It’s one of the most soul crushing wagie jobs out there

I could see it. Being a tiny cog to one of the ultimate machines. Really makes you think about their use of the term fulfillment xD

>>56146849
I wonder what her butthole smells like?

>>56146849
it's the fluorescent lighting and gargantuan size of the warehouses

>>56146849
what do you mean the amzen wagie box isn't working? did they not use the state of the art mindful practice room?

It's the essence of Jeff Bezos leaking into your head. That dude is fucking crazy and it transfers to his employees.

>>56146849
Is this a paid shill or just a regular shitpost?

>>56146849
i worked there through the holidays a few years ago, i think halloween to slightly after new years
two ten hour shifts on saturday/sunday
it was tolerable for a few months but you could tell that the full timers were having their soul crushed with 6 10s for months at a time

Yeah, I even have the lowest possible wage in the company. I work as a locker associate and the job is too chill for me to quit.

>>56146868
Tell me you've never worked a blue-collar job.

>>56147045
Prolly This

Humans weren't meant to...?

>>56146849
At some point, the sheer scale of their shit would become overwhelmingly oppresive. The individual no longer matters.

I'm an SDE with Amazon, for now (being put into a pivot currently). I can tell you this job has been making me go fucking nuts since I started a year ago.

>>56147182
This

>>56146849
I have worked there

I know exactly what you're saying. I've done a number of low skill wagie jobs, and Amazon is technically less shitty than most of them.

But there's just no way to not lose your mind. The whole thing is just uncanny. It's like the company is not run by actual humans. Every little thing is determined by some backend software. It's like being literally in the matrix.

Yeah I have worked at a fc back when they capped people at 14/hr. Did nights for2 yrs and days 8 months. Saw people go insane. One woman filmed her suicide before getting hit by a train. People constantly fighting with each other, even in friendly ways. Can't explain why but the environment was toxic, favoritism was rampant and the managements sheer disregard for workers probably contributed to mental instability. Didn't help you were stuck in a giant concrete box with no windows or air conditioning in the summer.

>>56147691
i worked for Menards for about a year and it was about the same as what it sounds like you're describing.
100% of the management, top to bottom behave like heartless, soulless bloodthirsty devils. at least half of the general staff behaves the same way, backstabbing vile prickish cunts about everything.
its particularly mind blowing because most of those people even the management are not the brightest folks. semi-well trained robots at best
cameras and cattle gates on every door with sensors and time stamps monitor and control every breath you take every move you make.
it was the most hellish job really

had a pretty normal friend that went to work for amazon (software dev)

after working for them for like 4 fucking months or something he started to act really feminine and constantly talk about politics

is this common? i dont interact with faang type people other than that guy so idk

>>56147231

RIP. Are you gonna take the sev or try to work your way out? How was ur performance review?

I'm glad I found my job. We ship bags of zinc. I'm not even a forklift driver but sometimes I hop on if there's a free one to help. I get paid $15/hr which isn't that much but also my commute is like 5 minutes. It's not ball busting work at all and I can say nigger

i did a fc for a day and i quit mid day. only job ive ever done that for. i wasnt built for it, humbling day for my ADHD ego thinking i could

I worked as a package handler for FedEx. It’s even more difficult than being an amazon worker. It feels like slavery. It’s hell.

>>56146849
Its a modern day Ford style factory. Its progressive. Ford used to employ cripples to open office doors and retards to guve execs hand towels. He was a ruthless, brilliant businness man but he loved his fellow man and wanted to uplift him. Bezos, a jew, is similar but in reverse, he hates all goys and wants to enslave them. So ge employs as many as possible. Same means, different ends. You dumb faggot.

>>56146849
I worked at an Amazon warehouse over the summer like 5 years ago. It was really average. Kept me busy, I listened to music and just did my thing. I kind of agree with you though. No one there was my age, and the people there were actually retarded.

Been there 3 years I dunno it's pretty chill, going to college through them. I think people aren't as physically fit as they believe they are so they tire pretty quick. Strangely I'm happier than I've ever been.

>>56146849
Yes, nightshift for a year. They want to give me a new contract, I refused because I'm going back to college at 32. I had fun, everybody is young, I did special positions.

>>56146849
is amazon wage cage really that bad? i worked at a rite aid warehouse for 6 months, stacking totes on pallets and loading them in trailers. it was pretty comfy. nothing was overly heavy and the pace was reasonable.

>>56149926
it's not so much that it's bad, it's mostly the ruthless efficiency of it all, sucking your soul away. even low iq wagecucks and swe autists get a looming sense of their futility if they stay in the environment too long

>>56146868
I think Amazon even admits you're not supposed to work there for a long time and that they expect huge turnover. They pay you well until you burn out and quit.

>>56150100
>I think Amazon even admits you're not supposed to work there for a long time and that they expect huge turnover. They pay you well until you burn out and quit.
The film and CG industry is like that too. I fucking left after I saved a bit because of pandemic. You don't get paid a lot, I was capped at $60k unless you were lead, and I worked long thankless hours because a producer wants the CGI to be done quick. Once a studio contract is done, you were let go to fend for yourself, then you competing against new hired grads that probably learned new software. CGI/Games studios prey on bright eyed new graduates to fulfill roles, their leads end up becoming a second teacher as a role because they may really not know what their doing but the basics. But we need the bodies because the turnover was insane. Some stick around because they have no other skillset, someone just leave the industry all together, and some become crafty and make CGI porn on Patreon. When I worked in the industry, I could never enjoy playing games or watching CGI movies. Thankfully, I made $500k in 2021 due to the crypto bullrun. Currently unemployed and Im interest in doing the pilot program "zero to hero" to fly planes and shit.

Is Amazon a Stepford Wives/Body Snatcher cult that turns its workers into MK Ultra slaves?

I worked on a high volume call centre for a few months, literally hundreds of calls per day non stop, it was well paying if you got your bonus but that was yanked for the least thing. all of the people who worked longer than 2-3 years there had behavioural issues, how the spoke or interacted, and the few that were there longer had noticeable problems, it's never worth the money, I told them to go fuck themselves when they rostered me in on Christmas Day.

>>56147948
> I'm not even a forklift driver but sometimes I hop on if there's a free one to help.

Do not fucking do that you lunatic, you will kill or main yourself or someone else, and unless you have something in writing asking you to do it you will get no compensation and leave yourself open legally.

>>56147890
Probably take the sev. Haven't decided yet officially, but the thing is, I was putting in 10-12 hour days and being told to do more. Leading up to this I was given very specific goals to hit. One goal I hit, no problem. The other goal I was told after some preliminary steps I'd have X days to complete the goal. I haven't even had a chance to complete the preliminary steps. It's absolute absurdity. And they probably think it's okay because other members of the team are working literally whenever they can't sleep. Feeling restless at 2 am? Get up and work. Madness

>>56147691
>stuck in a giant concrete box with no windows or air conditioning
This is the issue that creates the most mental health problems in any job or career. We are basically plants with complex emotions. We need sunlight and a connection to the outdoors. We can survive in a concrete hellhole, but not without cost. I could create a beautiful, comfortable, worker centric distribution center that people enjoy working at, but it would not pump out the raw metrics that churning through bodies and souls like uncaring matrix machines can.

My ex gf worked there and had the most amazing ass and thighs from all the lifting

>>56150222
Nah it's a prison complex you at least have a sense of bonding and can get along with other people at other workplaces because they have some unique brand or feeling. The big tech warehouse will unironically turn you into a pol anon. So if anything it's like a reverse woke machine. I shit you not the big break rooms are pol irl. You have the black people table, the white people table, the Asian table, the jeet table. The only pc people are the weird managers with boomer tier tech skills no one likes.

>>56146868
>It’s one of the most soul crushing wagie jobs out there
That would be any retail job that has you interact with customers.

i worked in a sort facility for about a year 3rd shift. its was chill. you had to meet a quota but it wasn't outrageous. then after about a year they jacked up the quota to numbers no one could do and got rid of our nice 3rd shift and forced us into the mega cycle shift. with ludicris hours no one could work. so yea. needless to say i left. it was nice while it lasted though.

>>56147846
On weekends you got bonus pay! I go there all the time. One day i was back in the paint dept and listened to an employee yelling about xyz and how it sucks and its shit (lots of swear words, i probably wasn't the only one to hear that). One other thing i've noticed over the years is the age of workers has become very very old. One of the check out ladies had to be in her 70s. I'm wondering if they do job fairs at nursing homes. The 11% shit is getting old. I bet so many of those don't get sent in anymore.

>>56147231
any other SDEs here?

>>56147231
There is an amazon warehouse by where i live that i've been tempted to apply at but not sure i want to. I've done warehouse work, buts it's been years==I'm doing remodeling work right now and that also sucks ass.

Thanks for the warnings. There's an Amazon building near here, but I'll stay away from it. $15/hr is less than I'm making now anyway.

maybe it's just that it's a low skill job that attracts all the mentally ill who can't into other jobs

amazon spent millions on union busting and one of their research papers leaked that diversity in the workplace is one of their methods. The breakroom being racially segregated like prison is exactly what they want to prevent unionization.

>>56146849
I heard Amazon delivery drivers need piss bottles because they don't have time to even use the bathroom. All of it so that people's plastic crap don't get delayed.

Listen only to the sound of my voice. Let your mind relax. Let your thoughts drift. Let the bad memories fade. Let peace be upon you. Surrender yourself to your dreams. Let them wash over you like the gentle waves of the bluest ocean. Let them envelop you. Comfort you.

Imagine somewhere calm. Imagine somewhere safe. Imagine yourself in a frozen forest. You're standing in a clearing. Trees around you so tall, they touch the sky. Pure white snowflakes fall all around. You can feel them melt on your skin. You are not cold. It cannot overcome the warmth of your beating heart. Can you hear it? You only have to listen.

Can you hear it slowing? You're slowing it. You are in control. Calm. At peace

>>56149926
It's not the worse job in the world. It's easy entry level wise and since global pressure has been put on them, they improved some working conditions and wages. But it's not a career or even a long term position. It's something you do for a while to save up on some cash and then go somewhere else. It's unconfirmed but that's what they base their hiring model on.

>>56149926
It's probably the most dehumanizing job in the US. You are going to be constantly gaslighted by management as they violate every labor law in existence and you'll still be broke after working yourself to death

Fuck indian SDMs, fuck Chinese SDE2s and SDE3s, fuck everyone in that hellhole. Digital sweatshop where you have to be down with the globohomo clown or else.

>>56146849
it's alright. I wage it up and load boxes into trailers at a sortation center, which is slightly different from the "fulfillment" centers you see in youtube videos. The monotony and simplicity of the job has me constantly thinking that I could do better.
It doesn't help that my warehouse is in a shitty area of town and has about a 90% black population, so my daily bottled racist thoughts slowly consume me. Just finished an associate's in IT and I'm almost done studying for the A+ cert, so I'm almost out of that shitheap

>>56149926
Did they allow talking to other workers? When i worked at a warehouse we had to really watch when we were talking because the management nazis would tell you to stop.

>>56146849
i worked in a small business warehouse for a few years and it still drove me crazy. great manager, decent people, rotation through different duties, good pay. it's a kind of prison

>>56150292
You sound like a naive idiot. This is common and how you learn to use a forklift in the first place. I learned the same way at my job during the slow season when we were understaffed.

>>56150100
This seems to be a common model now with a lot of jobs. It's like they expect you to burn out so they just extract whatever wealth they can from you until the inevitable happens. How can people be expected to do 40-60 hours a week indefinitely? Medieval peasants never worked that hard.

>>56146849
just the pic you posted looks demonic, like that scene from matrix

>>56146849
reading thru this thread now makes me think of the "going postal" period. where for people who dont know postal workers went nuts because the job drove them crazy. the monotony of doing the same mindless shit every single day made them go insane. so I guess now the new term is "going amazon"

>>56148367

fuck these boxes, man.

I've worked at amazon for about a year and saw 2 people have a breakdown. Keep in mind this is over the 200+ people that have been in my department.
It's always the people that drink the kool-aid and think they are special and smart and deserve promotions and then suddenly realize they are not special and they are just another employee like the others. It's people with undeserved egos getting hit by the reality that they're just another unskilled peasant that drives them mad.
People like me who just clock in -> work -> clock out, do the bare minumum to keep supervisors happy do just fine. After working in construction for half a decade, this job is fucking piss easy and all of these faggotty limp-wristed zoomers who are working their first manual labor job that are complaining and also bringing their own mental issues and then blaming it on amazon.

Soul crushing > back breaking
You need to up your fantasy game. Keep yourself entertained.
Don't give me shit about "I'd rather take back breaking because at least then it's like you're working out!"
No. No it isn't. There's not a fucking thing about working out that has to do with bending over and picking up 50 pound pieces of scrap. All it does is hurt and you get nothing from it but the paycheck, which is only marginally better than doing whatever the lady in the OP is doing.

I never imagined it could be this bad going in. Should have kept the job I had. Half the pay but far beyond worth it.

To add insult to injury, when getting hired into Amazon I asked "will it be remote forever?" And the hiring manager said yes you have the okay to stay remote indefinitely. And during all this RTO business I asked "so that about what I was told during hiring?" And in a bunch of empty corporate speak they basically said that I was lied to.

Great place, Amazon

>>56157664
there sure are a lot of other mindless jobs. i guess with the post office and amazon situation i described is that the people are in a machine. they are a cog on a gear. they cant stop the gear from turning. at least working at mcdonalds you get to see different customers everyday, its mindless but has somewhat of a variety.

>>56156535

>>56146849
They probably went insane due to them pushing therapy and meds during the lockdowns. There were flyers posted all over the building to try it out.I went insane myself during that time because I bought into it at that time and got on zoloft like retard, I almost took my own life because of that shit. I'm off it now, been clean since Aug 2022. I don't see flyers everywhere for mental health stuff anymore at Amazon. Maybe they got wise and realized it caused more harm then good.

>>56146849
I used to work at a Delivery Station. It's where the packages go once they've been boxed by the people at the Fulfillment Center. Its a lot more difficult on the body as you're constantly on your feet and moving heavy shit if you're working the dock. Co-workers ranged from very cool, to shit-stains that actively hinder you from completing the work. I wouldn't go back unless I was in dire straits.

>>56147136
We had one or two of those at the DS. I only ever saw black people eating or sleeping in there.

I worked there for 11 months, icqa, made it to learning ambassador. I did exactly what they wanted, I did a good job and then quit.

People loved me at the job because I actually did the job and all that shit but it was driving me insane actually working there. I was so tired and my body was aching at 30+ years old so I quit. I met all the metrics, exceeded them really, and I definitely was in the running to get promoted but I never participated in their Amazon clubs and other stuff. I did win some giveaways tho.

I also have like, 15 pecy pins. Gonna save them and hope they increase in value like some sort of morbid Pokemon cards

I worked at amazon for one year, before rona chan hit. I hated that place; I talked to H3H3 enjoyers, bartenders that had room mates who pegged/trooned their ex bf's out, so many crazy normies I've encountered working there. When rona chan finally hit; I dawned the tyvek suit, isreali gas mask and a black lab coat with the umbrella corp logo as a joke/paranoia of chinks. Gave security a hard time for trying to IR forehead temp a guy a with a gas mask (Don't break the seal!). Eventually they had a app that let you clock in and out because of rona chan, I stole many of hours lining up another job before getting fired for wage theft. That part was chill; get tired, clock out at midnight, go home and get stoned and get to go normal people shopping in the morning at 8am. My high school buddy, who got me the job, still worked there for a bit before getting fired for wage theft also ended up telling me some guy crashed his car through the glass door front entry to the warehouse.

I'm not really surprised from this event due to HR's orientation going over "What anon should do in a active shooter situation?" That place was hell with robot beeps. Security only existed to stop you from stealing not to protect the workers plus no phone policy for lower wagies. Eventually I got my BS Chem degree through another company but it didn't pay enough, so I ended up freelancing construction/remodel/sunroom/window/finish gigs. Now I can say I'm debating starting an LLC, making money off of casting metals and gardening as a side hustle for when the dollar kicks into hyperinflation. Tbh I love ordering from Amazon from a business perspective, but it's soul crushing work. It's the kind of work meant for communists who can't appreciate the beautiful fairytale dream of a free market. I hope every communist experiences working at Amazon. It taught me that there are two types of hard labor; psychological and physical. Yet that is what a job should be, a learning experience.

>>56157484
This guy is right. I am that unskilled peasant that has a very high opinion of themselves. I actually tried hard and that was like, lol, dumb.

My only real friend Shan, this big black lesbian who got yelled at every shift by the strawbosses still was paid the same as me. Fucking shan, she's the coolest, we'd smoke Newports together and talk cash shit about all the fuckin' normies. She hated black people more than me

One look at pic related and you'd know why.

I work for Amazon in a niche IT role. I will say that I am an L5+. I enjoy it, and the pay is insane. But you have to be the type to enjoy processes, documentation, and focused work or it's likely hell.

I will say, Amazon is making a big push to focus on work life balance now after seeing the effects of their burnout work strategy.

My biggest complaint is that most faang IT folks are puny liberal pussies.

>>56146849
Amazon is basically you being turned into a literal cog in the machine. Everything from the top down is designed to be as dehumanizing as physically possible. Its the kind of job you get if you really need cash yesterday to hold you on until you get something else. Even if you go beyond the 21st century equivalent of the polluted, smog filled factory floor, that coginess is always there. It’ll make you truly understand what the word “wageslave” really entails.

>>56146849
I have never worked there but I would imagine it's because most people can't actually conceptualize something until it's real and happening to them first hand.
For these people that means they are suddenly faced with the harsh reality that their entire existence is to be some worker drone in fact they will eventually be replaced by a literal machine once someone figures out to do it and make it cost efficient.
Maybe if there was something to look forward to outside of work it would be fine.
No one who worked on some assembly line putting bottle caps on jars of milk went insane.
That's probably because they were making the equivalent to $50/hr and after a week of work had the majority of their expenses all covered.
Yeah most people have a hard time with the realization that they are just a modern slave especially when they lack the qualities to do something about it. It's kinda like being buried alive.

>I hope every communist experiences working at Amazon.
Amazon is peak free-market capitalism, wtf you talking about? If it was anything like communism, the workers would own the warehouses and the work would be much better. Amazon spends tons making sure unions don't form. And this is from a commie that worked there.

actually nothing to do with amazon it's WAREHOUSE jobs i've been warning people about them. NEVER WORK in a WAREHOUSE JOB.

warehouse job FUCK you up so bad it will fuck ur back, and give u twisted fucking spine, the stress + helment will give u hairless no mater ur genes.

ESPECIALLY picker, NEVER BE picker, u will be haunched back within 1.5 year. the job is subtle in the way it fucks u up, it doesn't look hard on u as it actually is and it will RUIN U
the black dust there is extreamly toxic to your lungs and skin and will age u very fast. I have seen 25 years old warehouse workers that look 40, one guy had full grey hair at 28

NEVER WORK in warehouse job, i have tried all shitty jobs

go call center and then slowly move to sales, it's the best dead end job u can actually grow form that postion

That’s the sad truth, you go into a job thinking hard work and grit will make you shine. You see people lazy and get so mad because you are busting your ass and they get easy treatment and the same pay.

The truth is you are just a cog and if you work hard you will break and get replaced. You will not be promoted in any meaningful way, you will not double your salary. You will get paid the standard rate so just work the bare minimum. This eats at the soul so you must build up your soul somewhere else.

I never worked at amazon but I worked soulless jobs like it before

>>56146849
there are zero of these white women that work at amazon btw

>>56161539
$280k actually but that doesn't make it right. Technically the job is valued at that because of the years of experience and technical expertise required to get to that point. Yeah yeah I know CS is easy, but the interview process to get into FAANG is not. It's technically challenging.
It's also unethical to sign someone to a 40 hr/w contract and pressure them to working more.
So go ahead and "boohoo" me when I selected a major based on foreseen demand, got my degree, got the technical expertise, and signed an agreement that was broken in more ways than one.

>>56157484
honestly u sound like u are coping too. u put ego into being hard worker construction worker who did far worse and is coming down to these warehouse workers level now.
the truth is nobody gives a shit. the sad reality is since u are a blue collar worker and nobody respects blue collar workers. U can make 300k as construction but u will get less respect than call center pajeet and u are actually lower than him on the social hierarchy just cuz u are physical labor.

most people view physical labor workers as dumb, stinky and stupid with bad genes and ugly. they place them as the lowest human life form and it's just sad reality.

I know because I worked for 3.5 years in physical labor and people treated me completely different when I did and when I didn't. the way u think about garbage workers is probably the same way a office wokrers view you

I've heard the same thing about warehouse workers: bathroom breaks aren't allowed.

>>56157664
Because the mail quite literally never stops

>>56158766
>run out of workers
Then, and only then, will they consider making their jobs more bearable.

>>56158766
That's interesting. I'd heard of their high turnover but hadn't considered that the labor pool is finite and they are so fucking massive they could burn through the whole thing

>>56158257
Subway is a dog shit company that treats its workers like shit. I worked there for a few weeks and can honestly say it’s worse than any warehouse job I’ve ever worked. The absolute worst people go to subway and management will leave you alone with a line out the door

No job is worth killing yourself over. We were paying our senior dev about $150k/year and he did jack shit (so we fired him). I work 8 hours / day max and usually much less now that I have a good handle on things and maybe slightly less than that. Much comfier when you have time to do stuff outside of work and are well-rested (you also get just as much done as the wagie doing 12-16 hour shifts because you don't have to unfuck your work all the time that you didn't realize you screwed up because you were sleep deprived).

A buddy of mine worked at Menards. He worked his way all the way up to department manager and they would pay him to go around the country and help set up new stores, pay his hotel for a month and all that. He still ended up quitting after about 6 years.

Apparently John Menard was an absolute mad lad breaking his own stores and harassing people.
(Sorry about the reddit link but thats the way it goes sometimes)

lol millenials are massive bitches, is just a fucking job that you can quit whetever you want retard, you can move and do another things

Weird way to say "Import more workers".

>>56158766
OPEN THE BORDERS WE NEED BACKUP

>>56161484
Profits use to go to workers and now it goes to shareholders. That’s capitalism. You use to be able to buy so much because you received such a large part for your labor. Now you’re paid enough to make a rent payment and rent other people shit. Soul crunching work isn’t so bad when you are getting paid 150k a year

>>56162655
Yeah, we get it Gen-Xer, you think you aren't a boomer when you had the exact same boomer economy to enjoy paying a full house off installing bottlecaps on coke bottles. Spiritual kike

My life's work is to remove "Gen x" as a definition. Your behavior and lifestyles are literally indifferentiable to that of a boomer.

Well I suppose if you learned nothing from Amazon, you're probably one the many weird normie coworker I don't ever want to interact with. See you in the great war under my boot, communist scum. Please neck yourself or move to Venezuela troon.

>>56162195
Hey I remember you from a thread two weeks ago where you gave us harrowing tales from your ONE day of working in a warehouse lel

>>56157484
This is probably true. I work in a super busy inner city ER and used to bust my fucking ass. Did all my work proactively without being told, took care of patients and carried out orders as they came up, pretty much just did what I needed to do. I was told at my second year employee review that I disappeared a lot, got complaints, and was on thin ice.

That discouraged me enough that I waited for people to tell me what to do and effectively work half has hard, if even that. My next review I was told what glowing praise I was getting and how much I had turned around my work ethic. I literally told my boss that I was working less hard to be more visible, because I was just in patient's rooms and stuff before and she rolled her eyes at me.

It doesn't matter where you work or how skilled you are, you should ALWAYS strive for mediocrity because thinking you're being noticed will literally drive you crazy

>>56146849
You’re just a lazy millennial looser. Get back to work, you entitled faggot! You’re probably a dumb whites person like ops picrel anyway so ofc you’re going to complain like a bitch.

been working at amazon for a year now
ask me anything yo. It's actually pretty aight

>>56152083
That’s the white media complaining and making shit up so people don’t get nice things. It doesn’t take long to park at the gas station or grocery store and take a shit.

I read this entire thread out of morbid curiosity, and all I can say is it sounds fucking horrible. The comments about some other labor jobs being harder aren't inaccurate but there's something to be said for the psychological suffering of being a cog in a big cement box. I wish the best for all of you. Life wasn't supposed to be this way.

I think its more that they fire you quickly and dont rehire for a year or two. They dont want you hanging around. So after a few years you essentially have like the entire available labor pool in 4 buckets: hired currently, just fired, soon to be available to hire, available to work right now. Amazon is running out of the available group. they just need to stop firing people after 6 months imo.

For a young man who doesn't give a shit to serve his country or police forces, intermittently job hopping between schooling, or forgoing higher education entirely for the time being, Amazon warehouses don't seem like the worst place to be employed at.
It seems like a solid grind for that paycheck, and I think they pay slightly above minimum wage if I'm not mistaken.
Beats my first job which paid 7.25 an hour that's for sure

>>56157664
But i work at a factory where I'm shipping out double my annual pay daily and I'm cool with it. I think it helps that what i make will get used to make things that will last decades or more

>>56157484
This
Working hard is for dog's and chumps quietquittingwas the best thing i ever did, unfortunately the warehouse I work at is constantly understaffed and the pay isn't wining anyone over.

>>56167105
I'm getting paid $20.50 right now. Starting pay for my area is $19.50 now. It's very consistent work on a schedule and you have full healthcare benefits. I'm taking a month off right now to go on vacation. Took a month and half off at the start of the year too

>>56167589
>I'm taking a month off right now to go on vacation
Do you just quit and they just rehire you when you return? Amazon doesn't seem like the company that would allow that time off even if it's unpaid.

280k, are you SDE L5? AWS or some other subsidiary? I'm currently in Devices, its pretty chill, put in 8 hours a day and thats it, you should try switching out of your team if you still can.
how bad is the attrition rate at your org/team? somehow my team is still growing headcount, so i guess they can't work us to the bone to force attrition yet

>>56151309
/biz and /g are always flooded with swes, youd think 6 fig wagies would have better things to do than spend time in this hellhole

>>56167754
L5 would be around 600k after stonks

not even L7s get 600k

I already did all the hard work and now I just coast off it.


If you young guys with no ambition want an ez path to making 'good' money (not great) just go work in a decent restaurant.
Get yourself cleaned up and in shape enough so people won't lose their appetite when they see you and take an entry level position.
You will actually have to work hard enough so that you stand out and people value you as an asset.
The fact you're (I assume) not a complete retard and actually speak English are going to unironically get you half way there.
Once you get a job serving you'll probably get the dog shit shifts to start but you'll be able to pick up better ones and over time as you become better at your job and other people crash and burn you'll be able to get better and better schedules.
The only thing I will tell you is that you need to have an exit plan or you will get stuck in the hell hole of restaurant industry. It's fun when you're some young 20-something and you hang out with the other staff bar hopping and going to house parties but it gets really bleak when you're in your 30s because even if you're a GM making 6 figures you're going to be on call 24/7 and have no separation between work and life.
Just never work at a dogshit place like Applebee's or Cheesecake Factory, always pick up shifts when you can, and never take a management position.

This is a lot of collusion and cooperation between SWE's like this in the career climb. Goes hand in hand with open source culture. Levels was built because Glassdoor became compromised, Levels will undoubtedly get compromised too then the cycle will repeat.

>>56167628
No you can take a thing called personal leave if absence. Yoy can basically leave for any reason for minimum 15 days up to 45 days. You can take 90 days total a year unpaid. You also build paid fine, unpaid, and vacation all year as well.

>>56146849
I get paid $16 an hour to watch CCTV for 8 hours and mark employees that waste too much time on phones or whatever, so managers can dog their ass.
If you work reasonably hard, no one is going to bother you.

High volume call center says hi!

>>56170425
can you at least fuck around on the pc browsing shit while you chat?

It's unbelievable but I'm grateful it's available as an option in a pinch.

that was my last day. i still very much needed the money, but the dread was too much to bear. also this was in the GTA, so the body odour situation clouded my judgement.

>>56170435
I used to work in VA call center. You had no time to do because you were looking up complicated benefits plans for vets, even then, your web usage is tracked.

The calls did not stop from 11:30 to 8pm.
