Don't really care to keep feeding the zog machine atm tbqh

>>16290000
Nice try on the dead end experience Bezos

>>16290000
To be fair it is a good place to make money. I work at the docks and it is pretty chill over there. Stow sucks though. I would recommend it to dudes that need a job quick.

>>16290000
>Know that I don't care about the job but just want to make money
Always worth a pay cut for this

>>16290000
nice try amzn shill

Yeah this type of job is not bad at all when your young. If you can puck and choose when to work that would be amazing. Make sure you dob in your co-wagies if you catch them doing anything you might get promoted to a comfy amazon management position

if i could do this 15 hours a week just to pay bills and then work on my own shit on the side i probably would

How do you do this

>>16290872
Just apply online bro. There is no interview, only a warehouse tour followed by a drug test/background check. Just hope you don't get stuck in stow. Stow is gay as fuck.Luckily you can cross-train into other things and move up quickly etc.

>>16290000
Nice quads, do yall have forklift operators?

How much do they make?

>>16290923
There are operators and we call them PIT crew. However, you got to work your way up into it. Unfortunately Amazon doesn't let you choose your position in the beginning. What will help is to constantly ask your manager how you can become PIT crew. Eventually you'll get switched to dock work, until then you'll have to some shit like pack or pick. I work in dock and it's honestly the best part of the warehouse.

>>16290923
Also, starting pay is $15 hr. Not sure if PIT makes more.

>>16290898
if you're sober and cannot make more than 18$ an hour. you messed up.

>>16290984
Meh.

I do this. I work wed-sat 7 -530 then have three days to code. I write 6 articles for adsense and reviews. The websites generate 10 bucks a day so far but its passive. I got articles from last year making me 50 cents a day. I review shit that people buy. Its starting to pay off. Yes if you work docks its best. THen inbound. WHATEVER YOU DO DO NOT WORK OUTBOUND OR STOWING!

I've worked for tesla in the factory. I know what fast paced bullshit manufacturing factory jobs are like. I'm sure amazon is easier, but i hate factory warehouse work and foremen can kiss my ass.

I'm never going back.

>>16291278
yeah anon warehouse jobs kind of suck honestly but I would see it as a means to an end, not the end of course

I'm in a sex toy warehouse atm and its pretty chill working in goods in. Planning on leaving in a month or so though. I've been in warehousing for the last 6 years and I'm over it.

You guys have any suggestions?

>>16290000
Isn't minimum wage like $15 in the places that Amazon operates in anyway? At that point, Amazon is hardly a leg up for wagie work

>>16290898
this is tempting
I used to work in a factory part time in shipping
30~ hours a week before I moved for grad school
Now I'm unemployed with way too much free time between classes

>>16291367
If you can find a work schedule that works with your class times you should check it out. I would suggest waiting until after peak season though.

>>16291356
You get discounts on dragon dildos?

>>16290230
Remember seeing those pics. Was it some anon who quit and took a bunch of pics?

>>16291361
This. Especially their management positions. With the amount of overtime you do in "management" it comes out to about $20 an hour AND thats with the "bonus". Kicker is you're salaried which means 40+ hour work weeks don't equal more pay not gonna work Thanksgiving or Christmas. Oh yeah if you quit before the full year for the first or second bonus they can demand it back WITH interest lol thats how they lock you in for 2 years in a row.

wow very good salary sir. you can buy 6 chainlinks per hour sir. buy it

>>16290000
18 dollars an hour cant really buy you anything

>>16290000
True, everybody is ways hating on massive corporations but small business are the biggest jews

I have a cushy 150k corporate job where I basically just check emails and go to meetings. Thought about picking up one of these shiitty pick your own schedule amazon gigs just to buy crypto. Will I be able to live with myself going into this degrading pleb job?

This is a shill thread and Amazon is legit hell on wheels.

T ex-Amazon employee

I'll just quote what one co-worker told me on my first day there , and sums it up perfectly.

"This job is dark-side"

>>16290984
its called internet/gaming addiction
Worse than booze some would say.

>>16291176
What do you do in docks and stowing?

>>16292165
Stowing is placing items in the bin. It sounds eady but is honestly the hardest job in the warehouse. It's more mental than physical as there is a rate you must meet. Also, it's the least automated of all positions. You see, pick and pack at least have computers/projectors that tell you how much to pack, or where to pick. Stow is completely off the top of your head. Now this sounds easy, physically it is. But mentally it sucks because you must meet a rate. Our rate is 200 units stowed per hour. This would be easy if it wasn't for that fact that bins are nearing 100 percent capacity. You also must understand that if you don't make rate you get a write-up, a write-up is death sentence. On the flip side of this is your relationship with yout manager on whether or not they enforce write ups. Luckily my manager started in stow and knows the issues with it. Also keep in mind you have no control over what items you stow. If you get an entire shift of large items you are fucked. This happened to me and I got like 95 items an hour, yeah that shit is torture. The rate is what sucks about Amazon, if they would lower the rate to like 160 it would be cool, the physical work is easy, but when you have uneasy rates you get fucked. This is also why I say to avoid peak. (Part 2 to be conitnued.)

>>16292165
Part deux, Now dock work is originally what I wanted. Dock is split into two main parts. Indoc and outdoc. I currently work in out doc and it is cool as fuck. The best part of dock work is work rotates every part of your shift. Our responsibilities range from loading trucks, to laying items on the conveyor, to building pallets, to problem solve (fixing packages), to pre-load, to palletizing with robots, doing forklift stuff, etc. There are many options and you can ask to get placed in one spot. I currently load trucks and I love it. Shit is a fucking cake walk. But what makes docks so great is that there is no rate and no one to 'coach' you you just hit the doors and stack. Just keep your head low and stay off the radar and you're golden. Fuck stow.

>>16292115
Personal stories?

>>16290000
But you are no longer doing videos Bizonacci we miss you frens

>>16292301
Thanks for the info. I'm thinking of applying in a few months. So you don't get to pick your job I'm assuming?

>>16290000
I started working as a commission based debt collector and after two years there im averaging $33/hr

>>16292354
Whats the job like? Requirements to even get an interview?

>>16292361
Dude they'll hire pretty much anyone that's not stupid enough to wear flip flops to the interview. I mean... Basic shit you know? Hygiene, dress normally(khakis & polo), show up on time.

>>16292349
No, you don't get to pick which job you want. That's one of my biggest criticisms of Amazon. I understand it's mostly entry level positions, but they would heavily decrease the attrition rate if people could at least choose a position that is equal or similar to their abilities. Like I said, I wanted dock work originally, stow was the ONLY position I was trying to avoid. Now, my advice, if you get stuck in a position you hate is to stick it out. I know that sounds like some boomer tier shit but honestly there is a ton of opportunity to advance and cross-train at Amazon. I'm currently looking to be a part of amnesty and slowly move to learning.
If you do decide to go to Amazon, just remember it is more mental than physical, and you usually have a 5 week amnesty period for meeting rate. Also, it's good you're avoiding peak holiday season. I wish you good luck my guy.

>>16292361
The job is easy as fuck. You work on a comp all day in a little cubicle and your phone auto dials people and you ask them for money. If they pay you get a cut. You have to meet a goal every month to actually get paid that cut though. It's hard at first, esp if you've worked customer service.

Best part is though... You're not. When people call in to talk shit because you're a debt collector you can literally say "hey I don't know what you think this is but you don't get to talk to me that way" and depending on their response you fucking hang up on them lmfao

>>16292387
Sorry, I meant to stay move to learning center.

>>16290000
no qt workers. i like restaurants because the females are easy to pound. even the hot ones

>>16290348
This. Seems easy

>>16290000
>Don't give a shit if you don't work there for weeks (as long as you don't schedule yourself to work certain dates)
elaborate?
nice quads btw

>>16290898
>background check
welp, no wagecage for me

>>16292387
>No, you don't get to pick which job you want.

Sounds typical of warehouse/factory work.

>>16292414
I wanna work at a restaurant but I don’t want to serve anybody I know.

>>16292431
Why?

>>16291886
How do I get a job like this? About to graduate. I like the idea of just checking emails and sitting in meetings.

>>16290984
dude.. what..

i am in quite a decent job and i dont make more than $18 (will go up to around 22 in a few years)

how are all you faggots getting these insane paychecks

do you all work for nasa or something lmao

>>16290000
How do I get an amazon warehouse job in europe? I dont find anything

>>16290000
Is nobody going to check this? wtf. Nice get's jeff

>>16290000
Like 99% of amazon warehouse work is redundant, but, someones got to pad the jobs report.

>>16291537
I get half price off anything

is this the fake shill team that was working on twitter the other day?
Like they are called ambassadors and they are paid to post good stuff about amazon.
Stop with the kafka-esque shilling, it's not worth it

> Biz is dead except for minimum wage manual labor for Amazon thread...
What did our friendly jewish overlords mean by this?

Personally I'd hate to be in a position where I'm excited for manual labor. Once thought that it was a great way to lose weight but the stress makes you put on weight.

>>16293635
Kek, stop posting on 4chan and start working out if you want to lose weight fatty

>>16293649
Hey you don't know me!
