yoda Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 Work at DDC3, Amazon DS in Springfield. Most people know I'm a big weather nerd and the such. Just texted our management team about late tonight into Wednesday night re flood threat and tornado threat. This is my favorite part: Me: So there is a good chance of a few tornadoes tomorrow afternoon into early night time period. Let's say there is a tornado warning issued for our area at 9pm (shift starts around then)... does the floor stop what's going on and all staff/AAs report to the severe weather areas in the building until the warning is over? Them: That's a GREAT question. I am not sure how Amazon handles those items from a global operational perspective. Um... okay? Guess I'll be the one making the calls on the floor to manager about any tornado warnings... guess we'll see what happens lol 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maestrobjwa Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 Ya know, I had planned to disengage from here this fall/winter so I wouldn't have to see the typical nina screw jobs coming...but this beat me to it! Smh Ya know, no matter how well you know this region and it's tendencies, it still kinda hurts anyway...but so it goes. But still it's better not to see it beforehand!
