Hi everyone, I'm just curious if this is happening at other locations. This is something they've recently started doing at my site (I work at PDX8 in Oregon). Personally, I haven't had any issues with my PA or manager, but over the last few weeks, they've been very strict about the amount of time people take to go to the restroom. They've stated directly that if it takes you longer than five minutes, you need to get an accommodation, otherwise, they will write you up.

I just think it's bullshit because, as someone who has tried to get accommodations for my arthritis in the past, I know how difficult they make it. But I wanted to know if they say/do this in other locations? I have worked in three different locations over the last five years and this is the first time they do this.

My friend got a write up for driving the opposite way? So is speeding and opposite driving a write up always? How do they find this out

I was fired from Amazon on April 20 for being at -11 UPT. I know the policy says I have to wait 90 days before reapplying, but I’ve heard stories of people getting rehired after only 2–3 weeks.

Is it worth trying to apply sooner, or will the application just get rejected automatically? Could talking directly to hiring or explaining my situation help at all?

Has anyone here been rehired before the 90 days or have any advice? Rehired email says I can apply on July

Who is actually hiring for the OMs at each warehouse? Is it a manager onsite? Is it a manager in the region somewhere or based out of another state?

I have passed the assessment test and now want to show more initiative and try to connect with the hiring manager and just drop off resume and formally introduce myself. Surely the head manager at the warehouse has some say in the hiring process correct?

What position would I be best getting if I have a domestic violence charge from 1/4/2025 and it's only one I did my research already but I'm asking you guys now

I recently just had surgery on my hand screws sticking out. I went on LOA mid April I was still full
Time employee during my leave start date. But also accepted a Flex PT position maybe 2 days beforehand. which I was supposed to start end of April. Will I still be able to get STD ?

Hi everyone, I’m in a bit of a dilemma and could really use some perspective.

I’m currently a master's student in the UK. I recently received and accepted a placement offer from a growing logistics company. It’s a solid role, and I was happy to take it.

However, shortly after accepting, I got an invitation to interview for an Amazon Retail Vendor Manager (RVM) Internship.

The company I’ve already accepted does not have a sponsorship license. As an international student, my long-term goal is to transition to a Skilled Worker visa eventually. Amazon obviously has a licence and a clear track record of sponsoring graduates.

My Questions:

1. Is it worth reneging on the first offer if I get the Amazon role? I’m worried about the ethics of it, but the sponsorship issue feels like a major factor for my future.
2. For those who have done an RVM internship, how likely is it to lead to a permanent, sponsored role?
3. Should I be upfront about my current commitment during the interview?

I feel bad about potentially backing out, but I have to prioritize my ability to stay in the UK long-term. What would you do?
