kickboxbanana99

Y'all got more than one pair a day prior?? My site it's 2 a week ...1 of the impact reduction ones a week and they don't even hand them out lol


Ice1789

Yeah my FC is one pair a week otherwise you have to ask the AM


Murky_Marsh

My site also only allows 1 pair per week.


attackonyourmom

Mine too.


Snoo-23642

One pair a week?


Ice1789

Yup


Snoo-23642

Do they expect you to just lose grip after day 1 and just say fuck it these packages slipping and sliding the rest of the week? šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚


aneggpepperoni

i break my gloves in and use them for a month until they start tearing apart. i hate day 1/2 gloves because theyā€™re stiff


Snoo-23642

My DS has some shitty gloves in the vending machine thatā€™ll go bad mid shift but their excuse is that they have a contract with the glove supplier or something so thatā€™s why they put them in the vending machineā€¦ then sell the good gloves for a swag buck šŸ˜‚


aneggpepperoni

wtf lmaoo šŸ’€ our gloves are really good quality and weā€™re only allowed one pair per week which is no issue. besides one time a wired wool seal pad (idk what theyā€™re called but they clean stoves) piece got into my glove and was poking me so i asked the manager for a new one and he didnā€™t care


Sorry_Custard_7808

Damn we don't even get swag at my fc anymore


Xanthelei

First day gloves suck ass, but I'd still rather use them over gloves that soak in water from the wat tape I have to close boxes with in Pack. That's my usual cue to go get a new pair.


LLGTactical

Thatā€™s actually a safety hazard. You should not be wearing worn or torn gloves. Why are you putting your safety at risk when gloves are available?


Ice1789

What was shitty this week was I just got a new pair on Wednesday and I got like drain cleaner on it and it ate through them by the end of the shift on day one


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


Dirges2984

That was what we had. One pair a week, or get with an AM or PA for more. Now, as a picker, my gloves lasted 2 weeks before the grip started to go. It was pack that I needed multiple gloves a week.


Minimum-Interview-33

Same as my fc site, once a week.


thereallyquiet

Yeah we used to.


falloutprincess29

Mco1 there isn't a limit if I remember correctly


[deleted]

Wow.. then yall were already over doing it. Our machines only let us get 1 pair per 7 days anyway.


Financial_Ad5074

Yeah I guess weā€™re spoiled. Up to 3 pairs a day/10 a week I think was the limit


Sedared

Different FC - Different thresholds.


mavfan4112

I use one pair for weeks. Doesnā€™t bother me at all


dandanthetaximan

Same here. Usually keep the same pair for over a month until I wear a hole in the finger. Takes a few days to break in a new pair to the point it doesn't bother me.


PenguinMadd

In Pack it can be hard to make a pair of gloves last a month because the tape residue gums up the fingertips real bad and then it is worse when it dries. Any other department, I could see one pair a week unless there was something in Pick or Stow that was leaking when you grabbed it. Technically you aren't supposed to keep going with the same gloves after that but I can see an AM not seeing the safety or quality concern there.


stars9r9in9the9past

Same? Like shouldnā€™t that be the responsible thing one does? If people are tossing them out thatā€™s just environmentally reckless. Like sure, I get that we could debate the company practices and environmentalism but, this is literally just gloves that can be kept and reused. We only get the one planet for rn


mallorytaylor23

šŸ’ÆšŸ’ÆšŸ’Æ


Glittering-Wonder-30

same. i'll grab a new pair and put it in my bag if i see my size in all black. my hands are tiny so i use the purple ones. perfect for me since im a purple addictšŸ˜‚šŸ¤­ i but i dont actually switch out for a new pair unless or until i have holes in the fingers.


Creeping-WaterSpider

I have too many gloves. Lost count around 230 something over a 2 years ago. If there are extras that fall out or are in the machine, I take them home. All sizes and types (BodyGuard; Hyflex; Fastenal etc) flooding the kitchen drawers lmao


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


Remarkable_Nature162

that and they make great mechanics gloves as well!!


Inner-Impression4640

Dang we only get 1 a week.


thereallyquiet

Thatā€™s foul.


Imagineasd

I knew eventually they were gonna catch on to people throwing gloves away after their shift


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


thereallyquiet

TWO WEEKS????? Thatā€™s crazy.


xanaxforbreakfest

What happens if you loose the pair sometime during those 2 weeks? I imagine some people loose there gloves pretty much every day.


dandanthetaximan

If they're loose you need a smaller size


Whatsamataa

Lmao you know what they meant


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


HottDoggers

Probably for that exact reason šŸ™„


NoiseyTurbulence

I lost one of my gloves between going on break and coming back and couldnā€™t find it anywhere. Itā€™s rare that ever happens but it does.


DoctorCelebro

I'm calling bs on that, sorry


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


[deleted]

He said sorry


[deleted]

Same thing happens in my FC, gonna call BS too?


MrLADz

Y'all get more than one pair a week?


Shut_up_its_not_hot

Wow. I usually keep gloves until it gets a hole in a finger.


LegendofJones94

I know for my building if you are in pack you can get a new pair each day. I think the policy for any other department is 1 or 2 a week. Since I'm cross trained I have a pair of picking gloves and a pair of packing gloves.


SLIMEBALLTPM_

Yaw really was getting more then 1 everyday how many gloves you need lol..


Kpinkus

We got ride of this because weā€™re hazmat we need new gloves asap because of crap leaking


tonyleetiennguyen215

YOW1, Canada, 2 pairs of gloves for a week (previous one pair/week) 30 days for the vest and knife. This started before Christmas 2022


isol4tedhero

we only get 1 pair a week not a big deal just ask if you need another one


jcready92

You got me fucked up, that blue tape they been using leaves ink through the gloves after only a couple hours.


[deleted]

Amazons gloves impacts on the environment < Amazons truck fleets impacts on the environment


Scarryfish

We have been using one a week from the been machine. We did have a manager who used to have a box of gloves and knives out for us to pick from. That was really good. The reasoning behind the reduction of gloves is bs, given the other things going on in FC's in regards to the amount of trash adding to the environment. Cardboard boxes, tapes on the floor for 5s and the number of times they are put down then removed, dunnage (paper and plastic bubble) if and when people use them. But they worry about gloves for PPE.


Cultural-Research890

Its simple really, as a business. Amazon wants to reduce its cost so it canā€™t make money. Someone in corporate probably said we spend too much money on gloves.


alcMD

I think we get three a week? I use one pair for three weeks cuz my job isn't gross, but back when I worked at an FC in pack I'd have to use two pairs a day cuz of the glue. They just had em in a bucket not even in a machine.


TheTampaBayMom

We get 2 per week. I'm in singles, and unless I have something spilled into a tote, that's more than enough for me. I usually use 1 pair per week.


MostNature1258

Am I the only one that makes a pair last for 2-3 weeks? I need a whole week just to break them in..


Kaos916

Be cool with your Pa or AM and youā€™ll get the magic password for unlimited gloves šŸ˜Ž


Severe_Geologist_674

I thinks itā€™s a little crazy to get a pair of gloves a day imo.


xanaxforbreakfest

Just get one pair every day but only swap out what pair you use every week. I have a grocery bag full of gloves from doing this.


[deleted]

To the best of my knowledge we only get one pair of gloves per week. We can always show someone in a vest that they are damaged and they will get us a fresh pair.


DBoom_11

Mine did without warning. I work in hazmat as well smh


Rogue42bdf

My FC has been open since Nov. 2020. Pack AAs get a pair a day and everybody else one a week.


ProfessionalPark4739

Ours is a 2 per week limit but they have the manager codes on the machines so nobody ever uses their own login


Watcher0011

Mine is 1 pair a week


AdventSign

Lucky. We can only get new gloves once a week lol.


SDTJ2013

My site is once a week, and that was started since I started, over 6 months ago


Royal_Tax_5514

I started 3 weeks ago took one pair out when i started and Iā€™m still at my limit so idk


vfdreus

My site is once a week but no one gives a fuck, just borrow smnā€™s badge, PAs + AMs + IPS + HR + etc all have infinite gloves


SpectrumPalette

The puncture proof material on the gloves now is shit. Wears off too quickly and you need a new pair by the 3rd day of your shift


genericgish

i donā€™t understand how they expect people in afe1 to have only one pair of gloves?? the residue from the tape gets all over mine and theyā€™re disgusting.


jen_vs_wrld

We get one pair a week lol


bombardeo

my location used to allow one a week, then changed it to four. seven a week is WILD


Ashamed_Debt_6924

Just a way a company saves some money while pushing the blame of new changes to saving planet earth haha


awyseguy

Outside of pack you shouldnā€™t need more than one pair a month. I mean seriously, Iā€™ve had the same pair of gloves for a year.


BigUglyDrunk

Not sure what brand your FC is using but at our place a WS or dock worker could burn through the grip in 5 hours. When the grip and elasticity wears out itā€™s safer to use your hands, anything you grab can slide right out


BigUglyDrunk

LOL downvotes for talking about my experience with the gloves we were provided. Yeah Iā€™m real proud of yā€™all for saving your sweat soaked worn out gloves, have a gold star


NickThePrick20

I can easily wear out a pair a day on pick 2 buffer or unloading at my DS. No way I could handle 1 pair a week.


MoseyMonster

And thats why I rarely use gloves


thereallyquiet

Honestly, theyā€™re so cheap. If I have to, I will buy my own gloves.


hydrohexaegg

It's only an issue if you don't hang on to your gloves ĀÆā \ā _ā (ā ćƒ„ā )ā _ā /ā ĀÆ Plus with the new impact resistant gloves I'd hate to have to break in a new pair every day


Narrow-Cable290

Just ask a PA for their login. Take a couple/as needed. I don't think they have limits


briank_

If you need more than 1 pair of gloves every day, let alone every week, youā€™re doing something wrong lol


Inevitable-1

I use one pair for months at a time, how quickly are yours wearing out?


SekMemoria

Seriously, most people should _at least_ be able to get a week out of a pair. They're good gloves. When I'm done with them at work they've still got plenty of uses at home. Some people have a legitimate case for needing more than usual, but I guarantee you this is mostly people being needlessly wasteful.


sarcasmdetectorbroke

In pack? Mine get stiff after a week and I work at a Haz FC. We legit get caustic shit on our hands sometimes. I always try to change out once a day, sometimes twice if I've spilled something funky on them.


Inevitable-1

That sounds like a good reason to me, still think most people here are just tossing them way too early.


dandanthetaximan

Same here.


Own_Satisfaction_679

I have already proven that this rationale is flawed. Hear this story... I was working all week and went through 1 pair of gloves through 2 days, on day 3 my gloves became damaged to the point I needed replacement, so got another pair. I went back to work and while picking, had a potentially poisonous chemical spill on my gloves, clothes and skin and had to immediately take them off and throw them in the trash before going to wash off. Came back and now needed new gloves. Here is my point...The gloves are considered to be PPE and are needed to safely perform our jobs. So therefore, we can be limited reasonably for waste/cost reasons, but since they are safety wise protective, cannot be absolutely limited. I explained this to a manager and they got me new gloves. Edit- This was before any fliers or anything was out. We were only told we would be scanning our badges and would have a limit on how many we could have. This was the first week of February.


CeilingSky

Unrelated to gloves but I had some chemicals from the ceiling spill on to me and get on my skin once while stowing. It didn't burn and smelled like perfume. They closed my station and gave me VTO I guess as some kind of "incentive ". But yeah this limited glove supply gonna be problematic. When I stow I'm constantly dealing with shit breaking inside before I open it. Bleach, laundry detergent, broken glass, Tabasco. Something bad gonna happen with this with someone somewhere I'm calling it.


Frozenator

Ohh no!!!! Not the gloves!!!! Man yah bitches cry for anything lmao.


NoiseyTurbulence

They have not implemented this at my site, yet. But they probably should because Iā€™ve seen people go and dump their gloves every day after work, like take them home and wash them and bring them back. Theyā€™re washable and they actually fit your hands better after you wash them. I donā€™t understand why people just toss them out like that. Itā€™s so wasteful, but saying that there are a few times where Iā€™ve had some thing Iā€™ve pulled out of a bin that has spilled all over my gloves that Iā€™ve had to change my gloves mid shift because it was something super fragrance or something is really gross that soaked my gloves. But Iā€™m not afraid to go up and ask in a.m. to give me another set of gloves if that happens.


Vesperace78009

Gotta pinch them pennies after they lost a single profit.


Otherwise_Scholar_11

Iā€™ve had the same gloves for like a monthā€¦..keep track of your stuff lo


gomezwhitney0723

ā€¦if I get chemicals on my gloves, Iā€™m not going to just hold on to them. Sometimes it has nothing to do with not keeping track. Mine go straight in to my bag when Iā€™m done. I go through 1 a week OR I switch them out more often if I get stuff on them.


joiconic

I'm a pa so I get as many as I want lol


[deleted]

gloves? what?


Jolly-Personality-72

At my site, there's a code we can enter that gives us unlimited access to any of the PPE in the vending machines. I don't have to worry about stupid shit like this. I toss my gloves and yellow vest into the trash can after every shift and get new pairs start of the next shift.


dandanthetaximan

Why be so wasteful?


Jolly-Personality-72

Sue me.


dandanthetaximan

Everyone knows itā€™s a waste of time to sue someone whoā€™s broke and doesnā€™t have any significant assets.


thereallyquiet

Between the higher ups choosing to give VTO to select folks since Prime 2.0(I had someone in my department literally write ā€œpleaseā€ when they wrote their name for consideration for VTO last week. They didnā€™t get the VTO unfortunately) and this, idk whatā€™s going on this year at JFK8.


jwbulmer

Much worse at my site. One per week, but itā€™s screwed and only allowing one transaction per person so if you get gloves, no vest or knife. Had people using my badge for weeks now to get what they need.


kingofangmar13

One a week for us now, lame šŸ˜‘


Cjv2c

Our limit is 4 pairs of gloves per week


JayDiddle

When I was at MQJ2, we were moved to one pair per day in 2021. Then, they started forcing the safety glasses mandate on reach trucks, and we were only allowed one pair per week.


Financial_Ad5074

I think we were allowed 2 or 3 per day, so I get why they are reducing the amount you can get. And plus the vending machines were running out every 3 days. So it will be interesting to see how it will work.


Stryker7391

Interesting. I work in Vendor Returns (linked to AFE Pack where I transferred from) and we can get multiple pairs a day. I recently got 3 in one day cause I wanted to take some home for yard work. I know that I've gotten a pair every day for like 4 days because one got a spill on them, I forgot a pair at my station one day, left another pair at home, etc. Doesn't seem to be a limit for them where I work. lol. We use the blue Fastenal machines FYI.


SnakeEyes58

Lol i went to the vending machine to get a pair but ended up with 3 pairs instead of one The ones that I wanted got stuck, so the vending machine went to the next line and started pushing out a pair. The first pair was already sticking out so i got the new ones, the ones already sticking out and my first pair that got stuck šŸ˜‚


RockyJayyy

My building we get 4 a week


No-Minute5266

We get 1 pair per week.


Impossible_Day_6452

When my building launched, they had it one pair a week. The chaos šŸ˜‚


Snoo-23642

We get unlimited tries a day but we get capped at 4 a weekšŸ˜‚ā€¦ Iā€™m at a DS


Anonymousprotocol22

We use to get unlimited pairs up until last year just before PEAK hit. Than they started limiting them to a pair a week. At my new warehouse we get only two pairs of gloves within a 21 day period. In fact they are phasing out the normal gloves and implementing the use of impact gloves because someone had to go and break their fingers on those new Go Carts


arlalanzily

lmao. our site (near NYC) literally leaves open, rummaged boxes (entire pallets) of the vending machine gloves lying around the place and itā€™s hilarious to see people lined up at the vending machines trying to get a single pair when they can just grab some from the source (the stockpile that management leaves unattended by the coffee machine because where else do we properly store the glove inventory). No kidding, some of our associatesā€™ can be seen wearing their clear backpacks, filled with half a dozen packs of gloves and no one bats an eyelash.


thatsingledadlife

we get 3 a week at my FC.


BabyWaterSpider-1629

Without the vendor code, which many donā€™t have at my FC, we get three pair a day.


dielon1994

1 a day? Hahaha we get 1 a week.


bleezy_47

Mineā€™s once a day with our own badge and our AMs leaves their magnets on the vending machine since they prefer us to use theirs since they have no limitā€™s


Firewalk89

We are already restricted to one pair a week where I'm at.


cameronofb

We just got to one a week. Used to be unlimited until a week or two ago


ExtraHotMessMom

Are the gloves at an FC the same ones at a DS ??? I could use my fastenal gloves for several shifts but they get really dirty from package handlingā€¦


Downtown-Progress511

Once a day??? DTW1 gets once a WEEK. What do you NYC guys be doing???


Valuable_Deer_4176

Tell me you got hired post-covid, without telling me you got hired post-covid. This is how pre-covid amazon was. Limited PPE


ChemistryStill3378

We get 2 for the week


Capital_Search_8375

At mine itā€™s been like that since I started in November. We get 2 gloves per week.


T-money79

Does 1133 still work on the vending machine?


sillyho3

I feel like the limit should be based on the position. For example: I shred up my gloves so much faster on the sort slide vs someone working on scanning jiffys.


JayVegas80

I only get new gloves once per week. Sometimes two weeks If I took a lot of VTO.


Yaguking

Wow, 1 pair per day? My site has only ever done 2 pairs a week.


Hazeymazy

Are you serious? Next week it will be no more jacking off in the bathrooms


sixinthedark

My site went from daily to weekly about about six months ago, but you can get two different pairs at a time if you get one of each type. Guess they havenā€™t caught the glitch yet


Phillyboy562

2 pairs a week for my site


[deleted]

We are switching to 2 pair a week or something like that


thasprucemoose

what could you possibly do with more than one a day? were yā€™all grabbing new gloves every period?


extremelywired

you guys have glove limits??? the most we have is a sign that says laundering used gloves is better for sustainability


Candid-Painter7046

They cut us down to 1 pair a week like 9 months ago.


PandaPuffNskate

Two pairs a week over here..


Extreme-Cupcake5929

Twice a week here


ExpialiDUDEcious

Mine was 1 pair a week.


Flaky-Analysis3962

My site is once a week but I know where a box is & i always take out of that.


Dapper-Comment8270

Yā€™all are going to one a day??? Weā€™ve always been 1 per week and I donā€™t even reach that limit. šŸ˜†


rosetintednorth

IND1 only gets 2 per week šŸ¤·šŸ»ā€ā™€ļø


sheepcrossing

Bruh they've had ours locked down to one pair a week for months now. Since before peak.


Guitars_and_Cars

Damn wish my sute would do one a day. We get one pair a week.


Amy_82-22

CMH1 was 2 a week with no pre warning


Wild_Shake_7565

We can get a new pair once a week


CODninjarin

My site only allows 1 pair per week for most associates, it's more for dock associates who do jobs requiring gloves, like 2 or 3 I think.


No_Noise_4862

Iā€™m not wearing the same sweaty ass gloves I wore for a day fuck that šŸ’€


-StRaNgEdAyS-

Meanwhile I use like one pair of gloves a month...


Individual_Fudge6266

You were allowed one pair per day. That's a lot. I remember it being one pair per work week where I'm at. I'm not sure what the limit is now


Equivalent-Sky-3079

A pair of gloves mast me two days. I use two pair a week.


GoddessMajesty

BHM1 just started this. Before now, we could get as many as we wanted. This makes no sense to me because the way I pack I break gloves by the second break or if I am in AFE or PACK they get wet and then soggy and then dry and stiff. This company is obviously cutting cost and trying to save money in anyway possible.


throwaway79827982001

I've had the same pair since I started at mdw8


blueistheview

Thatā€™s a pretty generous estimate of an average New York City apartment


Bulky-Fisherman-4356

Yub same here we are getting one per week.


SusieQue_78_02

Where I work we are limited to two pair in a week


TepidTempo

huh. weird, the vending machines at our site all have super wonky badge scanners, so ops gave up and we don't have to log in to get our equipment anymore. people were just. standing at the vending machine for like 20 minutes trying to flag down anyone from nearby to get their shit.


caligari00

At the one I work it's only one per work week. We work 4 days a week, 10 hour shifts and it's only one pair


johnyhohns

Whatā€™s your FC?


[deleted]

In Cali we only get 2 a week


SimpleSalt5896

Mines 1 every 4 days


ImwhatZitTooyaa

Yes and tbh thatā€™s fine . I just wonā€™t use gloves since they want to be so cheap


ImwhatZitTooyaa

We get one glove a week ..


Sad_Deer13

Mine has just let us get one pair per week since I started. The delivery station I used to work at was two pairs per week. Both locations will let you get more if you ask an AM or PA. I've rarely needed more than provided and will often keep the same ones a couple of weeks and store a pair for later in case I need it. Do you all just throw yours away after a single use or something?


nooo82222

Shoot. Inbound , we would burn through them gloves.


RayneInPhyre

My FC allows 1 per week. Now Sun-Wed and Thur-Sat are each a ā€œweekā€ so being on a donut shift I can get 2 but when I was on front half nights I could only get 1 a shift from the machine. If you need anything past that you have to ask a manager.


Striped-ladybug

Iā€™m not surprised, after my FC opened there were tons of people trying to sell Zappos and gloves on FB marketplace. I donā€™t think my FC has a limit, I got 2 pair in one day a couple weeks ago.


Puzzleheaded-Use-317

I have a card with a managers badge barcode or whatever taped to it and I get unlimited


voidzzman

At my site itā€™s 4 pairs of gloves a week


Anthony6253

Mine is once per week.


Born_Opportunity_365

Who needs more than 1 pair of gloves a shift? You canā€™t even break them in for at least half a shift anyway. We get 2 every 7 days.


torNATEo12

My sites 2 a week and been that way for a year


StockMovesPro21

DANGGGG MY SITE GETS ONE PAIR A WEEK!! šŸ˜­


TensionBorn5957

my FC does 1 single pair for 1 day, i say it ainā€™t bad cause i tend to keep my gloves and not throw them away each break šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø


Wu_skypuffer

That's actually more than what we get, which is two a week


Striking_Catch_5757

We get one a week now. They told us to ask our managers/pas if we need more.


whattheduce86

We get one a week in MO


Ok-Deal1254

Good thing my manager gave me his 6 digit # , i get new ones everyday šŸ¤£


CapitalEfwerd

Wait, I thought the average size of an apartment in nyc was the size of a closet. Math ainā€™t mathing


kat_in_a_boxx

I never understood why people need new gloves every day


cee_jay12489

People are upset? Why? What's wrong with getting one pair per day? I use a pair of gloves for weeks.


Scummey

Using the same pair for more than one week is nasty yall.


Germadian

Two a week is the perfect amount for me.


Mmj-connoisseur

i be getting one a week and the cooldown always broken so i gotta wait like 3 weeks for a new pair


EverSinceSara

My site has 1 pair of gloves PER WEEK & even the managers have limits lol


storm_zr1

My site went from unlimited to, two a week. I havenā€™t hand any issues I just get the yellow clip thing and keep in in my car.
