You are walking around and lifting heavy shit for 10 hours. good workout though.

Have you worked other jobs? How does it compare to staffing agency/factory jobs?

It was a delivery associate job. Got assigned 100+ stops in a massive thunderstorm with no help and constant monitoring while you're driving. I'm a consultant during weekdays and wanted a weekend job. I quickly realized it wasn't worth it for me.

Don't fuck it up my guy, I'll know. I'm at Amazon's global security operations center. We know about everything that happens as it pertains to both warehouse and delivery personnel and corresponding operations. I saw a report of someone getting fired because they threw a penny across a warehouse vaguely in someone's direction. The penny missed by a mile but it makes no difference.

luckily I only work 5 hour shifts, but they're pretty physical and my shift starts at 5AM, not too bad but after awhile it starts to take a toll.

>>19998937
im only 19 so I haven't had any non wagie jobs. I worked at a movie theater from 16-18 y/o, hated every bit of it, very weird customers and horrible management. After that I tried working at two different places at the same time, one as a dishwasher at a Mexican restaurant, (only worked one shift and never again lol that shit was awful) and the other as a delivery driver for jimmy johns (minimum wage plus tips which was pretty decent for a kid who doesn't have any bills to pay) and then eventually I ended up getting hired at amazon around the time corona started to really pick up in the US.

TLDR; it can be bad, but imo not as bad as where I've worked before mainly because this is the most money I've ever made

The shart is real. Burgers have a decent sized lower class. Now imagine this anglo-germanic-euro lower class being exposed to abundance for several generations. Needless to say it has devolved and the shart is a mere symptom of a much bigger issue.

No back/neck problems as of yet, although I do have pretty bad knees and working here is starting to make me realize I might have some issues later in life but it doesn't matter because I've always wanted to ride around in those electric wheelchairs haha

shit job. worked overnight. Mon Tues off Thurs Fri off off. four 10 hour shifts.

i live with my parents who live in the suburbs in the south, I don't feel like getting lynched anytime soon. Instead i'm just saving up wagebux so I can invest/trade so I can have some money to fall back on so I can start all sorts of projects that i wouldn't be able to do otherwise.
