Why is it so hard to move up in Amazon?

18 Upvotes

I work at Amazon and I’ve applied for Learning Ambassador, the Safety Committee, and multiple PA positions. Ever since I got rehired, I’ve either been rejected or just never heard anything back. Lately, when I apply for certain positions, I get rejected almost immediately, which is starting to get really frustrating. I’ve seen people who have been here for less time become Learning Ambassadors, so I’m wondering if I’m missing something. Is there a reason applications get rejected so quickly? Should I talk to HR or my manager and ask what I can improve, or should I just keep waiting and applying? I don’t want to come across as entitled or spoiled—I genuinely want to grow and take on more responsibility. I’m just starting to feel discouraged after so many applications with no luck.

What did you do?

Work history:
Tenure: 1 year 6months
Trained (in): pack, dispatch, pick, stow, SBC
To my knowledge I don’t have any write ups

Reported a minor safety incident, and now I regret it. Am overthinking it?

20 Upvotes

I'm curious how other Amazon FC associates, PAs, managers, and Safety members would view this situation.

I was at the VRC looking for a cart. While I was standing between carts picking one out, another associate came through pushing a train of carts. As they passed, their carts clipped the cart next to me, which bumped into my ankle.

It hurt for maybe 10 seconds, then the pain went away. I grabbed my cart and went back to stowing. About 20 minutes later I noticed some lingering discomfort, so I decided to report the incident to my manager.

Now I kind of regret reporting it.

Safety asked me questions about exactly what happened, including whether the associate was pushing multiple carts. I answered honestly because they asked, but now I'm worried that my report could result in disciplinary action for the other associate.

The thing is, I wasn't trying to get anyone in trouble. I was simply trying to report what happened in case the discomfort turned into something more later. From my perspective, reporting the incident and getting someone disciplined are two very different things.

So I'm curious

Would you have reported this?

Did I overreact by reporting something that seemed minor?

If you work in Safety, HR, or management, is this considered a normal incident report, or did I unintentionally create a much bigger issue than necessary?

If you're an associate, would you be upset with a coworker for reporting something like this, or would you understand why they documented it?

I'm looking for honest opinions from people who actually work in Amazon FCs. I'm not trying to blame anyone or argue with the policy—I just genuinely want to know whether most people think I handled this appropriately or if they would have done something differently.

Thanks in advance for your perspective.

P.S. The associate involved is a well-liked employee, which is part of why I'm feeling so conflicted. I genuinely hope he doesn't lose his job. My only intention in reporting the incident was to create a record in case my ankle ended up bothering me later not to get anyone in trouble. Looking back, if I had known it would become this involved, I probably wouldn't have reported it.

The report wasn't anonymous. Safety had me walk them through exactly where the incident happened, and while I was doing that, another associate walked up and asked what was going on. After I explained that I had reported an incident, his immediate response was, "It wasn't me though." That's when it hit me that people might assume I was trying to get someone in trouble.

I never identified the associate involved, even though I know who it was, because that wasn't my goal. Now I'm worried that people will gossip or jump to conclusions, and I regret that the situation has become much bigger than I ever intended.

EDIT: Thank you to everyone who took the time to comment. I think I've received enough feedback at this point and have a much better understanding of how most associates view the situation. The overwhelming majority of responses have been constructive, and I appreciate everyone who shared their experiences and perspectives, even those who disagreed with how I handled it. My intention was never to get anyone in trouble and I truly hope that employee doesn't get in trouble otherwise it would be injustice in my eyes; I never intended for the situation to be this big of a deal and I thought they'd just document it and send me on my way. I simply wanted to document the incident in case it developed into something more. Thanks again to everyone who contributed.
