So our boss told us that email accounts for Level 1 employees will be phased out at some point in the future. Could this be true? Why would they do this??

Um. It's just a bit strange to me I wonder the meaning behind it. Honestly I'd rather be called an employee.

It’s so common now that I can’t go on lunch breaks anymore. I hate it but I need the job to get done so far I’ve asked my TL for help so many times & nothing.

I'm an order writer and sometimes I punch in usually no more than five minutes early. My TL spoke to me and said that I need to work my exact schedule no early punches. I should add that I'm leaving five minutes early to make sure that I don't go over 40 hours as well. How is this enforced at your location?

i’m a full time TM. when i was part time, i would rarely ever call off. now that i’m full time, i’m doing it more often. sometimes i just don’t want to be there 5x a week. i rarely get sick so saving my upt for sick days seems pointless.

sometimes i feel guilty when i call off when i just don’t wanna be there. but there’s like 0 work life balance when you work full time and i’m still adjusting.

is calling off once or twice a month excessive enough to be told something about it? are they going to start seeing me as undependable or something?

i’m not sure if it’s just me throwing a fit or if I’m being targeted. I was hired December 1 as a seasonal e-commerce shopper. I was only supposed to stay three months. I got hired through the automated tech system. They never seen me before orientation because an interview was not required before the interview I found out there is no face tattoos. I have seven baby stars by my left eye. It’s barely noticeable honestly and I wear glasses so it covers it pretty good no one notices it ever. I don’t think even my coworkers I took my glasses off or pointed it out myself anyway 42 days into my seasonal shopper career I applied for front and customer service and e-commerce supervisor because I had experience coming from another grocery store and I was tired of the deadline hanging over me. I interviewed and asked them again if I should cover my tattoo and they told me no, so I assumed no thinking that it was up to the store leader. Everything was fine up until last month when they pulled me into the office telling me someone reported my tattoo and it was brought to someone’s attention and I need to cover it all of a sudden. I have been covering it feeling like a freak because there are other team members with tattoos and piercings on their face and I’m the only one who has to cover including supervisors. Also we have a group chat for our about 10 to 13 of us as supervisors, including team leaders and team leaders. Everyone chats on there about Work and Work related stuff. I text my team leader not in the group chat, but through his number directly to let him know me and another supervisor switched He texted me back hours later saying we should not be talking on personal numbers and I should’ve instead but this time it’s OK I’m confused because we have this group chat but when I say something, it’s a problem I feel like I am being targeted and discriminated against for some reason I have gotten in trouble for speaking up for my team, as well as getting another supervisor in trouble because they treat my team members like crap and I will not allow it . at the Townhall meeting where you talk about everyone’s I was a little cocky I was the fastest rising supervisor and I would have my own store in no time. I am wondering if that guy did not like my words come to find out he’s Jehovah witness help me. What should I do lawyer?

In the break room there's so many AI generated work related pictures it's actually really atrocious because they care about being environmentally friendly but AI is literally draining our water..... Same with the plastic I see so many things in plastic or we have plastic stuff.... Like that's not environmentally friendly either???

Anyone know if we'll get to keep our TM discount once the transition to Amazon employees is done?

I have an interview coming up for a Customer Service & E-Commerce Associate Team Leader position in California and the pay range is listed as $21.55 - $35/hour.

I have about 2 years of assistant management experience, including handling employees, customer issues, scheduling and day-to-day operations. I’m trying to figure out what would be realistic to ask for negotiation.

Would asking for around $26/hour be reasonable or is that too high for someone with my experience level? Just trying to get an honest idea before the interview.

Thank you in advance!

I’m hoping someone can give me a quick reply before my 7am shift but I’m sick like runny nose constant coughing u can tell I’m sick but I don’t have enough upt and just 2 for pto and I don’t wanna get terminated, I’m a shopper so I’m constantly w near food and I don’t think I shouldn’t be going ?

Is it me or is being an order writer becoming much harder ? All these expectations like cycle counting following metrics soi being too big working backstock supervising team members always getting blamed when something goes wrong I’m just an order writer not an ATL or Team Leader I feel like I’m being overworked to the point where I’m getting burnt out and more and more frustrated anyone else having this problem or feeling?

Calling in today but nervous because I don’t normally call in. Should I tell my shift leader that I simply don’t have money to get to work? I’m a supervisor.

LOLing at my store offering us $25 gift cards to take shifts for this Sunday.

Genuinely wondering how that happens. Did they not schedule anyone for Sunday? Is there not enough shoppers? Why only $25? LMAO jk but still
