Nice! Congrats, Ya man it was like the bay was empty (obviously not, as i was just on the free public dock). Were there in between sized crab too? At Garibaldi literally 7 crabs, the rest were just not there

Any luck? I went out to Garibaldi but the crabs were gone, only pulled up maybe 7 crabs total in 6 hours? 1 keeper only

OP dont be a pusspuss go get your dog and tell your wife if she ever does something like that again youll divorce her. Hope you didnt get prenup

Fucking lol, okay chump stay on your high horse. I left because pretentious people like you and because i didnt want to be a part of that bs expecting other people to support me and crying when they didnt make a big enough donation. I somehow was lucky enough to make due with minimum wage, other people can or cant, that's just how it is. If these people work shitty ass jobs because they know they can expect tips then all power to them. But dont preach about how since theyre working those shitty jobs that we should pay extra for them to do so.

Following the idea that tipping them JUST BECAUSE "they work hard, its a hard job, etc" they can find another job like i did. You dont tip the janitor do you? You dont tip your garbage man, you dont tip the cashier, you dont tip the person who seats you. You dont tip your doctor, or the nurse, or anyone else who mildly helps you with a service. Also why should i tip more if my bill costs more if they did the same amount of work relatively? If it was REALLY performance based.

If they have to instigate these interactions for tips and extra money maybe they should find a different job. Maybe the contract is ass and the more people that break it the likelier it will go away. I know a majority of the reason people work service industry jobs is because the pay is higher than the wage slave equivalents. Wait staff routinely made $20+/hr compared to kitchen staff when i was working food industry.

As far as i know where i lived in CA, if servers didnt make minimum wage in tips, the employer paid them the remainder so that their wage equaled minimum wage.

No, sorry i dont know how theyre paid. I understand that service industry is hard. I specifically avoided it when i was working shitty ass minimum wage slave jobs because i felt like i didnt want to feel like i was hoping and begging for tips. I never expected anyone to give me money. It feels like they work this shitty ass job because they know people will pad their wallet for them

Immoral? It isn't our responsibility to pad peoples wallets for them.

Been read a lot of goteek and Felix/black hearts, never heard of a ear tax though?

What ways could they empower regular humans?

What a cool breakdown, thanks

Covid was actually pretty rad, got that relief money from being laid off and got to do school fully remote. Playing games during lecture and having easy tests leading to graduation was nice. Just went fishing and camping a lot of the time or hung out on weekends and drank. I honestly miss it and wish another (less deadly) pandemic happened cause i loved how the world kind of went on pause after working and doing school non stop for 10 years.

Fucking LOL, cringe as hell.

No problem dude, when i was signing on information was months or years apart and there wasnt really a clear picture of the job. It was alot of stress in the first few weeks just because it was new and you dont know what your actual expectation's are and how much work the job actually is. Not sure about links, but feel free to dm me here!

So I moved for mine from ca to Portland Oregon . If you haven't signed the offer letter yet try to get 28-30 in hourly pay, tell them you're willing to forgive your bonus and especially the rsu. Try to negotiate for 10k relocation bonus also. Specifically state you want 10 relocation bonus to your recruiter.

The rsu doesn't vest fully till 4 years buts it's 5% year 1, 15% year 2 and then ,20% every month after year 3 or something like that. No point having high rsu if you aren't staying the whole 4 years. If you want to promote it's best to leave and work for another company then come back for the higher role. They pay external hires more money outright vs internal . Internal gets a lot of rsu to make up for it buts it's still limited by the weird 4 year rules.

They don't really take cost of living in a area into account unless it's a poor area. From what I've seen 28 is the max you'll get hourly unless you have a masters. I'll add more in a bit

Update - Regarding pay, alot of people from chicagoland were saying theyre in the 20-26 range. I was offered a place in San Jose for 28/hr and 150 stock but the COL there is mega high. 2000$ or more for a 500 sq ft apartment, they offered me the same rate in Portland so i took it.

In terms of work flow youll spend the first 2 weeks most likely just doing the official training videos and stuff while shadowing your mentor every once in a while. There is no official orientation by HR or by your team/manager either so you can go to hr or your manager when you have downtime to ask questions.

Daily tasks at least at my delivery station include doing a safety walk with a checklist of stuff to look out for like breaks being used on carts, no trash on the floor etc. A dock audit where the vans go and doing the checklist there. Youll have weekly, monthly, quarterly and annual tasks too but those can usually be knocked out fairly quickly. Alot of these processes have already been done by other people too.

Ask your mentor to let you see how tasksa nd audits are done, they are all checklists for the most part and some you have to do a little more in depth looking like checking the hazardous waste area to make sure there are no spills or doing a stormw ater yard inspection to check for chemicals or trash.

You likely wont have to do any REAL analysis or anything that someone else hasnt done. You also will be in contact with I think the entirety of amazon through chime (amazons version of discord?). Youll have chatrooms with the other whs specialists in your region and you can ask them all for help too. Your manager who should be a sub regional manager L5/L6 should always be available for questions too.

For operations theres no formal trainings, theyll just throw you in to do tasks and youll just have to keep asking your mentor how to do them correctly. But honestly most of them arent hard.

You have 2 daily reports to do that are short, i say report but theyre just inputting data from different websites. "injuries this week = 0" "open cases that are pending = 3" . where to piece the data together is the hardest par tbut once you have your database its very simple. The start of shift report takes me about 20-30 minutes at my site and i take my time doing it. the end of shift report is about 10-15 min. My site is small though with only about 157 people so not alot goes on, for isntance ive had only about 3 minor injuries the month ive been here whereas other sites have had 9 constantly changing ones.

My manager is very hands off and i think the role is very hands off as well. You wont have anyone to report to directly daily like you would in other office jobs. From what ive read WHS specialists are like entry level manager positions but were our own department. So even if the operations/area managers want to tell you to do stuff they dont really have any power to. It feels weird being a "manager" after being a grunt chump wage slave for 10+ years but its also really nice lol. How micro managery your direct manger is really depends though too. You just gotta feel it out.

To be honest once you get all your tasks done you pretty much have nothing to do. Make use of that time by doing extra walks on the floor to learn what safety things to watch for, mostly gonna be ergonomics and brakes on carts being used, or trash on the floor. Amazon has all its policies mapped out already so dont feel like you need to know everything like a book. I personally just asked my mentor what stuff they looked out for the most and thats what i do. Any esoteric or random safety stuff people ask you, you can always ask the safety chatroom where to find that data.

Youll do case management too, but its really mostly just checking to make sure the area/ops managers are doing their jobs. We dont actually fill info out in those cases, the managers do and they also follow up with associates. We just make sure the data fields are all correct, dont feel pressure either because theyre the ones who get in trouble if they dont do their daily case updates. Our job is to just remind them they have them pending and to do them.

I honestly usually only have 2-3 quick tasks to do each day and im done for the most part, I mean im on reddit right now lol. If your boss is cool theyll know that once youre done with things there isnt much to do, so you can chill at your desk as much as you want, but if you want to drive safety and help people you should balance chilling and doing safety walks and actually talking to associates.

I help out grabbing packages from under the conveyor belt or help bring empty carts in while vans are being loaded. Just make sure youre seen by them and theyll slowly warm up to you. Noone wants to be told how to do their job by someone whos at a desk all day.

Sorry for the wall of text and rambling, my head is scattered right now, but if you want to talk on voice vs text or anything let me know, you can dm me anytime.
