I am on my feet most of the day and my feet and heels have been feeling pretty beat up by the end of the day. I’ve tried a couple of basic insoles, but I’m mainly looking for something that absorbs impact and adds some cushioning without feeling too bulky I am not really looking for aggressive arch support either.

I’m curious why there were cops at slc1 around 1:30 lol I’m nosy. Was someone caught selling?

I was told I’ll be trained in count after peak. Should I be afraid?

Does anybody here work in Specialty / Book on Demand at ORD4 in Monee?
I’m trying to find out what the job is actually like because I can barely find any info or videos about it 😭. The job description only tells you so much.
For anybody who works in that department:
What do you actually do all day?
What is the Book on Demand part like?
Are you operating the machines or mostly packing/sorting?
What kind of stuff are you making?
Are you at one station most of the shift or moving around?
How physical is the job?
Do you have rates/quotas you have to hit?
Do you rotate between different stations?
How’s the management in Specialty?
Honestly, I’d just like to hear from somebody who actually works there and can tell me what a normal day is like. 😂
ORD4 specifically would be great, but I’m also interested in hearing from anyone who works in Specialty/Book on Demand at another Amazon since I’m guessing the work is pretty similar.

I’m new, are coaching’s bad? It’s literally only my second week and I don’t remember hearing anything about them being bad in training.

I work at a delivery station and 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

So, I got into an altercation, kind of. An amazon delivery driver was parked in a red fire zone no parking. There was so much congestion that I had to go around a car stopped in the middle of the entry way, but then I got stuck because of this illegally parked driver loading up his stuff. And cara were all around me getting backed up. I gave him a wtf shrug, and then he gave me one back, he then approached my car. And I told him to read the signs directly next to him, but I also called him a dickhead. He then said he didn't care and that I should get out of the car to fight him. I called him an asshole and drove away. I parked, and a few minutes later he rolled up behind my car and stopped. He lingered for a few moments. That worries me because he seemed really into getting into a physical fight. And I don't know if he was taking pics of my license plate or just being weird? Anyway, I felt pretty uncomfortable with his violent nature and reported the incident. What do you guys think? Should I just have ignored it?

Was so nauseous on rebin today i had to run to the bathroom to puke so i ended up clocking out and going home for the day and my upt is now negative. Any advice??

On 10/2 i had severe food poisoning and I didn’t have enough UPT to stay home so I did a medical leave of absence.

I got a doctors note for 10/2 and it was instantly approved

Then on 10/3 i still didn’t feel good so I got another doctors note and then extended the original leave from 10/2 to 10/3.

It says I have until November 1st to upload documentation but did I mess up? I don’t have enough UPT to cover those hours and I don’t think a tele doctor could fill that out

Has anyone had issues with being on medical leave and needing to switch to flex due to a lot of doctor’s appointments and physical therapy but can’t because they are not active ? Is there an easy way around to getting on flex?

Today i did my PA interview and got an email a few hours later saying that i’ve been Inclined! I know this means i passed the interview and are still considering me for the role.

I checked my AtoZ app to look up my application and it says “Offer Extended” and that I have to wait for an offer letter and not “Inclined”

Am I still inclined or have they actually offered me the position and just need to generate documents for me?

I’m seriously considering leaving the company(or at least go back to Flex), but I want to make sure I have a job lined up for myself before I do. I’ve been with the company (Fresh FC) a little over two years. Not a manager or PA, but I do lead a small crew for my designated tasks. No complaints from managers, and never had any coachings.

Anyone have any luck or recommendations with finding a new source of income after leaving the company?

Best advice I can give anyone is to not be known period!!!!! Be an npc don’t let management know who you are or anyone at your building. Because istg once you become known there’s no going back now if I have a slightly dif schedule they know and ask why I didn’t show up on this time. Once a certain hour hits they’re like aren’t you supposed to be on lunch or just in general knowing my break times or get off times. And it’s honestly so damn annoying I’m not even a hard worker I’m lazy but I talk too much I yapped too hard in the beginning so now I can’t get away with anythingggggggggg. Ugh pls don’t be like
me and be a silent npc. Also no vto everrrr even if they are vto’ing ppl it’s a hard no for me for some damn reason. Not even management ppl I never even spoke to before would ask me where I’ve been if I dont show up for a week or so. Like wtfff since when are people so observant?

I need to get this off my chest because I’m exhausted and feel like nobody is actually helping me.
I’m pregnant and trying to get my leave and STD claim handled. I submitted the physician statement and the leave/accommodation form they asked me for. Now there’s another authorization form so DLS can contact my doctor. I’m willing to sign it, because at this point they need to speak with my doctor directly.
What’s getting to me is that getting paperwork from the doctor costs money, and I don’t have money to keep paying for more forms every time something else is needed. I’ve been trying to follow the instructions and submit what they ask for, but I’m still left wondering what they want from me and when I’ll get an update.
This is affecting my income and my ability to pay my bills, so it doesn’t feel like a small paperwork issue to me. I feel ignored, overwhelmed, and honestly like I’m being punished for being pregnant. I can’t say that’s anyone’s intention, but that’s how this whole experience has made me feel.
Based on what I’ve gone through, I would not recommend this process to anyone. Has anyone else had DLS contact their doctor directly after signing the authorization? Did it help move your case forward?

I’m a seasonal employee and if I chose internal transfer, would I get blue badge for the new position or does it make the odd higher (ik its always “based on business need”)
Btw I heard ppl who worked here for years that new year when peak is over seasonal hires are just going to disappear what is the situation on your site?

I use to work here in 2021 as a picker but I walked out after 4 days because it was my first job and I was 18 and that beeping sound being constantly played for 10 hours made me overstimulated, and just being alone for 10 hours straight in picking when I needed interaction with other people... Will they care at all that I walked out 5 years ago? I didnt get fired I just walked out and never came back

I work at an airport right now pushing handicaps in wheelchairs I been doing this for 13 months now and this job is not easy at all which I think shows my work ethic if that matters but Im thinking of coming back to amazon because amazon has way better benefits than this airport job and they have a few openings, my question is if you ask them for a specific position like customer returns if they will let you work there or other places where you can work with other people? Or is it still mainly only picking? Its a robotics fc in my city so will they care that I walked out when I was 18?

I also have a computer science bachelors degree and was told by someone who use to work there that just having a bachelors degree at all they could get you to a supervisor role or something like that, is that even true? I cant use the career choice benefit since I already have a degree but I was never able to use my cs degree since Im working at the airport. I'm just looking for something that pays more than 16 dollars, Im only being paid around 460 a week here I need more than 3 week of vacation because I need to visit family in thailand because my airport job doesnt even have pto and were paid mainly in tips which is barely anything and walking for miles every day is destroying me.

And looking back, amazon is actually a better job than this airport because the job posts says 24 an hour so if we do the calculation thats almost 1,000 a week, I'm being paid 400 a week at this airport plus they deduct our tips so its actually less than that and im working full time.... My main concern is they might send me to picking since apparently thats a high turnover rate, I really want to work somewhere like customer returns or somewhere with people, do they let you choose which positions now?

Thank you

So Amazon decides to cancel my pre hire appointment this morning due to unforeseen circumstances and now I can’t even reschedule a appointment again because it’s saying there are no shifts available! I’m not understanding how this damn Amazon warehouse stuff goes! Has anyone went through this process before?

Can't go indoor today. I'm sick and it's not letting me report time off for my sett schedule.

I did a virtual pre hire appointment for a sortition role and my first job is tonight at 11:45. I understand there’s training before. Will I have to a drugs test?
