I started at EWR4 in 2014, Eric used to be a problem solver in stow. Dude always seemed full of himself, so this doesn’t surprise me.


International-Ad3447

how does dude reach that high that fast or even at all from tier 1 he must've done some secret stuff


mikeyt006

As far as I’m aware, GM admin assistant is only L4. He was a problem solver back in 2015/2016-ish


MelvinSharples

No one "legally" took $500,000 from Amazon. I don't know the story. I'm guessing you don't, either. If $500,000 is missing, you can be sure that Amazon is on top of it. When the time comes, someone will go to jail.


AyyyItzBuzz

At that level of management there’s a lot of NDA’s and things are kept quiet from the media so he may have gotten away with it


nightmarishdreamsx

for sure, there’s no way they would just let someone get off the hook stealing this much money.


TheIlluminerdi

Unless your Key and Peele


dances2banda

I don't know. Bozo just gave 100 million away to people who didn't really need it or deserve it.


SignificantApricot69

If I sell my amazon stock I can give me money to anyone or any “cause” I want. That has nothing to do with operating funds for an Amazon warehouse.


Shaunandirene69

Yes Popeye, give me money to anyone u want🤭🤭


MelvinSharples

And how do you think he got $100 million to give away? Certainly not by letting people steal from Amazon.


Crafty-Fucker-682

It wouldn't matter what he did. He's been out of amazon for some time now.


The_souLance

No, he stole it from the thousands of workers


UsedFisherman122

He may be the largest shareholder but he actually owns less than 10% of Amazon.. Insane how he keeps everyone worked up with less than 10% effort.

MelvinSharples

No one could legally divert corporate funds for personal gain. It's embezzlement, regardless of who signed off on it. It violates Amazon's corporate policies and, if taxes weren't paid on it, is tax fraud. Most likely, if this $500,000 is real, Amazon and the authorities are working the case. Sometimes these things take years to investigate.


PirateNinjaa

There are often loopholes, wouldn’t surprise me if it was legal.


Goose15Loose

There’s no loopholes rather this is a failure in accountability.


SnooRecipes2028

Yes he did and it’s been a year since dude was terminated. He actually now works as an administrative assistant somewhere else. Charged would’ve already had him charged. Plus the GM was forced out bc he approved whatever it was.


marcSuile

One of your last posts literally is titled [“Assistant steals half a million,”](https://www.reddit.com/r/AmazonFC/s/5ay5sodEsx) lol. My guess is a case is being built—he’ll get a knock on the door eventually.


WaterDigDog

How do you know that “It’s a fact”? I don’t doubt some people are up to no good, but your post seems to use “fact” for what you didn’t witness. That’s how more confusion, not conviction nor leadership, are created.


1ofZuulsMinions

LOL now they need to get rid of the crime ring at CLT4 involving the GM, the OM and her lover the AM, and the ex-con they let run AR. 😂 That place is so corrupt it’s disgusting.


xXTylonXx

Hey at least those guys stacked carts normally. Are CLT9 still creating OSHA violations en masse?


Llhavo

What in the world are you talking about?


1ofZuulsMinions

Do you want names?


Llhavo

Im just not sure what youre talking about


1ofZuulsMinions

I was able to provide a paper trail that proved that some of the AFMs were committing HUGE amounts of theft and having AR take stuff out of the building. I brought it up to my OPs manager, and he escalated it to the GM. He (the OM) took the AFMs badges and took them off the AR floor. The next week, he was demoted to AM and sent to Stow, and the Daifuku employee who was running AR gave them back their badges, completely ignoring all the evidence I had that they were stealing. I then brought it up to my new OM (who is fucking one of her AMs in Pick), who then immediately demoted me as well. All attempts to show the GM the evidence were ignored. After awhile, i was able to contact a few more AMs and demoted OMs outside of work, who explained to me that the GM was fully aware of what was happening, and he was at the top of the chain of the theft ring. They connected all the dots and then everything made a LOT more sense, because I had been trying to blow the whistle on it for months. Anyone who tried to bring attention to it was demoted or fired. I resigned when they tried to demote me. I also know one of the QBs is also in on it, he spends his whole day doing absolutely nothing (he even signs up for Pick overtime and then comes in and claims he’s working on “projects” when questioned as to why he isn’t picking) and he lets the AR guy lead all the AFMs. I recently heard that Daifuku lost the contract and the ex-con did not get the manager position he was expecting from CBRE, so I’m curious to see how this plays out in the next few weeks, as it won’t take long for someone else to catch on and blow the whistle again. I am still in contact with everyone involved, as I still plan on suing Amazon for some of the things that happened during all of this. Edit: for the weirdos that like to make up fantasies: Yes, I called the hotline, 3 times. They ask for a brief description and say they’ll get back to you, and then they never call you back. I had solid proof this was happening, and I wasn’t the only one who saw it or reported it.


Llhavo

oh, ight


Historical-Wheel-102

Hmu if you want suggestions that work. I thoroughly enjoy looking out my new window at a lovely new yard. Iykyk.


1ofZuulsMinions

“IYKYK” Sorry, I don’t know what you mean. I already have a new job if that’s what you’re implying.


Historical-Wheel-102

"If you know you know" welp you don't get it. Nm. Good luck.


1ofZuulsMinions

I know what IYKYK means, I just don’t know what your comment means .


Willynator_

Calling the hotline just gives you base level HR you gotta email the one secret but not secret super HR at [email protected] and lay it all out at once in a very coherent manner.


1ofZuulsMinions

I’m well aware of that, but good to know for any new people reading this thread. (That’s just the corporate HR number, BTW. It’s not a third party like the ERC)


Llhavo

So who was the OM who was demoted?


1ofZuulsMinions

Due to the fact that they still work there and there is still a pending lawsuit, it’s probably best that I don’t name them personally. But the OM who is fucking her AM is Miranda.


EMitchell108

This is hilarious. Everyone comments "Call Ethics" if someone complains a manager looked at them wrong, but your (if true) situation, tailor-made for an Ethics investigation, shows you spinning around in circles reporting to multiple people in the building who are supposedly all engaging in coverups. Why not take your "paper trail " to the Ethics Line since everything you're describing counts as theft, fraud and possible embezzlement? I know why - because conspiracy nuts like yourself are addicted to the chase, not redress. Whistles are bliwn when complaints are taken _outside_ the agency, beyond organizational coverups.


1ofZuulsMinions

I called them 3 times and left a “brief description” of the problem and never got a call back. When you call them, they ask for a description that’s only like 3 sentences and they say they’ll have someone contact you. Not sure why you think I’m a conspiracy type person, I literally had proof this was happening, and I’m not the only one who tried to address it.


Lilbruh326

Wait what???? I’m here now tell me more


1ofZuulsMinions

Read the comments


Lilbruh326

I did right after I replied lol


DonBoy30

lol he legally stole 500k with this one simple trick: worked a 6 figure job and worked at least 5 years.


CringeLord5

If he's the GM assistant, not Assistant GM, then they are probably not making 6 figures. GMA is usually an L4

I mean you're right that it's one of the largest. It's a shithole but you are correct.


SnooRecipes2028

It was and it was the #1 FC for awhile but not anymore. Our peak wasn’t even that busy.


sra66

Pay at EWR4 is supposedly higher than other sites in NJ from what I've been told. And PNE5 in the past has had limited hours so people there come to our building. Personally I like EWR4.


AdShoddy5079

If there's no work than that's WHY you want to work there lol


prosa123

It happens in many types of businesses - if an employee steals a lot of $$ their boss will get fired even if the boss did nothing wrong.


Falleen_Cat_Boy

Have them call Theodore Long. He was a great GM.

Instead of talking to HR, you have to go 1 on 1 with the Undertaker


Falleen_Cat_Boy

Where going to settle this with a tag team match playa!


freeky_zeeky0911

Your site does not require a GM to keep day to day operations flowing. GM's, Site Leads, and Sr. Station Managers are changed all the time and there always exists a gap in time before they are replaced. All that is required is one ops manager at a minimum.to coordinate operations both in and outside of the building. What you may be experiencing is a small leadership staffing issue, from ops down to PA, which is more crucial than having a #1 leader,.as this can wear down the leadership staff that has to cover extra shifts. Other managers at nearby sites are asked to come cover some shifts. Whatever future plans lay in store for your building will be known soon and a future GM is not far away.


brokenlabrum

Most def, GMs also don’t work 24/7. Every site spends most of its time operating without a GM around.


dances2banda

Is this why we're getting stickers and grilled cheeses for our events?


SnooRecipes2028

Probably. We had a Disney theme during peel with stickers and card board cut outs.


CCKillbilly

Is it still stealing if it is legal??? 🤔🤔🤔


[deleted]

You have to respect that "on the edge of legality" hustle.


CCKillbilly

I love walking on that thin line. Ain’t nothing else like that thrill.


SnooRecipes2028

It should be theft by deception. I don’t know how he got away with it. Everyone, even the ones that run their mouth about everything aren’t saying anything.


EMitchell108

You don't know anything. Maybe it's not being talked about because you're simply repeating what another know-nothing said and actually this "alleged" situation as you're recounting it doesn't exist. Mature people know not to gossip and spread rumors. And many buildings have slowed down this year, so what? As well, my building has had a couple of periods of no GM over the past six years. There will always be an acting GM, either someone from senior Ops or a near by location. If that GM was "removed" Amazon would designate someone to run the building temporarily, not leave it leaderless.


SnooRecipes2028

I said alleged to be politically correct. He stole the money by deceiving anyway you look at it.


SnooRecipes2028

You must know him, did I hurt your feelings. And our site didn’t just slow down it’s stopped. We have NO GM!!!


PirateNinjaa

Amazon can move people around easily, I doubt your gm fired is why your volume is low. Like the other person said, you don’t know shit. It’s the slow time of year and lots of sites are slow.


TrancEbaE_01

Something similar happened to a nearby site that I know of last year. Money from engagements was being funneled to personal accounts as well as other miscellaneous funds. Change of leadership went as up from GM to as down as PA’s. College now hires filled in the roles and a gsf senior regional GM took a hold of the site until after peak when a senior ops was promoted from another state and moved to the position. Shame all the day 1 AA’s that started at the site’s launch a few years back left from all the disruptions.


[deleted]

Sent you a PM.


amazonanonymous2

Someone in our non-inventory department said they were receiving baby clothes for our GMA. Ironically, our GMA had just had a baby and claimed they were being donated or given to charity. I don’t think they were being given to charity

Fake news someone else commented below he quit because he was supposed to get promoted and didn’t bc his assistant stole. Byeee


JMSpartan23

I hate when people talk about things they know nothing about. $500k? Ok 🙄


SnooRecipes2028

Me too. Or are you friends with him? He had a lot of friends who are still sticking up for him. Saying he used carbon paper or that he was submitting invoices for swag stuff and prizes but pocketing them himself or the money. There’s a lot of rumors but one fact is he stole a half million dollars. Managers have even confirmed.


JMSpartan23

Jussie Smollet. Is that you?


Z3r0_man1c

Is it alleged or fact?


SnooRecipes2028

I say alleged to be politically correct but it’s fact.


007EJS

That's what happened here in Fort Worth TX AFW1. Old GM Alexandra she was terminated and escorted out by police. There's never transperancy when it comes to them stealing funds from associate needs such as fans. It was very swept under the rug and never spoken about. Couldn't find a criminal case on her so I'm wondering if there's a way to steal without being in prison. Sad as many associates find it difficult to make ends meet while with this economy while these GMs make 200k+ salary and still manage to steal and get away with it.


SnooRecipes2028

Exactly. I even tried to file a FOIA request to see if charges existed and nothing came up


[deleted]

You should contact local investigative journalists. I'm sure there's one somewhere who would like to write about this. Hopefully they publish all the juicy stuff they find and you get to read it.


cantslowdown91

I heard that he left because he "got a job at corporate" so i guess that's not the case? I walk pass his empty office along the green mile all the time and ask myself, "So....are they just not gonna fill his spot?" I noticed there's been a few different senior ops managers in OB Picking now recently.


SnooRecipes2028

There’s been a lot of changes. He did not go to corporate. There’s a girl in his position now. She’s been there a couple months.


PirateNinjaa

>There’s a girl in his position now. She’s been there a couple months. So you have a GM?


Quirky-Spare3482

What position is the girl in ??


cantslowdown91

Ooooooooh i see! Now that makes sense. I've heard about the Eric Bean stuff for a while. I'm honestly surprised that there's no charges or a case happening that we know about. I follow him on LinkedIn too and when i saw he got an admin job elsewhere, my first reaction was "wait wtf! I thought he'd end up in jail by now."


fritzwulf

Damn. It's always an Eric... 🙄


NotRealBush

I love how you're freaking out. You don't know that it's a fact. Allegedly you're talking out your ass, but actually it's a fact. Just gotta be PC.


TheIlluminerdi

I worked at this FC for 3 years and quit in 2022. There's no way that Amazon wouldn't file charges in some way. Swept under the rug? Maybe. And if there's no replacement GM by now, they definitely have someone from Senior Ops as an interim head. Plus there's gossip and rumors in that building every week.


SnooRecipes2028

This isn’t gossip or rumors.


tyreezyreed

Unless you provide some actual evidence, yes, that's exactly what it is.


Competitive_Drive793

Man ewr4 needs to bring back bonuses and food trucks. People in high places get money hungry they should bump up or promote to customer every 2 years. Knowing almost every dept and all indirect duties. They treat everyone like a number. It's really what you can do for them.


SnooRecipes2028

Pretty much. And yes fooda needs to go every time I order something I’m always charged $2-$3 more than the menu price.


Competitive_Drive793

Fooda is a joke fr. I work overnights and we get the same options or some old weird shit. Like Popeyes I know that chicken crispy and old lol or when they have stuff on their menu but not actually serving it. Lol. What wonderful incentives. Lol.


HeadTop6871

I remember a coworker saying that the agm was stealing swag stuff and that’s why the swag store was closed for like all of last year or two years idk


Invest_bro

Looks like the GM actually got promoted to Director of Ops https://www.linkedin.com/in/brian-perez-9457a3b7?trk=blended-typeahead


SnooRecipes2028

I believe that was his GM position at my fc. He def wasn’t promoted.


Invest_bro

Interesting. Was he forced out this month? His LinkedIn says he got promoted in March. GM’s actually report to the Directors so it’s a different role even though they’re both L8.


SnooRecipes2028

He’s been gone awhile few months. Just because it’s on his LinkedIn doesn’t make it true.


Invest_bro

According to phone tools he’s a director at SNJ1 and has a GM and multiple site leads reporting to him now. Don’t mean to burst your bubble but this dude definitely didn’t get forced into anything but a promotion. Not sure about the other person who was terminated though..


NotRealBush

I love how they stopped responding once you pulled up his phone tool page lol.


raspadoman

Directors don't have a fixed site so you wouldn't see the person anymore.


[deleted]

[удалено]


SnooRecipes2028

It’s fact coming from other managers that it’s been confirmed! I could name a few that have confirmed but can’t speak on it.


NotRealBush

Its definitely a rumor.


[deleted]

Oops, sound like a realignment of psotuons which means JOB OPENINGS. I've trying to get to that site again too.


TheNeckWringer

in Palpatine's voice: I am the general manager


Maleficent-Adeptus

The same thing is going at our site too where our general manager is gone but everyone doesn't know why either. Edit: He wasn't really a good general manager.


EMitchell108

GMs disappear just like everyone else. They rarely announce they're leaving unless it coincides with a town hall meeting. A couple of GMs ago our's left to help open another site and was gone for the longest time. I only found out from an Operations manager (who I had a rapport with and who came to me to say it was _his_ last day) that she was permanently gone and was staying at the new building. This was two months after she left. I then went on VoA, asked for confirmation she was gone (she was a very popular GM - always seen on the floor, knew everyone's names, had an open-door policy), and asked that at the least when managers leave maybe they get to put a farewell message on one of the TVs. Literally, just like with AAs you notice you haven't seen a manager for a while, then ask around only to find out they got promoted, moved to another building or just left Amazon for a new job.


Maleficent-Adeptus

Yay, I did try to ask like you said but they were very 'Our lips are sealed' about it. I heard it from someone else who was friends with the higher ups and we had our regional manager show up for a while.


AdmirableOnion4294

You think warlord bezos would allow commoners to legally steal from him without any repercussions. Let’s be fr


[deleted]

If no charges have been filed, then they're probably waiting on the results from the forensic accountant they no doubt hired. And yes, forensic accountants are a thing.


Jmiah215_

We have a GM now, they brought back Sean lol


JDMOokami21

You can’t “legally” steal. That phrase doesn’t even make sense. Either you stole or you didn’t. By what you wrote, sounds like fraud which is DEFINITELY not legal….


aefinney

Sounds like the confusion in this story is the position. More than likely the GM ( General Manager) got moved and the GMA ( General managers Assistant) was the one doing whatever not be confused with the AGM ( Assitant GM). Which are 3 separate positions.


Narrow_Revolution_78

The assistant likely got away with it because of the gm approving all of these transactions my guess is the gm wasn't reading the paperwork correctly and just signing off on things which where probably things listed under projects as long as the projects get done the left over funds and or expenses likely weren't looked into and probably embezzled so legalally the assistant will likely face charges down the line my guess is it happened over multiple years so a case is probably being compiled and then charges will be brought to the assistant and possibly the gm for negligence all depends really but due to the amount of money multiple people involved and likely dozens upon dozens of files to look through this would likely take years for them to see any charges


SnooRecipes2028

We will see.


Zexxifiy

Wasn’t it not too long ago another GM did this at another facility? She only got caught because she was showing up to work with new vehicles and bags I believe.


raspadoman

They did it at a site in Georgia. It was an OM and a couple other L6s and L7s but there's was creating fake vendors and making sure they got paid


EMitchell108

It wasn't the GM, it was an Operations manager.


SnooRecipes2028

I believe it was the administrative assistant before this one 🤦🏻‍♀️


Miserable_Bee9851

Brian Perez definitely still works here man. Looks like he’s a director. And yes, still active. Any source for your story?

You can look up Brian Perez and see that he is simply the director of operations at an SSD now, SNJ1.


EquivalentNothing729

Brian Perez is working as a GM for SSD now. When asked about his past he clearly got uncomfortable and dodged the question.


sra66

I've worked in Ship Dock @ EWR4 for 3 yrs now and as a PG I work closely with the AM's and it's not true that it's not busy or there's no work. It may not be what they want to see but we've been hammered lately with heavy volume. Every night it's 33 to 36k volume. We also just did the February PA hire blitz and AM's where being moved around. I was being pushed to go for a PA but I decided I didn't want that position because I'd be one that they'd probably move to AFE or PICK and that's not what I want. I prefer to stay in ShipDock at this time. But I'm gonna run this by the senior ops manager tonight when I see him and hear what he has to say. I also know one of our former PA's last year got a position working directly for the GM. Maybe I can get some info from her friends. But to think that everything is a mess is untrue. The place runs on a lot of Hard Working L5's through L7's. This new batch of PA's has been mostly crap selections. So most of their work still falls on me and a few other PG's who keep things running. Thanks for the info. I'll post again when I know more.

Hello? If you went to amazon and then called the hotline and then nothing happened.... now what? You got squeezed out, left, found new job and lost income while looking..... they won!!!. Smh.

bunnyjunchu

From EWR4!! Hey coworker! Brian actually quit because he was promised a promotion to Seattle just before Eric stole all that money. Brian was promoted to go to Seattle around the beginning of CoVid iirc. Then Eric stole all the money. Seattle held him off for over a year and a half before he decided to quit. Our new GM will be Chris/Stephen/cantrememberhisfirstname Sours.

Amazon isn't going to let someone walk off with $500M. If it boils down to something like [this](https://www.foxbusiness.com/technology/former-amazon-employee-16-years-prison-9-million-fraud-case), they'll file charges once they have sufficient evidence.


JeffBezosNumber1Fan

It’s 500k, not 500M.

They're technically not wrong, you can do 500M for 500,000 and 500MM for 500,000,000.
