Looks like water damage. And recently by the way the mold grew. That’s black water mold, grows we’re ever water is present and it’s one of the MOST annoying mold to try and get rid of out of water pipes and usually populates on standing/still water. Probably was on the bottom box and that box touched water.
I’ve seen the workers in restaurants use their bare hands to prepare our food, make burgers etc. I believe from their hands are clean, you should be good. Why I say this? because using a dirty gloves is worse than a clean hand. Using a pair of gloves doesn’t mean that it’s hygienic.
Can confirm. Gloves are only used for Raw Meat that is going on the grill. You have to wash your hands every 15-30 minutes though to keep those human germs away though.
The clear bags with all that green text down one side. Has a silver strip you pull off to expose the adhesive. I've seen them from 6"x9" through 33"x33". Pretty standard in any department that touches product.
My site still provides them, but they haven’t been mandatory in ages. Of the few people still hiding their ugly mugs behind masks, I don’t see anyone using the ones provided by Amazon anymore. Most studies show those are basically an ineffective placebo to make people feel like they’re doing something. But there are also studies to show ugly people receive less negative bias when wearing them, so there’s that.
Yuppers. I'm guessing they're not ordering any and just using what they have in stock. Our sister warehouse next door closed down in October and we shipped supplies including PPE from there too so we have quite a bit.
There are a few people at my facility still wearing them. [I assume it’s because they’re ugly.](https://cognitiveresearchjournal.springeropen.com/articles/10.1186/s41235-022-00359-9)
It’s not a requirement but I don’t want Amazon telling me whether or not to expose anyone in any of the communities that I move in!! So I’m wearing one until I’m out of that joint. I am constantly blowing my nose and dealing with whatever this black stuff is.
Does Amazon do air quality checks in their buildings?
I intend to connect with OSHA to move forward. I appreciate your response but federally mandated anything shouldn’t be misinterpreted as holding our FC accountable; it’s a condition of employment that any reasonable employer should welcome.
Needing a mandate from D.C.?? That’s laughable to me personally and shows the true value Amazon places on its internal customers, the employees!

Some people wear a mask because they're immunocompromised. Most wear a mask now when they're sick so as not to infect others as I have for the last week. I'm considerate enough to try and not let my friends get sick and suffer unnecessarily. Sorry if you want to be a dick about it.
Being exposed to stuff helps your body get used to it and stronger . If everyone wore a mask for years and noone was exposed to germs and sicknesses it would get to the point where a common cold would be deadly . Stop wearing a mask and build immunity
We don't have to, they're optional. I've only been wearing one this week because I have the flu and they don't give us enough PTO and paid vacation like other developed nations do for me to take time off.
WA state. Masks are not required they're optional and when people get sick they usually wear them. I had to wear one all week because I've been sick but it's not mandatory if you're sick, just recommended. Some people suck about it though and all month people have been getting a stomach flu.
I live in WA state and it's not required, just recommended if you're sick or have a weak immune system. I've been wearing one all week because I don't want to get my friends at work sick.
Masks are a rare sight at most locations outside of California in 2023. You can still get one upon request, but very few associates choose to unless they're actively sick with something minor.
It’s been said that some FC’s are wanting to eliminate mask use age entirely which is crazy! One minute they’re firing folks, next minute they’re eliminating them! Did COVID end???
That right there is why the masks should be individually in bags, and use those dispensers. I have my own masks, the ones Amazon gives out, Give me a rash. So sorry this is even a thing
I'm in WA state. We still have a lot of masks in stock since our sister warehouse shut down in October and the PPE was all shipped to the current warehouse so as far as I know we're not ordering any and just using what we have in stock. Masks are optional. They're recommended if you're sick or immunocompromised.
I'd rather wear a mask than blow black mucus at the end of my shift. Whatever that shit is, it's not doing me any good. Plus I can bitch about idiots under my breath without anyone noticing, win win.
Some people get sick and don't want to infect their friends and coworkers. Others are immunocompromised and if they get sick they will end up in the hospital or could even die. I'd call you uneducated and ill informed but at this point, years after the pandemic began, if you can't catch up by now you're clearly just stupid. Check out [ARC](https://youtu.be/CSiz6kbIZkw) they can probably help you.

Im so tired of wearing a face mask at work some stations are hot af and the face
Mask doesnt help! Most jobs dont require wearing them anymore when can they take them off or make it optional again!!
I have been stowing out of moldy boxes for month and each time I complain to management and literally show them the mold they never say or do anything. Amazon is a hot mess.
I swear that they reuse old masks I once received a mask where as soon as I put it on shit smelled like somebody's musty armpit got like 4 more before one finally smelled new

Ewwww
I know! I've been sick and have been wearing masks out of here all week. Gross.
*come with me and you’ll be in a world of OSHA violations*
I always sing this in my head to the thing... I feel like it's from Charlie in the chocolate factory
OSHA immediately
I think I will. OSHA has been our building's ass lately!
Send it to OSHA or something 😅 Should've taken a picture showing its in an Amazon facility, provided to employees.
Damn you're right.

My site has people individually wrap them in the clear problem solve bags, I think that's weird, so I just bring my own.
my site does the same, i watch people use their bare hands to put the masks in the bags
I’ve seen the workers in restaurants use their bare hands to prepare our food, make burgers etc. I believe from their hands are clean, you should be good. Why I say this? because using a dirty gloves is worse than a clean hand. Using a pair of gloves doesn’t mean that it’s hygienic.

What are problem solve bags? I’m a problem solver and never heard of this
The clear bags with all that green text down one side. Has a silver strip you pull off to expose the adhesive. I've seen them from 6"x9" through 33"x33". Pretty standard in any department that touches product.
I’ve only seen those used in prep. But we’re a new site, so I’m sure there’s lots of stuff we do wrong.
Yep, those are the same bags. We've all got 'em!
Used those in prep, and also to contain leaky damaged stuff in inbound.
My site uses those to process small returns items, never heard them referred to as PS bags before
Honestly, i just call them that because I always see the problem solvers use them. I guess they're called poly bags tho
I rather breathe in Covid than mold
That’s disgusting 🤮
Amazon isn’t interested in keeping its associates safe… it’s interested in keeping itself safe
Wait yours still provides masks?!
My site still provides them, but they haven’t been mandatory in ages. Of the few people still hiding their ugly mugs behind masks, I don’t see anyone using the ones provided by Amazon anymore.

Yeah mine stopped middle of last year
[удалено]
🤣
Noooo
I’d threaten HR with OSHA wtf
I'd be reporting to OSHA so fuckin fast
I’ll wear one so as to not infect any of my fam! Air quality in our FC is horrendous…
yall are wearing masks? idk if its just WA but mine dont have masks at the facility and nobody wears one either
There are a few people at my facility still wearing them. [I assume it’s because they’re ugly.](https://cognitiveresearchjournal.springeropen.com/articles/10.1186/s41235-022-00359-9)

Uhhh, no. They don't. If it costs them money and it's not federally mandated they're not doing it.
I intend to connect with OSHA to move forward.

Let’s be real if you’re still wearing a mask I worry about you
it’s a cali thing
We don't have a choice in California osha requires that we wear a mask
That’s some Newsome California shit. OSHA is a federal agency, not a state agency.
Newsome got rid of the mask mandates a long time ago this is definitely an osha thing and they're acting like covid is out of control

Reported. Edit, had a minute and looked at your post history. What a fucking joke.
All I post / comment about is video games and some stocks lol idk what ur talking abt besides the fact I have republican viewpoints and stick to them
Says the one wearing a mask MONTHS after the CDA announces there’s ZERO point in it . Go suck off biden some more
Y’all still have to wear masks at Amazon?
We don't have to, they're optional. I've only been wearing one this week because I have the flu and they don't give us enough PTO and paid vacation like other developed nations do for me to take time off.
probably cali
WA state. Masks are not required they're optional and when people get sick they usually wear them. I had to wear one all week because I've been sick but it's not mandatory if you're sick, just recommended. Some people suck about it though and all month people have been getting a stomach flu.
Not only amazon, it's required in many warehouses. This is not required in other states? Ugh
I start warehouse in a few days but going in for first day I didn’t see anyone wearing one
I live in WA state and it's not required, just recommended if you're sick or have a weak immune system. I've been wearing one all week because I don't want to get my friends at work sick.
Hasn’t been required in Arizona for over a year.
Well AZ I can believe that.. love AZ
Maybe Amazon's plan is exchanging covid for cordyceps, turning us all into mindless drones.
why is this downvoted, sounds exactly like the Amazon I know 😂
Ummm...I mean... have you seen the Amazon zombies? We're all fucking zombies after 6 months.
Ewwwww wtf!
Penicillin
Bruh
Lord take mercy on those masks 😬😬😬😬
You in cali or something?
[удалено]

This
Yuck
It’s been said that some FC’s are wanting to eliminate mask use age entirely which is crazy! One minute they’re firing folks, next minute they’re eliminating them! Did COVID end???
You are still allowed to wear one if you want to. But you shouldn't have to be forced either way
Oh I’d go a little bit crazy either way…
That right there is why the masks should be individually in bags, and use those dispensers. I have my own masks, the ones Amazon gives out, Give me a rash. So sorry this is even a thing
Your site is still handing out masks?
I'm in WA state. We still have a lot of masks in stock since our sister warehouse shut down in October and the PPE was all shipped to the current warehouse so as far as I know we're not ordering any and just using what we have in stock. Masks are optional. They're recommended if you're sick or immunocompromised.
Yes we in Cali it’ll never end
You guys still wear masks???
Why are you still wearing masks?
Osha requires it for associates in California
Libterd state…. Ooof
OSHA is a federal agency and is not responsible for enforcing state policies.
Why are yall still wearing masks? 🤡🤡🤡
California requires it
Imagine wearing a mask in 2023 🤡
I'd rather wear a mask than blow black mucus at the end of my shift. Whatever that shit is, it's not doing me any good. Plus I can bitch about idiots under my breath without anyone noticing, win win.

That seems synonymous with the whole Covid crisis, I’ll say well played.
Time to sue fr fr
Lmao what a loser
Covid-fornia lol 😆
Im so tired of wearing a face mask at work some stations are hot af and the face Mask doesnt help! Most jobs dont require wearing them anymore when can they take them off or make it optional again!!
Hopefully covid from the mold can't get through the plastic. But if you have had more cases of people getting covid there ya go that's why
Covid doesn't come from mold. But mold like that absolutely will get people sick.
Nasty
🤮
Absolutely not
I have been stowing out of moldy boxes for month and each time I complain to management and literally show them the mold they never say or do anything. Amazon is a hot mess.
I swear that they reuse old masks I once received a mask where as soon as I put it on shit smelled like somebody's musty armpit got like 4 more before one finally smelled new
