Oh this is funny. Pickers and Stowers HATE this job. We all try to get out of it and go to other positions if we can. But compared to before, yes its a lot better. Its not a terribly hard job, Its just incredibly boring to stare at those stow pods AAAAAAAAALL...NIGHT! Its also hot up there on the upper floors. It makes me glad I work on the floor in Receive. I should clarify, for like the first two weeks, Walking into that Facility(I work at it) is like walking into the result of a lovechild between a warehouse and Disneyland, It looks like you could ride some of the things moving around there and you have to fight the urge to. LOL After that, it's scenery, paint on the walls basically. You get used to it then the job gets tedious, repetitious and boring. Still cool to watch the Kivas go, or when they spaz out and spin in place. that's always funny to watch. Amazon's not bad though. The Central Valley definitely needs more places offering better jobs to unskilled laborers. You don't need anything special to work here. Hell Its my first job that wasn't a temp job. They treat us pretty well to. Yes they use robots, but the robots aren't really replacing us, they're assisting us. There's a big difference there.
+3rdeye88 Start this coming week. How would you rate Forklift positions there (based on your observation/experience) honestly? Is it a little more faster pace then say the Pickers/Stower position? I enjoy moving around a lot. Never really enjoyed staying in one place for hours at a time because it always seems as if time isn't going anywhere so I just thought I'd ask someone who's already in there to give me a little insight. *Thanks in advance to whomever provides their 2 cents.*
+Baltimore B Well you don't really get to pick where you're put. They hire your and assign you to a department, so be prepared to go to Inbound or Outbound where you'll pick or pack(outbound) or Stow(inbound). However, once there for three months you can put in for transfers. As for forklift operations Amazon kinda does it in an ass way. My dad has forklift experience and he's always said that it is a skilled position so it pays better and is a promotion like position. Its a better position than other shit at Amazon, but they don't pay you any more than any other tier 1 associate. So unfortunately you're taking on a bit more responsibility with no added compensation. You fuck in in Pack, no big deal, you fuck up in PIT operation, big fucking deal. The best you get out of forklift operating there is not having to do the same boring shit all the time. Though I did see plenty of guys who would sometimes stow or receive, and sometimes drive the pit trucks(RC, order picker, turret, and power forks). You never be guaranteed to be doing just forklift. Where as I understand it, at other places, that's your designated job. At Amazon your designated job is to show up and go where they need you. They do a lot of cross training so that you're always useful to them some how.
+3rdeye88 I appreciate your (quick) response my friend. Definitely will keep what you've said in mind. A lot of what you've said does make a lot of sense but I just honestly hope that some sort of compensation is given if taking on more responsibility. But *either way it is all good.* You know why? because I'm just glad to have a decent job (too many people nowadays don't). As long as I can take care of my bills & responsibilities. #ImGood Bigger Things Are On The Horizons. :) Plus like I said, I'd rather do more than one thing and get paid the same thing than just doing one (boring) thing and get paid that same amount because doing the *later* will honestly drive me nuts. *Thanks Again Too Man ....I appreciate your response*
+Baltimore B No problem man. I hope it goes well for you I really do, but I would like you to be aware that Amazon has one of the highest turn over rates of any fortune 500 company. They mill through people like crazy in the warehouses, and it's usually because of rates. That stower in this video had a rate and those jackasses standing there in her way was probably messing it up. :lol: So just be aware of that man. Best of luck to you.
+3rdeye88 thanks man. definitely appreciate the insight and I do understand where you are coming from but just #fyi Amazon is only temporary for me. It's just a vehicle to get me to my next destination. Nothing more nothing less. Best wishes to you as well man.
I shop online all the time and Amazon is the best, The item purchase arrives safely and on time and every items are tracked making the whole experience run smoothly. Now I can see why :) no human error ;)
I just cancelled an order with Amazon. The delivery time was 2 months off so I bought from a small company in a town of 7000 pop. for $33.00 less and 3-5 days delivery. Watch out that Amazon and Wally World don't slime you when you aren't paying attention.
Their next robot will be designed to answer any questions from reporters, and this guy will end up jobless and on the street, see how he likes that efficiency!
ThundeAppeal My I introduce you to machine learning? Turns out algorithms are getting smarter too. And computers are already poised to take away whit collar jobs aswell. All those people that believed in capitalism are gonna get crushed by it. It's gonna be marvelous.
The weakness to this system is that people have to unpack the products and stow them in the bins and are rushed to do so. Amazon's inventory has a lot of errors as a result. A way to automate the whole inbound/stow/pick cycle is needed to solve Amazon's massive inventory problems.
they can save money and be more efficient by incorporating a mini transit system for the pickers in the warehouse instead of buying and maintaining 15000 robots.
Now, if they could tighten up their product search engine. It used to be amusing to search for something relatively common and get pages of responses with items that weren't even close to what I was looking for, but it's become very irritating. The product descriptions could use some work also.
People want to find reasons as to why the middle class is dying, this is why. A lot of the jobs in the middle class sector can be replaced with a machine. From a business perspective, it makes a world of sense. Machines don't complain about wanting more money, longer breaks, a day off, or 5 day work weeks. They work 24/7 non stop. This started a long time ago and will only get worse from here. Fast food chains are starting to roll out automation for their locations to save money from the people who think they deserve $15/hr. Keep fighting corporate america for more money though.
What happens when robot 7933 battery dies and its location is at the far end corner of the warehouse? or someone accidentally puts their car keys on one of those shelf's for a sec and the robot carries it off back into the warehouse?
you need to think this way... if people not working - they're not spending money, who'll shopping online in future if such jobs will be takeover by robots?
thats not what they are aiming for either. they are taking over massive parts of the total market consolidating and pushing out nearly all competition shutting down millions of jobs in the procces. the people behind amazon, google, facebook, microsoft etc etc are pretty much the same people who already have trillions and control nationstates and money printing presses.
3Dtimespace How does the consumer benefit when 1 million people are unnecessarily performing the jobs which 1 thousand people could be doing? The cost of goods must necessarily be higher to support those extra 999,000 jobs. Since Amazon can dominate merely by offering lower prices (which they do), what does the consumer do with the extra cash he has in his pocket? He spends it on more stuff, which creates more work. And more tax revenue. So you see, the issue is not quite so simple as you'd like to believe.
It doesn't eliminate the walk! It just translates the 'walk' from muscles to fossil fuel produced electric power; and to a smaller extent, renewable energy produced power. That's what people do - off-load muscle work to machine work - and it's destroying the balance of the natural environment.
You people that complain and blame the rich and the robots are the same whiners that complained when cars started being made by robots. The rich are the only ones buying on Amazon? Amazon benefits me and my family by providing products fast and by providing them to me at a much better cost. We use it all the time. Socialism has built what better? You guys all complain about capitalism as if its evil, why not go to where socialism is and tell me what is better? Your methods and ideas don't work. Socialism produces dire situations where people cannot even get enough food to eat and yet you complain about capitalism?! Those that work harder and invest should get more. All you know how to do is tear down and find fault but you provide no solutions. All you can do is blame the rich or someone else for your problems but why not do something about it YOURSELF. I find it ironic that people are coming from India, China and other places with pocket change and becoming millionaires in the USA while all some people do is whine about what others have instead of doing something about it themselves. You blame the rich and become jealous of them as if you are poor because they are rich but that is just stupid and eliminates your own responsibilities. Get your own life and stop following the media which tells you to buy the latest and greatest stuff and save your own money and invest to make money. Quit your whining and go do something instead of tearing down what everyone else does as if you are an authority on what is best for society while blaming capitalism.
Stop crying snowflake.....all companies and corporations are in business to provide what YOU are demanding, so shut the fuck up and stop acting like a spoiled, crybaby snowflake.....You sound stupid!
i know everyone's joking about robots taking our jobs. it's partially true. robots are being implemented by senior management. senior management only cares about results and margins. one worker costs them, generously, $35,00 0 - $40,000 + an extra $10,000 for training and benefits (i don't know what salaries fulfillment workers make). 10 robots may cost them the same thing in support costs. robots don't get tired. robots don't need vacations. if you are an unskilled worker, you WILL NOT make it out of lower class in America, not anymore. everyone's mad about robots taking jobs but your anger should be directed at corporations with less ethical employee ideologies. you should be mad at your politicians for taking away public education funding. you should be mad for not going out to vote and staying informed about your election cycles. the biggest enemy in america right now aren't muslims, mexicans, robots or the other. the biggest enemy in america right now, is the lack of priorities in our public education system, the lack of re-training programs for expiring industries, the lack of options afforded to the lower class to move up. and a lot of politicians who are paid by corporate interests, they can be the oil industry, they can be the tech industry, they can be the finance industry. the problem is that they are paid by people with a lot more money and forgetting about the people who aren't giving them as much. as americans, we really need to be focusing on voting in politicians who are focused on these things. public education funding, adult re-training, putting an end to citizens united (which allows specific corporations to fund politicians, obviously of their own choosing).
What do you want then? Consumers are finding new ways to save a buck and demand lower pricing. Workers scream for better pay and cond no matter what, and the costs of living keeps going up, how the hell is it the businesses fault?! Amazon IS a business, not a fucking humanitarian project.
Unfortunately I lost my job to a robot so I'm basically broke and can't afford to buy shit from you Amazon! ; but wouldn't that put the robot out of a job as well? A conundrum.
Only stupid and foolish people make assumptions about others; and yes, I have a degree (which in itself is a scam but that's for another conversation). I digress. I trade the stock market and I will be shorting it very soon because there will be a collapse coming soon and all of your 401k will be gone with the wind but I'll be making money on the other side of that trade.
I don't entertain the musings of others when it comes to collapse forecasts. So many have been wrong over the years and the market is a complex continuum.
+PrincessTS01 Amazon robots have taken 0 jobs the people that pack your items have to run and go get it all they do is cut out the running and if you want to think of it it also created jobs because now they have to hire someone to build, maintain, and improve the system. So not less jobs more jobs! and easier on the people working for amazon.
Brandon Sheaffer there are far too many uneducated poor people for that to be really true in practice, here in the ca, usa when like 70% of people drop out of highschool, california builds 22 prisons and only 1 new college is it really a wonder why people are pissed off
+PrincessTS01 California is not everyone, Amazon has these robots so their is obviously someone building an maintaining them.. As much as I would love for California to be everyone it's not certain jobs are for certain people. Not everyone is cut out to work industrial robotics and that doesn't mean you have to go after that carrier. As for the argument of California if let's say for sale of numbers each high school graduation class's has 100 students if 70% drop out that means 30 kids graduate then so why should their be more colleges built to teach 1,000 people and only 30 graduate it don't make sense. You can't get into college without graduating high school unless your a child genius. (Since this is 2016 I have to state that my next statement is not saying California is crap or all high school drop outs end up in trouble) but if you do look up your stats drop outs are "more likely" (not all will) get in more trouble then a college graduate (yes college grads get in trouble Ik)
So if more graduate high school more will be more likely to go to college needing more colleges and the need for prisons will go down (again since this is 2016 I know not all high school drop outs get in trouble, and I also know college grads can easly get in just as much trouble I'm just saying highschool dropouts are more likely (again not all of them) to get in trouble then a college graduate Actually for once logic would work but no one has common sense anymore (it's exaggerating chill, some people still do) and everyone has to be like the people they see and be a statistic that 30% that graduate are probably the ones that actually want an education and don't want to be a high school drop out because it's cool (again I need to point out their are probably some in the 70% that want that but struggled and ended up just giving up I know that.) people don't drop out because their are more prisons then colleges, more prisons are built because more people are dropping out then college
why do companies got to make bullshit videos i hope the lady in the back was labor tracked since the guy was totoally in her way while she was trying to stow it would be unfair if she was on rate since the guy was doing his interview right at her station.
but do they let an intuitive neural network decide where what is stored and who gets wich orders to complete it woul propably learn way more than this guy. lol ai ftw
for all the fuzz amazon does not have technology of the 21st century. its processes are too complex and unsustainable. it'd better watch out for real competitor with the tech of the 21st century.
what seems good turns out bad, what never expected will become obvious. what I said is not an “expert” critique. rather, just a food for thought. for one thing, everything being taken from seller, to the hub, then to the customer is a cumbersome process. no doubt, that amazon is taking over and there is a lot of hype around it. hands down its tech is way way ahead of wal mart and co. but what amazon is pretending to be, the provider of the future, is way way beyond its capability.
my days are numbered as a forklift operator!!
Are they already using this robot in your center ?
Get into school and learn to repair the robots or code.

Very impressive! Moving to a system like this had to be such a learning curve. Glad to see Amazon so nimble to change for innovation.
Best and most in demand job in the world now after watching this is Robot repair man.
actually, they probably have robots to repair the robots...LOL
With 40 orders a second during the busy season, I don't see how they could be so efficient without these robots.
I shop online all the time and Amazon is the best, The item purchase arrives safely and on time and every items are tracked making the whole experience run smoothly. Now I can see why :) no human error ;)
I love working at Amazon this is the position that I do at Amazon here in Jacksonville Fla
The interviewer's a Terminator! Thats how good robots have become and R2D2's family tree date back to Kiva.
I just cancelled an order with Amazon. The delivery time was 2 months off so I bought from a small company in a town of 7000 pop. for $33.00 less and 3-5 days delivery. Watch out that Amazon and Wally World don't slime you when you aren't paying attention.
absolutely amazing! I'm all about reducing " friction" and this is just amazing👌💪
I feel like this interview is the reason my order didn't arrive on time.
this is amazingly awesome. true ingenuity.

Unlikely. The 'suits'/paper pushers have always been the clever ones and managed to keep their jobs.

They should just make a robot to pack the boxes and put them on the trucks so there’s no drama in the warehouses but I think they like it
we don't need no stinkin' jobs here in 'merica. use robot workers & outsource everything. a real recipe for success.
Well considering robots dont bitch complain moan and call in sick like real people do then yea. Makes sense
That's because Americans are spoiled, whiny and lazy, and always want more money and work less hours......
And don't forget always want more money, more benefits and work less......
This reminds me of that song 'In the year 2525'
Did we even get any info on the robots or just an infomercial on same day delivery?

are these robots using battery power? how do they get charged?

Amazon has been lying to me. My package didn't arrive and it was express shipping 😡😡😡
And Amazon is hiring thousands of people in the next 18 months?
This why Amazon will never turn into a profit in the short-run

It cost 10 calories of fuel to produce 1 calorie of food, I don't know what the energy cost of those robots are but I'm willing to bet its alot less
Oh? Energy to produce plastic, refine metals, power the manufacture of, ship them, and run them for years = a lot less?

I trade the stock market and I will be shorting it very soon because there will be a collapse coming soon and all of your 401k will be gone with the wind but I'll be making money on the other side of that trade.
I don't entertain the musings of others when it comes to collapse forecasts. So many have been wrong over the years and the market is a complex continuum.
Basically, efficiency is good, but this is dehumanizing society. Brave new world.
every robot built is ten more employee fired and replaced #theytookourjobs
Lol way to go robots hahah humans make mistakes robots don't so stop whining
+PrincessTS01 Amazon robots have taken 0 jobs the people that pack your items have to run and go get it all they do is cut out the running and if you want to think of it it also created jobs because now they have to hire someone to build, maintain, and improve the system. So not less jobs more jobs! and easier on the people working for amazon.
Brandon Sheaffer there are far too many uneducated poor people for that to be really true in practice, here in the ca, usa when like 70% of people drop out of highschool, california builds 22 prisons and only 1 new college is it really a wonder why people are pissed off
+PrincessTS01 California is not everyone, Amazon has these robots so their is obviously someone building an maintaining them.. As much as I would love for California to be everyone it's not certain jobs are for certain people. Not everyone is cut out to work industrial robotics and that doesn't mean you have to go after that carrier.
As for the argument of California if let's say for sale of numbers each high school graduation class's has 100 students if 70% drop out that means 30 kids graduate then so why should their be more colleges built to teach 1,000 people and only 30 graduate it don't make sense. You can't get into college without graduating high school unless your a child genius. (Since this is 2016 I have to state that my next statement is not saying California is crap or all high school drop outs end up in trouble) but if you do look up your stats drop outs are "more likely" (not all will) get in more trouble then a college graduate (yes college grads get in trouble Ik)
So if more graduate high school more will be more likely to go to college needing more colleges and the need for prisons will go down (again since this is 2016 I know not all high school drop outs get in trouble, and I also know college grads can easly get in just as much trouble I'm just saying highschool dropouts are more likely (again not all of them) to get in trouble then a college graduate
Actually for once logic would work but no one has common sense anymore (it's exaggerating chill, some people still do) and everyone has to be like the people they see and be a statistic that 30% that graduate are probably the ones that actually want an education and don't want to be a high school drop out because it's cool (again I need to point out their are probably some in the 70% that want that but struggled and ended up just giving up I know that.) people don't drop out because their are more prisons then colleges, more prisons are built because more people are dropping out then college
Did not meet any robots ?
no these bots are to elimnate paying a employee hourly wages plus benifits.. no real benifit to the customer
someone will hack them eventually...
didn't see a single robot... whats up with that.?
Amazon...! Where we'd rather employ robots than you!
He just had to mention church
I find this some what disgusting. I don't think I will be using Amazon any more.
4차 산업혁명,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Highly depressing company to work for.
why do companies got to make bullshit videos i hope the lady in the back was labor tracked since the guy was totoally in her way while she was trying to stow it would be unfair if she was on rate since the guy was doing his interview right at her station.
this is bad... screw the people says amazon.
Too inefficient.
but do they let an intuitive neural network decide where what is stored and who gets wich orders to complete
it woul propably learn way more than this guy. lol
ai ftw
Army of Amazon robots???? All I see are two men jabbering at each other. 👎

for all the fuzz amazon does not have technology of the 21st century. its processes are too complex and unsustainable. it'd better watch out for real competitor with the tech of the 21st century.
+ilyosjon nishanov What do you mean? Amazon seems in advance compared to competitors with really structured, organized process
it is too complex.
+ilyosjon nishanov but it works smoothly, it makes it easy on the workers and simple to learn.
what seems good turns out bad, what never expected will become obvious. what I said is not an “expert” critique. rather, just a food for thought. for one thing, everything being taken from seller, to the hub, then to the customer is a cumbersome process. no doubt, that amazon is taking over and there is a lot of hype around it. hands down its tech is way way ahead of wal mart and co. but what amazon is pretending to be, the provider of the future, is way way beyond its capability.
Very weak video. Would expect much, much better from anything dealing with Amazon. This is actually rather terrible.
Most manual labor jobs will go first
