so i currently have an offer for a seasonal full time delivery station position. trying to decide if i should quit my stable but low paying ($14 an hour) job to take this higher paying ($19.75) but possibly temporary position. been seeing lots of posts about seasonals being let go so im wary. delivery station is in vegas if that makes any difference. currently work at a warehouse that washes hospital linens (very hot and very physical labor so not too worried about the physical part of this offer)

I’m flex part time, I got promoted to bluebadge 3 weeks ago and never got the badge yet but pay went up. Can I still be let go randomly with the seasonal? A lot less people here now after prime week so I’m wondering if they’re letting many go and the shift aren’t filling up anymore when they drop. It’s great for me so I can do pick every morning before my actual job, but kinda concerning since I navel got the badge yet

I keep seeing and hearing about layoffs, especially affecting people who've been with the company for around 6-8 months I've been here for 7 months, so I can't help but feel anxious. I honestly don't know what to expect, and I'm worried I could lose my job.

I'm a blu badge flex employee with the minimum of 4 hours weekly. I know we get the 1.5x holiday pay, but do we also get the extra hours holiday pay? Or does that only apply to fulltimers?

There’s this area manager who does same days at my station who is very rude to me. As prime is over I’d need to do these shifts to get more hours.

It started off with me asking her to open a bag one day. I asked a learning ambassador with a laptop and she immediately forgot about me then I asked the area manager.

I told her a specific bag h 1.D wasn’t open there’s no qr code for me to open it, something something she didn’t understand she became irritated / had an attitude. I’ve never had this problem with any other person

Second time is when I was diverting and was switched out because of rotation ,I was put onto same day for the first time. Everything was fine until she told me to go to this blown up aisle. I asked her if she wanted me to Tetris the bags because they were awful and would slow everything down.

Don’t remember what exactly she said but she didn’t understand what tetrising was / cared don’t remember.

Later on she grouped us up something about labeling the carts and how she wanted them spaced etc I didn’t fully understand it because it was my first time doing this.

She said to me if I was even listening when I asked her questions about things I didn’t fully understand.

I asked her a few more questions about things whatever but the final part came when I needed to know one more thing.

I politely asked her if she was busy because I had another question, then something on the radio came up she spoke for like 15 seconds then forgot about me or just ignored me.

Afterwards I just asked a co-worker questions I had about same day I explained to him that she was being a b1tch to me for some reason.

I don’t know if I’m being treated this way because of my appearance, I’m not close with my managers but they know I work hard and respect me this is the only person I have an issue with in the warehouse.

Could I just come in on said shift and ask another manager if I can float or something if she’s in charge for same day on that shift? The 3:20 am ones usually don’t fill up.

Is HRs only job description to “jerk themselves off”? I’m so done. Thank you.

does anyone else *never* see their area manager and just PAS? im wondering if thats specific to my center or what. i see my area manager maybe 1-2x a week in the morning at the board and then never throughout the rest of my shift. is this normal?

not complaining btw!!! its probably for the better but i guess i just dont get what hes doing all day

I see it all the time. The hardworkers being sent to pick up the slack of my fellow dark arts practioners, or what I like to call the Amazon shenanigan olympics, which I am a proud practioner of.

Most of them don't have a back bone. They are the yes person. When asked to go help the do nothings who are blatantly engaging in the warehouse darks arts, they won't challenge leadership. They'll just bendover backwards and do what they are told while muttering under their breath.

How about you try growing a backbone??!! Try challenging leadership to hold the do nothings accountable for not commiting to their fairshare. If many of you all actually had your finances in order, and had any sort of leverage, you wouldn't tolerate being pushed around the way I see you guys getting used and abused.

But you are in survival mode and need the job, so you'll keep being a pushover. Your finances aren't in check and you've already set the expectation that you are a spineless yes person. You are scared to engage in the shenanigan olympics that some of us deploy because you are scared of rustling feathers😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣.

If this post triggers you, its because im highlighting a very deep insecurity that a lot of you hardworkers have.Try growing a backbone.😂😂🤣

Just be considerate and don't cause more work for your coworkers. Do what you're paid to do at the very least. If it sucks so bad go find some other job for your lazy ass. I don't try that hard at all but because I have a normal work ethic I get tapped to go help the 'do nothings' that are literal wastes of space. I just want to do my job and go home, but I can't because of so many of you. This idea of just mind your own business is bullshit because all the lazy people make my day way harder than it has to be. Rant over.

I'm sick of these OV's!

I put up 10, 12 more appear!

All shift! All day! And then I get slammed with jiffies and OV's at the same time!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

MYOFB = MIND YOUR OWN FUCKING BUSINESS!!!

If people decide to use their time to skip pick and stage MYOFB

If I decide to walk at a 🐌 pace in the warehouse, which i do btw, MYOFB. Dont tell me im hindering anyone, the warehouse is huge, walk around me.

If people are constantly taking vto's, you only see them twice a month and it makes you feel a certain way or you start labelling them lazy, MYOFB. Not everyone who works here is in survival mode.

If at the end they start sending boxes only when the bags are already full af, plus you are tired as hell, and people start scanning some of the boxes as miscassified package to the OV rack, MYOFB. Getting angry about that is above your pay grade, let management deal with it.

My standard hours are 20 hours a week, and I usually work 3 hour shifts unless I pick up an extra hour of VET for crash. I picked up an extra shift for Monday, so by Thursday I'll be at 19 hours. If I end up going over my 20 standard hours, will I get in trouble? Also, has anyone had any luck getting HR or site leadership to increase their standard hours? If so, how did you ask?

I usually work 10 hours shifts but since tmr is July 4th my schedule is only 4 hours and it starts at 11:59pm-4:30am. Does this mean since it’s technically not going to be July 4th I’m not getting double pay?

so i work at a new rsr delivery station in ga and they don’t let us get a 15 minute break is that wrong and do we need to report? its flex only and the shifts are usually 4-5 hours. i understand not getting a 10-15 minute break for the shorter shifts but that cant be right to not get a paid break after 4 hours

I was asked to go stow, I’m in the dock. There’s 5 minutes left until break, I tell them can I go after break and they say no go now. They want me to stow on J cluster which is the other far side of the building from the dock. Also they’ve been sending out VTO every 15 minutes so I don’t understand what’s the hurry, by the time I walk to get a device, get a stow cart, login and go to the aisle they would have called break and break room is right next to the dock. So I just self directed and continued to water spider
