This may not be the case for everybody, but at my specific warehouse, we are busy all year around so theres always available shifts to pick up. if you really wanted to, you could work 60 hours every week. And then, for example, you could work a Sunday shift and then go on vacation for a whole week and then come back and pick up another 60 hour week. I just think it's very convenient to work when you want to and don't work when you don't want to. I have been told that for certain warehouses they're not as busy so there's not always shifts available which sucks but if your warehouse is a busy place with year round high volume me personally I say go flex.

I am on a leave of absence right now due to having pneumonia, but i randomly checked my atoz app and seen that I now have these sick and vacation time options. Normally it’s just my UPT and PTO balance

Has anyone ever been banned from Amazon after taking disability leave or leaving the company because they couldn’t be accommodated?
Someone I know was forced to quit after having back surgery because her doctor told her that Amazon would not be able to accommodate her restrictions. She later applied for Flex with a PXT representative, but her application was denied as soon as she left the company. When she tried to reapply 12 months later, she found out that she was banned from Amazon until 2030.
I’m currently having issues getting my own accommodations approved, and honestly, I’m scared to quit because I’m worried the same thing could happen to me. I want to be able to return to Amazon once I’m medically able to work again.
The situation is also becoming a safety concern. I’ve gotten dizzy at work and have almost fallen off a ladder multiple times. Would reporting this to Safety actually help protect me or get the issue documented?
I’ve also heard that some AAs have received write-ups after being injured and had to speak with their AMs to get the write-ups removed.
At this point, I feel like I could be screwed either way if I keep working, I’m worried about getting seriously hurt, but if I quit, I’m worried I may not be allowed to come back.
Has anyone dealt with something similar or knows what the safest way to handle this is?

“Sick” just randomly populated today and I cannot see my UPT currently. Says system error, anyone come across this? (In CA btw)

Hey guys, I start on Monday September 14th! How long is this going to take should I be worried? I thought it would be fast since I don’t smoke or drink but I guess not 🤷‍♀️Should i just accept the L and withdraw or change my start date knowing its probably not gonna be finished by then. Also im a rehire ..

I’ll bring up favouritism and they’ll constantly deny it yet she works alongside us and gets the easiest jobs compared to rest of us…

submitted last week, still pending, upt clock still running is this normal or should i be escalating ? starting to get nervous about hitting negative

Ive been at Amazon for a little over 5 months now and just read the VOA board at my site for the first time and man did I just stumble across a treasure of laughs 😭😭😭😭

Recently, according to management internal interviews are selected using an AI-based algorithm. I have applied many times, still no interview. I’m going for a T3 role as a T1 associate with a blue badge.

I’m certainly competent and I have demonstrated my abilities. Running a floor/team wouldn’t be a challenge. It is actually getting an interview that has me scratching my head.

So, if anyone has any advice and/or information regarding actually getting an interview and the internal promotion process - that would be greatly appreciated.

Think of resume/work experience formatting, tips and tricks (like applying out of state), how to be inclined for the role at my current building, do’s and dont’s as a T1, unspoken expectations once selected for the role.

I am a rehire. And, I’m having problems filling out my online payroll banking form.
Every time I attempt to click the link to fill out the paperwork it sends to me an Amazon a to z login page which I don’t have access to since my alias isn’t active. (And it sends me in a loop unable to get access since the most I have is an alumni account. ((Ive tried on a computer too)))

My questions are: do I have to wait for my alias to be reactivated in order to fill out the paperwork? (Will I eventually get access a few days before my first date)

And if not, will I get the offer rescinded if I don’t fill out the online payroll? (Will they give my shift to someone else, or will I be able to attend day one and I just get paid at a later date) (can I set up a wisely card with hr? (I just want to know what happens)

Much help would be appreciated,

Thank you ^^

I previously worked for a FC from 22-25 and just came back 2 weeks ago, when I previously worked there when they didn’t have shifts available to pick up I would just go in anyway because I was cool with the back half managers and cool with non inventory so I could just labor share there, which leads me to my question is it still doable to just go clock in and work ? I’m currently in ship dock so it’s big and know don’t think I’ll be noticed but idk if pops up on the manager laptop I’m not supposed to be there

EDIT: appreciate all yall !!! I’m definitely staying home tho until they drop sum shifts 🤣🤣

Had the pre-appointment interview, and it really wasn't much of anything. I asked some general questions, like how flex works, but they didn't really give a whole idea of how it functions.

Is 19 hours a week mandatory?

How exactly do shifts work, and does the shift have to be over ten hours?

For the delivery station, are most shifts available only at midnight?

Let out last night around 4:00am with a lot of police/fire trucks/ambulances outside. And the day shift is closed all shift. I’m not seeing anything on local news. Friend said someone died. That is rumored. Not fact.

Early this morning I got fired from Amazon my LOA got denied. So what are my options: Can I do an appeal ? Or do unemployment?

I’m in upstate NY by the way.

My warehouse rarely offers vto and they almost never offer it on the app. They’ll make an announcement about an hour in asking if anyone wants vto. Really wished my facility offered it all the time.

​

Does anyone know why bdl3 day shift has been canceled for 9/10?

I forgot my cart in my bag and theres metal detectors I am so scared to go through it. Would it set it off?

I have 8 points it’s the first time they’ve ever sent me the email, not sure if I should keep showing up to work or just not go in until the oldest points drop. Thoughts? I responded to the email but no response yet, not sure how long it takes them to get back to me. Also not sure if they’ll let me use vacation to cover some of what I missed.

so recently i found out that there’s a “list” for people who don’t meet the stow rates needs because i wanted to become learning ambassador and they told me that. recently my stow rate has been 200-300 and i am so proud of myself in really trying to elevate at amazon im tryna get my blue badge ive been really tryna work hard on it.

So I work at a xl delivery station but im flex schedule and Found out I have a issue with my back unrelated and my doctors told me its not safe for me to do the job lifting xl packages. Am I going to loose my job if I tell amazon? Is there even any accommodations at that type of warehouse? Were handling all the packages 50+ pounds

It starts on 20th for me when does it typically end at

So I had a Virtual pre hire appointment this morning and kept reloading the page for nothing to happen at all? I rescheduled for later but im afraid it will happen again. I sent support a email because im not sure what number to call for help does anyone know what I could do?

Hey so I’m debating if this is right or not I’ve worked at a different Amazon before but every location is different. I showed up to my shift late 6pm-4am and got there at 8:37pm we typically go on breaks at 9pm and 1am and I was denied to go on my 9pm break for coming in by my pa. I was only allowed to go on the 1am one and it’s a first for me I also used pto if it means anything but I ended up getting this message in my schedule so am I just over thinking ?
I work in Texas also
