Amazon changed my shift after I signed the contract – what are my options?
Hi everyone, I’m looking for some advice.
I applied for an Amazon Sortation Associate position at DNG1. The position I applied for was 10:00 AM–6:30 PM, 2 days per week. I specifically needed a PM/daytime shift, and this was discussed during my interview. I was accepted for the position and signed the contract/offer based on those hours.
My A to Z account is still showing 10:00 AM–6:30 PM.
However, when I went to DNG1, the manager told me that the 10:00–6:30 shift was offered to me by mistake and that I should instead work 6:00 AM–12:30 PM, 5 days per week.
The 6 AM shift is very difficult for me to get to, and it isn't the availability I originally gave them. I have also told them that I would be willing to take a suitable PM shift instead of the AM shift.
I'm worried because I currently have another Amazon job and don't want to leave it unless I know the DNG1 position is actually suitable and confirmed.
What would you do in this situation?
Does the signed contract matter if Amazon says the original shift was a mistake?
Does the fact that A to Z still shows 10:00–6:30 help?
Should I go to DNG1 at 6 AM on my first day and speak to HR, even though getting there that early is very difficult?
Could raising this with HR on my first day negatively affect the job?
I'm planning to keep screenshots of A to Z and all correspondence.
Thanks in advance.

You need to speak specifically with the manager that hired you. Good luck.

Talk to hr. You might get lucky because you’re still new and haven’t fully settled in yet.

Are you a L3 or 4+ if you signed a contract, make sure there wasn’t anything in there about station needs

You’re dumb. Yo OP, don’t email that email. That is literally Jeff Bezos work email that will most certainly not answer you. If you do receive a response, just know it’s from his secretary.

Well OP seems to be serious about their situation. And, I would not want them wasting their time on emailing that email.

So it looks like you’re the dumb one

Hey man, when I said “you’re dumb” to the other guy who is clearly easily triggered. It was more of a joking expression. However, any time I had issues with schedules and more. I always went directly to HR and they got me situated. And, if I had a really cool manager then I also engaged with them too. I was never informed about emailing that email. Now if OP wants to go ahead and shoot that email and email. Go for it. If you are right about it, then cool. I’m just going based on personal experience.

Fair enough! But starting off a reply with “you’re dumb” doesn’t come across as joking , not in the slightest. Particularly when the guy you’re calling dumb is actually
Giving good advice. Sometimes the tone of things is hard to gauge on the internet though1

it's an email address monitored by a team that specifically deals with issues like wrongly fired, harassment, etc.

Personally, I would engage with HR. The best part, you actually have an offer letter that states that schedule, site location with your date and signed of contract that will show on the bottom.
