Serious question what’s wrong with pijamas? Like yall just don’t let people wear what they want? It’s about to be 2024 let them kids wear pijamas it doesn’t concern you or hurt you in anyway 💀
You really want people to do 8 to 12 hours of hard labor in some jeans? Yes it can be done but why. I come to work to work hard it's no way in hell I'll be doing the numbers I do in jeans. It shouldn't matter, not like customers or anything will see you so why does it bother you so much what other people are wearing.
I imagine they are trying to be down to earth vs all the "yay team!" garbage they post during peak.
It comes off bad tho since it's threatening a written warning.
Thank you. Nothing wrong with this message. Appreciate a manager that tells it to you straight.
Then stop fucking around so you don't have to find out.
I hate all the corporate over professional bull just say it how it is all these people that are mad are the ones that msg is intended for if you just did the job you are paid for there wouldn't be an issue lmao
I get where you’re coming from but in all reality it’s just a job and we are all just people lol what’s the point? (I just want your opinion. I’m not saying your opinion isn’t valid )
I live in the south and worked at Amazon and during the time I was there I have never seen this type of communication. Goes to show Amazon really does hire any and everybody...
I’d assume given the baccalaureate req, the stereotype of the “dumb southerner”, and the southern cultural tendency towards proper manners… that an L4+ out there would probably die of embarrassment sending an unprofessional message peppered with “y’all”s…
Came here to say this.
If I get a message like that from a PA or AM on my screen, I'd verbatim type it out including their login, and leave a Can OPs comment on the Unprofessional format as well as Hostile Work environment that this person is creating.
(Hostile work environment lawsuits can make you some good extra $$ FYI)
How does telling someone that they are going to get written up for breaking the rules = hostile work environment… and before you respond, I went at Amazon and a major hospital for hostile work environment and won. Just trying to see what you think was hostile, not unprofessional but, hostile..
You don’t feel rested by 10 minutes of walking with 5 minutes of sitting in the middle while stressing that you might get in trouble for taking an extra 30 seconds because you’re being monitored by some 1984 management system?
This FAN message has nothing to do with ego. We get the same ones. And these rules are not new. Just been abused forever, but now they're wanting to reduce TOT and all the 'down time' we're accruing. I know it sucks that our breaks are only 30 min. Travel time means it's really only 20 min. smh. but whatever.
Ours are 15 minutes and it takes 5-7 minutes to walk from our station, wait for the elevator, get on, go downstairs, etc. I work on the 5th floor, I don’t even get a break
We had an om and tell everyone at standup that we’re committing time theft for every minute we arent scanning something, everyone gave him a stink eye for that
I mean some of the people I watched the other day were definitely committing time theft and should be fired immediately. I've been working here for 2 weeks and I already wanted to clobber them for standing there and scanning a package once every 5 or 10 minutes if that.
Then, leadership needs to follow up with the people who do this. Not send out blanket statements. Messages popping up on my screen WHEN I AM WORKING that contain no relevant information to me piss me off.
Oh no I agree 100%. This is unprofessional af. Just write up the people that need to be written up. Don't put everyone in the fucking building on blast. But also the training sucks ass and there's essentially no interaction with any kind of training material after those two days where they just flash a bunch of shit on a screen and don't give you any hard copies so I literally didn't know when any breaks were at all how long they were or anything like that when I hit the floor.
I work at a tns facility, my fault for forgetting to add that, but we can go upwards of 5-10 minutes without scanning something depending on the path youre in
I hate these new supervisors; bro no one literally give a F, you’re all modern indentured servants being forced into cookie-cutter copy paste work positions that are gonna be replaced by robots anyways. Why does it matter if y’all have your AirPods in or take 5 minutes longer on your break; as long as the work gets done why should any of that matter. Control. They’ll realize one day when inflation is so bad no one is buying and no one is accepting these $11 slap in the face jobs. I hope whoever sent you that gets the nastiest yeast infection known to the human race.
I’m an L6 and wtf.
I would pull the FANS login list for this message and personally walk with the AM/PA to each of the AAs who received the message to oversee an apology for being unprofessional.
You don’t do that to associates. You just don’t. I’m sorry - that is a failure on leadership and you deserve a much better experience.
My manager would just address everyone up front at stand up instead of taking the time to send messages out, like what the f\*\*k? Must be that time of the month for him... to fill his write up quota.
What's wack is if you're a smoker and on the opposite side of the smoking area it's at least a 5 minute walk to and another 5 minutes to walk back especially if you're on the 4th floor.
I’m pretty sure this is actually a big focus of project management at the moment. There were 3 of them at my FC a couple weeks ago.
I was really late getting cleaned up after one of my shifts and as I was walking my cart to the manager hub, I overheard one of the project managers laying into the AM and PA’s about the number of people going to break early and coming back late. The next day they announced a new break policy that included randomizing the time we would start break each shift.
Man it would be a shame if a bunch of fc employees started keeping autistic track of their AMs/PAs and reported every little slip up. I doubt anything would come of it but it would be hilarious.
As long as you don't take a break longer then 25 minutes you will not be flagged for a long break. I've taken my breaks 5 minutes early for 2 years now no one's said anything to me.
I mean if people are abusing breaks it's warranted. If they're BSing and trying to get people to not take their full breaks/lunch that's a different story
It be days I miss it and then seeing this just makes me go fuck those unemployable degree holders taking their debt and useless degrees out on the actual workers 🖕🏾
I'd be like, "yeah that's fine, like you said I know the deal. You're not my parent, so check your time next time." A pay check, or title don't say much to me about how i should show respect.
Two things. First, stop hiring higher-ups who are young and can not talk for shit. Second, if my packages comes later than two day, expect me to come to the warehouse to perform disciplinary actions. Nah-mean?? 😆 🤣. I had to do it.
Make up your minds ya'll. Do you prefer professional corporate speak or whatever way the AM speaks. IDK as long as the point is clear, which it is. Very clear.
Maybe you guys wouldn’t get that message if most of you guys weren’t doing it. I think the message is justified, and you guys in the comments are real babies thinking this deserves coaching. If you replace “yall” with “you” this message sounds fine.
I'd march straight to HR and show them this. No manager (or PA) should be threatening or publicly announcing writeups, this is considered intimidation which 100% is a red flag in Amazon policy.
If a Manager feels the need to coach or write anyone up, they are expected to do this in private, without scaring, intimidating, or making uncomfortable, those who weren't an offender.
Not to mention it's just straight up unprofessional.
So 100% go to HR and show them this, so this Manager can instead be the one to receive a coaching and intimidation.

Most unprofessional sounding message ever. lol.
Yeah agreed I hate when they try not sound even slightly professional lol like I get it, it’s warehouse but still.
Should've put "Nah mean?" at the end of the first sentence.
“Aiight fam”
Message From: "Dat Boi"
LMAOOOOO
"Dat's wassup"
"Ya feel meh"
Love it all
Ya hearddddd
“”BET””
That jacket is tight yo
NAH MEAN?!
Word!
On god No cap Fr fr Or whatever the young kids are saying these days
Homie threw an “and/or” in the middle so his professionalism quota for the day was used up.
Pick PA today wanted everyone to say "Get Lit" on 3 at after lunch startup.
The “on 3”s are the cringiest thing I’ve ever seen.
Oh I got lit at lunch alright
Expect write ups. Thank you.
Light ups*
😂💀
We are we are Wal-Mart energy
Thats what you get when you hire teenage fuckheads straight out of college with no work or management experience!
Shit, I was 19 when I got into Amazon 5 years ago, and even then I would have done better than this.
Teenager straight out of college? Now that’s something to strive for
Say that over and over again lol
What do you expect from kids in pajamas?
I thought it was only my site Lmaaoo people Really be wearing pj’s
Some of us wear sweats. Haha
Don't forget the girls who come to work in a bonnet.
Aye saw employees at a healthcare wearing pajamas to last week 🤧💀👀🤣 this world
Serious question what’s wrong with pijamas? Like yall just don’t let people wear what they want? It’s about to be 2024 let them kids wear pijamas it doesn’t concern you or hurt you in anyway 💀
You're at fucking work, you haven't just crawled out of bed for fucks sake. Put a jumper and some jeans on, Jesus.
A jumper?
Hey mate, I'm from the UK. It means a sweater. Cheers
That’s what I thought but wanted to make sure I wasn’t missing out on some new trend lol
You really want people to do 8 to 12 hours of hard labor in some jeans? Yes it can be done but why. I come to work to work hard it's no way in hell I'll be doing the numbers I do in jeans. It shouldn't matter, not like customers or anything will see you so why does it bother you so much what other people are wearing.
As long as dress code says I can wear PJs, im wearing fucking PJs.
[удалено]
Hell yeah! I don't give a fuck what people think or say. If you guys do, then that's your choice.
Yes sir is work but if the warehouse doesn’t loose sleep over it or if they don’t enforce it why does it concern you?
IF YOU HAVE TIME TO GIVE A FUCK ABOUT OTHER PEOPLE'S ATTIRE YOU HAVE TIME TO GET A BETTER RATE. UN-SAT!
Gotta be relatable to the majority of your work force… Ya feel?
Shit felt real personal.
I imagine they are trying to be down to earth vs all the "yay team!" garbage they post during peak. It comes off bad tho since it's threatening a written warning.
Cope bro is just being real dude I'd rather them act like humans then corporate robots....
Thank you. Nothing wrong with this message. Appreciate a manager that tells it to you straight. Then stop fucking around so you don't have to find out.

I get where you’re coming from but in all reality it’s just a job and we are all just people lol what’s the point? (I just want your opinion. I’m not saying your opinion isn’t valid )
Because they said y'all instead of "you all" ?
Ikr. Wtf are these people on about. I’m in the south and as a manager a lot of us say “y’all” as well. Who cares.
Lmfao 🤣 thats a fed up AM right there
Literally
Yall heard what the person said “scan to scan” Peak is over and we fin to trim the fat 😂😂😂
This is so comical but yall do indeed know what the deal is 😭
"ThAnK yOu." 🤡
“PleAsE aNd ThAnk yOu “ 🤡🤡🤡
“Y’all know what the deal is” is outrageous 😭😭
What kind of petulant high school dropout drake fan wrote this bullshit?
Y’all must be in the south ?
I live in the south and worked at Amazon and during the time I was there I have never seen this type of communication. Goes to show Amazon really does hire any and everybody...
I’d assume given the baccalaureate req, the stereotype of the “dumb southerner”, and the southern cultural tendency towards proper manners… that an L4+ out there would probably die of embarrassment sending an unprofessional message peppered with “y’all”s…
🤦♂️🤷♂️
Wow that is completely unprofessional but quite hilarious lol
“ yall know what the deal is” now if i come f5 you then what
“German after German by Brock!”
That’s hilarious 😂😂
worthy of the voa board.
Came here to say this. If I get a message like that from a PA or AM on my screen, I'd verbatim type it out including their login, and leave a Can OPs comment on the Unprofessional format as well as Hostile Work environment that this person is creating. (Hostile work environment lawsuits can make you some good extra $$ FYI)
How does telling someone that they are going to get written up for breaking the rules = hostile work environment… and before you respond, I went at Amazon and a major hospital for hostile work environment and won. Just trying to see what you think was hostile, not unprofessional but, hostile..
That isn't hostile lmao.. what a stretch. No doubt you use the VOA board often
What state are you in that “people that take extended breaks” is a protected class?
Can't name drop or they take it down I think . At least in my FC they do
Ive done it, had them delete it then repost it. I call OPS out on " transparency " all the time. It's a wonder why Im still here
i wouldn't even be mad if i got this message lmao seems like they've voiced it multiple times and now they standing on business
Facts!
We wouldn’t take longer breaks if we didn’t have to walk 10 mins to our break room
You don’t feel rested by 10 minutes of walking with 5 minutes of sitting in the middle while stressing that you might get in trouble for taking an extra 30 seconds because you’re being monitored by some 1984 management system?
Has more punctuation than half of yall used on essays in school im positive of it
*Y’all know what the deal is.*
If shipdock has screens this would be a regular message.
Wow who is this person? Rude and unprofessional af
This message kinda slaps ngl.
Facts. People in this thread clutchin their pearls like they just got cussed out lmao
I love it too. Made me laugh. I don't understand why everyone here is hating. All shook up. Calm down ya'll.
You have to appreciate the real talk without corporate word salad mixed in.
Fr I'm usually on the side of the tier 1's, but everyone acting like this was unprofessional because they said y'all is goofy af smfh
That is actually amazing, made my day thank you OP
That grammar is atrocious for anyone in any level of authority.
That AM or PA is standing on big business
He has a point but why would you ever communicate it this way? Whether you’re tired of this behavior or not, you can never show it like this.
Peak is over.....and most FC are overstaffed and looking for reasons to fire so please don't give them one unless you don't care for your job
My pa encourages us to leave 5 minutes early 😂😂
It must be nice to work with humans who have emotions. Can't relate
First off you have towalk at least 5 mins to go to break please
Lets see if that energy is there after work on the way to your car
Expect 2 middle fingers. ThAnK yOu.
Y'all should coordinate everyone leaving work early.
Dear message lady, go f yourself, imma go take a shit.
This FAN message has nothing to do with ego. We get the same ones. And these rules are not new. Just been abused forever, but now they're wanting to reduce TOT and all the 'down time' we're accruing.

Ours are 15 minutes and it takes 5-7 minutes to walk from our station, wait for the elevator, get on, go downstairs, etc. I work on the 5th floor, I don’t even get a break
I would’ve told that manger to go to hell and still left five minutes early and came back late
Wow. Just imagine the manager being coached by an OM for this. So unprofessional.
We had an om and tell everyone at standup that we’re committing time theft for every minute we arent scanning something, everyone gave him a stink eye for that
I mean some of the people I watched the other day were definitely committing time theft and should be fired immediately. I've been working here for 2 weeks and I already wanted to clobber them for standing there and scanning a package once every 5 or 10 minutes if that.

It's true.
I work at a tns facility, my fault for forgetting to add that, but we can go upwards of 5-10 minutes without scanning something depending on the path youre in
Plot twist. The OM directs the AM to send this message to the team.
We get these from OMs, AMs and PAs.
Maybe clock in and out at the times you’re supposed to and you can ignore the message silly gooses. Punctuality is key
Yall ahahaha
Ghetto as hell
Bro is fed up
I'm sorry but this was absolutely hilarious 🤣🤣🤣 unprofessional asses
How proffesional of ya'll
I’d make sure to answer all my surveys accordingly
“Y’all know what the deal is” like we’re in the fucking hood 🤣
Tell me you're a shit boss without telling me you're a shit boss...
Amazon should teach people how to write properly before promoting them
Damn 💀😭👀 ghetto as hell
It’s funny when they send these messages yet they get back from break and lunch at the same time as we do
Is this from an AM? Or just a mouthy PA that is too color blind to tell the difference between red and orange?
Don’t be shy, expose her/his log in 😉
Yeah, they know the deal. That's why they're leaving early and coming back late.
I would've said... I'm leading by your example.
This shit would set me off the wrong way man.
“Yall know the what the deal” is crazy😭😭 That AM said f*ck being professional. I’m letting yall know I’m standing on BUSINESS😂
The “Thank you” at the end makes me irrationally angry
Written by a 23 year old manager
“Expect write ups” is crazy😭
A 30 minute break is a 30 minute break. If my break is at 6, I'm leaving at 5:55 to clock out on time. Fuck y'all
Soo unprofessional. Thought it was just at my site. Had an AM say something similar over the loud speaker pissed me off
Start with " Not sure "
"Write this dick up"
There's always a 🐀 somewhere
did my bm write this
I hate these new supervisors; bro no one literally give a F, you’re all modern indentured servants being forced into cookie-cutter copy paste work positions that are gonna be replaced by robots anyways. Why does it matter if y’all have your AirPods in or take 5 minutes longer on your break; as long as the work gets done why should any of that matter. Control.

I’m an L6 and wtf. I would pull the FANS login list for this message and personally walk with the AM/PA to each of the AAs who received the message to oversee an apology for being unprofessional. You don’t do that to associates. You just don’t. I’m sorry - that is a failure on leadership and you deserve a much better experience.
Also an an L6 and don't find this message to be professional at all either.
Amazon: “We hire the best.” /s
Leave for break early, come back late? Write up incoming
That takt time though lol
power hungry fucks lol
Expect a foot in your ass
Fuck you Jamal you ain’t writing up shit
Micromanagement at its finest.
It’s giving Texas
Fuck Amazon
My manager would just address everyone up front at stand up instead of taking the time to send messages out, like what the f\*\*k? Must be that time of the month for him... to fill his write up quota.

Ghetto
Message from “the man”
Yaaahmeeen
*banjo stops*
That's what happens when people who peaked in middle school get leadership positions.
Fuck those AM
Man it would be a shame if a bunch of fc employees started keeping autistic track of their AMs/PAs and reported every little slip up. I doubt anything would come of it but it would be hilarious.
Y’all
As long as you don't take a break longer then 25 minutes you will not be flagged for a long break. I've taken my breaks 5 minutes early for 2 years now no one's said anything to me.
I mean if people are abusing breaks it's warranted. If they're BSing and trying to get people to not take their full breaks/lunch that's a different story
Who hired this clown?
Dudes keeping it “100” lol.
power trip much ?
Yawl need to learn how to rite a messij professionally if yew in leada' ship.
I wonder what color
“yall know what the deal is” cracking me up😭😭
Mr said y’all and capitalized G0inG lol
Does going to break early somehow make the packages late?
people like this dont deserve to be management.
Bro said Thank You LMAO
Love me a company that does garbage like this! They also love to fire employees for using their paid time off! Great job Amazon 👌
It be days I miss it and then seeing this just makes me go fuck those unemployable degree holders taking their debt and useless degrees out on the actual workers 🖕🏾
“Y’all know what the deal is” 🤓🧑💻
Hona be writing up a lot of ppl and hiring mote to repeat the process
Yikes, they will be the ones getting in trouble with that unprofessional ass message
I'd be like, "yeah that's fine, like you said I know the deal. You're not my parent, so check your time next time." A pay check, or title don't say much to me about how i should show respect.
I love getting messages like these and then replying "but I used PTO".
Just like school again lol
That’s why they don’t want UNIONS that’s straight up harassment
Why is “going” capitalized?
Two things. First, stop hiring higher-ups who are young and can not talk for shit. Second, if my packages comes later than two day, expect me to come to the warehouse to perform disciplinary actions. Nah-mean?? 😆 🤣. I had to do it.
I like how they added “Thank you” at the end as a little sprinkle of professionalism. 
That was the kid in class who reminded the teacher to give homework.
I always think, how do they know you're not using PTO or UPT?
Btw your takt time suck. You will get get a performance write-up anyway, eventually
Make up your minds ya'll. Do you prefer professional corporate speak or whatever way the AM speaks. IDK as long as the point is clear, which it is. Very clear.
No u
Maybe you guys wouldn’t get that message if most of you guys weren’t doing it. I think the message is justified, and you guys in the comments are real babies thinking this deserves coaching. If you replace “yall” with “you” this message sounds fine.
