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!

    • I'm not unblocking my camera for this crapola. Sorry, Google.
    • Ummmm that is what is it supposed to do. Just turn if off in settings if you do not want it analyzing your open tabs. Chrome does the same thing with Gemini. Sarfari will do the samething after Apple's AI and even more so with the release of their 27 versions that is now powered by Googles LLM/ML models. Understanding why it is doing it and how it can help you vs jumping to some conspiracy theroy is a much better approach. As long as it can be turned off, all is good. Yes the default should be off but the a lot of people would never discover these features.
    • Just another reason (aside from many others) not to use Edge. Firefox 153.0b5 DEx64 has a similar feature added recently in prior builds that I will turn off at some point when I get around to it. It's the new "Something looks suspicious" page that pops up here and there. It cleverly hides itself between web pages that I've actually visited; as a result, you know, of selecting a web page and telling the browser where to go. The interesting thing is that it does not produce these warnings from pages that I, as the only intelligent user of the browser in my system, have ever directed the browser to open! What seems to be happening is that the browser looks at all the goofy ad links on a web page I do actually open and selects one that "looks suspicious" and then creates the "something looks suspicious" web page, which is neatly inserted, as mentioned, between web pages my RB ("real brain") has directed the browser to load in a session. The thing is, I usually look at links I am considering to follow before I ask the browser to load them, and in cases I have noticed where the link does indeed look suspicious, most of the time I will choose to not follow the link at all. Doesn't everyone do this or something similar? I am picky about what I voluntarily load... (I don't like links that start off fine, with a site designaiton that seems normal enough but then is followed by indecipherable alphanumeric strings many, many lines long, etc. I tend to reject those because they look suspicious. They may not be, but I don't care... I'll stay with Firefox, of course, if for no other reason than they usually let you turn off the junk you don't like. And because it isn't Edge... But at some point Microsoft will come to realize that putting your bookmarks on the left side is a Good Thing for a lot of people, just as Microsoft discovered when it had the bright idea of nailing the Windows taskbar to the bottom of the screen, when for decades Microsoft browsers had left that placement up to the user. They have finally reversed the obscenity of that decision. Finally.
    • Google was using the old CATPCHAs data to train their LLMs. What is the say they won't use this camera data of users to train their LLM? these companies need some strict regulations!
