45 days of working for Amazon, now I am going to become a regular employee!


Recommended Posts

When I started at Amazon, I was hired as a white badge (seasonal) now it has been ~45 days and they are offering me a blue badge, which means in 60 days I can apply to transfer to a closer location! @sharpdesigner, I could not have gotten to this point without your help, I truly appreciate it!

Congrats man!

 

Now, see if you can't get @neufuse's motherboards to him on time. ?

Can't do that, remember the NSA/CIA are bugging them before he gets them! :D?

Steve, deals.neowin.net is not working properly. The home page is completely broken as of now.

It works fine https://deals.neowin.net/ :s

So next Sunday (27 May) I will be converted from seasonal to permanent part time (blue badge) and after 60 days I am eligible to apply for a transfer and at 90 days I will get vision and dental insurance. Plus I will have a discount code that is 10% off all orders sold by Amazon!

Even better news! I got a phone call from the HR department at the site I work at, and the HR manager had reached out to the HR team at the fulfillment center closer to me (3 miles) and inquired about doing a good cause transfer, siting that I travel 12 miles each way to work on a bicycle in whatever climate condition might exist, and the response was sure we can accommodate as long as you are willing to train in PITT (forklift) to which I of course said yes! So I will be going from ~24 hours a week to 40 hours a week, plus medical/dental and vision insurance! So it will most likely be in about 2 weeks, but I will know more tomorrow when I go in and sign the paperwork for the transfer!   

Congrats! I am still waiting to pick a schedule here in Ft. Worth myself. They just called me about a job fair tomorrow about five minutes ago! ? How ironic!

    • Linux 7.2's first release candidate gets off to a good start by Paul Hill Credit: Larry Ewing It has been a few weeks since the release of Linux 7.1, and in that time, the Linux 7.2 merge window has been open, where developers can submit their features and patches ready for the upcoming release. That window is now shut, and the release candidate phase has begun so that new features can be tested and further fixes applied. According to the founder of Linux, Linus Torvalds, this week’s release candidate looks “reasonably normal”. Although we are super early in the release candidates, this is a good sign as it makes it more likely that an eighth release candidate will not be needed. Torvalds even mentioned that the update’s stats are only larger than they really are because there was another AMD header drop with a third of the patch just being AMD GPU register definitions, which aren’t big changes but make the code contributed look larger overall. In addition to this, he noted that just over half the patch is drivers, even when excluding the AMD register dump. The rest of the changes are spread out over architecture updates, tooling, documentation, and core kernel updates. In the next week, Torvalds says that he will be chilling out, taking the week “mostly off”. Despite this, he will be reading emails and keeping up with things, so if he is slow responding, now you know why. He said he is hoping for a calm week, but we will just have to see if the second release candidate is actually like that. We should expect seven or eight release candidates before Linux 7.2 is released, so expect it around the end of August. If you missed it a few weeks ago, be sure to check out our coverage of Linux 7.1's release.
    • Ridiculous claim that the labor cost difference of $6000 annually would increase cost per phone by $200. The employees produce 3 phones per month or what?

    • Never used the G7 Pro, but I've never had a good experience with that style of d-pad and fighting games.
    • And I just bought a seat cushion for my mesh chair. The chair feels nice but the first time I sat in it with boxers, I realized I don't like the feel of mesh on my legs. 😂
