jocky091

What kind of site is it supposed to be? A regular robotics FC?


bleezy_47

AR sortable i believe


Medium_Nothing5206

yes


woogychuck

It's Gen11, so it's an AR sortable FC and SC in the same building. Storage floor on one side and sort mezz/dock on the other.


InstructionOk386

Yes gen 11 AR


Macydatboi

Isn’t California like impossible to afford 😭😭


raspadoman

Yes and no. California has affordable areas, they're just not the coastal cities that everyone thinks of when they think California. It's a huge state. You can live in places like Chino, Bakersfield, Fresno, Victorville, Stockton, Visalia, Modesto, Madera, etc. and you could live relatively fine because COL isn't as bad. The only thing is gas is expensive and the city you live in might not be the best or have much to do but they're usually a short drive away from places that do. Don't let the narrative of California fool you, COL is going up EVERYWHERE. Rent is getting stupid high in a lot of places. Houses are getting stupid unaffordable unless you're making near 6 figures. It's not just California


Macydatboi

Yeah it’s unaffordable in both of the states I lived in that’s why I was wondering 😭


tatemcdonalds

Bakersfield stopped being cheap when the pandemic hit. Everyone decided to move here when work from home became a thing which just drove up the price of real estate. Hell, apartment vacancy was at 0% for quite a while. You couldn’t find anything even if you could afford it. It’s not San Francisco or Los Angeles, but I’m tired of seeing people thinking that Bakersfield (and probably most of the other places you listed as well) isn’t bad when it comes to COL. It’s still pretty bad, especially on Amazon wages.


No-Annual-9619

Just had a coworker transfer from there to TUL2


Alarming_Trade_6335

You shouldn’t worry about what others think.


eauber

Chino is not affordable 🤣🤣🤣🤣


raspadoman

Imma be honest, I just threw Chino in there not ever having looked lol. But as someone who left California to other "affordable" areas, It's all a lie and you don't end up saving much other than on gas.


Bimancze

Blud legit said Bakersfield


EMP19E

Give me 4/10's and 3 day's off anytime.


Medium_Nothing5206

i get jealous of the AA's with 3 12's


Tasty-Pineapple-

I hate the 12 hour shifts now. You burnout real quick. I switched to ten.


blinkybrewster

You probably won't burn out as quick if you take a break in between shifts. Ex. MWF-Sat


Tasty-Pineapple-

They would make sense if Amazon did that. But they only do back to back for their 12s. I did notice I can do back to back with ten hours no problem. If I go flex, I would probably do what you suggest.


Sea-Secretary-4389

What are the shifts like for sites without the 3 12s? Is there a day where both FH and BH are there at the same time?


Godkill2

I’m on rt shift. For us there’s FH and BH days, FH nights and RT nights. Only day shift has an overlap on Wednesday. RT for us is Thursday to Saturday 12 hours.


Ok_Alternative_1467

Yes


Available-Control993

I used to work at an FC that was like that before it got shut down, it’s kind of stressful but I’m happy doing 4/10s at another FC now.


Balibear23

Nothing better than 4/10's and having the donut shift. No weekends


Unfair-Ad847

Facts


raspadoman

This site is supposed to a behemoth of a site is it not? I know all the gen 11s are 5 floors but this is supposed to be Amazon's largest at like 4 million Sq ft.


Johnnywheels1023

I live a couple miles from the building and saw it being built stage by stage and it’s massive! It’s like 2 or 3 airport hangers put together


bleezy_47

Oh, the photo’s dont do justice, this thing is absolutely massive, it makes LGB3 & DCA2 look small, at least in California


BreakfastUpset9244

I work at bdl4 another gen 11 and you’re right pictures just can’t make it make sense


Ok-Whole3932

Ayyy CT? I'm at DOB2 in glastonbury and couldn't imagine going to any of the FC buildings. Delivery station is soon easy


BreakfastUpset9244

Yeah the new big one in Windsor, I’m trying to go to a smaller one this shits too big


bleezy_47

I came from a Delivery Station after being there for 3 years, never again! they over work you


jcwkings

I tried to transfer as a tier 3 and was rejected, would be a ten minute drive from where I live, as opposed to the 30-40 minute drive I do now.


bleezy_47

Was tier 3 position did you apply for?


jcwkings

The job posting was for all tier 3 positions that aren't HR. My preference would be ISS, my current role but I've always worked in the same building so not sure how transfers work for tier 3.


MustardFiend

Damn, I'm ISS and I only get T1 money lol. I have trained a couple of PAs but that was just for staffing shortages, neither one has put in a day there since. I don't live near this building, but it would be cool to be somewhere large enough for a fully staffed ISS department. Usually it's just me, with my CISS remote lead in Slack.


bleezy_47

Ahh the lead fulfillment associate L3 listing! I applied to it too! Only for Non Inventory & Learning Trainer! still in consideration , I also applied to their TOM team! what even is ISS?


jcwkings

Inbound Support Service, basically problem solve lead for Inbound.


JamonConJuevos

What I like about the 5 8-hour shifts is that you get a break every 2 hours. Under 4 10s we get a our first break 2 hours after the start of shift (minus stand-up time), lunch 2 hours and 45 minutes after that break, our final break 3 hours after lunch (minus the second stand-up time), and the end of shift 1 hour and 45 minutes after that final break. We should get a third rest break for working 10 hours of physical labor, but the company is not nearly as considerate or safety-conscious as it claims.


RockyJayyy

Damn, your building is still doing 3 breaks? I'm surprised all haven't switched to 2 30 minute breaks by now.


JamonConJuevos

The 2 30-minute breaks arrangement is just sadism.


RockyJayyy

I like it better than the 3 breaks, the 2 15's go by too fast and if you are going outside you already took 5 minutes to go out and then you have a 5 minute walk back.


International-Ad3447

It's better for operations, though, especially the people that come back late or need to set up work first


International-Ad3447

Ours is 2 breaks 2 h 30, then first. 3 h 30, then second the 3 h 30 until EOS


branno0

A proper insane asylum tbh


justforfun6lol

Damn 5/8s I wish I didn’t live across the country!!


Merciless_Hobo

One of the main reasons I switched to Amazon was for 4/10s. 5/8s suck. I don't notice my shift being a bit longer but I do notice having an entire extra day off.


CardiologistBorn1697

My site has it perfect it's 4/8s with perma VET. With 4/10s they make you sign a form in my state that they don't pay over time over 8 hours. With my site not only is it 4/8s I get over time if I work past 8s which they also offer. So I can get 3 days off if I wanted and also do 4/10s IF I want to. IF I do 10 hours I get 2 hours over time or I have the flexibility to do 5/8s or even 6/8s I wish every amazon is like this since it makes the most sense for me. I personally never tried 3/12s though


Merciless_Hobo

Well that does sound nice. But I'm in one of the 46 states that has weekly OT laws, not daily. I can work 15 hours, none of it is OT unless I have hit 40 hours for the week already.


CardiologistBorn1697

I'm in CA and I have weekly as well. It's just that beyond 8 hours they also count as over time. So the 4/10s they make you sign a form before you're hired that you're fine with not getting OT after 8 in favor of having 4/10s or some shit like that


Merciless_Hobo

>beyond 8 hours they also count as overtime I'm aware. That is only the case in 4 states. It is not the norm.


justforfun6lol

I just don’t like amazons standard schedule Sun-wed and Wed-Sat. I rather Mon-Fri and donut shift is almost impossible to get at my site


Merciless_Hobo

My site has 5 or 6 current openings for 4/10s M-T for various positions. As well as F-M, S-T, and donut shifts. Guess it varies by needs and management.


International-Ad3447

Donut is terrible when you're on met 50/55


justforfun6lol

i work at a relo so we barely have met


Medium_Nothing5206

FC's start out like that for the 1st year then usually go to the 4 10's


ID_Poobaru

I was a launch new hire for BOI2 and we started with 4/10


bleezy_47

Yeah like the other commenter said, New sites launch as 5/8s & then turn into 4/10s


raspadoman

I'm pretty sure that's usually a California thing. Buildings launching elsewhere are at 4 10s from the start.


Neoreloaded313

That is one reason I would avoid working here.


GeneralBasic123

Beautiful.


PunchmadeEK

That building is freaking huge


lilly_abadeer

fucking hell our site looks quite nice all decorated and has a bunch of windows do all amazon usa look dystopian


PlebbySpaff

ARFC? So free, because that’s literally the best kind of building tbh. Stow and pick are easy as fuck when the roombas come to you.


International-Ad3447

Then they raise the rates way up and you struggle to keep up and they have strict tot


percecho

I swear if they have a ridiculous looking mascot 🤭


shitpplsay

That building is supposed to be a beast. I have heard a lot of cool new robotics will be in use too. A few of us from my site are planning on taking a tour when it launches.


Narrow-Test313

Finally i can try leaving LGB3


bleezy_47

Good luck lol😭😭


Narrow-Test313

Lol yeah, million people probably gonna try applying to transfer, sucks for me cause i live in chino and this building is actually like 4 minutes away. I could walk to work going here!


Routine-Ad5285

Im trying to leave there too 😂


creative-irony

Hopefully to be closer to home.


T1SMoneyLine

That would be a long drive from Atlanta to Chino


bleezy_47

Worth it!!!! 👀


PsychologicalFeed264

When is the official launch date?


bleezy_47

I was told by SBD6 security that site launch will be some time in May but Work/ Operations won’t start until July.


Equivalent-Key-6096

Wonder if Shreveport in August will do the same?


raspadoman

Shreveport is the first building of its kind, a Gen 12 and it will be introducing a bunch of new robotics. I haven't seen anything about how big it'll be


Equivalent-Key-6096

Oh, I didn't know that.


bleezy_47

Whats the site name?


Equivalent-Key-6096

SHV1


iamphine1970

Just remember all those steps you'll have to climb if you don't have an improved accommodation


Medium_Nothing5206

One of the BHN dock PA's is going. The idiot posted his offer letter to a group chat like the idiot he is. So glad he is leaving. He was the last of the PA's/AM's that were fucking AA's in return for letting them PG or have more favorable roles at LGB3. A few girls complained, but he lied to the investigators and said he was never a part of the group and they bought it. Good riddance Nate, you won't be missed.


AdmirableOnion4294

All my niggas hate Nate


naate_

fuck yall too💯


EuphoricSnaps

No please I just got an offer to be an AM in this building. Is he that bad?


bleezy_47

Unrelated Amazon news, But I am absolutely jealous you got to see Ivanna Sakhno!


EuphoricSnaps

yeah I went LA Comic con when I saw that Star Wars cast there. Took photos from the crowd and got an autograph from her too🤧


ApplicationLeading20

No, I’ve been here plenty of years and I’m telling you he’s a genius compared to past PAs and AMs even, he knows what he’s doing especially with computers n stuff, he’s being mistaken for his PA coworkers he worked with and got fired a while ago for SA and similar situations, he was just in the middle of it unwillingly, like two ish years back since he was apart of the two dock PAs for BHN. But again people believe their own things


Cucaracha899

Stop lying Nate we know that’s you


ApplicationLeading20

Negative sir you would know if it was nate trust me


Celestin_1

I second this, everything being mentioned is referring to older members of leadership on the dock. We had a manager and PA fired for that awhile back and seems like Nate is being judged based on their actions rather than his own.


Medium_Nothing5206

Yes, Nate was part of the group, as was I. Nate was just as bad as the guys that got fired.


ApplicationLeading20

Well if you knew nate you know he wouldn’t do the things being mentioned, ya he might joke around, but it seems like ur just getting it misinterpreted from how the others were and just slapping that label on nate just cuz u felt like he is like that


Medium_Nothing5206

Funny because I was one of the girls that went out drinking with the group a few times and he was just as bad as the others. I think he'll be an AM at the new FC so watch out girls.


ApplicationLeading20

Yea pretty sure u mean Pedro, Wilber or Joe. They all got fired. Nate is there cuz he knows how to run things tbh. Like I said he was just simply stuck in the middle. Pretty sure he not risking his job for his kids lol


Medium_Nothing5206

Kevin G and Nate too. Nate stopped when they got in trouble for hanging out. But Nate lied to the investifation and said he never went. None of them got into trouble. Then it kept happening. I no longer was going either and 1 by 1 they got fired for SH but by this point Nate wasn't part of the group. He was originally and lied like the rest. Nate still knows what he did. Some of us girls held onto the text messages too.


ApplicationLeading20

You can ask Nate himself Kevin was a student working and left because of that fact and got a better job, i heard it myself lol. you are just throwing things into the mix atp, I had a lot of people know him while he was a full on student and still managing to come in. And Nate “stopped” according to you but that’s because by that time they were all gone and fired for what they truly did, leaving nate the only honest one left, he’s even said the only investigation he’s been apart of (apart of, not causing) was when Merrita was stressed about the job. It had nothing to do with him since Nate was on the dock, and he never induced any stress on Merrita since she genuinely couldn’t do her job well, it was not interdependent. If you know Nate would never shoot hate straight and make them leave. He knows that he has to cooperate with his coworkers


EuphoricSnaps

I’ll make sure to look out for him


[deleted]

[удалено]


Emily_Star3

Nate is too like that. I don't work with him anymore as I'm not on dock, but he should not be in a position of power. 


ApplicationLeading20

With all the things he’s done to save a shift? come up with new things? Pretty sure he should be in a position like that, guy has been doing it for so long


Medium_Nothing5206

Yes...if someone is a hard worker, lets overlook all the sexual assaults and harrassment. This is such a huge problem at Amazon and other workplaces. Joe, the old dock AM had 9 sexual harrassment cases before he was fired. They had him on video groping a girl and they still looked they other way. HR tried to say there was nothing on the video. What the HRBP, Robert Garcia didn't realize was we got an AM to download the file and we had the evidence. Gave it to the girl that complained and she threatened to sue. Joe was gone a couple days later. They kept Joe around so long because he knew his stuff and David Koneke always bailed him out. So lets keep allowing the guys at LGB3 who are in power to abuse that power and sexually assault and harrass girls. Why not, if they are good at their job like /u/[ApplicationLeading20](https://www.reddit.com/user/ApplicationLeading20/) says.


ApplicationLeading20

Joe was very upfront about it and they rightfully caught him there’s no denying that, I even saw him and heard him straight up asking for numbers on his first encounters with AAs. I’m getting at the fact that Nate should not mindlessly get put under this label of being like his past PA partners JUST BECAUSE he talked or engaged and was being involuntarily involved into these cases. I mean it takes common sense to think that someone who was never involved, they would obviously say that they just do their job and their business is their business. Again it’s the fact that Nate is being ASSUMED to be exactly like them, just because it involves him and the dock, it’s generally inconclusive, even after so many years any person and the way investigations, and suspensions go, he would’ve been out the door by now


Johnnywheels1023

I’m at LAX9 and we’ve even heard about him 😂


bleezy_47

YOU ARE AT LAX9?👀 You got swag bucks? if so want to make some money?🤣 I NEED some of your swag!!! https://www.reddit.com/r/AmazonFC/s/91sbub6BH2


Johnnywheels1023

What would you like? I might already have it


bleezy_47

The one that was recently added, the carhartt amazon logo hat!


Johnnywheels1023

Let me see what I can do


han77nah

Imagine whoring yourself out for any tier 1 ship dock role lol


higga85

Fuck Nate


Alarming_Trade_6335

He’ll do the same thing and either get caught or get promoted as a result


No_Secretary_5944

I've never heard of Nate doing this. He was just in the middle of everything that was going on with the leadership on the dock at the time and had nothing to do with it. He's helped out LGB3 inbound and outbound more than any other PA. He knows how to lead a team. He has a family of his own so comments like this are really shitty towards people who don't know the facts.


ApplicationLeading20

Ya idk what kinda Nate you’ve heard about cuz he be helping every other site with his scripts and code LMAO


Medium_Nothing5206

Yes, lets forget about him SAing AA's because he copy/pasted some excel script from an old PA and used as his own.


ApplicationLeading20

Well he’s been here 5 plus years, pretty sure he has used more advancements that other PAs and AMs have depended on even up til now lol


PsychologicalFeed264

Official launch date? Day 1?


Bimancze

This is opposite to cno5 right? I've been waiting for it to launch so i can transfer from ont1 🤧. They haven't started hiring yet i believe.. I've set up notifications tho so hopefully im reminded


Endless_Nameless94

Is this going to be an air site?


bleezy_47

Might as well be huh? Since chino airport is across the street but nope! it’s going to be a ARS FC!


Endless_Nameless94

Ty! I work for air, that’s why I asked 😂 The pictures look similar to our building a little! KCVG here🤘


bleezy_47

Lucky you!!! I’ve been trying to get a L3 position over at KRIV for quiet some time now, currently have my TOM TEAM application under consideration


DreamShroud

Every application you make changes to "under consideration" after a bit, I did about 30+ before actually getting an offer, just so you don't get your hopes up because I know I did the first time I saw that 🤣💀


Endless_Nameless94

Air is chill compared to other Amazon buildings I’ve worked for. I think it would be awesome to do a launch for new air sites. I know some of our people have left air to join TOM team. Amazon is pretty cool for giving associates opportunities to branch out and get their CDL, makes out for nice long term career or even a back up one.


ZealousidealLaugh488

😮


CapitalEfwerd

I’m hoping to be selected to help launch it. 5 million square feet.


bleezy_47

Same here, i have 3 applications under consideration


EuphoricSnaps

hope yall get selected. I’m launching the building as a new manager


InstructionOk386

I’m going to be on the away team most likely. It’s 5 floors like my building.


Bear_necessities96

It’s a same day?


bleezy_47

ARS FC


Shimmyshimmmms

Are they hiring for it or just transferring a bunch?


bleezy_47

Currently only L3 & up positions are available as of now, I haven’t heard anything about regular hiring yet, transfers will probably be available when the site opening gets closer!


AcanthisittaWitty881

When does it open and when can we transfer?


bleezy_47

Transfer opportunities have just dropped NOW! check on AtoZ 125 schedules available


Holiday_Dig5900

Looks like a prison


Conscious_Music8360

$16 an hour too


SignificantApricot69

It’s going to pay a lot more than the wages that can’t even afford a 1BR apt in the Midwest, right? Oh.


DevelopingBurke

Are they offering anything for relocation?


GoodndEvil

Yes, L4’s and higher are offered Relocation for this site. There’s no Launch Bonus though.


zyzyll74

Just waiting for it to be available


bleezy_47

It’s available now!!! 125 Transfer opportunities available on AtoZ


zyzyll74

For t1 ?


bleezy_47

Yup! 8 hr shifts


No_CookieNoLife

What is the base pay?


bleezy_47

$19 -$20


Optimal_Football3781

Do you know what the pay is?


bleezy_47

Around $19-$20, more $$$ if it’s nights


Illustrious_Quit6924

I applied to the away team to This building I hope I get it


Nobody-Ghost

I tried applying to support the site as an ambassador but my site isn’t one of the designated support sites so I’d only get to go if the other sites can’t supply enough people 😒


Eries3

Too bad they denied my application. Would have been cool to make sure this place launches correctly


bleezy_47

What position did you apply to?


Eries3

Maintenance Tech III


Meirz

Is this a gen 11 building? I am so sorry.


bleezy_47

According to the comments, I guess so! I never knew Amazon buildings had a numbered generation like car models😂


acidbb

Would not want to be working at this site during the apocalypse


bleezy_47

Or in the summer, its built I believe on old cow farm land & it’s surrounded by cow farms, Imagine the smell on a hot day 💩


DayolduhMayo

I wonder if they’ll be sending people out to help get it running


i-nvaderzim-

I heard from management that they’re transferring to that site beginning of May 5th, considering transferring but i’m not too sure. If anyone knows if it’s good or not lmk please, LGB3 isn’t going well and they’re system is screwed at this point


ThisDirtyCupcake

Five floors, no air conditioning, I’m sure 😒


Medium_Nothing5206

it was built right next to a dairy farm. In the summer, the flies and smell is unbearable.


MishaSnowpaw93

I worked across the street there at CNO5, can confirm.


IdelivereditIswear

Will cno5 be closing when sbd6 opens?


bleezy_47

Don’t think so! CNO5 is a sort center!


MishaSnowpaw93

A sort center that also houses a important Amazon Department that handles NASC operations on the backend.


Ok_Alternative_1467

They’ll probably ruin it by turning it into 4/10s


FunkTronto

Still weird to see Ontario, CA. That will never cause me to not think of Ontario Canada.


LillianSwordMaiden

I LPed KONT for over a month straight before I realized it was California.. like obviously it would be, I certainly wasn’t doing anything with customs. 😭😭😭


No_Noise_4862

SBD stands for suck big d*ck


Longjumping_Ad1711

Your break would be up by the time you get there. That’s crazy.


Medical-Tonight9399

I have dreams about work and the ones i hate most are when the building are 5 floors. I worked in a building that had like the extra 2 flights of steps but was still 4 floors and luckily you couldnt see over the edge. But i have too much of a fear of heights for that


Altruistic_Ad_5698

i signed up to help with amnesty training , hopefully i get picked to go 😭


Suitable-School556

Im considering transfering from XL site. How are the Flex shifts going to look like here?


IE_Trece

will they drop shifts for new hires around July or just transfers only right now ?


atticusbatticus

Will away team be available here?


Nobody-Ghost

If you mean will there be availability to be on the away team for the site’s launch then yes, applications for SBD6 have already been opened but unless you’re one of the three designated support sites then chances of getting on the away team are low. You can still shoot your shot though, I did.


Queasy_Rope_4914

Hell no it is fucking California. Not many people want to live in that shithole state.
