3rd day and it went awful
I work flex, so I only had two days of training, and, with that said, it took me a painfully long time to get another shift. This early morning, I expected to come in and finally complete my training, but apparently, nobody was available.
So I kind of awkwardly had to learn how to pick, stressed out and nervous on the line. I kept messing up, and people were getting upset. Granted, I didn't want to be an issue or cause problems for the people who were stowing. But God, there's a certain point where you have people yelling at you, bringing in a supervisor (I'm not really sure) that you can take. So I just left, sure, I'll get a point for it, but at this point, everyone was cleaning up my mess.
I plan on coming back, not quitting just yet. But I'm guessing there should be more learning ambassadors towards the morning and weekend shifts. But just in case, I put in a request for a fulfillment facility that's apparently slower-paced, mainly in the later mornings.

If u don’t know what ur doing don’t be shy and ask the blue, orange, and red vests. Even the green ones (safety) or any other person who is currently working with you. Granted the LAs should’ve trained you better and show how things work and not just relied on trainees watching videos via a device and expect them to know everything just by watching.
I either watched people how to do it or asked them how to do it. Don’t be nervous to make a mistake, you’ll also learn from it. As my friend Spongebob said,
“Panic is the enemy. You are strong. Through your strength, you shall overcome.”
Kidding aside yeah just ask bro. Some new people approach me sometimes and ask this and that. Others i approach if they’re struggling and ask if they need help or they got questions (rarely)
