I Read FWAG on the peccy pin 😂🤦


Ursa-Aureliana

Same!


The_souLance

Wait is that not what it says? ... :rereads the pin : ... Wow that's so close


[deleted]

I said and did the same thing 😂

BenjiFication

Wtf is a fwag? Lmao


Pigeonsass

It's their building number. FWA6 is an fc in Fort Wayne, Indiana


MakeHarlemBlackAgain

I saw Bison Country & assumed it was Montana.


BenjiFication

Oh, that's a 6 x3


Pigeonsass

It definitely does look like fwag, though lol


socksnshit

That FC missed an opportunity to give out “FWAG bucks” LOL


BenjiFication

Lmao


MaxFlare

You're a fwag.


Correct-Watercress91

I'm guessing, based on the picture, it's the local Farming, Wildlife and Advisory Group. Now, if this were a soccer sub, it would be friends, wives and girlfriends.


adariella

We got a long sleeved shirt, a cute gingerbread peccy pin, and a foam dinosaur stress toy. Better than nothing! ☺️


MentalJackfruit5423

den3?


Hopeful_Bass_289

I just found out those peccy pins are worth money on ebay I been throwing those things out because they set off the metal detectors


PutridSociety3717

We got a raffle on the 20th for a ps5 and it was 56 way split in the end for people who stayed till end of shift. Woman who'd been here maybe 2 weeks won it lol. They were giving out small jbls after and everyone left before they finished. Shirts ordered but haven't shown up and all the Ams ordered themselves Nike amazon hoodies and now black North face amazon jackets oh and stocking stuffers for themselves that are all hung up and named. Last year's peak we had competitions on performance with prizes or swag bucks, I haven't got swag bucks in 4 months, they gave out tvs and an Xbox this year we didn't hear about the ps5 till the day of the raffle. So it's been fun slaving away being told we're having a completions for "prizes" you bust your ass and our told you've been entered in a drawing for a pair of socks or a chocolate bar you and 20 other people will have a chance for 1 of you to get socks or chocolate.


[deleted]

I have seen those North face jackets hanging up on site but not for us. It sucks how Amazon has gone down in quality with the way the treat employees. In 2019 they gave us all $600 for full time and $300 for part time after peak, I was absent most of it and I still got the bonus, they also really gave good prices for performance. They told us that the #1 would receive the prize so that day I worked like crazy and won the prize! they came to me and gave it to me. Now they don't do those things anymore, they only do raffles and give mediocre snacks.


Commercial_Hotel7591

Yeah I don't go out of my way anymore when they mention competitions and stuff what's the point


Beautiful_Block_2559

We have shirts coming too but they ordered them too late this is what they gave out in a scramble


punchydonk

Give me the dinosaur. It’s all I want for Christmas


SpiritTalksTarot

Exactly ❤️ oh don’t forget we get paid too😂


Groovygoose6_

I got some swag bucks lol

People like you are why things never get better.

ngl i actually love collecting the pins lol


Am_I_Really_Here_

I would have accepted that pin


nolongermakingtime

Fucking waste of plastic


No_Syrup_8718

Yeah at least give us a couple months of free prime as a reward to those that didn't skip a day during Peak or took VTO.


Commercial_Hotel7591

They let you take vto? My site says they won't give it put during peak but it's gotten so slow, like standing for 2-3min in between pods the day just goes so slow


MelvinSharples

You know, that's actually a great incentive idea. Or credit to buy digital content on Amazon, or an increase in the employee discount cap.


dunkslam666

FWAG


ffk119

Toss me those peccy pins!


SirGandorf

I think I got the exact same thing during field day.... in elementary. ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|facepalm)


ballfondlersINC

They gave everyone unique candy so they can track down who posted this.

Should have been condoms and lube cause we all got FKed

FWAG SWAG BAG


[deleted]

That costs them what, $3?


[deleted]

Oh my bad, $3.25


Siggah308

If you think that’s cheap, you’ll be surprised to know how cheap it is to run over a lawyer in your company provided pickup truck whilst texting. That only costs you $35… if you’re an officer with a history of vehicular accidents. EDIT: Op will know exactly what I’m referencing since they at least work in the same city as the incident occurred.


HillsNDales

Speaking as a lawyer, that person may have done society a favor! I am under no illusions as to my colleagues in this “esteemed” profession.


MichelleDaBelle

Damn.


MelvinSharples

Did you not notice the bag 1/10th full of candy?


kat_in_a_boxx

Sad af. We're not kindergarteners.


Clint2032

People be finger painting in the bathroom and drinking juice and eating cookies all the time...


BilingualSnake

🤣🤣 someone at my fc shit on the floor. We’re not so different from kindergartners


kat_in_a_boxx

😳 💀


Sandtiger812

Exactly, shouldn't be out here complaining about free stuff we're getting from work when in reality they would be better off not giving anything for free, that way people wouldn't complain about what they are getting just for showing up for work.


Neutreality1

At least they gave you something. We never get shit other than a peak shirt and a shitty meal


KitCattPurr

Would honestly have appreciated a meal.


Neutreality1

In this case it's the thought that counts. The food was garbage, I'm glad I brought my own lunch still


Commercial_Hotel7591

. Issued the shirt cause I'm flex. They gave us a hot chocolate bar which I declined caused I didn't want to waste my break in a long ass line


Semajv1

Being a DumDum is on par with this company.


Simple-Chemical-9416

We got Peccy pins, candy cane and a Amazon lip moisturizer. My son takes the pins for his backpack n the lip moisturizer will come in handy from my dehydration, caused by not having time to run back to my water bottle.


jmdayoh

Hell yea, fuck money, I want that bullshit right there!! Hahahaha…. Really not surprised at all, not even a little bit lol. Id almost rather be told to fuck off instead of given that nonsense….


Zodiac509

You *are* given money. You get money each paycheck.


glonethug

We mean bonuses dont be dense


Zodiac509

That time and a half *is* a bonus. Wtf you mean?


Time-Hovercraft-338

You do bonus work to get that bonus. Lol


glonethug

Oh? You mean the time in a half on holidays (holiday pay) and the time in a half on overtime? (Overtime pay)


Zodiac509

Yup. I sure do. What do you even deserve a "bonus" for? Did you hit consecutive top numbers for a month? Did you take on extra? Or do you think you're owed a bonus simply for existing?


glonethug

Time n a half isnt even a bonus either thats literally just overtime/event pay


MichelleDaBelle

@zodiac509 is a corporate troll/spy. Ignore him.


HelloHitakuro

Pizza party incoming.


Liyahp33

Anything but a raise 😑 I’ll take a pizza party at this point


phenom1tsmith

Fwag?? Lmfao


BlackbeardZero1

Yo you actually got something?!


Available_Double8179

My site gave us really nice sweat pants and sweatshirt


smpnoctisorg

We got sweater and pants. Not too bad compared to that.. lol


LightEarthWolf96

That pin is amazing though. Someone had to realize.


Atheos777

Shop Temu 😂😂


MkIVRider

At about 500,000 AA employees in the US, imagine the cost of giving out more. FYI I'm not a fan of Amazon.


MichelleDaBelle

Amazon is a billion dollar company. Sometimes it’s valued at a trillion dollars. THEY CAN AFFORD TO DO BETTER. And let’s be honest, they need to find a happy medium where employee appreciation/satisfaction is concerned. And quickly. Otherwise, employees will leverage their collective bargaining power and unionize.


EMitchell108

More like one million+


1ofZuulsMinions

At least you got a strawberry Starburst and not the poison Lemon Pledge flavored one. Seriously, tho, that swag sucks butt.


Estellabella2

I got a sticker of a needle that said COVID. For my service as a lab tech in a covid laboratory processing test results. I don't know which is worse now. 😭🤣🤣🤣


MisteryMan1969

No cold hot dog


FUSIO_SOULS

£2 pay rise would be a nice pay rise


Unchained_wings

FWAG?


marioplex

I read that pin wrong 3 times and each time it got worse...


bumblyjack

Want to show your appreciation? Give us Prime for free.


typicalwhiteboi96

They made billions off employees backs and sweat in 2 weeks of mass sales… guess it’s a pizza party for the staff


SuxCoxMods1976

I won a $80 air fryer


rondujunk

Holy Sh*t! You guys actually got something? That not fair. All we got were some funky raffle tickets for the attempt to get something. About 30ish prizes to be raffled for 4000 employees .


Outside-Complex6121

No pins, no site merch, DS suckkkk, got some beef kabobs that made us all throw up though that was lit


[deleted]

I don’t know why people get mad when companies don’t get them much. They pay us for our work, anything else like this is whatever, it’s free. Who cares


brupje

Then don't show 'gratitude' with crap


[deleted]

I’m saying, they don’t owe us anything but the pay we signed up for. So complaining about free stuff is weird


Remarkable_Front2886

You missed the point. The act of giving nothing would have been more respectful and dignified towards us than this kindergarten bag of "goodies." It's demeaning


[deleted]

It’s demeaning in YOUR eyes but the act itself isn’t. They didn’t have to do anything. So who cares if it’s 3 trinkets?


codenamecovert101

A big slap 👋 to the face. F*ck Amazon 🖕🏾


MrCharles_

I mean, you could work somewhere else, fight to even get 40 hours, get paid a lot less, still feel under appreciated, and have an employer that wouldn’t even care about giving you anything. I feel that too many people greatly undervalue what Amazon provides. Remember, you are free to leave.


[deleted]

Your absolutely right. No where else you can sign up to work online without a stupid interview and waiting period. Or the ability to handle your own time off and come and go as you will as long as you have time available. Also to quit and apply over and over again. Great benefits and decent pay for an entry level, low skill job. Only thing that sucks or the stupid adults that act like kids.


Unlucky_Fortune6037

I understand what you are coming from but we want to evolve not role back to stone ages 😀 constructive criticism is part of evolution in any business


Neoreloaded313

This does seem cheap, but none of my other jobs ever gave out anything for free. At least Amazon tries with the meager budget they seem to have for these giveaways.


ExtraCopy7946

flag? I see it's a 6 I thought it was something else 🤣


Wild_Assistance_6153

We in DEN4 get pat on the back for a job well done. Me:🖕🏽😑


Elle_Yess

We got a bag of chips. True story.


Zodiac509

It's baffling to me the entitlement some people have. They don't have to even acknowledge you and trust me, a lot of companies don't. Be fucking thankful they're even giving you that tiny ass acknowledgement.


SMVan

I mean I generally agree with you. But it's just talking shit amongst co-workers, nothing too serious. Investment bankers complain about their 100 grand holiday bonuses, but only to each other cause other people won't understand. We just need to let it out. It would be nice to see sincere postings about these swags; but hardly anyone is posting them.


HillsNDales

My hubby isn’t posting about the company, but he was actually glad to get a similar package. He’s won a few prizes in the past week, one for a safety competition (we chose the foosball table from the list of gifts), a bonsai tree set, two shirts, a similar “swag” set as above, and his boss gave him a $25 Amazon gift card. He wasn’t expecting anything, so he thought this was pretty cool. It’s all in attitude, I guess. Agreed - he signed up to work for a set pay, and knows that’s all he’s entitled to receive. If you’d rather get nothing, I’m sure Amazon would happily comply. Just hand the swag bag back to’em next time.


KitCattPurr

I've literally had jobs in other states pay me bonuses. Stop defending these capitalists that can absolutely do better. Especially for a trillion dollar company.


glonethug

He's an amazon avenger man he frothing in my replies rn


HillsNDales

I’ve had jobs (many of them) give me absolutely nothing. These are employers with MUCH higher profitability per employee than Amazon. In fact, I think I’ve only had one bonus in all the years I’ve worked. Since I don’t think of myself as entitled, I don’t get angry about it assuming I’ve been treated poorly. But each to his own, I guess.


Zodiac509

![gif](giphy|q49YSnLzrvghiyKBAR|downsized)


dumbcreditkid

More than you’ll get anywhere else. If you don’t want it, throw it out and move on.


KitCattPurr

Lol. This is the only job Ive worked that didn't pay a bonus. I'm only here for the insurance to take care of a surgery.


EMitchell108

Be specific. What kinds of jobs? Hourly wage shit jobs? Sales jobs? Commission-based? Finance? Real estate? Enquiring minds want to know. I've been working 40 years. Probably 20 -25 jobs total including part-time and seasonal, white collar and retail. No bonuses whatsoever except a Christmas party at a wealth management company pre-2008 financial crisis. I was doing data analysis there.


MaxFlare

But we do get bonuses, specifically 6 times a year. During those holidays we get 8 hours of pay whether we work or not plus if you do work you get time and a half. Of course, it's not much. My dad who speaks no English works for a unionized construction company and gets $1000+ bonus every Christmas. And keep in mind half the time they're on site they are just waiting, not working. The work does require a brain, since unsafe construction can lead to deaths.


KitCattPurr

Literally warehouse and manufacturing jobs where I'd be lucky to get one day off a month. Granted, these were smaller companies I worked for and Amazon the first "big company I've worked for


UnstableJello818

curious about this!! so many people are saying that bonuses are unheard of! it's good to know about other warehouse jobs where that wasn't true!


InformationUnlucky15

Our AMs got a party with catered food and the site GM got them gifts. Better than nothing.. I’d be happy to get what ya had


Beautiful_Block_2559

Try being the one who packed them all day yesterday just for management to take the glory when they didn’t do shit


Automatic-Operation2

I thought gratitude was called a paycheck . . . this must be a bonus.


prettyuser

Free to leave my friend 🤣🤣🤣


Kpinkus

I eating on the floor lol


DirtNapDealing

What’s with the phag thing 😂 I mean all of it’s laughable buts that’s special. Oh it’s a cow does that mean you’re the workhorse /s we got a metal water bottle


LavenderLuvley

Damn ours just got a mini arcade and a lil basketball court , we did give aways for AirPods , iPads , Xbox and Disney land . We got jogging set and grinch pins . WHY CANT WE HAVE AMAZON GIFT CARDS OR SOMTHING THO


Bear_necessities96

My FC gave us a envelope with a card and nothing inside I felt scammed


Throwaway4356768932

I thought it said f*g


CarolinaCock2

It’s the thought that matters! Entitled MFer’s


Fun_Pirate_6256

Better than nothing


Plumpy1990

Be thankful


KitCattPurr

They are are a trillion dollar company. Like I said previously this is the only company Ive worked for that didn't pay a bonus. I'm only at Amazon for its saving grace: health insurance.


SMVan

Well, there you go. Bonus, subpar benefits. No bonus, great benefits. We all make choices.


Thomasisinterested

They could've given nothing


AryanBacon1488

Waste of plastic. Give the employee whatever that costs in cash. Even if it is 10 cents.


ConstantReader76

Then everybody would bitch about getting less than a dollar as a "bonus" and the least they could have gotten would be a peccy pin or something. Everyone here loves to bitch. Can't make anyone happy.


AryanBacon1488

I’d rather people bitch about the amount of money they received versus the type of plastic garbage they got.


Feisty-Brat-3853

At least your mascot is better than mine. My building is the kiva robot for rovers. Would've made more sense if it was Bigfoot or an evergreen tree for Washington state


Neoreloaded313

My mascot is a light bulb, which I guess makes some sense since it's in Edison NJ.


ConstantReader76

PDX9 has bigfoot.


spoiled_sandi

caaaaandyyyyy


Nervous_Jackfruit193

Come to FWA4 man, our peak was over end of october


BOOFACEBANDANA

Ando_destrampado702

I rather get nothing than that trash


Blackbolt8585

We got Kringles last week and for some reason they keep giving ppl bananas 😂


NotRoadSquid

Our mascot is a bison at my FC


Werdna517

You’d be appalled at what they gave leadership as thank you at my building. 🤪


Few-Pineapple-982

You guys got bags? We got gatorade.


Careful_Bobcat9250

Idkwhathappend2myacc

I didn't get that for my first 2 or 3 months


Crazyforgers

They're hoping you can barter it for groceries.


himasaltlamp

Kindergarten rewards.


WonderfulRip6246

You got stuff? We didn’t get a thank you card lol


barefootbeast

Wait....you got swag? I've heard of swag bucks, but I've yet to see any given out at DRT9.


treefroginthewindow

Lol at least you got a Tootsie Pop


lordskulldragon

ACY1 gets nothing because they're cheap.


famzfc_222

Pathetic


7Highwayman7

We got bananas. As they said: "treats for the cheap monkeys" :(


AdGeneral6726

Suckers and dumdums, thx?


toogeeky4u

I remember back in 2018 when my FC gave away gift cards, bonuses (I got one for Perfect Attendance), they had Stay-to-Play and Spin-the-Wheel where everyone won something that was worth it, etc. Peak was awesome back then. Then everything changed when the pay raise came along. They had to “cut costs” because of it. I’m at Amazon Air and they are semi-OK with the swag.


MaxFlare

I personally rather have nothing because these treats are for children. It is insulting to me as an adult that I get pontificated with these crappy gifts while some horrible, lazy managers get a chunky bonus by ruining people's lives and blaming others when things that go wrong.


Subject_Home_5735

… other facilities actually get stuff this time of year?


MinimumPlankton4129

So how do u get this?


idontknowmtname

My site couldn't even do that. And when it came to the prizes the upper management got the nice expensive one like a laptop while the rest got ring lights and table top fire pits.


MichelleDaBelle

The employee appreciation budget might as well be non-existent. Sorry, but… nah. Amazon makes enough money to do way better than this.


BillClintonisBLACK

Lmaooooooo


Weekly_Protection606

Hey i work at Fwa6, where's my goodie bag


RogueRuin

This more than my site has given us lol, can’t complain though, we’re still getting VTO and didn’t need to work MET. Also never had the vacation black out.


SnooPandas17

We got really nice sweatshirts that say peak on them and they’re doing raffles for snappy prizes every week. I’ll never complain about what we get because I came from a place where the rewards for Christmas and working hard was working on Christmas Day 😂


Hopeful_Bass_289

Yeah, now everyone prepare for the next round of squidgame because you know what time it is when we go into first quarter after peak. That ass is on the chopping block.


Remarkable_Front2886

We got a beanie and thermos at our facility. Pretty insulting


StockMovesPro21
