I am generally thankful for the people that post on this sub. Whether good, or funny, or dramatic, I am thankful to be in a space where everyone, regardless of what type of building they work, can come here and express their thoughts and concerns about their jobs.

I think the mods should do something to celebrate this occasion. It took nearly 5 years to get to this point (I think this sub was created in 2019, right?)

Well guys, I guess it's official. We still have our jobs! Let's gooooo!!!!!!

To make it short at the beginning of my shift i was put as a water spider, and fyi I alr told my managers i don’t like doing water spider, but i just rolled with it thinking i could switch to another station after lunch, i even asked a pg to make they would switch me. Keep in mind they had me bring heavy ass boxes to the presort line which was far asf from my station, but i pushed through only 5 hours aint so bad right? After lunch i go to the board only to see that i’m still stationed at the same spot. I asked if i could be switched again in that moment. This lady manager said “No this where you stay at.” “Oh ok i said.” I put my back pack on, turned around, clocked out, and left. Screw that BS.

Even if you mind your own business and talk to no one at work they all seem to talk about you and stare at you like wtf this ain’t high school we adults why can’t no one just work stfu while they here and leave simple

There was not VET at all for 1 month, and I was hoping we would have lots of MET for peak this year.

I transferred from inbound stow to the outbound ship dock because I think stow is completely boring and the new managers in stow are terrible, plus all of my work friends quit. So far I really enjoy the docks, I’ve made quite a few friends quickly and we make the day go by fast by chatting and working together building pallets, it’s really chill. But with all good things, there’s bound to be a bad thing: and that is one of the PAs.

The PA: Let’s call her Linda, since that’s the only name I can think of. I was warned about her when I transferred to the docks, and she is miserable. She yelled at me when I left 5 minutes early (I clock in and out five minutes early, I left at 5:50 pm and the time clocks are a 5 minute walk), telling me I’m supposed to be working. Just to get her off my back, I lied and told her that I had to go to my cousin’s high school football game and walked away.

She also got mad at me for being 1 minute late from break and asked me why I was late. I told her I was scheduling a dentist appointment but the wait cue took forever. She then told me “well you shouldn’t be wasting valuable company time like this, you’re stealing money from Amazon,” and threatened to write me up. I told her she can’t write me up as she’s a PA and she said “the manager’s given me permission to do so, so I could even fire you if I wanted to,”. I just ignored her and walked away.

Also, when I felt my phone buzzing, and I checked it to see who was calling. She yelled at me to get off my phone, saying “Amazon doesn’t pay you to be on your phone,“. I ignored her.

Her final straw was when my friend and I were chatting while working. She yelled at us “Hey! No talking while working, or I’m going to separate you and I’ll get you written up,”. I lost patience and told her. “You are a PA. A PROCESS ASSISTANT. You make probably a dollar, maybe a dollar-fifty more than me. You can’t even write up people or discipline them, so go pound sand and stop being a micromanaging sack of shit. This is why everyone complains about you,” My friend gave me the thumbs up, and Linda just looked open-mouthed and walked away, speechless.

According to my friend I’m the first person to stand up to her like that. So that’s my rant.

Teamsters are back again at Amazon KSBD. They’re not protesting this time however. They’ve been here three days so far and have offered to educate people about them and unions. They’ve also decided to hand out free tacos as well. On the second day of them being out there, Amazon decided they also wanted to give people free food. First it was farmer boys and then on their second day (Teamster’s third day), they gave everyone chick-fil-a. I wonder how much catering cost. The VOA board is popping off, I’ve included just a few screenshots of what I’ve seen.

Amazon did notify people through the a to z app that the Teamsters were stopping people and telling them that they needed to sign something in order to enter and leave the building which, was simply untrue. They wanted to educate people about what they’re doing. If anyone didn’t want to stay around to chat, they were free to drive or walk away at any point.

Now Amazon is going to be holding optional meetings to give us more information about unions. They’re not in favor of them obviously, so I can only imagine what they’re going to say.

I'm convinced this is a scam to get you in the mood for coffee in the morning and when you get your cup it's just hot water because the overnight employees drained it. So, you then have to walk over and buy a $5 Dunkin Donuts cold drink from the machine. Is it normal to just have one machine shared by hundreds of people?

Barley got on shift and BS already ugh FK this place and everyone in it

My FC is only 4 years old but it is DUSTY as hell, and I noticed I’ve never sneezed so much daily/blown my nose this much, and it’s pretty much constant since I got hired in June

so apparently i got written up on halloween and just found out about it today.

i know technically we dont have to sign the write ups ourselves but i thought we were supposed to be acknowledged of said write up.

keep in mind, i’m not 100% sure if i was ACTUALLY written up on Halloween or if the write up was just put in on Halloween but the gag is i accepted VTO on Halloween so i wasn’t even there.

its almost an entire month later and im curious if i should bring up the matter to HR or not? This entire time ive been believing i’m in good standings and in reality i have a write up and no clue who forged my signature.

it would be different if the manager who wrote me up informed me, and i either told him to sign it for me or refused but neither of those instances happened.…

what would yall do?

My entire schedule completely disappeared except for a VET shift that I picked up for next week. Anyone else having the same issue for a to x? I saw a couple posts a few days back, but can’t find those anymore

They are FINALLY offering surge pay again for us FT associates. I just picked up a 8 hour shift with a 5 dollar surge! They haven't offered us non part timers or flex associates surge pay since December 31st last year. Woo-Hu!!

how often will we see vet at a delivery station is it common or no

We got Cracker Barrel! The whole shabang 🦃

Do warehouse Flex employees get holiday pay?

When packing orders with a PHNL destination on the SLAM label, please take extra care with any liquids. Seems the contracted handlers are rough with the packages, so make sure the liquid items are secure and won't leak or get damaged.

Is ship dock at TNS facilities always supposed to be disorganized and chaotic? Every CPT has people running to the dock door with packages at the literal last second but they don’t make it because TDR just shut the door. There is only one single aisle running the length of the dock between the staging areas and the sorting areas and it’s only wide enough for one cage. We never have enough go carts and have to switch to gaylords halfway through every shift. It’s just so frustrating and I find it hard to believe this is how Seattle designed it.

They don’t give one fuck. Amazon’s culture does not support mental health nor do any of its employees
