Did I misunderstand tote transitions this whole time as a picker?

I'm a newer picker at Amazon (about a month in) and I'm confused if I was actually being coached or if this was just a process correction.

Earlier in the shift my rate was mostly fine and I've actually gotten positive feedback recently (top quality, shoutouts, etc). But after getting moved to a new station because of a spill, a green/blue vest came up and observed me while I was picking.

My picking process was basically:
Grab the item > scan > toss in new tote (if the tote is full) > then push the old tote out with the new tote and hit rack light button.

She told me I should always do the tote transition/ process first before the item and said "it'II take all day doing that."

What confused me is:

• my tote transition time itself was actually fast
• I've been picking this way for over a month
• I see other pickers combine motions too

So now I'm confused if:
• this was an actual coaching/feedback
• she was correcting my process because of how I was moving the items
•or if l've just been misunderstanding the tote flow this whole time lol

Anv experienced pickers know what she likelv meant?

A to Z blocking my scheduled shifts from Report Absence?

I work a Thurs–Sun overnight schedule (6:30 PM–5:00 AM) and my normal shifts ARE showing on my main schedule, but when I go to “Report Absence” in A to Z, almost every date is crossed out/blocked like I’m not scheduled, it’s like that for the entire month of June as well.

Is this just an A to Z glitch with overnight shifts or are they purposely blocking call-offs because Prime/MET season is coming up? I still have enough UPT. Anybody else had this happen?

i got a 2025 Hyundai Sonata SEL Sport from Hyundai 2 days ago. It’s technically new, but since it was used as a demo vehicle, it already had about 4,000 miles on it when I got it.

I popped open the hood and noticed the coolant is below the MIN line

Hey, I’m about 3–4 weeks into Amazon (picking) and I’ve had 2 coachings recently.

One was from the system (I guess it flagged something), and another was a quality coaching from someone who came up and explained my errors. But I never had to sign anything or acknowledge anything.

When I check A to Z under “MyPerformance,” it still shows 0 coachings.

Is that normal? Do only certain coachings show up there (like formal ones)? Or should I expect them to appear later?

Just trying to understand if what I got was informal vs something that actually goes on record.
