    Thank you so so much for this. I’m an upcoming Area Manager and I want you to talk on the steps you did to leave your sort location and how the promotion came up. I’ll also like to connect with you. Bless

    Hi, Loved your video - super insightful. I have been seeing alot of importance being put into 'to look after your people'. I start the job on the 7th of october and was wondering what tips do you have to ensure that everyone feels loved and motivated at the same time.

    How did you get in? I’ve applied to many operations manager roles within Amazon and have yet to hear anything. My applications hasn’t been looked at either. They all say application submitted

      Hey
      To be honest, it was a while before they reached back out … I honestly forgot that I applied. I found the opening through LinkedIn.

    Amazon is a joke in the fulfillment center. I was told by my OM to resign and reapply if I wanted to be an AM. That's not a guarantee and a joke. I am a floor lead in inbound and floor lead for Problem solve plus I have a BA degree. What's the problem other than I am a L1 trying to be a L4/L5. Any suggestions

    • @sinigangpapi3379

      ​@DailyBread-qg9guso let me get this clear. You have a BA degree and was working at Amazon as L1, you were told in order to apply for AM using your degree, you have to resign and apply?
      Instead you stayed as L1 used career choice for another BS degree, and since you are in college, you applied for AM and immediately got the job? I am still an L1, applied for AM after just receiving my BS degree and didn't get the job. Probably because I failed assessment. What's your thought on how this process goes?

      Your OM is not wrong but you need to be a tier 3 first if you want to be L4.

    Were you required to have a valid drivers license for the position?

      @CiegiLaPriest  4 месяца назад

      Which position are you referring up? AM or OM
      I’m pretty sure they require an active ID - possibly drivers license is a requirement or have a way to get to and from work

      @@CiegiLaPriest Quick question: Do you think it would be possible to ask my manager when I get onsite about switching my LEW to Tennessee instead of Seattle? Tennessee is just five hours away from me and I have to drive 35 hours to Seattle for AD1 because I cannot do flights. Or if that’s not possible, do you think my manager will be able to get me approval to travel outside of the travel periods. For instance, Saturday instead of Monday, so I can get there on time or just do virtual?
      I haven’t asked yet because I don’t want to seem like a bother.

      You should ask the learning manager to change your LEW location. Driving that far is crazy.

      I work in a TNS building and out learning manager coordinates the onboarding schedule of new hires. You can tell your manager but I would imagine the learning manager would be more helpful with this problem.

    What’s the best Amazon management job where you kind of work from home and work in the warehouse. I’m soon getting out the military and have a MBA in supply chain and want some similar to Air Force or work from home and have the option to come in and have probably a day shift only?

    • @CiegiLaPriest
      @CiegiLaPriest  Год назад +2

      Congrats on getting out the military. I would say start doing some research now with keywords, because within the company there are so many jobs however, most jobs in the warehouse are not work from home as you have to be there for production but if you get into a program management position and or some type of quality control role, you may be able to do something like that.
