Amazon Closure

Jim, I'm guessing you never worked there. Try that team work speech when everyone there is scrambling to hide or save tote carts, or someone is sitting down in an aisle with stuff spread out blocking the aisle and and thinks that's okay. Performance evals are based on your individual stats and goals. Yes, if someone is intentionally causing problems, they will hear about it. And yes, it's still an option for next year.

restless, i agree with you it only takes one ass to ruin a good situation.

"people have to drive so far" ?? the campground I used in Coffeyville was across the street, and I walked to work.
I loved the job there as a picker, just couldn't tolerate the stowers not following the rules and intentionally clogging up the aisles. Plus I didn't want to risk damage to the trailer with what seems to be constant storms coming through there, and damage from temps below 20 degrees.

Amazon is part of my plan for next year unless I hear too many reports of people not getting any hours. I'm hoping they'll open up a more southerly warehouse to workampers.

Maybe Amazon should not be part of your plan at anytime considering your statement above. To me it does not show a good cooperative team work attitude and singles out one class of workers as bad workers that are rule breakers.

I suspect that Amazon is having a hard time getting workampers. Another issue is that Amazon can't get along with local RV Parks and people have to drive so far. Cuts into the money earned. That was certainly a factor in me not going to Coffeyville!!!!!!
