top reasons why people get fired from amazon | Working At Amazon I've worked at Amazon warehouse for 2 years now and for my time working at Amazon I've seen a lot of people come and a lot of people go, also herd a lot of stories from former people who worked at amazon who told me their stories. Working At Amazon can sometimes be challenging but I think working at Amazon warehouse is a great opportunity.

Hi, I was wondering how do I become a pa? I am already working at Amazon
You can apply for the position on job finder in your A to Z if the position is open, I would talk to your AM and ask them what would be the steps you have to do to get in position or just submit your resume. Here’s a vid I did that kinda gives some tips “th-cam.com/video/NuIAUcV4D1A/w-d-xo.html”
@@S.B. thank you so much I appreciate it!
Dude, social media is deactivated between GM and supervisors. I've had a coworker try and date me, (not in Amazon) and I politely declined and said I love where I work. I refuse to 💩 in my dog house.
Amazon is trash
“Your fired”
“What?! Why?!”
“You took 27 breaths during your break. You’re only allotted 24”
Hahahaha naaahhh fam they don’t do that lol
@@S.B. pretty close
How to succeed at Amazon
1. Go in, do your job, and shut up
2. Don't worry about trying to move up.... Just do the job you are assigned and good things will happen
3. Amazon is paying decent money for the work you do..... More than minimum wage to take things out of a tote and put into shelves that are brought to you..... Just do it
It's actually an amazing place to work. I worked in restaurants for 20 years and will never go.back
That job is ass standing there for 10 hours u get fired bc u not working too fast all u do is picking. Then u be like when u get fired u be back 90 days I'm definitely not going back to there there check sucks
@keylanwoods9689 have you.worked elsewhere? It's SO much easier than most jobs. And daily pay, UPT, PTO, it all makes life easier. Good luck elsewhere but its way nicer here than 90%of the other dozens of jobs I've had
@@KarklinPumpkin yeah I'm actually with a company that I go to the shipyard and I just be at the docks and clean bathrooms and break rooms it really good pay and good benefits but sometimes it just when I work at other warehouse I remember one job that I was doing and It was the only job that I was getting 40 hours of week making 13.50 to 14 but since I had work other warehouse previous my hours have never been the same when I go to higher pay rate
The best story I heard was a guy calling in to say his mom died. Well, the company I worked for sent flowers to the funeral home only to find out the story was a lie. Needless to say he was fired when he returned to work.
SMH the lengths people would go to is crazy lol
Why would you lie about that? Just call in even if you get a write-up for that.
@@ElMCH-vb7xv Really? Then why do most companies pay their employees for bereavement when a family member dies?
@@jdgolf499 because its part of the labor laws
If it was Amazon you'd have to bring in the news paper proving the death of the family number.
Another top reason why people get fired at amazon is that HR gives out mixed messages . and vague answers. I bet you a ton of people got fired because HR says one thing and management says another
I have seen that a few times as well, great point.
Easiest job of all time just get ready to deal with the weirdos that work there
Easy money!! 💪🏾
It is mostly managers!
Yup@@JonnyD-gl7cn
My nephew cussed out the HR lady and his operation manager. Six months later his operation manager applied for a position at his job he didn't get the job
That’s crazy
Amazon did its job for me while I was in college living with my parents. When class was in session I worked 20 hours per week; in between semesters I would work as much as possible to pay for tuition if I didn't have Pell grant money.
Once I graduated, I moved on due to lack of room for advancement.
Compared to working at UPS, I’ll take Amazon any day. They actually care about your safety. I have young kid’s complaining about how Amazon is terrible and want different jobs, I always tell them Amazon is pretty easy compared to other warehouse jobs like ULINE. I’m 28 and come from a military background and man are the people from my generation and younger generation have no understanding of work ethic but working for so long, you can pretty much can tell who will last or leave.
Right!! Amazon is def. better IMO lol
They love mindless grunts like you
Amazon better but there safety team is 🗑️ I'm going through the most right now with them. They don't want you to go see your own doctor they would rather have you use there AmCare which they aren't certified doctors. I'm to the point where I'm going to take legal action.
This injury has happened to doing the same job since last year of July I never get "job rotations" reason why my neck and back is messed up. I never "VTO" but have been to save my "UPT" and "PTO" hours. Since I got hurt it seems like I'm the bad guy now they don't like when you speak up verbally but rather yet have you write on the "Associate Voice Of Board" I work at the Amazon HUB in Roseville , CA.
I can attest to this having just worked peak at UPS. Awful experience.
I'm at a amazon warehouse in Georgia. People are getting fired left and right.
1. Trying to work a shift that's not on your schedule is getting people this and last week.
2. People stealing snacks from the break room.
3. Time off Task. A girl went into the break room for 1 hour, and then walked to the other break room, and then came back to the first one. They will get her eventually.
Just come in and do your job. It's really not that hard.
I've always wondered why so many people I knew were getting fired at Amazon. It made me think twice about applying, but now I'm definitely considering it.😎 Thanks for the video!👏👏👏
Aayyeee 🙌🏾🙌🏾 thank you much for the support glad you enjoyed it!!
That’s exactly what I said in the video.
People get fired for not meeting rates which is tough since ur constantly moving 12 hours etc
It was my 3rd day on my own and I stowed a bag full of 20 beer cozies. Well the bag was supposed to be opened and the cozies stowed individually. So it counted as 19 errors against me. They told me I'm allowed 1 error every 1000 product. They told me the error was so bad I went from 0 write ups to my 3rd one instantly. Dude said for 90 days I cant make a mistake at all and asked what my plan was. I told him I'd straighten up. I worked the rest of the week purposely doing shit wrong then quit. Fk Amazon
Yea that doesn’t sounds right at all you definitely should’ve fought that, sorry to hear that hopefully all works out well.
Amazon typically gives a 30 day learning curve for things like this. Your attitude and mindset account for a lot.
Ya new people quit all the time if they tell you something just keep working there not going to fire you that was on you
There is a 1 item per bin error maximum. So even if you technically missed 19 items, it's a maximum of 1 error. Idk who gave you an instant third write up but it sounds like management was as bad at your facility as it is at mine. For perspective, I've gotten write ups form management where they literally didn't know what it was for. Of course, they couldn't do anything about it today but the manager promised he'd investigate and get back to me. He came back alright, with another write up. He didn't know what the second one was for either. 😂
@@nickh2053 - No they don't...I was written up after 20 days...I quit a few days after that.
I worked at Amazon for 5 months and I left because I was assaulted on my shift and management did nothing about it. I was so upset, so I left and never came back. I should have stayed and given the the person who assaulted me another chance to assault me. I would have called the police and pressed charges.
Sorry to hear that that's definitely unacceptable hopefully you got something else even better.
I had started yesterday as a new hire and the leaders was showing us around man I seen everybody just standing there not doing nothing but talking
Working at an amazon warehouse is definitely NOT a great opportunity. There is really no chance to move up no matter how hard you work and despite being a top performer in every single path. Maybe some locations are different but others there is just no chance unless some incompetent manager just happens to like you a lot. Sorry, just stating the facts
Thank you much for your opinion and support💪🏾 all opinions are welcomed!!
There is a chance but you have to be VERYY proactive. And tbh favoritism is huge. I've seen my PA kiss up to managers so they can write letters to recommend him.
Mqy1 is nit like that 2 months and I'm a ambassador too a afm we are number 2 in the world for picking
@Hysterical_Turf Gaming yea that’s in certain areas lol
@Hysterical_Turf Gaming If you work amazon like a career. You move up. I've transferred to the main hub in my area. Been there 6 weeks now. Had positive write ups putting me in the top 3 percent of the building. All these things come into play. How many reports or write ups. You gotta play the game.
I think in my year of working at Amazon I love how the younger crowd blows through that upt and then complains about it later during peek seasons
Right! Lol never gets old!
As an Amazon worker in Michigan, I say this is not true for me. I work the night shift (12 hrs)strict on is sitting on the work table or the floor. If a manager sees you doing it more than 3 times, you will be written up. And enough times you may be let go. But most people leave on their terms so like if a guy was use to being a driver previously, and they end up being a picker, they'll decide to move on. And that's fine with anyone.
Work at a couple different fulfillment centers, comma the 1st one during training our ambassador was sitting on the yellow totes and told us we could sit down when there was no work. At the 2nd facility I worked at it was an automatic right up if you were caught sitting on a tote.
From my experience the Amazon I work at keeps terminating people and keep hiring new people for no reason. You got too many people working there and not to mention they fire you for behavior, rates, and productivity. Everyone I’m familiar with do stowing and get written up because of their rates and the items that are coming out of the conveyor is only giving them big items and need like a mix of small, medium, and large items in order to keep there rate up. Everyone keeps talking about finding another job so Amazon ain’t all that great. There’s favoritism, no fairness, and young managers that are in their 20’s and incapable of being one in the first place
Sheesh that's crazy!
@@S.B. ikr
I wonder why they do not calculate the rate based on package size, weight, and any other considerations that make some packages harder than others.
All I have to say is watch your 15 minute breaks. I got my final write up for being late from my 15 minute breaks, so these days I just go down grab my coffee and go back up to take my break at my station. Remember that it takes roughly 2 minutes to walk from the break room to your station. That means you have ten minutes in the break room. It is best just to stay at your station honestly.
I've been hearing that a lot from a nice amount of people def. seems like they're cracking down.
Are you allowed to stay at your work station
At my Amazon jfk8 u get 5 minutes walking period from ur break room to ur station
I work at Amazon, and I’m always borderline 1-2 hours of upt. But I live within walking distance of my building. So I don’t worry about it.
Going to the bathroom within a 3 hour period is an easy way to get fired.
My friend, you had me laughing with your great personality. In my many years of working , bad attendance is never tolerated. Great video
Thank you much for the encouragement and support Richie!! I’m glad you enjoyed it!!
ive been negative upt 2x in my amazon rn. im -1upt rn lmaoo, just call or email hr and think of a good covid excuse, say u had to get a test (you might literally have to get a test but they will return ur upt)
I've been working amazon for three months now and all my peers are one month into the job. The boss is trying to fire me and I think it's because I've been working for too long. Today I was given a warning for not working for one hour even though I was working all day without even stopping for water. I asked everyone around me if they saw me standing around not working for a hour and my peers backed my claim. I as still written up and I believe they are trying to fire me. I'm pretty scared. I knew I shouldn't have trusted another company again.
SMH I wouldn't sign it and dispute it with HR that's pretty crazy man, hope all gets straightened out
@@S.B. thank you for the advice. I will definitely be going to HR.
This video took me out! I've been working here for 6 months now and I've already seen a lot of these reasons. Still haven't seen a pallet jack skateboarder.
Hahahaha speaking nothin but real at least from what I’ve seen, glad you enjoyed it! Getting ready to post “favoritism at Amazon” in like 2hours we touchin every subject lol.
LMAOO my old ese from homedepot did the pallet jack scooter😭
Tomorrow I’m going to do an interview to be an Amazon driver but my goal is to work hard at this job no matter what so I can get a house to have it for rent when the cash flow come in big I will quit working at Amazon.
That was my plan coming into Amazon as well!! Work all that ot loans typically look for two years at 1 job use two year to get everything in order, save then once it’s time go for it!
@@S.B. sadly I didn’t got the job but oh well other will help me for sure to get a house to rent.
I have worked at the sortation center and currently work at AMXL.
I've always gone to the restroom and never once had anyone come after me for it. I probably had a few minutes worth of tot if I took a little longer yet, still nothing.
Feels like to me it all came down to if you actually did your work and don't make a habit of being a slacker.
I’ve worked for all 3 buildings in my area and from my POV IMO it all really depends on the location and the people you have above you and around you as well as the tasks you are doing. I’ve seen people in lead roles get fired for something as simple as checking their phone on the floor after being with the company long enough to move up in to that position, I’ve heard of people being fired left and right. You go in and day to day literally the faces change and people disappear and then you hear of stories of them later being fired for different reasons. The best thing you can do is like he says, do your job, stay within the safety guidelines and watch your attendance. I’ve never been written up for anything but I’ve always hit my rates, always worked safe and never went negative on UPT.
SMH getting real out here, lets def. stay on point fam! Good info Ryan!
Upt?
This is why I strive to teach my kids responsibility, too many people have become lazy or have never been taught to be dependable and hard workers. It truly is a mind set. You have to strive to be better and that is why school matters folks. If you don't want to be stuck working at the ground level of Amazon or wherever, you have to put in the work, yes some people are more fortunate that is just the way it is, but if you put in the work, are dependable, and always looking to make moves up the chain the sky is the limit. I work for a large bourbon brand and I started out as a Temp who at the time was never considered for full time because we were expendable and if we didn't have the resume and experience to go full time from the jump they would literally look down on you. So I made it my personal mission to go in everyday rolling 600 lb. barrels from 6 a.m. until 4 p.m. I pushed myself every single day to out work every other person until one day the Warehouse Supervisor pulled me in the office and told me not to say anything but that HR wanted to speak with me. I thought I was in trouble, then once I got their I was greeted with a smile and told, "So you're the one we keep hearing great things about." I was relieved but still nervous until she told me they wanted me to put my resume in and asked when I could test. It worked out that I had a month before I could get in for testing because it was done a the local college. I studied up on everything with regards to math because they test everything. I passed and was called and congratulated. Guys this job was a once in a lifetime job with great benefits and higher pay than I had ever made. I was the first Temp to be hired ever. Most applicants had degrees, or years of experience with top end companies. The point to this whole story is if you are willing to put in the work, show up and strive to make the job better for yourself and those around you, you can accomplish anything you set out too. I now have moved up through the company and can go anywhere in the industry with the Experience I have. If your in a dead end job or your not happy in your current spot you have to go out and find it. Always learn as much as you can and move around to gain experience. You will eventually get wherever it is you want to be so long as you are a good worker and contribute to the team. If its not in your area sometimes you have to make a move. Give it hell either way and I wish everyone the best.
Cool.
Nuh uh
I remember a time where I was at 0 upt. And lasted a whole peak without going negative . Tip is go home shower , come back to work in the parking lot and sleep . Lol 😂
Hahahahaha that’s funny, man I had to go a month and a half on 0🤦🏾♂️ was some of the most stressful times smh lol never again! Lol
I used about 14 bereavement days, a few week of paid covid leave, a week for unpaid covid test, receiving 80+ upt from hr (used all of it asap)Be in the br for an hour😂. You actaully can have a lot of chances depending how cool you are with pa’s and managers. I threw a giant ball of plastic at my boys head and my manager told me i shouldnt do that infront of him 😭😭
You not lying about that lol I’ve seen people get in good and just be doing what they want lol. Butttt someone else in leadership could see it and call it out real quick be carful 🤞🏾💪🏾
@@S.B. yea i definitely stay away from certain people and big managers but other than that its not bad, it just gets very boring and repetitive sometimes. I still work there (unfortunately) i just hit my one year, but i am on a short work break rn and go back in 2 months
check out my amazon shorts on my channel, little glimpse of what we do lmaooo
I just laughed so damn hard I farted 😆
Yeah Amazon is a dead end mess. Here in TN I have applied for an open IT job at my warehouse 5 times. I AM OVER qualified have ALL the degrees and certifications required. THEY NEVER hire up internally. Its maddening.
Can’t lie it does seem like they hire waaayyy more externally than internally, hope you get to where your trying to get to fam 💪🏾
How dare you use the restroom, fired! I have worked at 3 different Amazon locations, I'd never had an issue being able to take restroom breaks. I know it happens but I feel like that's one of the biggest misconceptions about Amazon. Otherwise it's like any other company, you break the rules, your absent too many times, then yeah they're gonna get rid of you
That’s a fact! Same! Nvr seen no one get written up for that lol but your absolutely right especially if you keep breaking the rules won’t last long.
@@fpshobbs I used to work in the field for a utility company. I would always use the restroom at Lowes, Home Depot, Target, or Walmart - they’re everywhere. Restrooms are upfront near the entrance. Easy!!
You have to get a Accomanation from your doctor saying you need extra time to use the bathroom I had got two get two twenty minute bathroom breaks. So I wouldn't get TOT I used to tell them what's the point of having a bathroom when we can't really use it? You tell us to constantly hydrate not only that the bathrooms be a mile away from your station by God don't let maintenance be there then you'll have to walk all the way to the next bathroom talk about TOT puhhhhhh .....
At my warehouse, you get 29 minutes of TOT for the night. Once you hit 30min that’s an auto write up. We have a 217% turnover rate off of Time of Task alone. Thankfully I’m an indirect worker so I never have rates but don’t bother making friends cause odds are they won’t last 2 months here
Thank you much for the support and for your opinion Collin! We gotta get what we can outta Amazon while we can 🤞🏾
@@S.B. yea man, I’m just laying low out here. I do my job and that’s it. I’m a lone wolf and I fly under the radar
That’s how I am right now at Corporate, nothing wrong with that at all my dude!
I thought 5 minutes between scans was bad!
I worked three days at Amazon Fullment Center, this is a true story no lies, they said, they was going to pay us for the 10 hours that we worked on Day 1, so I downloaded the A to Z app to look at my hours for work, to see if they was going to pay us, they lied 🤥. They took Unpaid time off of our 10 hours never paid us. To make it even worse they are so woke with everything, it just so sickening, it made me feel uncomfortable I was done after that.
Sorry to hear about your experience there! It’s different for everyone, hope you land your dream job!! 💪🏾
Oh man, I have to admit that skating on a pallet jack is super sweet and nice. I've had multiple warehouse jobs for many years and gently skating back after dropping a pallet was super fun. It's going to be a super bummer walking it back if I get an Amazon job, lol. 😆 But forklift racing? That's where I draw the line, that's crazy. 😂
Hahaha I’m glad you didn’t hurt anyone and good to hear you didn’t lose your job 🙌🏾😂 and yea once I saw that I was like yea racin on forklifts y’all don’t want a job 😂
I got fired for saying women aren't men.
Thats a lie lol, im 19 and Amazons my first job, the amount of bullshit I get away wit is crazy, I crashed my forklift many times, I had negative UPT for a HOT MINUTE and never got fired either. The amount of write ups I got would make you think I would be by now.
Do people get away with stuff definitely there are those cases but it’s rare and I wouldn’t keep that same track record going if I were you. I’ve been a PA for 2 1/2 years and seen plenty of times where people don’t get away with it.
Dude stop lying. I got fired for nothing. A coworker yelled at me. I correct that situation. I didn't tell at him nothing. I said we going to talk to one another like gentlemen. We exchange a few words, but we fix the problem. So one heard us and four days later I'm fired. Now I can't get any work from any Amazon. That wasn't fair. There wasn't a beef or anything. My coworker was upset because I made a few mistakes on pick to buffer we resolve it but so one that didn't know what was going on got me fired. Now I don't have any way to pay my bills. Me and my coworker were cool. No beef. The mess up thing about it is Amazon won't let me know who said those things about me. That person went to corporate. I did nothing but work my butt off and this is what I got. Like you said people come to work and play. I really worked. I fck Amazon they should've pull me in the office to talk. To see what the problem was. Just out the blue naw that don't sound right.
Stop lying? About what? And sorry to hear about that situation man.
I really wished you made an appeal, but your co-worker would still be fired regardless for yelling at you because they're strict. I hate snitches so much, that person reported you to HR and probably lied and said you were both cursing at each other from afar. I'm a stower too and I hate when people mix packages, but he should had never yelled at you. This is why I don't like associating with others because that shit can happen to me.
@@S.B. what about getting fired for headphone / cell phone use?
@@VybeX- its a rule were not even supposed to bring them into the building
UPT is a terrible concept. 10 hours? Many places allows 10 points (10 call ins)....that policy is setting people up to fail.
My bad...20 hrs every quarter...2 days worth lmao
I agree it could definitely be better for sure!
I said everyone with you at the same time. Amazon employee since 2019. 4 years strong. I laugh when people complain I say you did it yourself
Lol nice and since 2019 yeap you know how it used it be! Big difference.
I start tomorrow and I’m so so nervous. I get very hard on myself when I’m not quick or great at doing things bc I have a learning disability that makes me take a little longer to learn and get fast at certain things. I hope they are understanding and work with me if I end up needing a little more time to get fast and hit rates.
Hello. I’ve been working for Amazon for almost 8 months now, and I actually have a learning disability called dyslexia. My managers are very good at understanding that it will take me time to learn. It took me a couple months before I got into a pattern of my work position, my warehouse they move me around all the time so I’m always doing a different job every day. But my managers are very understanding that it took me a little longer to get the process of all these jobs. I was nervous too, but now it’s one of the best jobs I’ve ever had and I think that you’ll be great at it! Keep your head up!
What’s up Tammy!! First off congrats on your new job!!🎉 And believe it or not Amazon is BIG on catering to people with disabilities I love it because I’ve met some amazing people who on day 1 would say the same thing then they would speak to HR and they would accommodate🙌🏾 you got this your gonna do great! 💪🏾
Thank you for dropping that encouragement @Madz your awesome!! Glad it turned out good for you! Keep up the good work!
Update: It has been very nice so far. Everyone has been very understanding and nice! I do afe packing.
Afe packing nice! Congrats on that! Take advantage of it!! 💪🏾
Not wearing a mask and submitting fake vaccination cards are other reasons people get fired. During the standup, an OM mentioned that if you have to get asked twice to put on a mask, it's automatic termination. Anyone who tried to submit fake vaccination cards would also be promoted to permanent customer.
I wished I saw this video earlier...
Everything said in this video is true.
Prime Example (I'm a Learning Ambassador for Stower and Receivers if this helps from perspective):
In my building the minimum receiving rates have to be 100-105/uph. To keep things simple...a person basically has to scan 2-3 items a minute.
I've seen a person skip receiving the larger boxes (with 25 items in it) just to scan smaller boxes with 2 items in it. I've hinted at this person telling that person "Ya know that 1 big package you skipped was basically equal to 10 mins of work, right?"
That person could have scanned those 25 items...take a 3-4 minute break and scan another item because TOT doesn't technically kick in until around the 5 minute mark.
Instead that person is struggling to make rate while others average anywhere between 110-150ish ratewise. And PAs (Process Assistant) are on that person's case because that person is in the lower 3. (Being lower 3 consistently gets you coached and eventually written up.)
Note: I don't know if this applies everywhere. But in my building, 30 mins TOT for an entire day is a write-up and 45 mins TOT for an entire day is grounds for termination.
What's TOT? Is it like your speed? So the bottom one third of employees in terms of speed are the ones getting talked to? So if you are just average or even a little slower, you are still good?
@@TheAnxiousAdventurer TOT is Time Off Task or time away from your task. Your speed is measured in Uph (Units per hour.)
From my experience...as long as you are above the bottom 3 and making rate, then you are in good shape.
Make rate, ya straight.
Wait so how do you use the bathroom without it going to you TOT?
@@kiyannacarter3173 I guess you have to do it in 5 min or else it starts to affect that TOT. Unless they allow you to pause from your phone app for a bathroom break. 🚻
Thank you I’m actually considering applying for an Amazon job it actually sounds like a great job
I was off 3 weeks from work due to covid. They took my 10 hours UPT. Now I have -10 hours. When I called them to fixed that problem. They didn't pick my call.
Man, I’m sorry to hear that! Have you went up to the building? I know with Covid a lot of ppls time and leaves have been all over the place. Hope all goes well Peter 🤞🏾
@@S.B. I had bad experience with my HR. In my first day. I had problem with my Scheduel. And I went to HR desk for help. They told me to slove my own problem.
@@S.B.
I had a prove that I am covid positive at the time. Also had case with all documents to prove that I am ill with covid. They still take my UPT.
AI would try a different HR person, I’ve had to do that before when I felt like I wasn’t being helped
The don't give you 3 weeks off from covid. That was most likely your problem.
It's really hard not to stand in the red zone when you're jam clearing. They have one response...FIRED!!!!!
You literally have too! And That’s a fact!!! Hahaha gotta be careful with safety
GTDR should be on top 5 they don’t play about that. Don’t play around or miss something in TDR process. Me as Ship Clerk have seen things that could have been prevented.
Man idk if my building is just different, but my buddy had -40hrs upt and somehow got it excused. My building even called a lady back with negative 100 something hours. She was later fired for a racist tirade. My building will mostly fire you for safety issues more than anything.
I’ve usually seen that when buildings are new like it takes a while for them to get everything running I’ve seen that same thing like 10 ppl -60 -58 etc I’ve rarely seen that with mature buildings or, if it was right before peak and they are already low workers it seems like they’ll let them still work until after peak then bring it up lol.
The only thing I liked about Amazon was anytime pay because you can take 70% of your paycheck to your wisely card without waiting to get paid and that’s the money you accumulated for working 12 hours in three days
Nice
Don't you get paid weekly though? I feel like there's always money in my account lol
@@MrTophatreaper yep
i wonder if you have ever seen someone get fired for simply listening to music to help break up the boredom that comes with some of the jobs, and i mean just having 1 ear bud in so they can still hear everything.
Yes I have seen people get write ups for the ear buds not sure if I’ve seen someone not care and continue to get written until they’re fired.
I will always keep no less then 75 hours of upc at all times for an emergency.
I mean, i work at amazon for 5 years and it's very hard to get fired, the safety common Sense is embedded into you. If you want a relax rate? Work nightshift! as long as you're consistent and follow safety, you'll be okay! I am blessed with a laid back management and make sure you'll never get burned out. i tried many warehouses and amazon is the only place that fits me best. If you dont like your department? Transfer departments! Yes its tedious and it feels heavy weights on your feet. Getting a write up will hurt you and makes it harder to do your job, you don't have to meet rate, just be consistent with your time, that's all.
I've been there a month and I'm going to be resigning after I finish my last few shifts for the week. I hate being around immature people that graduated highs school physically but not mentally.. Work isn't bad just the people aren't it.
I hear you amazon isn't for every one for sure hope you get something you enjoy better.
I've been working at a fulfillment center as a picker for a few months and I keep using UPT just to go home early. I'm still over 20 hours but I worry that they notice I just go home randomly. I don't even have a blue badge yet, I hope it doesn't affect that.
when i start to work in my job, we had a some games in the break room, was a so good environment for work, we had differents shifts in two cycles, full time, part time. when we finished our job early, we could completed our shift in the break room playing Ping Pong, Domino, etc... when all the day goals was completed ... but after COVID19 some rules changed and the people feel like criminals in a jail. managers intend to make people work until they are exhausted without considering that they are working 10 hours in a row for 4 days in a night shift that ends after lunchtime .... who cares what i say... we are a number ...
Wow…. I definitely see where your coming from and I think it’s going to stay that way honestly as sad as that sounds and think we have things coming down the pipeline you may want to check my recent upload and the one I’m uploading tonight.
Wow hit home with this video going through right now !
Sorry to hear that hope all goes well.
How about reasons people quit? I worked there 2 times. Quit twice. Terrible training. Started my third week with a write up for errors stowing. From a kid 20 years younger than myself. I'd worked like 8 days. Including "training". Resigned the next day with h.r. wasn't taken off schedule and my upt went negative 50 hours. Called erc.
Round two never met my manager or heard her name. 3 weeks in got covid and med leave. Tried to force me back without giving me time for doctor, still sick.(covid drags out!) Got inhaler!¡!¡ came back to being picked for labor share?! Expected to drop my scan time from 15sec to 8 or 9 sec to achieve a steady 350 pieces an hour picking items? So backwards from stowing. Amazon is so rude! Once again my manager was a little 20 something girl. She didn't care how I was after covid. She hides in another part of the building in some super easy job. Meanwhile I'm 45 with bad knee can't jump from the picking platform to up a ladder fast enough to break a 11 sec takt time. She's tiny and young having no clue how to treat employees. The sick, elderly, disabled are working at Amazon being whipped about numbers. No jobs for them there. Don't work there unless you are very healthy like the video host or bring your medical accommodation list. You are just a number on some kids laptop. You can't just switch to day shift you gotta wait a month or more blah blah the computer blah blah the app blah blah vacation denied blah blah EVERYTHING IS YELLOW WHY!?
I think that would actually be a good video topic to cover, "why people quit Amazon?" I'll give you a shoutout when I record it if there's some reasons you would like me to specifically mention let me know! And sorry to hear about your experience it does suck when you have a inexperienced AM over you, and yea I agree the warehouse work is not for everyone. Thank you much for the support Noshy!!
Sounds like every other job in this county. Everybody wants a check for doing absolutely nothing. I want out of the transportation industry, but idk if I could put up with all the stupid. I haven't called off work in over 7 years. I can't do unsafe things at work or people leave the scene of the accident in a body bag and I go to jail.
Hope you find something good!
I got already 2 write ups for using AirPods. It sucks because how you going to work 10 hours without losing your mind
Definitely gotta be careful with that
my same issue.
Thx for making this video
It really made my day
I liked the energy
Unlike some other people saying that its all bad there
Them people probably had a bad experience and didn't even gave themselves a second chance or work hard
I'll be applying soon even tho i have no idea how's going to be like working at amazon warehouse
Because of the country im living in
I hope the best
Anyways buddy
Have a great day
Of course no problem fam! So glad it was able to encourage and help out! And you’ll enjoy it! Keep a positive attitude you’ll be good 🙌🏾👏🏾
I am a local truck driver, and I always feel so bad seeing the Amazon people outside in their little cage break area lol. Anyone who reads this who is 21 with a good driving record think about getting your CDL, I make 30 dollars and hour and no one tells me shit. As long as I make my pickups and deliveries on time, I could never do the warehouse thing longest I ever lasted was a month
Hahaha I remember sitting in those cages and yes... I remember looking sad lol. And thats crazy I was just thinking about if I should get mine, how's the future in that industry? And do you have to drive country wide to make a nice living or can you do local?
@@S.B. Well almost everything you use and everything you eat has touched a truck to get to you so the future is good, if you mean autonomy its not going to happen in our lifetime lol. Worry about that when self driving cabs are a standard in major cities and all warehouse stuff is automated. Local is highly preferred for most people, but you may have to do some over the road type stuff to get your experience up before local will hire you, I got on a good local gig after 6 months of regional home weekly. But you might get lucky. Over the road is mileage rate generally 2 weeks out with 2 days home. Local is generally weekends off, or like me now I work Sunday to Thursday OT after 40 and all that. And if you calculate time spent over the road for the pay and time spent local and everything involved you make more money for time spent locally, the going hourly for local is generally 26-34 an hour depending on several factors. You might make more OTR if you are in very high mileage rate over the road gigs, which want the same experience that local does anyway but you are still gone for weeks working 7 days a week driving, it sucks. The amount and types of truck driving jobs is immense. Different schedules and trailer types, hazmat tanker stuff, dry van, reefer, dump trucks the sky is the limit. Way more that I can type here, definitely start doing some research. My best advice to you is test out in a manual, get all your endorsements. Keep your driving record cleeean
The funniest part is the fact is now everytime you come to work you get more upt and people still get fired
Crazy for sure, gotta be responsible!
Our TOT is ten minutes before a PA is notified and we get like 30 min per shift some people get written up for having poor quality too but not others..
Yea gotta watch that TOT and quality 👀
I knew a guy that was recently fired from Amazon for wearing ear buds on the premises and it wasn't during break. He had been warned a few times but kept on doing it.
Yea gotta make sure you follow the rules.. especially after being warned, hope all turned out okay for him.
@@S.B. Sadly, the guy was a hard worker and got along with nearly everyone. One of the Ops managers personally escorted him out. If I'm told something the first time, I do listen.
The reason I got fired is because I don’t like how forceful my PA is and he thinks he can forcefully manipulate me to do work, and I’m thinking to myself I’ll do it as long as he shuts the fuck about it and once my first break is done i always check the board to make sure that my name badge was at the original station that my PA sent me to and if it’s not then I’m thinking, “maybe the PA wanted me to be there for a few things to be done. But I didn’t know it was gonna be for the whole entire shift. Plus I’m not charge of the standup board and all the operation and PAs are responsible for that shit.
Sometimes I laugh at there blame👉🏻 and frustration stress is because it’s never my problem. It’s the PAs fault including operation managers or supervisors. Everyone has there own bullshit to deal with and they take the blame on others and I never but up with baby drama.
Not only that but I was the best worker at amazon with a good rate I helped people with problem solve if a box was fucked up.
Today just got fired and I don’t my boss likes how I work.
Sorry to hear that fam hope you get something even better!
So whats the different between vacation and PTO? Ive never seen vacation time on my app. Vacation only for Blue badge employees?
Have you seen anyone getting fired for following company guidelines policies?
Once I over heard a driver tell a boss “I low key run out of gas of my delivery truck can I get $50 to fill it up” the boss just replied “you low key run out of gas” with a confused look knowing the trucks are refilled every day lol
People be tryna be slick SMH it’s sad lol, that’s life tho sad to say.
Could you get fired for being to slow as a packer or not hitting your rate number? Cause I just started as a packer 2 days ago and I kinda love what I do as a packer.
If you just started your actually on a learning curve and your not held to the standard rate until your out of your 4 week learning curve, once you finish your 4 weeks a AA would have to be in the bottom 5% then you would get asked if there’s any barrier’s that’s hindering your productivity if it’s not they would still offer help ex. A retrain/coaching etc. it’s a process before a person even gets a write up for productivity. 2nd day?? You got this! I didn’t get it until maybe a month and I turned out alright ☺️
I got fired for DOING MY JOB@ AMAZON..... They are being so shady that they won't even talk to me about it. I never took a day off, never called in Sick, as well I took other people's shifts when asked and delivered all packages on time. Van got stuck one time and I got pulled out in 20 min.
SMH that's crazy and sorry to hear that man I hope you get something even better!
I’ve had negative UTP before, but I’m a beast so they gave me a week to get it back to zero. Don’t do it though. If you’re not the Steph Curry of your department they will slide you up outta there.
Lol yea I've seen more than I could remember exit the scene because of that I would def. encourage don't do it.
Here's a topic you can talk about! "Why doesn't Amazon use mainly robots for the long , tedious work like sorting, packing , scanning ". The company is obessed with efficiency and cold hard numbers....robots can work 24 / 7, don't need to be paid , don't whine , don't revolt [ wait till Alexis become's totally sentient AI.....]. Maybe that'll happen in the future? humans just a temporary until they figure out how to input mainly robots / cyborgs whatever to do all that exhausting labour.
They actually do have robots that pack they just haven’t rolled it out on a large scale, but the bad part about that is, if they did just have robots do it, that’s easily 60,000 jobs lost.
That would be a great topic thought, the future of Amazon warehouse
If they did everyone would start protesting about their jobs
@@blacklyfe5543 Especially because they’re the second largest employer in America.
I work at Amazon and it's pretty easy job, interact with Coworkers, Manager are easy to get along, except I had a female manager, she was aggressive, but one complain I had the payment is too low.
Iam a EHS specialist and yes please don't do stupid things we don't want to write you up we don't want to fire you we don't want to yell at you but damn guys
I worked at a warehouse that would fire people for leaving the building on break...
Man... thats crazy
Bro, pallet jacks are 100% scooters not skateboards and you know it.
So far loving it been there 3 months in Baltimore,trying to get in Tom team by July and get my cdl 😎
Aayyee!!! Congrats on that!! And getting your Cdl, sounds official, keep elevating Norlan! 🤞🏾📈
Baltimore 💙I start at a fulfillment center I left the delivery center…..I’m so nervous but how hard/confusing is the fulfillment center ???? I’m so worried I will do it wrong and get fired someone please any advice on fulfillment center ?????????
Man i just got fired for supposedly missing a day that i was actually in the building for and clocked in and got paid for and HR is not responding to the ERC ticket. Smh this place is crazy.
What!? Is there anyone you can reach out to? Have you tried HR through A to Z?
@@S.B. yes I was able to get reinstated a few days later. HR was so confused. They had no idea what happened. Neither did my manager 😕
@@NaebyWaebyThey knew what happen . They thought you was gone be quiet like most people and go away
with the new policy on upt its almost impossible to get fired if you manage it and work your schedule after you use it
Would you get in trouble to use the bathroom during your shift like will they TOT you for using the bathroom
Can you get fired if you take a day off that’s already approved. And the reason they give is attendance violation?
You cant get fired if you already submitted pto on a 24 hour notice because it already gets approved automatically. Now if you decided not to show up at work without having enough UPT where you'll end up down at the negative that's where you'll get fired fire because upt gets automatically deducted if you were to decide to leave early or not come to work at all as long as you've been saving your hours
TOT is basically stealing time right
Yes, time off task. It shows when and how long your off your station not active etc.
my Manager said my store rate was low, and this is my 6th day working at Amazon and I just turned 18. I need this job, but I'm not a fast stower, I don't know if he'll fire me for this
You got this Elijah! If your on your 6th day your still on a learning curve if you feel you need extra training you should ask to have a ambassador come and help to give you some extra pointers and tips. But you got this this fam!
Sometimes which he didn't say is if they call vto sometimes they will take upt from u and u don't notice and they get people for that yea they tried that one on me I was like no maam y'all ain't gone do me like it wasn't the front people's fault for not making sure to put u down...so yea when they did it to me yea I keep my paper trail so open a case they found it was on there part not mine and I was good good so look out for yourself don't depend on Amazon workers or leaders to help in anyway shape or form at lest not the one in work at
That is a major fact! That happened to me as well and definitely wasn’t coo, but in the flip side each time I had that happen to they did give me the hours back, great callout fam and great advice keep that paper trail!!
I used to live on the edge with UPT for a whole year, and almost got fired twice for actually going negative😅
Then I got my shit together and starting being smart about saving and planning my time🤣
All it took me was one time almost going negative and I got my act together lol
What is that and what I can do to fix it ? What happen if a I dont write down anything ? 😢
I got my ankle spared from a basketball game. I required a week off and now they want me to show doctor notes or they will fire me. But I feel like I don’t care about this company anymore.
Yea you gotta be carful when it comes to going negative on UPT but if you really did go to the doctors if you take them or off you’ll be good. But to them I’m assuming if you don’t have a note it looks like it’s just made up ya know. And trust me my dude I feel you i hope everything works out for the best! And thank you much for the support!
NGL...
Amazon is great Job. It's really not like other warehouse for example... you get to stretch you body so all the body part can function properly. However, the only down side is that the night shift is mentally exhausting.
That’s a fact! Working night shift is definitely challenging!! But then again I had to push through it lol that night pay plus ot was testing me right! Lol. Thanks for the support fam!🤞🏾
i work the night shift 11:45-4:45 and it slows down a lot and the work is nothing its just mainly walking around. but just the time it is like 3am is indeed exhausting
Exhausting... (Graveyard)
My thing is my phone I can’t stay off of it 😩 i been warned a few times no write ups yet and I been there for 3 months and I wanna become a problem solver so I gotta be easy on my phone
That’s a fact because if someone sees you who doesn’t like you they can definitely use that to try and get you a write up.
@@S.B. complete bs we are on our phones all the time
@@S.B. i got terminated for being on my phone can I get rehired
@@marvie__g gotta get an appeal email from HR, im doing mine next week. i was fired for electronical use too but i still got the job done in a timely fashion

I’m so stressed out, a safety person reported me having an airpod in my ear and after the meeting they decided to consider it to the highest level to the point where it’s possible that I may loose my job because of it. I just want to know what are my chances that I will get fired? So far they have provoked my pit license & now I’m working in the Mezz. I’m currently using them for school and don’t want to loose my job for a mistake that I made that I can learn from.
I have no clue seems like you might have to stand by and wait on the decision they give you. Hope everything turns out well.
Do I have to worry about my coworkers or boss seeing what I order?😭 I start on the first and that’s when some… things… arrive😭 stg if they just hand them to me I’m quitting😂
Nahh your good lol and congrats on the new job!
Is it ok for me to work slow? At my own pace? I have gotten a stow rate of 700-800 my pick rate is 17 routes 4 minutes each. I’m tired now. But I’m afraid I will get in trouble if I stop going fast. I believe my managers got used to me going all out.
Aahhh yea that is something you have to be aware of I know it does suck but I would try to slow it down gradually, not like a complete shut off. And when they approach you most likely they will if you were a top performer just be honest with them and let them know your tired.
i don't understand hwy i have to get fired from amazon for racism when your kids run around in schools calling black kids slaves and stuff..
Bro i just got fired for taking a bathroom break manger was so pissed then they claimed I have been getting low rates and have to let me go wtf I was also in one of their technical school programs to moved up and they fired me holy hell wasted so much time here don't come go to Walmart
Man I’m so sorry to hear that Mike frfr that’s never good news to hear for anyone, I hope your able to get back on your feet and elevate even more than before.
Oh wow just two days ago? Didn’t realize that, at first. But yeah I might get fired because I’m in the negatives in UPT when I didn’t even use my UPT… I just simply didn’t come to work, to be more specific, I didn’t open the A to Z app at all to call off work and I still got down to the negatives 🤔
I'm planning on quitting Amazon soon once I find a new job I seen lot of ppl quitting bc thet don't know how or can't keep ppl
@@MicJackson58 when you don't come in it automatically takes your unpaid time, whether you put it in yourself or not. they also use unpaid time if you are late a couple of minutes
im deaf and i apply for amazon fresh i hope they hired me and it my first job too :(
I hope all goes well fam!
I JUST knew UPT HAD to be first on the list🤣 im chilling with 33 rn waiting for the upt dump on April 🤣🤣🤣🤣
You already know!! 😂😂 and Same! I went a month with 0 upt one time and learned my lesson NEVER again i with at least 30hrs at all times 😂

Great video! I have a weekend trip planned in October. My first day is Thursday. Would I get in trouble using my UPT after I start for the weekend I already booked?
If you have the hours you can't get in trouble unless you go negative
They do fire people like he said in the beginning of the video. They just do it more discreetly and call you to the office. It's why out of the 300 people that started with me, I haven't seen a single one of them in the last month or two
They do be threatening to terminate over everything cuz everything they learned how to run a company they probably learned from a youtube tutorial🤣
TOT (Time Off Task) is another reason people get fired. I also, will say when you bring non water beverages to the floor and food to the floor, you will get wrote up. Also, constantly going out for cigarettes or whatever. Also, not making rate, I just started in AFE Pack and they want 165 UPH, I am at 178/179, its easy. Amazon is amazing and is good thing for life ans success.
Definitely is, that's stated in the video as well and nice I was a PA for pack! Keep killin it and take advantage of it!
