Life in Amazon

L5 Scientist, getting call from my manager 730 am every morning, supporting more than 8 projects now, delivering average 5 to 6 reports per week, 15 to 20 mins to have luch, signning off around 700pm...sometimes have to work on Sunday afternoon... Work hard, no life....

Why is RS sending reports? I would expect RS needs would require more time for their deliverables but this sounds more like BIE?

Amazon HopeSolo Jun 10, 2020

I’m guessing OP is a Data Scientist not RS and a lot of DS do BIE work

Yes

Amazon JqlR01 Jun 10, 2020

Leave pls

Amazon AWSp30 Jun 22, 2020

I agree. And I don’t say this in a condescending way but for OP’s own mental health and WLB. It should also teach OP’s manager that human beings are not “work-hard no-play” robots. And if you want to stay at Amazon, OP could just find another team.

Wow. So much for working hard at Amazon. Amazon has biggest insensitive @ssholes.

While others may be just chilling and get promoted faster than you. Does that make you mad? It should. Find another team or job

Amazon aka1005 Jun 15, 2020

Absolutely, promotion is a shit show

Don't be demotivated by this post.

Amazon cheb732 Jun 15, 2020

Do be. Don’t come to amazon, this place is terrible

Amazon pIqQ10 Jun 10, 2020

Have you tried saying no?

Amazon znabevfo Jun 12, 2020

Yeah exactly push back if you don’t management will assume you can handle it :D

What’s the attrition rate for your team? Are you taking on others’ responsibility?

Amazon mugambo Jun 27, 2020

How does one find this for any team? Is someone actively publishing these metrics? Someone should make them conveniently accessible over a phonetool greasemonkey.

@Locria Lol, great question. This is why Amazon is toxic, we have people like ecomking that loves shoving their nose up Bezo’s ass.

Describe your day to day activities. If some could be automated.

Amazon sTEI83 Jun 11, 2020

Change teams. I work with a DS who has an ultra chill life as he is a part of a good engineering team.

Stop complaining and just switch jobs!!
