r/AmazonDS

Can't log into A to Z on my phone any more because I'm not using a lock screen, and I can't log into it on my PC because I would need to authenticate with my phone... and I'm not using a lock screen.

This is complete nonsense - there was NOTHING WRONG with the password method.

& they wonder why nobody wants to tell them they're leaving early.. I work at a DS so I have the dumb 120-1150 schedule.. my cat has a vet appointment at 3, I wanted to go home & maybe take a nap before I have to take her but I guess thats not happening now, they guilted me into staying til 1130.. im leaving at 1115 they can figure it out themselves not my problem.. like one damn person leaving is really gonna make a difference

I went to the bathroom to wait for the VTO they sometimes sent at certain time, if you refresh the app you get to see the VTO 10s earlier before the notification is sent, I get to take the VTO and then I heard a manager from the walkie talkie of someone who was next to me said “Close the VTO at x:xx time until we figure it out, never mind someone already took it” 💀💀💀

Short answer: basically the title, any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Long story: I’ve been with Amazon for six and a half years, started at one DS and transferred to another after that one closed. After my dad passed away in mid-2024 we had to sell our house and I’ve been on my own since. My attendance since transferring to my current site has never been where I want it to be but as of late I really need the money but my motivation to even just go in hasn’t been where I want it to be. I’d love to transfer to another station but it doesn’t seem like many, if any, opportunities are open currently. That and while the atmosphere of my current station is starting to become pretty toxic as of late I do love the friends I’ve made and still work with over the years, so there’s a loyalty aspect too. I also would prefer to not leave Amazon entirely for now because I’m using Career Choice towards WGU and I like that school way too much to want to quit suddenly. I have an intermittent LOA through my doctor and I really appreciate it, but the problem there is it’s currently for the full shift up to two times a week but I can’t really afford to take even just one day off at this point. If anything, I don’t think the 1:20am to 11:50am schedule is really working for me anymore, and I’m probably going to change my schedule to something more manageable by the end of the year, but I wanted to see if anyone had any suggestions in the meantime.

So when I walk in to get assigned a task for the day they occasionally ask me if I’m able to unload or waterspider, but I can only push since it’s basically diverting, I’m interested in unloading but I’ve never asked them how to get trained for it. So I got put in stow yet again

Are you supposed to approach your learning ambassador or something? Thanks

—-Extra stuff don’t need to read really just venting I’ve made a post like this in the past, —

Today was my 4th day in a row stowing, yesterday I was straightening and right after break they swapped with someone because job rotation or something then made me do noncons. Then gave a guys aisles who took Vto.

This dude had every bag messed up especially the bottom bags ,I fixed every bag in one aisle and primarily focused on that. I fixed some bags in the other aisle and the lazy floaters messed them up kept shoving boxes and someone instead of stowing kept putting boxes on the carts I kept stowing them but they eventually made a tower of them on two carts. They kept stowing for a little bit then kept leaving repeat so I basically had little help for the entire shift.

At the end of sort another pa had the gall to ask me can you stay behind and help stow down, ignoring his kittens just chatting across the aisles. Other people just went and hid / do other random stuff instead of working.

Then today I was placed near two lazy mfs, they just kept looking at me when I needed a little bit of help at the start of the shift because a lot of bags weren’t open and no QR codes to open them I also lost my badge for a little bit I eventually fixed it myself, person next to me needed a lot of help but she has always been a slow stower and my manager told us three to help her because we’re “strong” stowers.

They were just talking and looking down at me and the aisle. I looked at them to see if they were going to do something and I kept looking them down and they began to hide in their aisles once I starting staring with a tired frown . They moved him down there to take her aisles and she became a floater

I will say this later on I was able to keep up with the volume and the staring at the btch despite having the friend who became a floater help her her sht was full. It felt good to stare back at you knowing I’m much better than you.

Near the end of sort a lazy floater came to one of my mostly clear aisles i immediately went to him and saw a box sticking out the bottom bag, instead of helping the 60+ year old woman stow down the aisle to my left because the btch girl left I wanted to yell at him I just told him to get out I don’t need you.

I hate having having to work with these lazy people I know it’s Amazon we’re slaves blah blah it’s still a job, I usually go out of my way to help people etc I’ve been here for four months and I’ve seen and worked with exactly three people who are like me in my building and one of them is a 60+ woman.

funny thing about her is she works so hard and people rarely help her so I’m always helping her. I told her let her hampers become blue so management has to deal with it, she kept going even during her break one time, this is insane

She came like at 2am when we were under headcount, PA is stowing my aisles with jiffies while she has carts loaded with boxesand the stowing bags filled with stuff in the back. Happened again another time floater sees her no one helps you get it.

I am so stressed right now every time I stow they keep putting me in heavy aisles and then when I catch up or keep it clear I’m told to help the same people who couldn’t give a f .

I can’t just just slack off because of my work ethic. I know you can do basically nothing and get away with it but that’s not me and I hate that I won’t give up

And you people who keep looking why do you keep staring / looking at other people when they need help, it’s annoying I’m busting my self when you have no volume with packages just slapped in your bags.

I hope you guys are stuck working here you deserve to be here and it’s a good thing youre here not talking about people who have no other choice. Unfortunately I’ll be here until likely December I’ll have enough saved

These past 3 weeks have been making me so bitter I sleep 3-4 hours everynight. I keep seeing the same people over and over ,some managers have developed an attitude not giving basic respect or dismissive when I need help with things I can’t fix on my own, I rarely ever talk to them even the new pa who transferred here is a b. I notice the same people getting put in low volume aisles / p2b section, it’s evident because their bags are sht and they never fall behind for the entire shift. And it ends up being a pain in pick and stage I’ve seen people straighten days in a row these aren’t older people with accomadations

when I push I specifically am always sent to the very back or eventually because they leave or grow tired , when I’m in the middle I make sure to organize / straighten almost every box and jiffy and throw the c/ds all the way over so they don’t have to reach all the way over but when I’m sent to the back they give me the very bare minimum like a hole I was making your job so much easier you can’t do anything for me.

Sometimes there are jams and no one goes and gets a manager and lets the c/d pile into a mass no one stops the belt or tries to wedge it out, I had a person behind me not do a single thing when it happened once. Once I tried to use a jam pole. People saw me and no one got help

Hello there - former Amazon RTS PA & Driver Trainer here seeking advice from the Amazon pros...I recently moved to a new house that doesn't seem to be in the GPS system and Amazon hasn’t been driving to the door to drop-off packages. I live in a gated community in a rural area and the address system is a bit wonky; we have a community address and an individual home address and we are told to put both addresses on our Amazon orders.

I’ve tried asking in the driver notes, but I think my address is causing the issue (Google maps still shows my house as a patch of woods lol)

Any tips for effective driver notes to guarentee that drivers come to the door? I’m thinking of driving to my local DS and flagging down someone in FQA, I'm pretty sure I need my property to be geo-fenced in order to get packages properly.

Called customer service to no avail.

Thanks in advance for any help with this 😄

Can I still pick up shifts more than 19 when I start? I’m Permanent Flex and it’s my first time being flex so I understand everything yet. I wanna go up to 60 hours plssss 🥺

I was stowing today... Had 3 aisles already. Girl beside me tells me she's running to the bathroom. Cool, I can't guarantee I'll keep your stuff handled, but il do what I can. She also tells manager otw to the bathroom that she's going. The manager walks over to her aisle and starts to pick up a package as I come back around the corner of the aisle. She sees me and tells me "she went to the bathroom and will back in a minute", drops the package shed picked up, and walks away.

Like really? You couldn't even stow the package you already had in your hands?? You see I'm already soaked in sweat keeping my bins empty, but you're gonna let me take over the extra aisles too while you walk away? Cool cool cool.

Also, when PAs come thru, grab a bunch of boxes and throw them on the cart and then walks away.

Ts makes me LIVID. A good leader jumps in and helps out. A bad leader works at Amazon.

I am going to start leaving whenever I get stow and using my UPT. I want to know if I have to tell the PA Or Manager that I am leaving like giving a heads up. I don't want to. I cannot ask them because I don't trust their answers.

Thank you

I have been working on my delivery station since November last year. I started off as a regular seasonal associate then got converted into flex PT but recently they hired a bunch of seasonal this month. Should I be worried to be let go on the next layoff of all seasonal? Or do you think eventually I will be converted into a BB? Been almost 7 months.

As a seasonal worker during last years Xmas and currently still working. Why is peak a hated or a time to save upt/fpto/spto?? I’d like to know everyone’s exp and advice on using vacation time if you’d like to share your own experience and give tips. Currently our Dsp hovers 60k volume and assigned 3 aisle on ADTA (automatic Stowe side). If I recall during Xmas I only was assigned 2x aisles. 3 aisles currently is too much.
