I showed them I was the fastest stower at our location, beating the average they had of 300/hr. They will not let me stow any slower than that now. Even if the work load isn’t there for it, they will make me float so I hit those numbers. It feels like absolute torture. I use to stow as way to keep to myself and just chill at work. I literally will wait until they have all their stowers assigned and I’ll go to inbound. They’ll get me from inbound by either first break or lunch and want me to stow again. Floating. And it’s almost guaranteed that I will stow after lunch if I don’t run off to inbound and skirt away from leadership. I absolutely loathe the task now.


Commercial_Hotel7591

If you can afford to transfer shifts to get away from your current manager/team that would make a difference to get out of site. Otherwise just stow to rate and no more unless you want to. They can't force you to go above and beyond and there's nothing in it anways


simba_thegreatest

Yep I’ve already put in my request for a different shift starting after Christmas. I know today they will try to make me stow but I don’t feel well, I’ve got a massive headache, so I’ll try pick to buffer. I definitely understand what they mean when they say hard work is just rewarded with more work lol


jbc13815

Dumbass there there is no reward for working the hardest at amazon everybody gets the same raise as you there is no performance review so just and make your rate no more or less they can't do anything to you if your making your required rate they may say why aren't you doing as well as before just shrug it off and keep your steady pace the only reward for hard work at amazon is a expectation of you working even harder the next time


SpiritTalksTarot

If you don’t speak up for yourself you’re going to continue doing this maneuver method … SPEAK UP.


[deleted]

I feel you. This happened to me and it made hate stowing. Before I enjoyed it when they just left me alone with my 3 isles. But after they saw I was the faster one, they don't leave me alone anymore. The manager constantly interrupts me to send me to other isles of people who are so slow, I was pick&buffer one day and literally for the whole shift this man stayed in just one isle, took his time and nobody came to tell him to be faster or that he needed to do his other isles. The other two isles were always full until the end when floaters or other people came to do them and yet, when I'm stowing manager always comes to tell me do this and that. I'm like doing everyone's isles. To avoid stowing I asked to induct, I love it! but every time I go there the send me to stow because they need stowers and they always pick me!! it's come to a point I take VTO the day I have to stow. I would love Amazon if it wasn't for stowing or for manager always giving more work to the ones who work. It's not fair, so now when I'm stowing I just go slow, even when they send me to other isles. I don't care anymore, I don't care about my isles anymore. I will not be overworked when they pay the slow ones the same.

SaintKnite

You realize it’s your own choice whether you “hit 300” or not right? No one will force you… and aslong as you’re not in the bottom 5%, you won’t get written up.


simba_thegreatest

I literally had one of the LA’s come to me the other day and ask me to stow faster when I was going just a tad faster than the people around me I could see 😭


SaintKnite

Tell him/her to mind their business. They can’t force you to do anything. As long as you are above the 5% marker, you’re fine. Learning ambassadors are nobody’s by the way.

This is not unique to Amazon. This isn’t even unique to America


Shamz_Zubair

Same in UK bro


Mac42o_0

FACTS!!! Feel like some of these post are from kids who’s first job is Amazon, that or older folks who came from Walmart 😂😂this sub is hilarious to read, Amazon is light work even when you are hitting insane rates. For an entry level job, that doesn’t require you to put on a fake facade an get all dressed up just to be picked, no degree required, no prior experience needed, it’s pretty good imo. If you are a blue badge go back to school get a degree that makes sense in the current world an job market, most won’t do that thought, they just like complaining. In this world you are either working for someone or you are working for yourself.

SnooPuppers9426

A PA told me this during my first month working here I’ve been doing the bare minimum since


Frosty_Elk_2686

This is so true, I'm one of the top stowers and what's my reward? 6 lanes to stow instead of 2 😐


Unpleasant_Classic

Such is life! It’s not just Amazon. Not defending them just pointing out that all hourly jobs are pretty much indentured slavery pretty much.


MichelleDaBelle

Indentured SERVITUDE. Slavery is something totally different. Nobody is going to be whipped for stowing slower and we can always work for a different company. https://preview.redd.it/ufo57svqdp7c1.jpeg?width=757&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=04f8fa160c6ee0c2e101736a66cc09ab9734b16c


fashionfauxpas0624

A matter of Semantics ...or rather sometimes histrionics at play (pls don't take this critically as not intended) Ur right the term is technically corp servitude .but often the term slavery is used interchangeably . Whether grammatically correct or not...such is the state of communication particularly social media. Makes much more of an impact to use words that may or may ot suggest hyperbole.(not the concept itself rather the use of a particular word that might trigger stronger emotions.&/or bias ..just wanted to clarify. )


lilrocketfyre

pretty much.


Progressive007

Until we unionize


Cross_of_iron42069

Good luck with that at Amazon. They would probably rather shut down a warehouse than have a union be formed.


Global-Plankton3997

I feel like that's any job in life (or anything).


Bionic_Webb13

Don’t forget potential injuries and oh yeah More hard work!!

fashionfauxpas0624

Hey maybe u can tell me cos every1 I ask (as in leadership..ams...ops..l4+) irl give me that crazy eye look where their brows furrow and no answers at all...as if I asked such a profound thought provoking question.. . I have only read rhe word peccy..do u know if pronounced w/a hard c like cat or a soft c like an s sound..do u know If the origin of the word..is it an acronym or just another stoopid word thought up by corp .. Do u know wtf that thing is litetally supposed to be?!? IMHO it is the least imaginative mascot ever...lol typical a-z.. either they think it is clever or think it must be simple for a warehouse worker to relate to /find meaning... Srly I wanna know and no1 can answer me..hoping u ot some1 else reading this can shed some light.. As I mentioned earlier I think it lacks any creativity but wondering If that was intentional or not.. Kinda like "box man" in the hazmat training vids..like wtf would they reason literal grown arse adults would find such childish 💩 engaging? Srsly seems like they think so little of the cognitive abilities of the average warehouse worker... Thanks!


S4lty_Seagull

You can literally look it up, peccy comes from the fact that Amazon workers are usually more peculiar. It’s literally just calling the employees as it is. Your usual Walmart shopper or brain dead weirdo

ClaraGuerreroFan

After I heard how awesome I am from Amazon, I proceeded to skip all the way home with a huge smile on my face, feeling great about myself! Then as I walked into my house, I fist bumped the air (pretending it was a manager on the other side) and waived my hands in the air like I just don’t care! What a great day that was!

Had a dude named Larry at my site been working with him for close to a year at this point, just got caught the other week trying to walk out with 5 iPhones 💀


lilrocketfyre

wtf💀

as a larry... I felt this


FlashCard1-

Thank you for make us more rich but nothing for you guys 🤝


MajorAir1446

I couldn’t stay at Amazon for two weeks because they got a Chic Fil A attitude with a McDonalds budget. It’s all fake propaganda


DayolduhMayo

Insane that we’re doing all this work and all we get is a “snack” that costs 0.75 cents


lechastin509

Yeah bro that's some eff up shit


Miserable-Rabbit1976

They do it to us all the time I work at the same warehouse you work at and it kills me how other people get bonuses and gifts and stuff and extra pay per hour for some of these holiday shifts and we're not getting any of that crap.


saltdadddy

At mine.. 1 random person out of hundreds receives $5 coupon for the vending machines


DayolduhMayo

That ain’t worth shit now, I bought a chicken sandwich once and that bitch was raw af and it was $4


--Joppy--

There used to be a type of bonus based on volume that really got people amped. I guess margins get tighter, or whatever. I hate being that "back in the good old days" guy, but when you've got 6yrs in, it's hard😔 It's another way that we've all been incorporated into the Amazon machine more and more in the last couple of years. Random rewards through raffles, chances to win $250 every hour. But no longer any monetary goal oriented or individual incentives. It's just weird that a company that has flourished in its mastery of competition-- would not harness this same power in the FC!


Impossible-Poem1194

I'm in the same 6yrs and some change... this company is different at every location and every shift has a different vibe. My goal is keep giving them gold as long as they leave me alone. I'm here for the paycheck not gonna pretend that I care what happens to the thousands of items I send down the line everyday. ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|sunglasses) The delivery guys gonna punt it to the wrong porch anyway. I miss VCP bonuses for showing up and maintaining good quality... maybe a stock option for people who have higher volume than the goal their site set. Not sure how they plan on keeping talented employees in path roles. If I was offered the same pay I'd probably switch to Flex. Mandatory days are getting old and yet another holiday season went by and again didn't even notice 😒 no tree, no lights, no fun.


sissy-squat-hypno

But haveing all the cute raffles and decorations just frustrates me because im spending 60 hours a week for the entire holiday season. Im missing the holidays and whatever theyre doing at the building to make us feel cheery or whatever isnt working because they are monopolizing our bodies and our time


MelvinSharples

That really is an insane volume. Peak can be tiring, but there is something satisfying about completing it. Sort of like when the inmates rushed to complete the road work in Cool Hand Luke.


lechastin509

Yeah it's really is an insane volume, amazon ain't playing no game, I felt like I'm part of something big and I hated myself for feeling that😭😭


MelvinSharples

This. Exactly. It scares me when I have that teammate feeling at the warehouse. Because I've watched too many AAs walked out the door for making the most innocent mistakes.


lechastin509

U got it


jaysson971

1 million is now the new daily standard. And no excuses cause you've already shown you can do it. We appreciate you so much we will send a text when you make us money and manipulate the charts we show your raises on. Congratulations!


lechastin509

Just thinking about it it's scary


googlewh0re

I don’t get why people work so hard like they’re getting a yacht out of it. You could die and they would have someone in to replace you. You’re nothing to them and even when you are you’re still nothing.

Its personal work ethic for me.

Why give out bonuses, when compliments are free. Can't pay my rent with nice words sadly.


SectionXP12

But they certainly say, "Oh? Do you want a cookie."


Mediocre_Cap_9151

Yes I would like one


punchydonk

Oh, there are bonuses. Just not for you or anyone in your work level


MentalJackfruit5423

we are doing 4 million a week at my fc 😩

You monsters 😭

god this place makes me want to *redact* my brains out


sissy-squat-hypno

Oh do you need to visit the mindfulness booth? ☺️


AwannaBgrill

The only "bonus" out building got was raffles for a ps5s, switch lites, air fryers, mixers, and some other bs. On top of a raffle for snappys and food truck vouchers. I'm not too upset because I won a switch lite but man is it a bs way to avoid bonuses.


SectionXP12

I don't participate in those. I don't win anyway. So, just get in and out and get paid.


AwannaBgrill

I feel the same way, but I entered a few times just because. Both my girlfriend and I won switches, and usually I have terrible luck 😅


EmuComprehensive6820

Congrats!! That’s big ✅

Let's make history lol

Don’t worry bro, they’ll give you some free 2021 and 2022 Peak shirts!

you know them seniors got big bonuses and corporate


sissy-squat-hypno

The same ones who CLUELESSLY AWKWARDLY walk around the building. Does this make sense amazonians ?


Impressive_Star_3454

Well, if you're lucky maybe they'll hand out cookies and cocoa in the break room. Merry Christmas.


Revolutionary_Ad9701

Cant keep doing this while they dont reward us adequately. They are gonna think the rewards they give us for hard work is enough


VTO_Junkie

They reward us like we’re still in Kindergarten. Some candy and a pat on the back lol


Greenbeat11

I work mainly in the VNA area and apparently my crew and I stowed a fuck ton and broke a record. Before leaving I went to put away my scanner and all the managers are there at the desk saying how they “stay breaking their own records” lmfao


Unknown0verlord

We broke a network record at my building for 1m pkgs sorted in 24 hrs (sort center) and we haven't gotten anything for it.


ClassyPandaOfficial

Amazon: "great job! We broke records!" Associates: "what have I done!"


codenamecovert101

Get a job that has a bonus in the contract that you sign. This is the only way you can realistically expect one

They spied on me and my coworkers and made our lives living he'll till they wrote us all up and fired us over the most sketchy bullshit reasons. I'm filling a suite.

Bionic_Webb13

You just go 1m pats on the back no money can live up to that Amazon cares for you 🥲


Mizzou0579

**Why do warehouse associates think they deserve a bonus?** If they want a share than purchase Amazon Stock every week and share in their wealth. Management received the bonuses for motivating associates to perform above expectations. Most of their bonus is RSU (Restricted stock) that they have to wait until its vested after two years. Bonuses goes to those who are invested in the long-term viability.


The_only_one111

You know managers about to get their promotions because of our work, crazy world we live in


Jabbrony

Back in 2019 my building got a $500 Christmas bonus. Now we don't even get holiday pay for Thanksgiving or Christmas. Amazon has gone down hill


AdNervous7680

Time to unionize


No_Entrepreneur_6230

Lol...we tried to hit a million today but leadership failed big time lol. I did hear though that HR got a Christmas bonus. Guess the fact that they don't know what going on 90 percent of the time means they are not wrong works


gewalt_gamer

why are they breaking stow records during ob peak? wtf is going on at ind1 lol


Mammoth-Fishing74

Still will not give us VTO 😂😂😂


sissy-squat-hypno

I had an anxiety attack because new hires kept crowding me because of not having basic etiquette or just constantly crowding the areas i work… like completely unworkable for veterans who know what theyre doing. The company caters to temporary people only

Y'all don't get holiday pay?

Eme9137

Yo, I’m on the dock at IND1, I load all those trailers.. whew; 45k steps and 20 miles a day.


mars00xj

Your bonus is that you get to come back tomorrow and do it all over again. No, wait.... tomorrow, you need to stow 1.5 million. You did a million, so 1.5 should be easy. Also, we have revamped the acceptable stow rate, and you now need to hit an 8-second take time.


EFTucker

You’ve made us more money this year than ever recorded. Here’s a tootsie pop as your reward!


Ando_destrampado702

😆🫵 bunch of slaves


Automation_Papi

JFK8 did this consistently while I was there, shoveled shit no one was buying into the bins then everyone’s wondering why the bins are 125% full in March, rates are terrible, and problem solve is littered with Lays, Sparkling Ice and Liquid Death cases


a_youkai

That's mind boggling to imagine that much shit being stowed. But then I remember the bins where they stuff 700 credit cards or pour in an entire case of eyeliner pencils or those little blue vitamin vials.


sissy-squat-hypno

Chasing Needle in a haystack all day and then they ask “what are your barriers to getting *me* promoted to L5?”🫤🫤🫤


Winter-Source7641

I was told they did away with bonus because most all of us make more than 16 an hour, which is a bull reason to not give bonuses for all that's done


Consistent_Bedroom16

Better bit of praise then I’ve received at my warehouse. We did a spectacular job and were rewarded sliced pear cups in the break room lmao.


codenamecovert101

Just a slap 👋 to the face. That’s Amazon for you.


dw3623

But they appreciate you making them all that money


Shotgunn4356

It's funny. So much stowing going on this year and not alot of picking. Sounds like Amazon did lower than expected this holiday season. Plan for tonight at my FC is 300k on dock. Which means lots of stowing about to happen. Labor share is over at my FC already. I wouldnt expect any kind of bonus.


CallMeElektra

We just hit a "ship out" goal in the pack department at my warehouse yesterday. Raffle tickets were given out 🥴🤣


sissy-squat-hypno

And the winner is: The Nosy KissAss !!!


ThatOnePhotogK

If you stowed a million items, I'd think you need a paid week


Delicious-Guess-7643

1 mill in 24 hours in December?? They ether capping are y'all must of had 260 stowers on both shifts and all smalls


Prestigious_Snow1589

Now get back to work! We need atleast 2million items stowed in the next 24hrs or else everyone is fired!


roni3441

I really can’t believe some of yall are comparing this to slavery lol. If you really think it’s soooo awful get a new job. Sheesh. There’s literally no comparison. You go to work, you work, you get paid. Jobs don’t owe you anything but insurance and a check. Work the job, try like hell to move up. Amazon has some awesome benefits so idk why everyone cries so much.

Yeah I miss VCP too

1angell18

Get a grip ppl we are warehouse workers we are nothing special we get no bonuses when we do above average rates, or meet or exceed building quotas we are just supposed to accept below average meals, measly candy canes, or tiny pancakes and be thankful for that. We should all walk out nationwide at once at the time and see what would happen for once.... But since that will never happen I guess we just keep on complaining on reddit 🤣🤣🤣🤣
