What’s next? After you get $20 you want $25 then $30 then $35? If that’s the case then nurses and telemetry techs and pt doctors should start out at $25 or $30. Working at amazon is awful yes but it’s not as mentally exhausting as being a nurse or respiratory tech or telemetry (ekg) Tech and people’s lives depend on you and you risk getting sued if you mess up.

    • @milanomartin5417
      @milanomartin5417 5 років тому +5

      Dre Hamraee Registered nurses on average make around $30/hr. They should definitely be making more and so should the other workers in the hospitals that are getting underpaid and making what Amazon is paying as the minimum now.
      Amazon is the type of company that will announce $15/hr minimum pay all while in the same breath announcing that permanent employees will no longer receive RSUs and monthly bonuses. Had they kept those incentives then I’d say they’re at a good position as a company. I was already making $15/hr last year (Reduced time with that $2.50 shift differential) before they announced the increase, then they decided to also get rid of my department on my shift. That would have been fine but they forced me to transfer to either day shift or a regular non-RT night shift. Also that occurred only into the new year, so I was enjoying my last couple of months making $17.90/hr. At that moment I didn’t care much about bonuses and VCP because all I could think about was that $17.90/hr on regular hours and $26.85/hr on OT and working on holidays. I worked most of last year with overtime so my checks stayed looking well. Another downer is that OT opportunities have drastically cut down because they’ve reduced the amount of work coming to us and making the majority of our inventory clothes and they’ve had to shut down a decent portion of space to have bins reconfigured specifically for clothing. Fortunately they decided to allow me to transfer back to RT so I’m at $17.90 but since there isn’t as much work I’m damn near forced to underperform to stretch work out the entire shift to make a full paycheck or leave early with a lower paycheck.
      Amazon is full of it and they been trying to show off for the media acting like their $15/hr move made them wonderful gods. 🙄

    • @milanomartin5417
      @milanomartin5417 5 років тому +1

      I work at a manual building and y’all numbers sound insane. Like I can pick around 400 for like a singular hour if I’m lucky and get sent to pick a lot of quantity picks in books in the same section. However my average is around 150-200 uph and that’s with me sprinting around a building. You’ll never know the pain unless you work in a building where the shelves DON’T come to you and you have to go from the back of the mods on the third floor ALL the way to the front of the mod far away from a conveyor just to pick ONE item, and then go right back to the same path you were picking on the third floor. Rinse, wash, repeat, and STILL be expected to make rate. Sometimes they’ll also have you go from one side of the building(over 1m sqft mind you) all the way to the other side with making your next pick in under 5 minutes. You use up most of your energy just doing the travel without picking a damn thing in between.
      Y’all gonna hate me because I’m gonna be at a 450 UPH when it’s expected at 380. I was at 225 UPH the other night for the first half(my luckiest night ever) and when I checked the rates everyone else was at like 110-150 UPH. I picked like 1200 and not a single person picked over a thousand. I was honestly shocked because normally on my shift there are like 5 people that pick over 1k in the first half and normally I’ll be one on a couple of nights while my last night I’ll fall behind slightly because of constant shit paths. This was me working VET(they haven’t offered this in months because of lack of work)
      I love to work hard and get good numbers, but I can understand how it feels to have rates raised. Sometimes it isn’t even about people themselves just being high performers. Amazon CONSTANTLY does things to make those numbers better, even if the overall scheme of things doesn’t make sense. For example there’s another Amazon warehouses two doors down that just prints books. They would print and ship the books themselves, but all of a sudden last year they decided to have them send the books to our warehouse, have our stowers stow them, have our pickers pick them, have our packers pack them, and people on the dock put them in trucks. That helped everyone’s numbers out and everything, but that made rates go up while the ability to get those numbers isn’t even. They like to stow the books at one location. Nights and days typically have different locations. Honestly I feel like days stows some on both sides, while the night shift just keeps it wherever most of the stowers are going to be. The like to make that same floor the one where much of reactive and replen is stowed. So pickers move from floor to floor, but sometimes pickers can remain on the same floor for the whole night. So when they’re stowing on the second floor I can easily pick extremely high numbers without effort, but when I’m at the first floor and maybe just one or two stowers doing replen and it’s been like that there for weeks I know I’m going to be sprinting and will make a mediocre rate for myself.
      I love a challenge but one of the most discouraging things is seeing yourself making a shitty rate in comparison to someone that had excess long picks and high TOT make a higher rate than you because they were just blessed with a good pick path/location. I swear the leaders intentionally lock that shit in specifically to ensure people slacking actually make their rate by the end of the week. Because they’ll let me be a high performer with good paths that seem to automatically come eventually, but then that last night it will be like I’m locked on a floor.
      I will gladly go to a robotics building and pick damn near 4K in a night. 🤷🏽‍♂️

    "There's not a lot of room for human error" .....oh you'd be surprised. I work as a Shipping And Delivery Support Associate and there would be deliveries that are sitting at these warehouses or delayed with no specific reason. Its frustrating having to tell a customer that we don't know why it's just in the warehouse and not already assigned to a driver for delivery.

    This is NOT a hard job. I've had far worse jobs. Amazon is rate work, and that's easy once you get what you're doing down, it's easy. That being said, i know every site is different. I'm a stower, it's cake. 6 seconds for smalls, 15 for heavys. We have to be at a 10 second tac-time for the day. It's just repetitive that's all. With that being said, i know every site is different and everybody experiences that. I'm in Tracy, Ca. It's the best.

If I do try a little harder and push my self I'll could get around 653 to 715 a hour. Easy job and know one bothers me. I just clock in do my job and clock out.
