How to Apply/Use VTO and VET at Amazon
How to apply VTO (Voluntary Time Off) and VET (Voluntary Extra Time) using the Amazon A to Z app.
FAQ.
Are there any penalties for taking VTO regularly?
- No, using VTO does not result in any penalties that might involve termination or bad standing at the company, feel free to use it any time you need. That said, if you are considering a long-term career at Amazon (being promoted), your area manager may or may not take into account the number of times you use VTO.
Can I cancel VTO or VET?
- No, once you receive a confirmation for VTO or VET you CANNOT cancel this action. As an alternative, you are able to use your PTO (Personal Time) on the shift you selected for VET.
I don't see either VTO or VET opportunities available on my app
- Not being able to see options available means that your warehouse is NOT offering neither VTO or VET.
Is VET mandatory?
- No, as the name states, VET is completely optional
Do warehouses offer VTO during peak season?
- Yes, it is possible to use VTO during peak season. If and only if your warehouse offers VTO. Most locations will NOT offer VTO during peak season.
Is MET any different from VET?
- Yes, MET stands for Mandatory Extra Time, and you are required to work extra days or extra hours for your MET. That said, some warehouses allow you to use your PTO on your MET day(s).

amazon still got them cheap zebra brand devices that sucks. easily cracked, and sometimes not touch responsive.
0:24 thank you for this. I am seasonal and so it might not apply/work for me
When Amazon send me a message for VET. I can't choice VET why ?
0:31 Naruto would be the *BEST* stower ever! He could make 500 clones and clear an entire warehouse in less than an hour lmao
3:25 Even Lord Frieza got a job at Amazon lmao!
This video didn't help one bit. No discount code located on my A to Z app.
What if I have a purple badge?
What is vto anybody explain me
2024 this way is not work. The discount will sync directly into the Amazon account on the Laptop/PC and no need code.
How to increase your stow wait……don’t put on caustic and outline the bags with boxes upright and jiffy on top of boxes…fingerscanners are a joke
That's SOOOOOOO PATHETIC a TRILLION DOLLAR company gives it's employee a MEASLY $100 TOTAL discount!
Its not giving me a code :(
the parameters to get a discount is ridiculous.
I got 100$ but i don't know how to use it
Same
If I'm not mistaken, we can only use that for a 10% discount, but I still don't know how to use the code.
@@justAlex_04When you get the notice in A to Z that the discount is activated after you connect your account, the discount gets automatically applied at checkout. I’m buying an Apple Watch 10 right now and I see the 10% off employee discount applied without having to do anything else.
a lot of it is luck! Sometimes you don’t get lots of jiffies and get boxes instead. It’s all luck.
What should i do if forgetting the code?
Pickers that put wrong iems that belong on another aisle on rack!!!! Ugh. And stop stowing call, SUCKS!
The bag is only full when the computer says its full
I’m confused because i got $100 with off products and i think i ended paying $90. I thought the $100 were for free?
6:10 so basically you get 7.5 seconds to stow an item into a bin to get a rate of 480. How much is the stow rate, 400. If its 400 it would like 8 seconds to put one item into a bin. Plus you have to get the boxes where you would have to cut open to take out a item.
6:10 I don't think these are the main reasons. Bathroom breaks and being reassigned to a different location that takes about 10 minutes to get to because you have to be walking down floor levels and walking long distances would be main culprit. You really can't just take a bathroom break only once in a 10 hour or 12 hour shift. You would likely need to take at least 4 bathroom breaks during these 10 hour shifts and 6 bathroom breaks during a 12 hour shift. Your not gonna go to your bathroom break on your 15 minutes break because you have to drink something before you get your 30 minute unpaid lunch break. You get 15 minutes of break during your 5 hour shift than you get 30 minute break in between your 10 hour shift and i believe its 30 minutes of break after 6 hours in your 12 hour shift per day schedule. The building is so big that by the time you walk out of it your 30 minutes are almost up so you have to bring your own lunch or eat there unhealthy snacks. Yet amazon should be mindful of there employees and at least create an cafeteria where people can buy there own meals. Every big corporation does this so amazon could show some appreciation for its employees. That's the main issue with amazon that they have a 10 hour shift or 12 hour shift with high rate demands but the lunch break is too short of just 30 minutes though it could be 45 minutes or 1 hour because its not a regular 8 hour shift. If lets say you have an emergency that day where your stuck on the toilet, your bound to get written up and fall behind in the rate. In my opinion they should get rid of the 15 mintues break and give employees there 1 hour lunch break or let us have the option to forfeit out 15 minutes paid time break and let us have a 1 hour unpaid lunch break. Its not gonna make a difference in production. That way they get to keep the employees a extra 30 minutes if the need too.
I didn't know Musk works at Amazon. 🤣
This rack simulation was BS. Lol jiffies go in 3 bins on the bottom rack. Small boxes go on top and the bigger boxes and OVs go in the middle of placed inside the aisle for stowers to easily move onto their cart or to the OV shelf
They want u to average 310 packages in a hour..
Damn min maxers
How to get notifications for VET? I get for VTOs but not VETs
I'm still a yellow badge 😑
What could you do when you have a puller that doesn’t organize the boxes right ?
I would like to know if it's common to be responsible for 2 or 3 aisles at the same time in other distribution warehouses. They makes us do 2 or 3 rows at the same time which is technically 4 and 6 aisles. 21-24 or 21-26 for example. I really think it's an overkill for one employee.
Yeah I’ve worked at a couple delivery centers now and 3 is standard. But like the video mentioned try not to stay in the same aisle for too long. Do 70% of the boxes and jiffies or just leave enough space for the pullers to comfortably stack boxes. It can get stressful at times but you find ways to be more efficient
The stations I’ve worked at have an average of 3-4 assigned aisles. I once was assigned 5 lanes (11-19) when we were short head count. In all honesty I found it enjoyable, primarily because there were six of us doing this (we knew each other and cheered each other on), and no one was floating into my aisles because we were all just too busy with our own 😅 That said, it’s not something I’d do very often nor would I encourage it as an acceptable standard.
Yes , It is common to have 2 or 3 aisles. Focus on scanning as many packages and jiffies as possible. Think of it as a video game. Make it fun. You will have a better day.
We have 6 isles all day.
Comment if you just love working at Amazon cause I certainly do 👇
Don't you guys love when you have 2 items that are the same size but different colours and you get an error saying that the item is too small for that pod, even thou' you just put the same exact item on the pod? or when you don't get the 6" or 14" pods? That shit is aaaaasssssssss!
Tbh I just start out as fast as I can then once I clear my Isles I just start to go wherever I want lol idec if I’m assigned to my own isles I still check up on them then keep walking around my avg stow rate is high 300 to 400
We have 3 Containers for the Jiaffes.
This was the old standard now we have the smart stow bins this video is over 2 years old. I'm from the same station that the OP uploaded from.
It doesn’t want to apply for me and I’m not fucking making a new account just to get a code to work. Bezos buggin fr 🙄
Some people say TOT doesn’t exist anymore 👀 does anyone know if that’s true
Delivery stations are different from Fc. My location is 220uph, a lot of people don't hit it, they're still here month after month. Lol
My average is usually a 330 to 380 and our top stower is usually around 450 but he stows jiffys all the time....cheater lol
Ahhh.. so that's why I can't use my discount code. Because I'm still a seasonal employee. They never told me that before and there is a discount code listed under my profile. Except when I try to apply it, it wont allow me.. I thought I was doing something wrong.
it should work I use to be seasonal white badge employee and it worked.
I stow like 720 in a 10 hr shift
What code 👨🏼💻 are you talking about on the Amazon A-Z app??
Ok so I've officially stowed for a total of one and a half hours... What happens when I scan a jiffy for example, put the jiffy in the wrong bag, get the red notification and then forget wtf package I just put in. And then.... don't judge move onto the next package... Does that package get delayed for the customer? Sorry person! I'm going to do everything in my power NOT to do that btw I'm just worried about wtf happens.
I used to be a driver now I'm in the warehouse. As a driver they made you deliver the packages anyway. Even if it wasn't on your route for the day.
Amazon notorious $100 discount limit a year…. I’ve never heard of a company having a limit on how often you can use an employee discount, that’s cheap 🤨🙁
Woooow.. really??
It’s actually $1000 but im in California so your country might be different
it also wont apply to most purchases and doesnt tell you why. the discount is a myth. garbage. they could at the least give you Prime for free shipping. they can afford it.
I’m in Idaho, USA. I got $100. But I’m not full time or even part-time. I’m flex
@@brittm1468same I got 100 at full time
My average is top 10 or low 20s out of 50 ......and I just started lol
Do you have to set up an account with your Amazon login to use your discount code or can you use your personal account that you had before starting to work for Amazon?!
Yes you can use personal just add em to cart as u regularly do and you should see add “gift or promo code”
I’ve been getting bad information from credible sources. Thank you!!
I can’t believed I watched a youtube video on how to get better at a job as horrible as this one
Amazon has help me to keep fit.. Stowing department, also known as fitness department..
Facts lol very good job if looking to stay fit or loose weight
Because sometimes we got big items so what to do
any veteran stow rank here?
There is literally no way to do this where I work. We get counseled one day if our pods aren't completely full & then we have to have a manager look at our pods before we close them. Then the next day we don't need one as long as no more boxes can fit in them and that literally means NO MORE BOXES even the smallest. Then we are if put large boxes in the pods that don't fit even if they don't say oversize. Then we have floaters who put boxes that don't fit and you can't close any pods and everything is falling out of the pod and you're the one who is blamed. We have rampant nepotism. Anyone of color is pulled to be trained on something that will lead to a full-time or easier position. We have employees who are using dangerous methods of moving bags into empty pods at the end of the night but I was counseled for having someone training me to use a stow cart to move bags. The pickers constantly place items in the wrong buffers so you are running everywhere. There is literally no time to take a drink of water or go to the bathroom. Now maybe this is just me. I have a PhD in psychology & am literally doing this to train for a duathlon but it makes me sad to see hard working employees shredded who can't afford to lose their job while I am literally the only person who can walk off at anytime or have the ability to say how I feel or what I see.
YOU ARE CORRECT
Not so easy when some stow isles look like they’ve been bombed and the bags are just trashed. Boxes on top of jiffies and boxes sticking out of the bags. Diagonal boxes in side the bags 😂
thanks
250 amazon is 350 if u go under 15 seconds thats a write up.
