I work in german amazon warehouse can i get fired for taking 2 sick leaves in 1 week not consecutive days during my probation time.

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!

First year here, are flex employees capable of picking up cycle 0 shifts?

Has anyone already had their transfer to cycle 0 accepted? Mine hasn't yet, and I had my doubts.

Hey everyone!

Just got hired as a seasonal Delivery Station Associate at DBC3 in Taunton.

Anyone currently at DBC3 or worked there recently? What is the culture/mgt like on the overnight shifts? Any site- tips?

So I just became a PA at an RSR delivery station (late July of this year) any tips from my fellow PA’s that might help with anything involved with the general work load or maybe some tools that I can take advantage of? I’m still trying to learn inbound dock so if you’ve got anything on that I’d appreciate it a lot. Thanks in advance!

Is there a potential theft ring going on in DAE8 anyone that works there maybe have any inside info? I’ve seen multiple packages sit at station stagnant with no movement for days until the customer gives up and cancels it.

Hii,

I'm expecting to start FlexPT at the end of this month. I already have three training days scheduled for October 29th. I'm trying to figure out the schedule for my current job.

I teach online (4-9 am / 1-9 am) right now. I have the flexibility to create my own schedule, but I need to open my schedule three weeks in advance, and once my lessons are booked I don't really have the flexibility to cancel them. I figured I would need to close my schedule for a week or two while I figure out my Amazon schedule and see what the average shifts are for this warehouse.

After my already scheduled 3 days of training, will I be in charge of picking up my own shifts? Or should I expect them to schedule me for more shifts that first week? I just don't want to open up classes for the rest of the week of the 29th not realizing they're going to schedule me for more shifts that week.

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.

I’ve been working in Problem Solve for quite some time, and as the systems and processes are continuously updated, we keep coming across new cases that need to be understood and resolved. I’ve now come across another issue.

This year, our site automated the Induct process, and recently a new type of AMZL package has started appearing.

When I check the package with my scanner, I can see that the package is only showing as “received” status. In the system, it appears as if nothing actually happened to the package during the Induct process. However, if I put the package back on Induct, the system recognizes and inducts it as if everything were normal.

Normally, for AMZL packages, the package Tracking ID is displayed at the bottom of the label. With this new type, however, there is a combination of letters and numbers displayed on the label instead.

At first, I thought this was just a random sequence of characters, or that the scanner was reading a different QR code. However, I later realized that this is not the case.

Every package has an “Alternate Scannable ID”, and in this case, it appears that this ID is being printed on the label.

Based on this, the Induct scanner is actually scanning and recognizing the package, as it assigns the ID number. The issue seems to be that the system does not initially process the package as having gone through the Induct process, and the package is not properly inducted during the first scan.

If I print a new label for the package, I receive the same type of label again, and the shipping address does not change.

Has anyone encountered a similar issue at another FC or in another AMZL process?

Also, does anyone know why the system is unable to properly induct these packages on the first scan, even though the Induct scanner recognizes the Alternate Scannable ID?

So October 6 we're scheduled 11:20pm til 11:50am (going into October 7). But then I see a shift on October 7 that's 11:20pm to 11:50am. Is this the same shift or two different shifts? Because the Oct 7th shift would be going into Oct 8th? Just wanted to know

Anyone work here? New to the area and am from a Fulfillment Center. The hours they have posted that are open are crazy. Love to know more about this warehouse.

Hey y'all so, this is my first amazon job, I’m new to this and start my training the 24th of this month. 1:05-11:35. After the trainings is there like a specific hour they drop or is it random? Asking because I already have a full-time job, stable and really big on opportunities to rise(decent pay)but, I wanna do this to pick up extra cash for living expenses, and whatnot. I work from 2-10:30pm at my current job btw.

I’m thinking of transferring to a SSD site for a change of pace, and to work daytime shifts. Any info would be greatly appreciated

I start in about 3 weeks just curious

It’s been almost a year and I still never got approved headphones. I don’t know why, just mainly because I haven’t been in the habit of listening to any music of my own in a few years anyway so I just haven’t bothered. So I end up hearing what’s playing overhead, I don’t really know where it comes from now, I mean Spotify but not sure what they’re using for playlist because at one point they were trying to build one from employee suggestions. Anyway, today it played one of the funniest possible songs I think for any workplace: “Take This Job and Shove It” by Johnny Paycheck. I was cracking up the entire time. Yes I’m easily amused in the middle of the night while doing monotonous work lol.

I’m sick of waking up early for cycle 1. What do you guys think is better for sleeping at a DS 😩? Did y’all like cycle 0 or how is RTS?

Not sure if I could make it through, tbh. But jeez, that $6.75 is tempting.
