So, I’ve decided my job at amazon is one where I will have to change myself and some strong beliefs. Long story short, I spent most the night (time that counts against me) trying to fix the issue with no communication and making changes that if you’re not vigilant , and plead your case to HR, be penalized. Since day 1 I’ve been given wrong information and I showed up 2.5 hours early to orientation. Apparently they, without any warning and despite schedules being static, changed my schedule by 15 min. The time slot doesn’t bother me.... it’s that I got 0.5 a pt for being late. I was even there at 6:15 waiting in the break room! It wasn’t until I clocked in I noticed the issue.

I fought with my area manager about simply sending to a higher up that there is a lot of stress on new hires when information that shouldn’t change, keeps changing and leave you feeling unable to correctly and appropriately work. Well, he’d already talked to HR about the scheduling, so he wrote me off. He didn’t understand my issue was bigger than just the scheduling.

I had to go to HR twice that night, also confusion about payroll and problems arose with that as well. They changed my schedule back to 6:30 last night (mid shift) so I’ve got 0.5 points (they use a point system) against me. It’s not even worth the hassle of having to try to fix it. I’m supposed to know and work by changes that are not in any form documented. I really don’t know how I’m responsible for something when they don’t notify you. It’s like the area manager said about, problems. He can’t help if he doesn’t know.

Anyway, you can imagine just the stress level of having to talk to 4 people before I could even begin to be heard and get things fixed. HR told me, she had worked there 8 years and she’d love to say it’s better.... but it’s not. Covid has thrown them for a loop but communication is their downfall. I *may* have a meeting with HR again tonight. I’m over it. It’s not worth the fight. This is my first week, last day this week. I just wanna pick my items and enjoy my 3 days off. You know?

I mean professionalism is important to me and I guess I hold the company to a standard I’m not gonna receive. It’s a job, not a career choice. Just stop caring, MarcusAurelius.

Also just note it’s day 3 at the time, and all this spiraled into the fact I took ALL my breaks at the wrong time screwing up my “Time on task”, being penalized with points and having to beg to get them reversed. Having an issue with the first day and pointed for not clock in..... with a badge I didn’t receive or instructions to do so. I mean it’s just a lot on me. But like I said.... I’m gonna treat this for what it is. It’s **** but not worth getting buried in it.
