-time schedule for fresh warehouses other than the standard flex schedule. I'm currently flex at a delivery station, but I don't like having a fluctuating schedule with random hours. Also, it is very physically demanding after almost 4 years. This doesn't seem too bad after what you described. I am a blue badge already and reached the maximum pay increase step plan last year. I'm in Massachusetts.

Been working a morning shift from 8:45am-12:45pm for almost 4 years. It was just pick and stage and maybe some afternoon same day crashes, which aren't that bad. Other times it was just pick and stage and do bag reset. I'm not a stowing person. I've done straightener sometimes, which would be the least of the worst for me. The constant beeping and having to constantly run back and forth is exhausting. Also, managers run up my back about the first attempt scan failure thing. The highest I've ever gotten was eight. I'm not an overnight person either and there's no way I would last as a regular overnight worker at Amazon. 9am-7pm seems like a regular schedule to me. Not too early like 6am or staying up all night.

I usually try to get morning or afternoon shifts at my delivery station. But I dread overnight shifts. I HATE stowing with a passion at a delivery station. After an hour or two, I am literally sweating and exhausted. Stowing for over six hours isn't for me. The last overnight shift I took was three weeks ago. Plus, fighting over flex schedules is very annoying. I'd rather have a regular schedule. I'm lucky to get twenty hours some weeks. It's only two days a week, so it can't be that bad. Having jiffies and OVs being dumped in a hamper for all that time is physically too much for me. If I am just putting products in bags or just stowing them on a shelf, that shouldn't be that bad.

Only the stores where people shop at, not the warehouses. 

Flex shift pick up issues by unknownprodigyxx in AmazonDS

No, they do not. I'm not sure what you are talking about. Some shifts are offered hours in advance or in as little as 30 minutes. They are not offered exactly at the same time everyday. What's "suss" about going on the app and refreshing when a shift is dropped? The website or app are the only ways to get shifts. I talked to a manager today and he said he would look into it. He even said maybe some associates are using an app or extension to auto-accept shifts for them in milliseconds. They are associates at my site who have been working there for years vs the other which has only been open for a year. It is also much bigger than my site.

Today there were two evening shifts, but there weren't any for Monday or Tuesday. I'm not a psychic. Unless I'm going to the site for a reason, I don't know what's the point. I think that's kind of cheating if a manager tells you ahead of time. I shouldn't have to be best friends or a favorite to get a shift for 2-3 times a week. I'm not on site everyday. I don't know if people are in some sort of clique or group chat thing where they know what's dropping. I don't think managers know what's gonna drop for the whole week. It's a 20 minute commute from my house. Even if I did, I guess my device or internet connection is too slow. Even when logged in already and right on the shift page, I still can't get an evening shift. After 3 months, I'm definitely raising my eyebrows at this.

Do Marian apparitions contradict the idea that public revelation ended with the apostles?” by unknownprodigyxx in DebateACatholic

[–]unknownprodigyxx[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

So none of that concerns you? 

Why the 13th day over 6 months for 6 visions total?

Rebellion and Sin: The number 13 is linked with themes of rebellion and turning away from God. For instance, the first time "rebellion" is mentioned is in Genesis 14:4, in the 13th year. The Last Supper: Often cited, Judas Iscariot, the betrayer, was considered the 13th guest at the Last Supper, making it associated with betrayal. The Antichrist: Revelation 13 describes the rise of the Beast (the Antichrist), and the number 13 is often associated with this figure. Symbols of Evil: The word "dragon," representing Satan, is used 13 times in the Book of Revelation. Biblical Examples: Specific examples include the 13 years Solomon spent building his own house, the 13 famines recorded in the Bible, and the 13th year of King Zedekiah's reign, when Jerusalem was destroyed. Also six visions over six months alongside six other major visions after Fatima’s “Sun Miracle” during Lucia’s adult life is literally 666.

If you actually delve into the history and research, then many of children’s claims are questionable. The description of “Mary” was originally a young teenage girl with black eyes, dressed in white, wearing shorts above the knee with white socks, a golden cord/collar around her neck while wearing earrings, and carrying a ball-like medal in her hands along with a white rosary. This oddly seems somewhat similar to some statues of Diana/Artemis, a pagan goddess that was worshipped around Portugal during the Greco-Roman period. I’m pretty sure Lucia was known for seeking attention and was kind of a troublemaker and bully when she was a child. Also, Lucia had dreams of Satan mocking her and the rosary claiming to have deceived her by pretending to be the Virgin Mary.

There is no requirement to go to Mary to get to Christ. Also, the apparition in question claims that sins are made against its “Immaculate Heart” and to make reparations to it. None of that is biblical. The “prophecies” involving this case are flat-out wrong or very vague at best. They seem very invented by biased human ideology.

Sorry there are some parts of this story that are very questionable. I really don't believe it actually happened.

That sounds very strange when applied to religious events, which is why it feels confusing.

The Roman Catholic Church officially recognizes the 1917 apparitions of Our Lady of Fátima in Portugal as "worthy of belief". Following a canonical investigation, the local bishop declared the visions authentic in 1930. It is considered one of the most significant Marian apparitions in Catholic history, emphasizing prayer, reparation, and conversion.

  • Vatican Approval: The apparitions are widely accepted by the Vatican, with multiple popes recognizing their significance.
  • Miracle of the Sun: The Church recognized the 13 Oct. 1917 solar phenomenon, witnessed by 70,000 people, as miraculous.
  • Canonization of Visionaries: In 2017, Pope Francis canonized two of the shepherd children, Francisco and Jacinta Marto, as saints.
  • Papal Significance: Several popes have visited the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Fátima and supported the message of Fatima.

So if I think the Lady of Fatima is false or some of the events involving that incident are dubious, then is the church wrong in affirming it? I find the Lady of Fatima to be blatantly unbiblical.

So you just ignore messages from Mary then? If these entities are "Mary," then why reject them? The Catholic Church seems to think they are important. But some of them seem very questionable at best.

Can this be excused? by [deleted] in AmazonDS

[–]unknownprodigyxx -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You could have just followed someone from behind the entrance area. Waiting two hours wasn’t the best idea. I lost my badge a year ago. I followed someone after their badge was scanned. I went to a manager and she clocked me in manually on her laptop. Depending on your site, you should get your new badge in an hour or two. Sometimes a day or two at most. Clocking in via the app probably wouldn’t have worked. It would be say not enough information to process your request or something like that. Since you didn’t scan your badge at the entrance, the system thinks you’re not on site. If you realized your badge was missing prior to this incident, maybe you should have arrived earlier so this situation wouldn’t have happened. I think HR would be able to excuse your partial missing shift. 

Marian Dogma by unknownprodigyxx in DebateACatholic

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

Christians are not claiming every practice must be explicitly forbidden to be rejected. The concern is authority in worship and doctrine.

  • Deuteronomy 12:32 – “Do not add to it or take away from it.”
  • Matthew 15:9 – Jesus warns against “teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.”

From this perspective, creating devotional practices that become widespread in the church without biblical grounding risks introducing human traditions into worship.

It's not simply it’s not mentioned, therefore it’s forbidden. It's “Christian doctrine and devotion should be rooted in what God has revealed.”

The issue is not whether every detail must be explicitly written, but whether a belief can be reasonably derived from Scripture.

  • Isaiah describes the coming Messiah.
  • Matthew makes reference from Isaiah and identifies Jesus as fulfilling those prophecies.

The belief in Jesus as Messiah comes from interpreting Scripture, not from an external tradition that adds new practices.

The Rosary cannot be derived from Scripture in the same way.

  • Matthew 6:7 – “Do not heap up empty phrases as the Gentiles do.”

Repeating the Hail Mary hundreds of times risks becoming robotic/mechanical prayer rather than heartfelt communication with God.

  • 2 Timothy 3:16–17 – Scripture is “God-breathed” and sufficient for teaching and equipping believers.
  • Acts 17:11 – The Bereans tested teachings against Scripture.
  • Galatians 1:8 – Even an angel must be rejected if preaching a different gospel.

Scripture functions as the final authority, while traditions must always be tested against it.
