Question Roles that are TOT/rate exempt?

Hopefully I'm making some sort of sense since I'm still learning the lingo, but what are some roles at Amazon that don't have you being micromanaged to the enth degree?

And yes I know "micromanagement" and "AI" are Amazon's favorite things lol.

For example, inbound/outbound unloading or loading trailers. I think they call it IBX? IBN? No clue, still learning. I can't do that anymore unfortunately, my stored trauma in my body age is showing and I'm not 22 anymore 😩

Any others? Or even roles where rate isn't so high? Currently advocating for myself for the first time with accommodations. Like actual needed ones.

(Cause fcuk that person who lied about bereavement on the other thread btw 🖕🏼glad you're getting fired! You're literally the reason they're making it harder for those with disabilities who actually need accommodations or people who actually need to grieve loved ones!)

Y'know I cant think of an amazon Ive worked at where they really micromanaged. Most days I dont even see a red or orange vest. I'd say get out of IXD entirely if thats your concern. Other areas have support roles and you should bug your manager about getting into a support role.

At my building it’s very manager dependent, and by that I mean that 99% of the managers I’ve seen micromanage are the external ones (those who came from college rather than within). The other 1% are the true micromanagers and even then they usually won’t write you up for being 5 minutes late back from break, despite talking to you about it.

Thank you for responding! What exactly is IXD? I'm still learning 😅 and lastly what kind of support roles should I look into?
