So I was in the kitchen going to town on some tacos de chicharron when my whole ass tipped back off the stool. I fell hard on a previous injury, and now the area’s all swollen and I can barely move it.

It’s not a workplace injury, so what are my options? I only have about 30 hours saved going into an MET week, so not enough to just dip in freely. I only just made blue badge and got signed up for health insurance in the last couple of weeks; haven’t even used it yet.

I called up a couple of local urgent care clinics, but between insurance providers and appointment availability there seems to be nothing today to get a note from.

Do I just go in tomorrow, ask to go to AmCare, and let them know what happened? And maybe then go home after that? Pretty sure I’ll need to be bringing in some kind of documentation and engaging with all that, but if I won’t have anything by tomorrow, then what next? I could try to find an appt. for tomorrow but not sure if it’d help to show up and report first

Update: Ok, I’m at the emergency room although sounds like that may not help. Sounds like I need to find a primary care doctor on short notice or I’m screwed. Any suggestions for how to go about this? It seems to typically take weeks…

Hello I have a pre hire appointment at for a Amazon warehouse role on Thursday but I was just wondering I have a family holiday booked for 2nd of September up until 12th of September and since I’m just starting is this going to tarnish my chances of getting an extension after my probation period (whatever it’s called in Amazon) or will I have no issues

im taking classes soon, what do i need to know before hand?

So I was with Amazon for almost 4 years. I was an L4 when I left. Was injured outside of work and eventually had to leave. I’m healed now and want to come back.

BUT, they are trying to say I owe them just under $5k in payments that were paid to me while I was out injured and before I left. I’ve clearly not paid it yet, I’ve been out injured for 2 years now.

Will owing Amazon money keep me from being rehire eligible? It’s letting me apply for roles and not saying I’m not eligible for rehire.

Has anyone ever had a miscarriage because of Amazon?

Before anyone ask yes I did go up to the live help desk by the entrance of my facility to ask for help and they either have ignored me or no one there, mind you it’s the same set of people that trained me literally last week and said i could go over there and ask for help😭 For our orientation day they had let us leave an hour early but then they said that in the system HR would fix it to be the full 10hrs instead of 9hrs. I tried contacting them through the A to Z app and got redirected to the HR for the company instead of my specific site and they basically told me to go to my site hr which one one is helping me find💔 so do i just edit my punch because I’m afraid it’s going to affect my paycheck. And I’m positioned at Pick. I can’t remember the other first few letters for the damaged items that are okay to go through, I only remember LPN. Secondly for the items that are actually damaged I don’t know if i’m doing the process right because the trainers had told me to just leave them up by the computer screen and someone will get it but in the system it requires me to scan an empty tote and it in there or to the side and another trainer told me that for pick and stow we get write ups mainly for missing items. Can anyone please help me and i’m going to try to reach out to a Manager or a PA if i could find one😭😭😭💀 and also are you guys really scanning 300 packages an hour?? the heavy ones hold me back a lot

Having a hard time deciding 😔 I don’t want to miss out on not using my career choice but, I also don’t want something that will take forever and would want something that will open up doors for me. That’s why I want something to do with Amazon in career choice.

Any advice would help, just tired of path at this point. Wouldn’t mind being a PA if that’s what it takes for leverage in becoming something else but I rather not be a PA.

My uncle is trying to apply to an FC. He’s not very tech savvy so I need to talk him through how to navigate through the process. Am I allowed to help him fill it out if I make him answer everything himself and I just make sure he types and clicks Everything correctly without making mistakes and Causing blockers for himself?

I’m seeing on my VOA board that people are complaining about updates to stowing. I’ve only been stowing a few weeks and haven’t noticed anything. Does anyone know what these updates or changes are?

Back during Prime Week I was technically scheduled to work the full 60hrs but our FC sent out a lot of VTO that week so I got pretty close but didn’t quite hit it.

This week, however, is the first time I’ve actually picked up enough VET to hit the max 60hrs. The problem is, I picked up the shifts after I’d already worked my 2 normal shifts (part-time employee). During those 2 shifts, I worked around 20hrs and 12 minutes. At this point in the week, I’m at 30 hours and 13 minutes. How do I go about fixing these random few minutes on my Saturday shift? I was already planning to leave 3 hours early for a friend’s baby shower & use PTO for the remainder of my shift, but how do I plan for this in the app? Will the app automatically prevent me from going over 60hrs? I know I won’t get in trouble because either way I won’t have physically worked 60hrs since I’m leaving a little early anyway, I just don’t want it flagged in the system and for them to have to find me during Sundays shift to fix it/explain the situation.

Basically— do I need to actually wait until Saturday and calculate it myself before clocking out, or will the AtoZ app automatically prevent me from going over 60hrs if I leave early anyway?

There’s no space like at all not even for small stuff I’ve been hitting rate but honestly I have to do miracles to fit the damn boxes lol.

My termination appeal was unfortunately upheld, and I’m not eligible to reapply until January 2027.
I’m a college student, and Amazon was one of the few jobs I found that worked with my school schedule and was able to accommodate my class schedule. I was also relying on the income from Amazon to help pay for school.
I know the appeal is over, so I’m not really looking to argue about whether I should’ve won it. I’m just trying to figure out what options I have now.
Is there any way to have a termination reconsidered after an appeal has already been upheld, or is January 2027 basically a hard stop?
I also know that some of the people working inside/around the warehouse (security, janitorial, etc.) work for different companies. Has anyone who was terminated from Amazon successfully gotten hired by one of the contractors working at the same site?
Basically, I’m just looking for realistic advice on what I can do from here. I really need to find something that can work around my college schedule, and I’m honestly pretty stressed about losing this job.
If anyone has been in a similar situation and found another route, I’d really appreciate hearing what you did. 🙏🏽

EDIT: I understand now that I have to wait until January 2027 to reapply. 😭 I’m mainly trying to figure out what I can do in the meantime. Amazon was one of the only jobs I’ve had that worked well with my college schedule, so losing it has put me in a difficult situation.
If anyone who’s been terminated has found work with one of the companies that operates inside/around an Amazon warehouse (security, janitorial, etc.), or has any recommendations for jobs that work well with a college schedule, I’d really appreciate the advice. I’m just trying to figure out my next move. 🙏🏽

Because here at CAE1, it’s wild. Instead of putting them at the end of the aisles where they’re supposed to go, near the conveyers seems to be the popular spot to leave them lol. Have to maneuver just to drop a damn tote 😂.

PA just told me next time I leave early I have to let them know an hour early or I will get a feedback tf shit is that? It’s my pto ima leave whenever I want
