I'm a stower and there's nothing you can do when you get nothing 90% big items and every pods coming in are 90% full and doesnt fit. and that goes on the whole day. they want you to stow 12 item per pod but dont want you to over stuff their pod that are already overstuffed.

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.

Top top priority is keeping your bags tidy and having good pickers with organised cages that’s all

It would be better if we could have a separate stow bag for boxes and jiffies. Sometimes boxes and jiffies be too much to fit in one bag.

currently stowing 230-260 on a good day 😭😭, , im gonna use these tips and see if it works

[Konfektionery]

When is stow rate calculated? Anyway to pause it when you have slow moments, talking to superiors, bathroom breaks or need to do anything else?

Edit: guess I should mention I work at a delivery station (stow packages for 8 hrs, pick and stage to delivery vans till we go home)

[lanternlife]

i would also suggest to go for cages that look like you can stow in either barrels or bat bins as those bins have a lot of empty spaces

[alejandrobustillos]

What could you do when you have a puller that doesn’t organize the boxes right ?

3:05 my location refuses to let us close full bags even when the bag is overflowing 🤦‍♂️

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.
