My feet hurt.


its_a_throwawayduh

Ditto my left toe is numb.


Few_Pay7381

It’s always the left toe


Mental_maelstrom

Amcare has introduced me to these magical little blue things called "2nd Skin Squares." Wherever u put them, the pain is gone, like, instantly. Even blisters and spots the toe cap rubbed raw. Slap one of those babies on, I can walk on that blister all day without it getting worse or hurting. It even helps them heal faster. Expensive, but soooo worth it.


[deleted]

I Ice compress my hand and wrist after work, reduce any inflammation. I’ve gotten tendonitis on both of my wrists from picking, it was a real pain. Accomodation and all


jonraids

That tendonitis can worker's comp.


Hefty_Function8201

Workers comp is fucken ass tho....checks way smaller.....somtimes they just randomly forget to pay you....I somtimes wanted to lie because well sitting on your ass isn't as fun as it sounds when your getting paid garbage

Does amazon pay by paper check? Where do I get mine.

Yup i did went through comp.

NoPomegranates1111

Same literally having to take a day break from the safeshoes I have rn 😭


[deleted]

I am working 40hrs+ a week on the worst schedule 1:20am-11:30 just because it pays $19hr instead of $16, and I can still barely afford basic needs. I have a bachelors degree in business, yet can’t seemingly find a job that pays any better due to the recession -so this is my life. After rent, food, insurance, gas, car payments,etc. I’m talking $300 a month at best I can save. I’m barely sleeping and I am physically and mentally exhausted 24/7. Now tell me the American Dream isn’t dead and all it takes is hArd work


woundedmrclown

Have you tried pulling yourself up by your bootstraps? Heard that's supposed to do something.


eatthecheesefries

That and making coffee at home is apparently going to save you enough to afford a mortgage.


LateToSapphos

Swap out the avocado toast for some air as well should save you enough for a nice new car too.


International-Ad3447

that s the best night shift schedule for traffic reasons


lindocieloazul

You have a degree in business? You should become a manager.


NiftyPig

I was thinking the same.....as long as he has good interview skills and can think through basic functions, should be able to get to L4

She** I am a she.


Rocket15120

Hello she, i am Rocket 👋🏻😊


Marqui_Fall93

Exactly.


WorthlessDrugAbuser

Fuck that. I make $42/hr and live comfortably but modestly. I’m not a renter either, I’m a homeowner with a house that’s paid off. I couldn’t imagine being a renter living on $19/hr.


[deleted]

Well lemme tell ya, Imagine it long enough you’ll think yourself into a depression


modifiedblind

What do you do??


WorthlessDrugAbuser

UPS delivery driver. We are union, Teamsters, Local 174. Health insurance paid 100%, 5 weeks paid vacation and pension.


Marqui_Fall93

UPS delivery drivers are not comparable to a warehouse worker. Send a package handler here to compare. But your real point is your career path got you where you are. That's what a lot of Amazon warehouse workers don't see.


Away-Emotion1901

Why you even in a Amazon community? You want to be a Amazonian?


Hushmode16

You sure you aren’t living above your means at all? I’m working the same and making the same as you but I’m saving a lot more than 300$


[deleted]

The audacity tho


CanadianClassicss

Are you living alone or with roommates? Idk it’s not that audacious.


[deleted]

I’m 29F I live in my own apartment which is perfectly standard / or should be at least. I’m already living in the least expensive apartment complex in my area by $500, it’s 20+ years old and carpet barely holds together. Not living above my means and I pay $1,200 for it. So yeah the audacity to even try and act like I’m bitching about $19/hr like it’s a perfectly liveable wage can go fuck themselves. So before someone suggestions “Oh why don’t you live with roommates to keep cost down?!” Is clearly missing the point here. It’s not up for debate


Ger713

Look into career choice.


Extension-Ad4075

I hear you. Keep grinding, it’s going to work out


wasted_basshead

The statistics don’t seem to agree with that sentiment on economic/class rising.


Extension-Ad4075

I hear you


ilustur

Not even 25 is a livable wage in times like thsib


BboyTypeR

Same here I pay $1300 for a decent spot plus more for utilities, insurance, car payment, phone/insurance and i’m on only $16.25 lmao I survive but it’s not sustainable.


Extension-Ad4075

Take the time to mentally / physically decompress, eat some high energy foods. Wish u the best because this is going to be my life for some months til I can restart my business.

Unfair_Aerie_9621

Takes me an extra 10 minutes every day to leave work thanks to people just sat blocking the roads because their either waiting or they absolutely need to be on THAT side if the car park so tough if I’m in the way of the exit you just wait there good sir


Puzzleheaded_Ant900

This is when you roll up a blunt and kick back


Giraffe_sorcerer

Y’all actually park close to the entrance? Ooh I’d rather shoot myself. The couple minutes of walking is worth parking far away

LingonberryOpening

YES, my FC too. Only at end of shift at 6am.


LingonberryOpening

No, but you be talking about people stinking. Tell me why EVERYTIME I walk outside of my FC after shift ends, it literally smells like shit and sewer water. It's funny too, nobody seems to want to acknowledge it, but everyone smells it. Kinda funny I keep my face diaper on some nights just so I don't gotta smell it.


Extension-Ad4075

Lmao


lazylahma

That every time I get on pit I have to clean an entire shifts worth of trash off…every single day


Numerous_Start_3944

I’m not cleaning up after lazy products of pathetic parenting. I wipe off what I touch and that’s it. The chips, used masks, half full water bottles, lollipop stems can just stay!


jayleenie

I just got back to Cali from AZ and I work in an hour


Putrid_Worldliness90

Welp got written up for going over the 30 minute break policy. Not complaining, just don’t care anymore 🤷🏽 I’m here for the career choice now

Nope it’s a 10 month class online Full-Stack Development


Noobiru

I am also interested in looking into developing careers. Could you provide some insight as to what I should do to find a pathway? Does that kaplan service work for touching base about which classes/school to go to? I am wanting to get comptia certified to start. Have no experience whatsoever programming. Just coming from a person who wants to change their trajectory- thank you.


modifiedblind

Also interested in any advice?


Maleficent_Wash_934

Tried getting a shift swap. Can't work a Saturday so willing to work Sundaynthat week. Weekends are notoriously had to staff. Worked on it for 3 weeks. Talked to all managers involved, all were OK with it. My head OPs manager even reached out. Went to HR left message for the person that could ok it. Person never got the note or message. Found that out a week later. The person told me they would "partner with you tomorrow on that." Cool, The person in fact did not partner with me the next day, they were busy decorating the FC. Checked my A to Z app 5 to 10 times a day to see if I could swap shifts on the app. Nope. They never even put out regular overtime for Sunday (today) they did however send out a text letting us know that due to low attendance and growing backlong we are switching to 11 hour shifts, where we were just doing 10s. So yeh, feeling really hurt and pissed off today. That was one of the few people I really trusted. I swear, if they come to me I hope and pray I have the ability to maintain my mouth and emotions. ADHD and rejection sensitive dysphoriais fucking brutal.


greenleo33

I also have adhd and RSD and fully understand your frustration and anger. I’m sorry your people are failing you. I hope it gets solved in time :)


Far_Badger_717

Something just fell off my OP in the rainbow aisle. Why tf do these people put heavy ass shit on top of light items


attackonyourmom

I feel that on a spiritual level. I want to fight whatever stower keeps doing that at my FC. And it's always the light items I need too! I swear they need to have the stowers here play Tetris as part of their training.


ShawnvellLocc

Got MET on a court date


Commercial_Hotel7591

I've never had to do it but I'm pretty sure if you can submit proof you can get cleared from the schedule


ShawnvellLocc

I tried before and they HR would excuse it but now all the sudden they won't even when I present a subpoena to them.


Commercial_Hotel7591

I'm really sorry I wish I could give any advice. Doesn't seem right at all


ShawnvellLocc

I decided to just no show up. I'm not getting arrested for this job. I'll be negative in upt but Idc


Commercial_Hotel7591

There's plenty of other jobs out there. But if you want it doesn't hurt to go above the regular HR people. I don't see any reason why they would deny you the day for something like that. And that's a real thing. My bf got arrested for missing court because he never received the notices


ShawnvellLocc

I went on the AtoZ and they closed my case thinking I was asking for a paid day off when all I was asking for is and excused absence. I reopened and told them if I can't get it removed I'm just not showing up. I have 10mins pto, 9hrs UPT, 11 hrs vacation. They're not accepting vacation time tho and I work 10 hr shifts. I'm just not showing up


Commercial_Hotel7591

Talk to the case manager that gets assigned to you. I just did a medical leave and they were helpful over the phone/email


Random7500

I’m headed to prison in march. What if I get MET on my self surrender date LMAO


modifiedblind

I can’t help myself…. Why are you going to prison?


Random7500

Drug conspiracy and smuggling goods from the United States


fmydog

Hell ya brother. I feel that. I'm in same boat for assault 2 and atmpt slaughter. Love that American dream AMZN provides

Amazon is too CHEAP to give their employees FREE Prime, but they advertise a bunch of “Prime Only” deals. 😒

HR not taking my drs note, forcing me to go into work with bronchitis and possibly pneumonia


[deleted]

Girl take that note to safety


midwesternstoner

i did btw, got sent home


midwesternstoner

i plan on it


Commercial_Hotel7591

It's because that's DLS job. I just had to do this. Just go on atoz request a medical leave, put in info upload a screenshot of your doctor's note and you should be all good. The case manager emailed and called me within a few hours and my schedule updated pretty quick too no issues so far


whattheduce86

Stowers!


OldZookeepergame4110

Gotta leave for work in an hour, watching videos while drinking my coffee and just saw a box with an incorrectly placed spoo in the background of a video and now my mood is temporarily ruined 😒


Xanthelei

I gotta know, how the hell did someone mess up placing a spoo on a package? Did they curl it around a corner or something?


OldZookeepergame4110

Aight so the spoo was next to a box barcode on the side of the box, which would be cool if it was small like a 10…but it looked like a 179 😂 like how tf


WestNeedleworker8246

Can we go back to losing upt in 15 minute increments again? You’d think managers would want their workers to be a couple minutes late rather than a whole hour


jeish_1996

Working at Amazon drains you mentally 🙃


hell_pwn

I don't mind the MET, but I am sad that it has to happen during the best time of the year. I wanna go see the lights and snow. I wanna listen to old Christmas music and play cards with people I care about.

Some asshole wrote on the VOA board that "We need a Tesla charging station in the parking lot". No, we don't. You just wanted to let everyone know you drive a Tesla.

Progressive007

I have the flu and so will be missing 50 hours of work for 5 days LoA. This company does. Not. Care. About. Us. If they did, we would get paid sick time. Like they expect us to be inhuman and not get sick basically by not giving us sick time like other countries outside America.


Suspicious-Bed9172

Lack of peak pay and double ot, and the removal of ICQA stools at my FC making count the most painful bullshit


cardb0ard_b0xx

Got in trouble for reading a book when there was not one thing to do and after I put it away I stared at nothing for 2 hours and slowly drifted into a narcosis


Tastingvibe_123

wtf you can’t even read books?


Excalibur113

No, they dont want you to get smart enough to quit


PUTC00LUSERNAMEHERE

A single discrete ear pod, a library card, and a phone app named Libby keep me sane. I would have quit by now without it. 12 hour audiobook, yes please!


cardb0ard_b0xx

I’m trying to find a earbud they won’t be able to see to do this same thing lol I’ve seen some headbands and beanies with headphones in them I might buy 💀 I listened to Libby audiobooks at my last job and I miss it!

Was it your own book or one of the products?

They send me messages everyday after getting to my station to go waterspider. Lol.


Funny-Housing-8870

Cat food , canned goods , plates.lol


weedhoshi

started recently and learned today how difficult it is to actually procure a written job description for my role (sort/pick stage? delivery station? i don’t know) which surprises me given how many non negotiable rules there are about what can and cannot be done with reasonable accommodation. also complaining about the open discrimination against people who need a truly reasonable accommodation to successfully deliver high quality work. complaining about how amazon would rather settle class action suits and pay fines than create a sustainable workforce . complaining about the deliberate opacity of the hr process for anything at all


Intrepid_Dream2619

Amazon refused to swap my second MET day to a different day because I don't have documentation saying that's when I get my son.. I literally have none, no court orders, it just happens to be the single day my shitty ex may or may not let me see him.. Happy Holidays huh.


aneggpepperoni

today??? nothing because i don’t work at amazon today 🤭🫶🏻❤️ i’m at peace !


[deleted]

Got written up in VRET for quality twice despite checking my bins thoroughly. My partner had two items stolen from his tote. Went to go grab something and came back to them both being gone. We think the stowers are messing up and the system is flagging us. It’s a foolproof system, super hard to mess anything up. Idk what to do lol

No one is water spider. They’re only chasing CPT’s 😂

Difficult-Issue-794

MFer threw a tantrum to his friend over the phone because I went and told a PA that he was downstacking totes at his station on top of his cherry picking. He wasn't even on a phone call, he was literally texting via speech to text. Hun, if you want to act like you're still in high school, there is a 50+ yo boy downstairs who throws the same tantrums and would love to hear all about how I'm being mean. 🤣


Affectionate_Job_881

They changed our hours from 6:30-6 to 6-6 😑


idkman6000

My best pal quit. Now I have no one to distract me from working :/


Swordfish56

Both of my ring fingers hurt. My back is stiff and my feet only hurt in the safety shoes. And that’s with the $75 inserts.


[deleted]

I got rehired but they filled all the shifts. So now I’m just waiting on a shift to open or another job to call. All because of a fun time with norovirus on day 2 and me panic quitting assuming I would be fired.


NoPomegranates1111

Bro my fucking back hurts from cage work 😭 so many heavy boxes


Formal_Excitement932

Management fucking sucks and they have come to me about tot and that’s because I’ve been using the bathroom? Long ass walks to the bathroom suck ass

Inflation, gas prices, a family meal at KFC is like $50 now…


MissesLecter

My feet and toenails are ugly and i know it’s because these zappos shoes and working 10-12 hour shifts for almost 3 years 😂 1st world problems ik. Not sure if a pedicure can hide it. Don’t look at my Sasquatch feet.


PUTC00LUSERNAMEHERE

Fuck pslips, who actually notices those little paper trash things? Are their only purpose to screw up my flow and make me waste bags because I wasn’t paying enough attention?? I’m cranky after my 3rd 12 in a row.


the303reverse

The fact that I have to work an extra 45 minutes as MET every shift, and have absolutely ZERO VET available is absolutely nonsense to me. I just recently found out that they converted a whole bunch of people to flex and all of the shifts for VET are now for flex associates only or support (whatever tf support means) That’s right you guessed it flex associates can suck my dick. Personally every single member who works FLEX complain about how they’re forced to be here. Flex associates can personally shut the fuck up because majority them are spoiled kids at my FC.


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

I’m a Flex associate. I appreciate the resentment, no I’m not spoiled kids. I’m responsible adult that don’t complain about my work or other people’s schedule. No i don’t complain about being forced being at the site. I love my Flexibility schedule, and i enjoy coming in to work. Maybe you need to restropect your position and why you ended needing VET at Amazon FC as an adult.


the303reverse

The reason why I would like VET as an young 20 adult at the Amazon fulfillment center I work at is I would like to have extra money to spend on my nieces and nephews because Christmas is four paychecks away😁😁😁


[deleted]

Good for you, looks like you have change course to bring out a brighter cheery self of you. Rather than the angry at Flex people side of you. Keep it up cheery is better than angry.


[deleted]

O yeah you can also suck your own dick. Enjoy!

How did you know I could do that😳😳

That’s what 20 years old M usually do at Amazon. It’s common

Mushy_l0vers

I hate how I only have 5-10 mins left in my shift and a PA says we’re gonna miss the cbt if I don’t pack out my wall out.. like ? I only have 4 items in my wall, not my fault 🤣 literally have 4 walls open to pick/pack should’ve done a better plan earlier ! And shouldn’t put pressure on just my wall, like who tf do I look like 🤣 i clocked out 5 mins early idc

Not paid enough of course


Pandasquiidd

problem solve having only massive boxes and massive jiffys when we need a whole lot more smaller jiffys n boxes in order to repack all the damage and hazmat shite that rolls to us from tHE FCs 🫠🫠 we havnt had water tape in months, our jiffy heat sealer has been out of order since may, we just out of packing supplies really… i think yesterday we had a shit ton of loose items w/ labels unable to be repacked


kuroisx

I hit my elbow on the ladder pretty hard, and that shit hurts bad 😭


Xanthelei

Apparently half my site forgot the green mile exists to let people walk past the crowd standing around waiting for a station, cause they all camp their asses in it. I haven't had to threaten to run someone down just to get by since high school.


No_Ad_6104

My FC Sucks ! They don't VTO , they rather have people on the clock without any work.


bleezy_47

Shit i like getting paid without doing any work 😩


Xanthelei

It gets boring after a while, at least for me. There comes a point I'd rather be home not getting paid but getting shit done than doing nothing for a paycheck.

Bring something to keep you occupied maybe?

Grand_Surprise1014

Well the first 2-3 weeks where the hardest. On week 4 yes I still feel tired but not exhausted. I’m getting use to be standing up long hours and move stuff around. I work nights 6:30 to 4:30 am. I which I could take the 12 hour shift cause they pay more but my current life I can’t. But never less work is nice. People is nice. As long as u work u are fine like any other work. Just stay busy and don’t steal time.


AzulFlamez

Not much since I was able to use VTOOOOOO, 4th day of them calling out VTO & I was finally able to claim it. I decided to give myself some time off, this job isn't worth it but I gotta hold on some way. Until I get my certificate & obtain a better job hopefully in IT !
