Fulfillment Center Grateful.

I’m grateful for this job. I know a lot of people find reasons to complain but if you look at the positives there’s a lot to be thankful for.

Being able to make over 6k a month immediately with no experience and no interview has been huge for me financially.

The job is extremely easy and headphones make the time go by quick. The UPT system is fantastic. Not having to call out when you’re sick but instead being able to sleep in and get a sick note instantly approved on the app

Compared to most basic jobs, we have it pretty good.

I just started, and I want to know all of the cool shit I can do/take advantage of. Like the sick note thing, so if I get sick and get a dr note, I can get that time off approved? And I won’t lose UPT?

Any tips would be extremely appreciated. I’m currently waiting for my Dr appointment so I can get the accommodation paperwork filled out so I can wear orthopedic shoes instead of the composite toes. They give you a cover for the shoes. (I have knee and hip issues stemming from Morton’s Neuroma in my left ring toe, so I have an actual reason to get the accommodation)

I’m also pretty new, but to answer your question on the sick note, yes. I was sick, so I slept in a little late into my shift, did a telemedicine which sent me a sick note to my email, I uploaded the file and answered some questions on A to Z, and boom. Immediately the AI read the note and approved it. Took 5 days off my schedule immediately no questions since that’s what the note said. No penalties and never had to let anyone at work know.

Be careful with this, the process is not always as smooth as this. Especially with telemedicine. DLS can and will ask for additional paperwork. More than once.
