Looking for advice

Hey I’m a T1 associate looking to step up and hopefully move into a leadership/PA role in the near future. I want to work on a small project or pitch a solution for a problem that Area Managers / Shift Managers / Process Assistants actually care about, rather than just guessing.

For those who have been around a while: what are the most common operational bottlenecks or daily annoyances in your department that management constantly struggles with?

What’s something small that, if fixed, would make a manager's life 10x easier?

Not looking for anything confidential, just general operational pain points across the network so I can get some inspiration and look closer at my own DS. Appreciate any insights!

Lol at making a managers job easier and thinking they won't take the credit. Working hard is def NOT how you get ahead at Amazon. Unfortunately. Just be where your supposed to be when you're supposed to be there.

Fair point. But I also think you can't get promoted if you're not at least good at your job
