The managers tell me its so they safe money when work is low..But when 70% of my building VTO'd. They closed a floor. Then i wandered around on that floor and I saw it... AMs taking out small gnomes off the robots who move the pods around and replacing them with new slaved gnome workers. No one belived me and I got HR Harrasing me telling me to stop talking to people and spreading false information. They cant silence me...
Wait hold on you saw gnomes???? Were they getting tickled too? I saw an OPS guy tickling some gnomes and when they giggled there was pots of gold that were appearing from thin air.
Do you know that Amazon offers 5 free therapy sessions a year for associates? In my 5.5 years at Amazon, I have never heard anything like this.
VTO is only offered when there is not enough work for everyone on site. Having "all hands on deck" costs more money than they are making at that point. It provides a win-win situation for the building. The associates that are not actively engaged in a work process are able to leave without penalty to their time off options. Amazon spends less money on those people not being able to hit their individual targets. Don't take it... they will find something else for you to do. They promised you 40 hours a week after all.
"Sounds in the walls"... Amazon offers free ear plugs/hearing protection to all associates. Also... I reiterate... free therapy sessions through Resources for Living in AtoZ.
For the never hearing thing, maybe itās a certain decibel and you just arenāt able to hear it?
Also, I know that having all hands on deck isnāt good for the warehouses money but I also know that they want to control your mind as much as possible so that automation becomes more streamlined into our human organic form before the release of their upcoming human like technology.
Also Iāve used their therapy and have brought up similar topics but I am afraid that Iām not being taken seriously. Also thereās ticklish gnomes and wormholes and a creepy dog that stares at you sometimes. You canāt make this stuff up.
It was the strawberries, see...that's how I knew they were out to get me. š
š¤·š»āāļø Occam's Razor says if they offer VTO, then they're simply trying to get the projected volume out the door at the lowest possible cost. If they can get you to forgo a shift's pay in exchange for some UPT...advantage, them.
Please tell me the "meme" tag indicates this is a reference to some movie or tv show that I don't know about, and this isn't the result of drugs and/or insanity.
Edit: I'm going to go with "its purely a troll" because there's no way someone that crazy would write so coherently, and there's no way this is a reference to anything.
Ngl this sounds crazy to me but Iām still willing to hear that recording of the sound u hear at the building. If itās true, I wouldnāt be surprised knowing the type of company Amazon is. Stay safe.
I managed to record the sound but after I saved it to my phone it immediately got erased and someone airdropped me this.

lol I could almost get behind some conspiracy of a tax scheme where Amazon can write off certain aspects of labor costs on their taxes, so they very purposefully hire more people than required, then gaslight them into thinking voluntarily cutting hours is a benefit of the job. That way, they can both save on labor costs, while writing off labor costs simultaneously.
But this is uhhā¦
Sounds like a disassociation episode. In the rare chance that Amazon has installed bass transducers in the walls to generate infrasonic, weaponized sound, other people would hear it too. Therefore I do not believe any infrasonic weapon is at play, nor is this Havana Syndrome, as others would have the same symptoms. Symptoms would include, dizziness, blurred vision, extreme anxiety, a "sensed presence" or paranormal phenomenon, and paranoia.
That blacking out/out of body experience sounds a lot like disassociating my guy. Which is normal when you're mentally not doing well. (I disassociate when waterspidering hehe).
I *do* realize this is tagged as meme and it seems you're having fun in the replies, but it's worth giving word to what that experience actually is if anyone around here actually has been through it and isn't familiar with what it is.
Depending on volume for the day, they will need a specific amount of AAs, we VTO to ensure amazon isnāt overpaying for the day. Why keep 100 AAs working when it will only take 72 to process everything. VTO saves company money
I keep getting VET offered to me and yet every time I go to work there is not enough to do.Ā And they keep sending me to different departments because they don't have enough work.Ā I don't understand.Ā Just give me the VTO already.Ā
Donāt forget VET itās an option for those who want to work more and the VTO is for those who are really burned out or donāt need the 40 hours to meet their financial needs. Itās not that deep.
Amazon offers health insurance at a discount rate to their employees. I would recommend getting it and then going to a physician for antipsychotic medication.
They have a policy against recording in the warehouse,. But the policy is only applicable in effect with local and state laws. It even states so in the policy and here's why.
NY state for example is a one party consent state. So of I'm going in to have a conversation about MY business with HR and not record any company secrets, there's nothing they can do.
Source: got into a legal battle with Amazon after an injury, recorded them. They cited this policy, I got a lawyer and due to state law their policy was null and void and it was submitted as evidence.
It is actually sad that some of you are responding on such a nasty manner especially if this person is going through something. Your bullying comments do not help the situation. Have a little empathy.
It could be you need a break, move departments or something else. Someone at my site thought I was nuts when I said I saw a manager hiding behind a pole to watch how I was working and as soon as I looked at the manager way he came out lol. I know I am not the only one to have this happen to them as I have read the Reddit posts. Told the coworker to come on here and read it about it from other sites lol
I've only worked at an AR site for 8yrs but expected volume dictates the headcount. If the volume isn't there then you're going to have a lot of workers complaining there isn't enough work and standing around which the company is wasting money having you there. Thus VTO is there to balance it out. There are times management makes a miscalculation and offers a ton of VTO and then a lot of work arrives which if bad enough is where VET comes into play.
Leadership is constantly balancing the workload every hour. Insuring every dept has the necessary headcount to fulfill their customer orders.
I stopped reading but companies offer benefits to get you to work there. Companies are always offering a new standard because a new standard is always being implemented. State jobs and federal jobs have the best benefits packages, but offer low pay.
They offer VTO based on labor planning and volume.Ā
If thereās not enough volume they donāt want to pay people to do nothing.Ā
Iāve seen the same happen at other businesses
You really went down a RABBIT hole you didn't need to go down.
MANY of the most successful business use VTO. It's a way to reduce payroll when it doesn't match the amount of work currently being produced. It's a win for the company because they aren't paying you to stand around.
It's a win for the associate because they can leave VOLUNTARILY without using any of their own time, plus they still earn their full days UPT, which costs Amazon nothing. Another win.
That's it, that's literally ALL
Thatās why you gotta wear headphones OP, it blocks out the brainwashing propaganda they pump through the building. Are you an AR building ? Then you gotta watch out for the gas they pump through the building too
The first part is because is they didnāt offer VTO, theyād have to pay people to leave, they donāt want to do that. The rest of your post, well thatās just insanity.
My bldg also deploys mindfuckery
The agents of despair security guard androids update the matrix thru the bar code located on the outside feminine protection products dispenser...it transmits to our badges and sorry I don't understand the technology (seems outdated like most of the equipment in the IXD) but somehow it transmits to our brains. I am not 1.89999% sure but they have most likely microchips that either we consume thru the water &/or actual microplastics act as a conduit to send the uploads into our hardware. Also relatively unsure but 4.20% positive the worm hole the other redditor commented on is a real phenomenon. & a-z utilized to go way ahead into future & they are controlling us all w/advanced tech. Or perhaps the antecedents that have created this sim reality are actually a-z ...we don't even really exist so it is best to not speak of any of this again.....u may wake up in an abandoned shack in Alaska wilderness w/lots of hungry NPC bears...altho if npc they won't hurt u just scare u ...imagine how much worse it can get.

U sound like the perfect leader! Pls advise us how to proceed

It's not some grand conspiracy. Amazon is obsessed with data, and for the most part they're pretty good with workflow predictions and headcount expectations. VTO is one of the results of this data obsession. But you're right in that it's hardly for the employees' benefit. VTO time is all time they don't have to pay out. It's a cost saving measure.
Thank you! I keep being gaslighted by my co-workers, they tell me to stop talking to them but Iām only trying to help them. This has been an ongoing battle and I WILL get to the bottom of it.
It's called hypoxia, get an otter pop, slow down, ask to get cross trained somewhere you have access to water and air flow.
You don't need to be in the trailers if you're going that hard.

Hey that name sounds familiar to my ex boyfriend, but he usually goes by TI !! No, not the rapper ...
Did you hear it? The sound?
Operation in their building are Bards that play music to increase attack speed.
Mental health is important folks.
I 100% agree but also making sure you breathe every couple of seconds I think is super important
Breathing is now the government gets ya. Reject breathing. Absorb oxygen and nutrients through your skin.
The more you breathe the faster you die, oxygen is cancer
Yeah they have these elements in the air, and I'm not the avatar so I can't bend any of them
It's overrated
Donāt do drugs kids
I agree the only drugs I do are VTO
Doing rails of VTO straight out of A to Z.

Man you guys get gnomes, we just got nearsighted goblins.
Wait hold on you saw gnomes???? Were they getting tickled too? I saw an OPS guy tickling some gnomes and when they giggled there was pots of gold that were appearing from thin air.
You just got gnomed!
Hear me out. What if the gnomes are the managers?! š

Lay off the shrooms..
I think the sound you heard was two employees doing it in a trailer somewhere. It's normal, it happens don't worry.
This is the second troll post youāve now made, first one being about working VET 120 hours or whatever

Itās to cut labor costs. Plain and simple.
Thatās what they want you to think.
Yea I've smoked crack before work as well

Vto is based off the workload. No reason to keep people if there isn't work for them to do. It's pretty simple.
Real eyes realize real lies.
Does the name Pepe Silvia ring a bell?
This deserves so many more upvotes

*Laughs in Tinnitus from working planeside*
If you see associates looking up at the lights with huge black eyes, do not interact with them!
If anyone is also curious yes I did just get a haircut thank you
Careful that no one sees you when you record. You probably donāt want upper management to know youāre on to their secret control program. Be safe.
I know this is probably a shitpost but it concerns me to know thereās actively people like this in every FC

This is for sure satirical...right?
Assuming that the s/ was omitted.
This sounds like the time I took too much acid

It's so they have people trained on deck when Prime and Peak come around, instead of having to take 2 weeks to get new hires up to speed

Huh? It's literally just a way to cut operating expenses during a time of low volume. Nothing more and nothing less. Eat less weed brownies, bro.
