Agree, don't take the call and see what Amazon does. They may not have anything if they didn't follow their own procedures (warning, etc).



Regarding Uber, it used to be a 1099/contractor job, but new legislation just passed in CA where it may soon be W-2 (not sure when). Even so, there are the other issues described above about it becoming your "suitable work" and not really being worth it part-time, availability, etc to seriously consider before proceeding.

Threshold was 14hrs, my 2.5 days put me at 20hrs or so. Considering how big of a company they are, they aren't exactly organized. Also I worked overnight and there usually wasn't a "main boss" at the site, or ever any HR, probably why nothing happened that first day.

Edit: I was fired, turned in badge and all, on about the 1st of September. I got an email on the 14th or so saying I was gonna be fired if I didn't excuse the days I'd missed since then. Emailed them and said I was already terminated, they confirmed it and I got notice on the 18th that I was "officially terminated" on the 17th.

This company really does not have lower priority stuff like this organized.

Small Update: Interview was today. Didn't take the call, voicemail said I had until the 10th to call them back and do the interview, after that the decision will be made on available information.

So we'll see how it goes with what they have. Thanks again for the help, everyone.
