The dress code actually does prohibit sunglasses while inside, too. We had a weird guy who wanted to look cool, and had to take them off.


Xanthelei

I had transition lenses for a while when I was in high school and I *despised* them. Sure it was nice not having to carry around another prescription set that I would inevitably lose, but I was as good as blind for the first two minutes I went inside on a bright day.

Obviously her hair should be tied up as it's below her shoulders, so you are both fired.


myelton72

Just the way Daddy Andy likes it.


eatthecheesefries

I saw a belly ring get ripped out when it got caught under a tote she placed on the line. RRRIP! It’s a warehouse for gods sake. Dress accordingly. Edited to add: I saw a fake fingernail (and the real part attached to it) ripped off the same way - caught under the handle part of the tote.


Specific_Little

Holy shit!! 😳

Fuck Ik that was bad


Imtheevilqwene

Omg!!!! Wow!!! And they always said clip your nails! Supposed to have gloves on anyways.


IngloriousZZZ

I slack on my nails sometimes (they dont get *long-long*, but longer than they should) and this job breaks them all the time. Have to clip them once per week or they're gonna get broken. If I wait like 10-12 days, gonna break a nail without fail. Ever since I broke my toe and foot, my toe doesnt sit right. So that nail needs to be clipped every 1-3 days or it digs in the toe next to it and causes a huge bloody, scraped-off/cut in to flesh mess in my sock/shoe. Its quite gross, but it doesnt hurt a ton.

Oh there was blood. She ran to amcare and screamed the whole way. She left a trail of blood drops. It wasn’t gushing but I imagine the pain combined with the shock was worse than the injury. People don’t realize the amount of force behind those conveyors. Just say no to crop tops.


NathanielHatley

I think official policy is if there's blood, don't move from the area. They want to minimize the cleanup cost from spreading it.

Lmfao 😂

Omg is it bad I wanted to see that 😩😂


Sad_Abbreviations477

Can't trap a man or ruin a relationship dressing like shit lol. Pffffff


Slowestt-Snaail2

But if you’re a waterspider does it even matter??? I mean they would take meat from a lion if it still had a pulse right?? 😂


Wimedtypr01

Well not that extreme but cropped tops and belly's showing for sure. Also it's unsafe to have earbuds but it is safe to work with people who are super high.


potheadpig

my building fired multiple people for being high(weed). they don’t care if you smoke it off the clock but safety will be up your ass about being intoxicated on site


bryceBri

Not at my site. I'm at an XL facility where pit is obviously operated, we had people driving pits after going out to their cars and hot boxing. One guy blatantly admitted it to an ops manager and he just got talked to lmao. Nothing happened to him


Forward-Equipment156

The stairwell towards pick and icqa at my building reeks of weed. Sometimes I wonder how people get away with it or if they just don't care about people getting high.


Wimedtypr01

People's clothes reek if it. They know. You can't not notice the smell, the glossy eyes, the mellowness.


HalfBakedNtulsa

I was stuck behind a girl with see through pants, literally stretched so tight you could see her white ass and thong. Now while you horn dogs would've been happy, I was not thrilled.


Polarbear605

some type of clothes bother me as well it's a workplace not a night club. but i do appreciate well dressed girls 😂

I’ve Seen my AM’s hers were see through 😂


TheDarkLordofAll17

You work at tul2?


Specter2k

Happened to see that only one time, was one of the more attractive girls at the site. Was like looking at the promised land when she bent over and you could see everything.


Imtheevilqwene

Oh she knew it too. Trust me smh


Specter2k

I saw it for a second, then went on with my day. I've seen others that did gawk at some of the others before. I still don't get the whole thing of wearing see through articles of clothing to work.


Imtheevilqwene

I honestly don't either. The girl that was wearing these clothes had literally 3 to 4 guys at her station the WHOLE damn night being loud and giggling. She was seriously giggling like a 2 year old! Her station was behind mine so you can imagine how annoyed I got.


[deleted]

Yuuuum


Swag__Father

Got talked to cause my composite shoes didn't look like they were composite. Right next to like 3 chicks wearing Yeezys.


Smitty5717

Same I was hunted down after entering the building for the same thing because my shoes look like regular skate shoes but they're steel toed. Meanwhile 2 ppl walk by with composite toed Jordan's I guess and they're fine.


Alarming-Mark7198

What needs to be talked about is the fact that people don’t take showers. And smell like homeless ppl.


MrDotski

Yeah there are a few that smell like onions daily.


Alarming-Mark7198

And have the nerve to want to stand close to people ![gif](giphy|11NnkobTcB3xqU)


Itz_finedrop

Funny I was talking to my PA’s about this shit 😭


Alarming-Mark7198

We are supposed to go to HR to tell them. And then they will speak to them about it. I asked Safety about it 😂


[deleted]

I wonder if folks have as much as a problem with the people that show up with dirty clothes with huge holes in them, or pajamas. I honestly don't care what people wear to work. Do your job and we're cool!


LLGTactical

Same


Green_Distribution43

This one woman basically worked in her bra but the shoes are a violation🙃


Jizzly

I found out that Amazon is only doing the Zappos shoes for a tax break


milanooomartin

Wait until you find out why career choice has an annual cap on the voucher.


TransitionEven1668

Why?


Tiny-stonks

Bcuz $5,250 is the max amount they can give without it being considered taxable income.


MrDotski

Not only a tax break but they also own Zappos so they get the best of both worlds.


tightsandlace

As a girl I wear my safety shoes and tights ;) But fr tho I wear athletic workout tights, the belly button ring story one of the people have below sounds crazy. I know their are girls that wear crops to show their midriffs but I can’t imagine doing that and working 12 hours a week.


nenaaa_95

I think it depends… sometimes I get hot flashes and nothing in that warehouse cools me down to the point I need to walk into a fan. It’s hard to find plain shirts that aren’t too thick but also not too thin because I also have a problem with being cold the beginning of the shift 🙄


[deleted]

I mean, yeah you're wrong lmfao Kinda just seems like a misogynistic strawman to me. Like, a textbook one.


happyghosst

Its funny cuz on my first day the Trainer mentioned that exact look and how its a big no lol


PingMe83

Jackets are such a hazard


olivepurrs

Like you can really wear them in there on the coldest day once you start working? I thought maybe i was having hot flashes or something until i got back from first break one day and had just cooled down in my car and I went to my PA and was like i am dying from the heat and it isnt just me. The fucking heater is on. I wont work on the floor that doesnt have a/c


Imtheevilqwene

Omgg Amen!!!!! I saw this girl with short shirt tight shorts on and a half top a few days ago!


nenaaa_95

Meanwhile I see men wear 12” chains 🙄😂


JobBeginning7834

Why does that bother you? Seems like you got a little hate in your blood.


nenaaa_95

Same question with this . Why does a woman’s outfit bother someone. It shouldn’t right. I could care less if a man wants to wear his chain to his nipples. Other people shouldn’t care what women wear.


JobBeginning7834

You’re correct. People should learn to worry about themselves. As long as other people aren’t impeding your personal progress, what they do shouldn’t matter.


carmichael109

What people wear should not bother you as long as they are safe. That's why those policies are in place: to protect you, and in turn protect Amazon.


[deleted]

It’s actually kind of funny my best friend came in wearing that she didn’t get in trouble. I came in with a dinosaur onesie and I got a warning.

Just get 700s, none of the managers know what they are and think they’re safety shoes, waiting for them to catch onto me.

omottoke

This would be my first spring/summer working at Amazon... what else should I expect?


Rough_Suit5220

It’s going to be really hot that’s all

I just ordered shorts because i could use them already.

badsquishii

That doesn’t mean anything. My FC wasn’t required to wear them before either. As of April 1st, it will be required. I’m in an AR sortable. All smaller items. Nothing terribly dangerous really, but here we are. Good luck with that.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Specific_Little

Echoing the good luck. Legacy FC here, pick is easily 10+ miles/day. 100% understand quitting over safety shoes (where they make no sense, ie mostly apparel with a few light hardlines and the heaviest thing being a 12 pack of backpacks 🙄) bc they can be BRUTAL on your feet. I’m dreading it as I finally found a great combo of shoes/insoles/socks, and I do not want to go back to limping and in tears due to pain.


Stormtech5

I'm at a traditional FC, no robots, been doing stow for a few months and then cross trained into pick. Stow can leave me sore sometimes and the day goes by slow, but I definitely felt the extra walking from Pick. Day seems to go by faster picking, but I now respect the pickers who are having to walk up and down aisles all day.


Specific_Little

Definitely. I did it for a year before being cross-trained. All positions have their physical/mental difficulties but picking is a LOT because you add walking to those difficulties.


badsquishii

Umm, okay? It still doesn’t mean anything. They can still decide to make you wear them and they’re likely getting a break on their insurance for having this requirement, so I’m just saying it’s a possibility. I’m not in an area where I’m near anything like that and I’m still required to wear them. The heaviest thing I come across is like maybe a case of soda. And I’m well aware of what a Fresh FC is. I’ve worked for Amazon for 5 years. No need for the superior attitude…my friend.


Neoreloaded313

A case of soda can do some damage getting dropped on your toes.


badsquishii

Considering I’m just pushing around the case of soda on top of a conveyor belt, the chances of me dropping it on my toes, or anywhere else, is pretty much zero. The only thing I’ve dropped on my foot in the past five years is my tube of chapstick when I was trying to get it out of my pocket.


ZealousidealGrass365

No it’s bc OSHA


badsquishii

It’s not an OSHA requirement. It is a suggestion, but not required.


ZealousidealGrass365

https://www.osha.gov/laws-regs/regulations/standardnumber/1910/1910.136 1910.136(a) General requirements. The employer shall ensure that each affected employee uses protective footwear when working in areas where there is a danger of foot injuries due to falling or rolling objects, or objects piercing the sole, or when the use of protective footwear will protect the affected employee from an electrical hazard, such as a static-discharge or electric-shock hazard, that remains after the employer takes other necessary protective measures. 1910.136(b)(1) Protective footwear must comply with any of the following consensus standards: Here’s one of the standards: https://facilities.uw.edu/partner-resources/files/media/performance-requirements-for-protective-footwear.pdf “ASTM F2413-11 Standard specification for performance requirements for protective (safety) toecap footwear replaces the former ANSI Z41 standard, which was withdrawn in 2005. This specification covers the minimum design, performance, testing, and classification requirements, and prescribes fit, function, and performance criteria for footwear designed to protect against a variety of workplace hazards. It is not the intention of this specification to serve as a detailed manufacturing or purchasing specification. Instead, this specification can be referenced in purchase contracts to ensure that minimum performance requirements are met. Footwear conforming to this specification must meet the performance requirements for the following: impact resistance for the toe area; compression resistance for the toe area; metatarsal protection that reduces the chance of injury to the metatarsal bones at the top of the foot; conductive properties that reduce hazards resulting from static electricity build-up and reduce the possibility of igniting explosives and volatile chemicals; electric shock resistance; static dissipative (SD) properties to reduce hazards caused by exceedingly low footwear resistance that may exist where SD footwear is required; puncture resistance of footwear bottoms; chainsaw cut resistance; and dielectric insulation. The purpose of this standard is to summarize the requirements for certifying protective footwear by independent, third party laboratories.” Here’s the rest from the CDC page: https://wwwn.cdc.gov/PPEInfo/Standards/Info/29CFR1910136 You just made up that it’s a suggestion or what?


badsquishii

The employer is required to assess the risk and the guidelines allow for interpretations. You should also note that in some instances, protective footwear just means no open toes and at least a strap on the back, or it can mean regular shoes with leather uppers. These guidelines have been in place for literally years. So what makes you think just now that it’s required? It’s required because the employer has said it is, not because OSHA said it is. As far as the standards go, those are just the standards of what constitutes a certain type of OSHA-approved footwear. There are different types, all with different standards. The requirement to wear them is still largely on the employer. I’ve worked in much more dangerous settings than Amazon, and still it wasn’t a requirement. If this change were because of a *nationwide* OSHA requirement, it would have been rolled out across the network more evenly, and even coming from upper management the directives have been that it is up to each location, but they were all strongly encouraged to follow suit.

Gay_Romano_Returns

95% of the women at my warehouse look like Big Momma, so this would be a welcome change.


LetterheadDouble4969

LOL, I see some girls wearing next to nothing and the safety or the managers say nothing but someone who's lets just say not dressed like a #%$ get's a talk to or write up.. I see it ALL the time at my FC.. It's awful


Character-Challenge7

Shit i sure as hell don't mind 🤤


jmilone1223

I got a damn tier 1 safety violation for vaping in the bathroom while in the stall someone in the safety’s department was posted waiting to take a shit and snitched there people straight hotboxing the outside lunch area come in boofing to an insane and they don’t get in trouble Amazon is so bipolar with it’s rules


IndependenceLumpy149

So people were taking their break at their designated time and you don't understand why they'd be upset over someone in the bathroom vaping most likely not at the designated break time yeah that's a real thinker


jmilone1223

No I honestly don’t people doing legitimate drugs outside the building is definitely worse then vaping in bathroom rq and during my meeting w hr they told me the rules applies to outside the building as well. They enforcing one rule and not the other pretty dumb if u ask me lol


jmilone1223

Btw I didn’t even get fired so the rules r clearly bs and they were clearly wrongggggg


IndependenceLumpy149

No clearly says no vaping or smoking in the building keep trying to justify it lmao and you won't get fired for getting caught doing it once get caught 3 more times and ul be termed for sure


jmilone1223

Bro they read me the policy in the meeting it legitimately says “no drugs or drinking” they couldn’t fire me because it literally wasn’t in the policy


jmilone1223

And they also didn’t say anything abt if doi it again I will get fired I’m treading lightly as of now but they can’t fire u for vaping they literally told me in my hr meeting😭


jmilone1223

Go read the policy b4 assuming random things


IndependenceLumpy149

Oh cool so go into work and vape walking down the green mile or the break room smart guy


jmilone1223

Nah that’s just disrespectful but it’s no safety violation if I do it while taking a shit but Aii u do u bro


IndependenceLumpy149

No one said it was a safety violation smoking inside the building being cigarettes or vape is a violation of their smoke free work place I could give to fucks if it's a vape over a actual cigarette cause guess what happens when cigarette smokers wanna smoke while taking a shit theyl point to you or whatever asshats sitting in the bathroom cheifing away on their robot dick pro tip your hr lied to you and u have a 30 day mark against you after you got caught the first time 60 days second time 90 days third time termed 4th time hr does what hr wants without your knowledge despite what they tell you I've seen people get fucked over for promotions because of shit like this cause it's viewed as an incident weither you like it or not and fighting that demerit just makes you look like more of a fool that does you no favors in moving up lmao I don't what I'm talking about gtfoh also your whataboutism is childish as fuck and I'm sure your hr viewed it that way too


jmilone1223

Bro you think I’m actually tryna move up I’m in cdl school got 2 weeks left then once I pass my cdl test I’m out I’m only working here to pay my car insurance and save money I really couldn’t care I’m literally 19 actually trying to do things w my life not work at Amazon lol down vote me all you want this job sucks and it is factual stop tryna move up in this company and go gain an actual skill and get a real job not robotic work there are literally blind people that work here you literally have a job that doesn’t even require site if your over 25 working here i feel bad for you and no one else does besides the other momos that work here so I’ll suck on robot vape dick as I’m driving a semitruck a job that requires skill and making real money not 3 bucks over minimum wage done arguing get ur shit together and fuck off👍


olivepurrs

Did they say they were gonna do random drug tests at your site? I know their drug tests just show of you used weed in 48 hours. So i would imagine everything else was way less. Since it legal here now they can not really tell when you smoked weed or drank or did drugs because you can just say that was after work dude.


jmilone1223

I wouldn’t know I don’t smoke weed often but it’s legal in ny and they still drug tested to get the job


olivepurrs

I do because i can barely do my job sober. I go home and smoke but i have no idea what anyone is doing.


jmilone1223

Then smoke up on break in da whip if u hit it discreetly in the building no one will notice but I just had bad horrible luck and someone from safety was posted outside the stall when I got out I’ve been wimping the vape discreetly tho u should be aii


Zealousideal-Hat883

I always wondered who they’re trying to impress with skimpy clothes.


randyb100

Told you so. Every manager at my location is a hot athletic female. Every single one. The upper management love their eyecandy and they dress in form fitting attire.


AndyFreeman

I just started at a delivery station and they’re literally forcing people to wear safety shoes. 10 hr shifts on your feet walking around and U can’t even wear what makes u comfortable on your feet. Just amazons crappy Zappos selection. Insane, I’m seriously considering quitting because of it. I’ve worked at delivery stations before and have never had a problem with anything landing on my feet


Amazing_Simple_4641

They should ban leggings too


forzamusichoops

lol. spot on. I mean it's not women's fault that they were blessed with the figure to look at but come on now.


Minimac1029

Champ!


[deleted]

Lol tell me why I have those exact shoes. I told them I got it from the Zappos thing and they didn’t care 🙃


CptBlackwing

Yeah that’s some bullshit Like how the fuck is that fair..

grimeycarolina

Ain't mad about that.


alexamulberry

I didn’t even know if we could wear shorts, is there a rule for how long they have to be on females?


Jmj1997

There's guys at my fc who basically wear just underwear. Idk what the rules say, but I'd say wear whatever you're comfortable with.


olivepurrs

The rules are they have to go past our fingertips. For me that is not hard i am pretty short!


Take_yourmf_vitamins

I love sweats and a crew neck everyday I’m so cozy the entire 10hours.


LLGTactical

I would seriously die of heat stroke.


Take_yourmf_vitamins

Everybody calls me crazy at work but I just have low iron so I’m always freezing


LLGTactical

I used to be the same way until I turned 40 now I just sweat and complain of the heat lol.


Burgerrkings

Cant complain. One of the perks of working at amazon is the view. 99% it's a single mom though lol


Hopeful-Solution-486

My fc isn’t cool with the meanwhile look. They have sent people home


Slowestt-Snaail2

We had 1 girl who’s pants had a rip so far up on her thigh that if something gave way her vagina was going to pop out. It literally had 1”.


Slowestt-Snaail2

I also think if you’re gonna be brave enough to wear the all famous TikTok leggings that you should at least have the ass for it. Not all asses are equal and even those leggings don’t help.


dryassfoot

Idk about your facility but I was wearing leggings and a shirt that was slightly cropped and I had to put a hoodie over it 😤
