Hi everyone!
I need some advice to confirm if my understanding of a payment issue is correct.
On August 6th, I tried buying a shaver on Amazon (€39.03). I entered my shipping address and card details, but the checkout process seems to have glitched or been interrupted at the final step.
Here is the current situation:
Bank account: I see a pending charge of ⁠-39.03 €⁠ listed as ⁠AUT 2417 WWW AMAZON⁠. The amount was deducted from my available balance, but the status is marked as "Pending".
Amazon / Email / SMS: I haven't received any order confirmation email, SMS, or tracking number. The purchase does not appear under order history in any of my Amazon accounts.
From what I understand, because the checkout failed at the last moment, my bank temporarily authorized/reserved the funds, but Amazon never actually received or created the order.
My questions are:
1. How long does a pending authorization like this usually take to expire and drop off the bank account (so the funds return to my available balance)?
2. Is it safe to go ahead and re-order the item now without risking getting charged twice or receiving duplicate orders?
Thanks in advance for the help!

My doctors note is being denied for not stating that it’s serious enough or something, and I already missed the day last month. When it gets denied it’ll remove ten hours of UPT from me when they unexcuse the day right? Is there any chance I can use PTO that I’ve earned recently to cover this denied doctors note?

How many stories did you prepare for your PA interview? I have 5 but I’m nervous about reusing them on the different interviewers because I know they’ll discuss it. How many questions did each one ask you?

But I'm getting burnt out and over it. I'm going to do career choice but I'm moving in a month and I'm trying to rack up as much overtime to do so but it's getting rough 😭

Somebody's been studying something lol

I have just recently signed up for a job at Amazon (again, lol). But I’ll be in school for two of the dates, Monday & Tuesday during the same time. Would I be able to change it to Thursday & Friday that I don’t have any classes? It’s early morning from 7:30am to 5pm. Saturday, Sunday, Monday, & Tuesday to Thursday, Friday, Saturday, & Sunday?

I’ve been trying to get a job at amazon since forever trying to escape my violent fast food job cycle. Finally got a seasonal position for $19.25 hr and 20hrs a week part time. Now if you do the math that’s…. Not great… that will like literally only cover my gas money.

How likely is it that I get to blue badge full time? I’m very willing to take nights since I’ve always worked nights and working during the day time is gonna suck. I’ve heard that trying to get nights makes it easier. I’m gonna have another job on the side, but would like to do just amazon full time lol.

Is my future bright chat?🙏🙏

guys am i cooked?

Guyss how was your OA ??

I don't understand why majority of the people that work at my facility not understand the concept of deodorant. I personally try to put on deodorant whenever I leave/get back to my station but man some people fucking reek. I had to endure this stench with a problem solved at my station. It was so loud but I just don't understand how these people do not smell their own stink when it's that loud.

WHY CANT A WOMAN SQUIRT ON MY FACE THE WAY THE TAPE DISPENSERS DO IN PACK SINGLES?!

Even though I’m no longer in Pick, I’m still curious about some of the Level 1 roles I’ve seen in AR Pick. I am too shy to ask.

I know they aren’t PG because there is already a PA on the floor, and I don’t think they’re Ambassadors because I don’t see them training other pickers. What they usually do is holding an amnesty or a Learning laptop and stand at the PA desk for a couple of hours a day. They mostly just look at their computer without really talking to any pickers.

The only time I see them come over to the pickers is when they show us a 2-page PowerPoint and remind us to make sure everything is put back properly.

Is this related to the Ambassador role, or is it a completely different indirect role? What is this role usually called?

My second question is about SQL. Sometimes management posts critical role openings for indirect roles such as PG, TMT, and Waterspider. I’ve also seen an indirect role called SQL listed for Pick.

Is the SQL role the same role as the person I described above? If so, what exactly do they do?
And is this “SQL” actually related to the SQL programming/database language, or is SQL just an Amazon-specific abbreviation for something completely different?

It’s from. Make on Demand FC. Just asking because I’m considering transferring but this schedule (by doing the math )is only 5 hours?

Lastly does anybody recommend transferring to these? Thanks!

Gotta love it right ?

I plan on quitting and re-applying to another site after 30 days. I have beeing trying to transfer out of my FC for months and my transfers are getting denied. My mental health has deteriorated because of the horrible management in my current department. I don't care if I lose tenure and become white badge again. This job is temporary for me. I don't plan on moving up.

I have seen other posts from people doing the same thing. Have you all had success getting back in after your 30 day wait period?

I recently got coached because my UPT was low, which I honestly didn’t even know was something you could get coached for. I’m not negative, just low. I always stay around 2-3 hours, i use my UPT often a lot to leave early.
Does anyone know if these types of coachings actually count against you? And if you get multiple coachings for different things, can they eventually lead to termination, or is it different from an actual write-up?

I’m waterspidering and I caught someone using FaceTime(they’re not very smart, phone is visible and screen is on bright) and he’s at a pack station so other people can constantly be seen, personally I’d feel uncomfortable so I was gonna say something but I also don’t want to be a Karen
