Does anyone's site have case prep workers with a new table in the rc sort department?

What are your opinions on this?

Hey, I just wanted to warn people. I decided to try the Lyra Health option that is offered through Amazons health coverage--cost per session is estimated at $10 (with premium Anthem) Anyways, I thought the appointment was at 1:30 and it was at 12:30,

Yes--that was my mistake and honestly, I understand a penalty fee of some kind... but without sending me an invoice, or notifying me in any way, they automatically charged me $185, not to mention thats 18+times what the estimated cost of the session was. So yea, if you were hoping for help with your mental health--Lyra probably isn't the avenue for that, and could potentially make it worse.

Like I said, I messed up and would have accepted a no show fee, but $185? That's groceries for my family of 6.. just thought others should know.

How soon can I shift swap after a location transfer?

I am starting my job at a sort center on July 13th. I picked up a 9:30am-1:30pm everyday of the week except Wednesday is my day off. I like the hours but I don’t care for working both weekend days as I am very busy those days. Is it possible or easy to get a schedule adjustment to add 2:30pm-6:30pm shift for two weekdays?

Hello! Today I got a transfer opportunity email that wanted me to transfer to a different site about an hour away from me (wtf). I haven’t given my response yet, but I was wondering if it was mandatory. I’m currently seasonal (flex). Will I be let go if I decline? Is there a chance it’s optional? I’m not sure why they would want to transfer me when we’re understaffed. There hasn’t been VTO at all.

I found the cheat code on how to keep your feet from hurting while wearing the composite toe shoes during your shift. Rub tiger balm on your whole foot before putting the shoes on. I did it before my shift at my SC.

Usually my feet would be on fire 🔥 cuz of all the walking I do during my shift. We have been doing 5 hour sorts since last week. 95k volume, whooping me every day . But TODAY, rubbed that balm on my feet before start up, no pain at all by the end of the shift. Feels like I was walking on clouds.

I’m in Michigan! 20. Any other Michiganders with this experience? Or anyone with this experience, please share!

I start July 12 as locker retail associate if things work out. Duration is regular. 10 AM to 2 PM.
Wage is 16 hourly but it’ll do. Sounds like an extremely easy job, and I’ve been to that local whole food market before, it’s nice and food is okay.

Heard bad stuff about hours mostly lol, 19 hour cap or 40 hour cap occasionally(? How come) but as a college student, doesn’t sound bad. I’m on my phone 24/7 so hopefully I manage to snag a few shifts a week, even $120–190 a week is good.

I used to make $80 or under in a week while doing side hustles. Haven’t had a job in over a year, . Had a bit of epiphany and crisis, changed my major from nursing to psychology.

MY CLASSES: 2 online thank god, 1 hybrid arranged

Only annoying part is bus commute.
But it’s okay, endurable.

All of this sounds better than 5 day 8 hour shift (that sometimes can be 7 days).

edit: literally like an hour after posting this HR asked me to call and they said I GOT THE JOB!!!

I would have put this in r/amazonrme but they have to approve me to let me post and it's taking too long lol

I've applied for multiple MRA positions in the same city and was actually accepted for phone interviewing with 2 of them. I didn't have to do any kind of aptitude tests, they just did the screening phone call interview, as well as the video call "in-person" interview.

I think the video interview went well, but it was on a Friday and so I've been anxiously waiting for the weekdays to see if I get an offer. The interviewer said the program would start around July 20th, so they have less than a month to issue an offer, so I doubt I'll be waiting long. He also said there were only 2 spots left open so I'm extra nervous about getting in.

I have an Associate's in Science studying Advanced Manufacturing Robotics and Mechatronics, but would that make me overqualified? idk I'm probably overthinking it. 🥲

I’m pissed because I’m slaving away packing or picking and if I slow down even for a second I’ll get coached. and then I see all the stowers near me continuously walk off station they do more work not working than working. I imagine they stow maybe 50 items per 10 hr shift. All they do is walk around talk to their friends and they DO NOT WORK. I never see them get coached. All our PAs are their friends and they dont do shit. Their buddies can FaceTime, talk on the phone, wear AirPods. Do whatever the hell they want. And the rest of us slave away and have to follow rules. They all hide in the prayer room multiple times a day. There’s one that packs and he packs 10 items and then goes to the bathroom and vapes for 10 minutes and comes back and does it over and over and over again. A few of them steal time and walk off at 7am sit in their cars and come back in to clock out at 7:30am. I’m just so fucking pissed at this point. I was stowing a couple days ago and went off on the water spider because he was letting his buddy behind me pick his own pallet of totes to make sure all the items were small. And he always had two pallets of totes at his station at all times. While I’m doing pallets of boxes and filling my own sled. Water spider skipping over me and not helping me one bit while his buddies and him talk the whole time and he’s helping them fill their sleds with totes mind u not boxes.
I WORK AT AN SSD NOT AN FC SO ONLY COMMENT IF YOU WORK AT SSD.

Started as a seasonal on may 21st at a sortation center. After prime week is over are we gone the next week? or do we work half of july. RDB5 in irving.

Hi everyone, I graduated last year with a degree in business administration and I got reached out on LinkedIn by a recruiter. Is there anything I can do to prepare myself for the interview loop or advice I can follow?

I apologize if this is asked repeatedly, I tried to search the sub to get some answers. I’m in a not so great spot financially so I took a part time position at a fulfillment center close by, 5:15am to 10am. I’ve never worked for Amazon or any kind of warehouse, so I’m just not sure what to expect! Any and all tips are appreciated, I’m super anxious. I hate being the new person at a job and I hate not knowing what to do lol.

I was invited to a hiring event and got hired immediately on the 18th. I was told my estimated start date is July 2nd which is fine but since that day I haven't heard anything back. I completed my background check and drug test. The last email i got was from a "candidate care coordinator" telling me background check is 67% completed. I can check the status of my background without that person and It says completed. Its been a week without any contact and I emailed them back got no response. I checked the website to make sure they didn't withdraw my application and they didn't it still says pre employment screening.

Is this normal??

Do Same day buildings work OT during Prime too? I have never worked at one, so Idk. I thought about transferring, and do not see an OT day listed.

hey guys, needed some help with my TC. recently got L5 AM role in Indiana which i know is LCOL. breakdown was 73k Base , 3.2k first year bonus, 3k 2nd year, and 20 RSU. TC cones out to 84k ish. when comparing to levelsdotfyi, seemed pretty low for external l5 AM even if in LCOL. any advice? room to negotiate? what should i do

I just accepted a transfer to a new building that just launched and is only hiring in as blue badge. As the title says, I am a white badge. My transfer says duration is seasonal, but im wondering if anyone has any experience with this? Do you think I could expect to be converted pretty quickly after starting at the new building?

May not be the right place, so to speak, but the closest I can get. I work for an air cargo company that pretty much exclusively works under contract for Amazon, so I work for Amazon indirectly.

So far, what I've been doing is mostly scanning boxes and jiffies from shuttles and then putting them into mail bags, also while separating large boxes from smaller ones. These mail bags are then loaded onto air cargo containers as well as the larger boxes, which are loaded individually and not inside mail bags.

People who are permitted to drive are usually on forklifts in the mornings, unloading pallets of boxes and shuttles from trailers into a staging area(?) where they'll then be taken to different areas, either for stacking cans or scanning in the mail line.

We also unload mail bags and boxes from containers into shuttles.

Anyway, what exactly is this department classified as? Is it just a glorified sorting center?
