I work at amazon. If im off my station for 5 minutes, they may not say anything to me but its on the system and they can see it. We're not allowed to really take bathroom breaks for more than 8 minutes. I consistently take 10+ minute breaks because of my fucked up stomach. Sometimes if im sick i will be in the bathroom for 20+ minutes. I work 12 hour shifts but they say that if my bathroom breaks add up to over 30 minutes they could take it out of my UPT. I was told yesterday that i needed a doctors note if i need consistent breaks over 8 minutes.
I know this is normal but its so humiliating having to explain myself and my bathroom habits every day (“yeah sorry about that i was just taking a shit lol”) in fear of getting written up. Its hard to be fully on task for the full 12 fucking hours man but they want us working until the minute we leave. They have also been moving me around because of volume and i keep getting write ups for errors for a new job i was literally training for until yesterday. I'm constantly threatened with write ups for my bathroom breaks and I'm just dreading even doing 'my' job because i don't know what I'm doing wrong and im bound to get another write up.
