I hope they include the part where you have to walk 10 minutes to a bathroom only to find the cleaning ladies have blocked it off. That shit happens WAY too often
You NEVER accept a supervisor or management position at the same company you've been working for. It just makes it way easier for them to invent a reason to get rid of you.
I worked at one of these plantations for 4 years (2020-2024) and if you enjoy seeing the sun set, and then rise when you leave then Amazon is for you. The breakroom thing is too true and I myself had been written up a few times for using the bathroom lol.
Boys. I just left a warehouse job after 11 years. I actually feel like I am back to civilian life, after some time served or some shit. Warehouse is a soulless corporate environment. I have huge respect to anyone working more than few years. It is almost like jail with pay.
Time to 1)find your purpose 2) stay on your purpose without drifting. Let life pull you into another random job you'll be making another similar comment in 10-20 years.
I'm almost 2 years in and I don't mind it. It's better than most standard warehouses and the pay is good. I have worked some warehouse jobs that felt like Auschwitz and the pay to match. People that work those jobs more than a year must have some ungodly resilience.
@@PowerofRock24 Great stuff! Of course there are great places to work even as a warehouse hehe, and you work there so happy to hear it is actually working well.
I worked at a UPS warehouse years ago. My biggest wake up call was when we had a guy get ran over dead in front of everyone, blood everywhere and we were told by management to keep working. They sectioned it off and covered up his body. They covered it up and it was never on the news or anything although I’m sure the man’s family got a settlement. Never even put up a plaque for him or acknowledged he died there even though he’d been there a decade and died there. I quit the next week and got a restaurant job that at least felt safer.
@@thingserik7269 at the airport. Ran over by a feeder truck. They actually smashed him in between the dock when the truck was backing up. It sprayed blood and shit everywhere it was crazy, his torso looked like ground beef and the supervisors just moved him and put a plastic rain gear thing over him and said don’t look at it.
I watched a man have a heart attack literally die in the warehouse. He had been there for 44 years in the same position. My friend performed cpr and saved his life so he could enjoy his retirement saving at least.
Worked at a warehouse for a few years and purposely got myself fired to move into self employment. Only one guy died during the time I was there it was a delivery driver from Eastern Europe, guys piss would smell like pure ammonia and sulphur he'd never flush the urinal and his piss was amber brown. Turns out he drank himself to death, approx 2-3 bottles of hard liquor a day.
And very young ones too... happened to me when I was in receive Amazon, a 21 young girl being my so called "manager" everyone was calling her "princess".

My first job after getting out of the Army was at a warehouse, did it for two years living pay check to pay check while raising my first daughter and having a stay at home girlfriend, somehow made it work. Got a job offer to travel the country doing highway construction making more than double the money I was making at the time and didn’t even tell anyone in the warehouse that I was going to quit, left my scanner on my lift parked it right in front of the doors we walked in everyday and just disappeared from that place never to be seen again. 4 years into the construction gig right now and I go for foreman training this winter so I can start running my own crew of guys next year. FUCK working at a warehouse.
@@Scz_. the short answer is join Union, but first you need to decide which Union to join. There’s a big three when it comes to highway construction, finishers, laborers and operators. You can join a carpenters union, or even the ironworkers or pipe layers even electricians but you’re less likely to find those on a highway construction site. You can just Google those types of unions near you, and all kinds of different Union halls will show up. Just pick the one closest to you that is in which field do you decide on. Look up their benefits, payscales, and retirement plans. Those are going to differ wherever you’re located. For me, I’m in Ohio and I’m a laborer. I get paid more than anyone apart from the operators. But I also do the hardest physical work, but my benefits are good, and the age required to retire is lower than any of the other unions. Granted that’s because we do the hardest work and our bodies breakdown sooner but you kinda have to pick your poison. Also the operators, Unions are fairly hard to get into. I tried, went through the training and testing but just wasn’t one of the top scores so they didn’t take me. Lots of test operators unions. But few get in. Once you’re in a union, let your Union rep know that you’re interested in highway construction. Your union rep will give you job offers, until you find one that you like. Anytime these Union based companies need workers they let the unions know and your union rep will set everything up. There’s no interviews, only orientations. Don’t worry about not knowing anything, your Union will put you through an apprentice program and they will teach you everything you need to know. If there’s any bad grammar or misspelling, I apologize. I’m using voice to text. If you have any more questions. Just look my name up on any form of social media and you’ll find me.
I’m in the same position. I’m About to try to juggle 2 jobs for a year so I can go to school to get my CDL . I was going to school a few years ago, but I had to some stuff I had to deal with so I had to put it on hold.. This is only temporary so that I can get to where I want to go
The fact they include “walking away from the workstation” and “walking to the workstation” as part of your break in these giant warehouses where it takes a minimum of 5-10 minutes to get anywhere should be fucking illegal
For real lol besides that warehouse work isn't very complicated at all. Just don't be late, smile, avoid as much drama as possible and do a good job but not too good of a job bc it won't get u anything but more work for the same pay.
Home Depot gave us 5 min to make the walk, which was enough. I'm not saying HD is great, just that they gave us time to get to break. However it was up to you to remember when your break was. Many times I lost track of time and missed a break entirely because it's not announced or anything. You just hope someone working near you lets you know it's break time.
My last day in a warehouse is within 3 days. I been working here for 15 years. I'm 37 and I can't believe how much time I wasted being here. Some people really do grow old in places like these and it's quite sad. Don't want to live and regret it so I'm moving on to something else.
I agree. been working in a warehouse for a few years now and the worst for me is seeing the old people and how bitter/miserable they are. I say to myself I never want that to be me so I'm currently in trade school to become an electrician. working in a warehouse is miserable. I can see why those jobs have such an insanely high suicide rate.
yep. i saved up all the money i could and got a side hustle going to get out of the warehouse. i got lucky and was able to be self employed only after 3 years of warehouse work (age 17-20)
@@ДжабраиловичI have also been working at a warehouse for a few years now…😂 about to turn 23 and I truly can’t do this shit anymore. The 12 hour swing shifts are brutal… and seeing all these old crabby ass dudes just makes me wanna get out of here even more. I fucked up though and bought a nice truck so I’ll be here for at least another year or two more but hopefully the car detailing business I’m starting up gets me out of here for good. This place pays good and has great benefits but it’s terrible for any social life and overall mental health. I hope everybody can get out of these warehouse jobs.
@@elimcfly350I think what he meant is that a lot of warehouse employees are the human equivalent of a dirty diaper. Socializing with them on a day to day basis is more soul crushing than the work itself.
Working at Amazon is the worst job I've ever had. Difficult on your body, the money sucks, and the hours are always terrible. I know a lot of people say that "at least it's better than talking to customers." I work customer service now, and even the customers are easier to deal with than Amazon management.
My old job used to get more mad if you came in late than if you called in sick, thays why if I was going to be late I just called in and saved myself a 8 minute lecture about how being 2 minutes late affects the whole team and store 😂 😂
Yeah im 25 and basically have worked warehouse jobs since 16 and they are pretty cool but my last job at 23 i just didnt give a fuck anymore i wouldnt ask for permission to leave early i would just leave and i didnt care about being a minute late because i was already planning on quitting to raise my new born and that was the best decision ive ever made i get to see my little girl grow up something my dad didnt get to do since he died when i was 3.
Spot on. To give you an idea how bad the warehouse job is; I went back to working in restaurants and being disrespected by the general public every day rather than go back to the warehouse. I have the utmost respect for anyone who stays at the warehouse for more than a year. I have since realised that no matter where you are, you are contributing to society just by going to work, and that is always respectable. God bless.
Not all warehouse jobs are bad. Post Office warehouse work is similar, but has higher pay and better facilities. Thought some warehouse jobs I've had felt like a concentration camp.
I worked in a retail distribution center for 3 years. This is so accurate. Soulless, mind-numbing work where safety is preached but not practiced and performance expectations are impossible to meet.
This is literally the paper mill I work at lol, mind numbing is the best way to put it… working for 12 hours is more of a test of mental fortitude, I just try to shut my brain off and black out through the shift. Also the safety shit is so fucking true🙄 they act as if any part of our job is safe even though I’ve watched people lose arms and fingers like it’s nothing. My first day on the job I wasn’t really told anything but thank god I had an old co worker with me (Gerald he’s my favorite guy here lol) but he picked 19 year old me right up by the shirt collar before my hand got caught in the machine and since then he’s been my best friend here lol. He’s also pushed me to get out of here and start my car detailing business which starts up next week, hopefully in a year or two I won’t ever have to work here again.
Bruh this video is exactly how it is. I only worked at Amazon for a month because it was the most depressing job I’ve ever experienced in my life. The conversations with the people that have been there for years are actually the worst. They want to leave with every ounce of their being but they can’t because they have bills and kids. Struggling with bills, going to work and then dealing with shit at home is just a miserable existence. Some people I talked to would rather be at work because of what’s going on at home. I would feel bad for some of those people honestly, like damn we’ve really gotta do something so people aren’t struggling this bad. That’s not life at all
"We have to do something" is not the answer. Everyone gets out of life what they put in. In this life you can only save yourself, if they are content with how their life is going then it's on them, only they can chant their circumstances
@DaHxiBeSeRk Based take and yes you can only really save yourself from this fate.. there is no magic commie collectivism that will save the day .. every man for himself
You and\or a family members probably order from Amazon at least 2-4times a month. Hate to break it to ya, but ware houses make up a large portion of the Economy… blame capitalism at you want when consumerism is just as bad…. 🤷♂️🐑🤷♂️🐑
I worked at a warehouse 34 years paycheck to paycheck never did get ahead retired with nothing I just sit at home drinking vodka nowadays in pain trying to forget the madness. wishing you guys the best.
Been in a warehouse for almost 2 years now. The pay is great and I'm putting some money aside. Hopefully I can ride this out maybe another 2-3 years and find something else.
Careful with drinking. Pancreas pain is real and I still have it after 3 years sober. I got off drinking with marijuana gummies after many years trying and failing with other methods. Good luck to you!
I applied for Amazon during Covid. The warehouse was in the middle of nowhere and it was a long ride there. Searched for it for about an hour then went home as I couldn’t find it. This was a blessing in disguise
I worked at an Amazon warehouse back around 2012 for a few months. I was a packer so I'd stand at my station and other workers would be cart loads of items that I would scan and box up. It wasn't terrible I suppose but standing in one spot for around 8-12 hours doing the same thing over and over was so boring. I suppose that is how most factory/warehouse jobs are. Some people don't mind it but it wasn't for me. Where I work now I'm on my feet pretty much the whole day but it doesn't bother me. However working in a warehouse/factory and standing in one single spot the entire time was killer on my legs. I wanted so bad to sit down for just a minute or two but there were no chairs or anywhere to sit. Yet the supervisors who seemed to do basically nothing had nice office chairs to sit in all day. I didn't work there when it got to this point but apparently during the busy holiday season people work 6 12 hour days a week! That is insane, you are basically living there at that point. All you'd be doing is working then driving home to sleep for a few hours to wake up and drive back. Personally I think even a 40 hour work week is too much. 30-32 hours a week 4 days a week should be the norm. A person's life shouldn't revolve around work. Maybe one day society will improve.
There are several Amazon buildings, and the GPS sometimes takes you to the wrong one. Very easy to not be able to find one especially since you can’t ask any of the workers because they either don’t know or don’t care enough to help.
im a nurse atm and as hard as this job is, i would never go back to working at a warehouse. hands down the worst job iv ever encountered. terrible work life balance, terrible conditions, managers are ass,
Three years ago I was working at a warehouse for about 2 years or so worst job I ever had in my life would not allow anyone in my family to work at any warehouse unless it’s the ABSOLUTE last option

This was my life for 6 years between the age of 18-24. Started 7pm finished 7am! When you seldom see day-light life gets a little strange. My "friend" there was a man in his 40s that had five kids. To this day, i don't know how he did it. Finally, I went to University and was fortunate enough to end up very well-off. But even at 35 years old with a luxury car and son in private school I CONSTANTLY dream about my time there. Doesn't help that the company was a terrible one called "DX"
Search for other jobs man. Don't be unhappy at a warehouse that can replace u within a day. Fight for your future. Do or start to pursue something you enjoy
@@yaboijedi6653 It’s not that easy. My friend works at Amazon and he stays there because that job is very reliable. If you do decent enough, they will. Also has really great benefits. They are known for having them. But the hours are terrible. He works from 7 to 6. Four days a week and only makes $22 an hour.
« Work hard, have fun, make history » I remember seeing these stupid words at the Amazon restaurant when I was working there. Thanks god I’m no longer living this slave job
@@Awareness_With_Dennis I first worked as delivery guy for Uber Eats when I was 18, then at Amazon as warehouseman for 1 month and then I became a train driver at the national railway company.

Keep pursuing your dreams, make the right choices and don’t listen to anyone who tells you’re ain’t going to make it in life 💪
I worked the graveyard shift at an Amazon warehouse for 2 weeks a couple years ago. It was such a depressing place. Your every movement and metric is tracked by managers who are constantly doing rounds to "check in with people about their performance metrics". I tried to bring as much positive energy as I could every day. I remember saying something to this girl working next to me about the song that was playing and she just kindof stared at me blankly and mumbled something unintelligible before returning to work. Later that week she came up and said something to me in an apologetic way- as if to make amends for how she brushed me off earlier. Maybe I got through to her on some level and woke her back up from her wage-slave trance for a day or two, or maybe I'm reading into it too much, but either way it more or less felt like I was throwing positive energy into a blackhole of despair. One time they "did something nice for the employees" by offering us all some packages of cookies mid-shift. I heard one dude say "Man these are expired!". It was true, the only reason they gave us the cookies is because they were several months expired. So yea... it actually does get worse than a pizza party. My heart goes out to the workers who are trapped there for one reason or another. The so-called peons are the ones that keep society from collapsing at the end of the day. Stay strong my working class brothers and sisters✊
I was class of 2020 in university. Covid hit and I was laid off right after I graduated. Had no choice but to work warehouse and ended up working there for a year. It was the most depressing year of my life. No exaggeration, this video was spot on. Even though I don’t make as much as I want with my new job, my mental is healthy. That’s all that matters.
Bro almost exactly the same. I handed in my notice at an investment firm right before lockdown, had to work in a warehouse. I was close to tears a couple of times on the way there it was so soul crushing
I worked at Amazon warehouse so true parts are 1. Walking 10 minutes to canteen and 10 minutes from canteen 2. Every month exchange of staff aka hoard of new people and slowly not seeing your "friends" 3. Every month meeting new "friends" where they spontanously talk to you but more so during work than on a break 4. Manager coming up to you because you were 1 minute or 2 minute late, they call it offtask time and when you have couple of those then manager will find you 5. Changing workstations from good to shit but not really as a punishment 6. Scanning that god damn blue card everywhere,they call it badge 7. You start when its dark and you leave when its dark Other parts like introduction to work, they actually babysit you for couple of days so you will get your work rolling. You can get a cooked meal on the spot for a penny but its during unpaid Lunch break. You can actually sit down for a minute, they have chairs in some places designated for sitting, you look weird if you just sit there but sure you can tie your shoe or drink water slowly for a minute
When i was 17, i worked as a waitress- 15 hours a day, 2-2. And there were no windows in that restaurant, so i can relate to your experience: it was dark when i was commuting to work, and it was dark on my way back.
For us the walk was 10 or 15 minutes depending on how busy it was and the worst part about it is that its set up so I have to walk by my bosses office so sometimes when im at the vending machine he comes out of nowhere and starts lecturing me about my poor time management and how I should come prepared next time and stuff. Definitely not good times.
Should let the employees use electric scooters with a lil wagon or bucket to carry things. I mean genuinely that would make things go way faster. Save people their feet and time. Would increase their volume of packages they send out too.
Kid's nowadays are too weak. Everything hurts but they don't see how this can strengthen then mentally and physically. I use to think like a weakling too but then I got tough. You're lucky you weren't born in the 50's and looking for work, you would probably suicide if you think this is hard.
Nothing makes me value my mindless job more than watching these videos and recollections about times gone by when i had jobs of Low budget stories style:).
Why is everyone using the phrase “ that hit hard “ and “ this hit hard” all of a sudden. It’s like people here that phrase and start a bad habit with it
At my first warehouse job, an employee told my on my first day that if I stay here all of my hopes and dreams will die. I didnt last more than 1 year. Slowly recovery and picking up the broken pieces of my heart. I'm ok.
@@jozefsk7456not everyone has too much free time like you. Working hours are long and people just want to sleep at night before work witch it starts very early
@@jozefsk7456it took me years to figure this out but you’re right, waking up early and doing something is better than trying to sleep to the very last second
I worked in two warehouses, it’s a fucking hopeless job. But I’m incredibly proud I did them. The odds of being born are approximately 1 in 400 trillion. And I believe that no man - or woman of course - was born to work in such a desolate, miserable environment. The biggest miracle in my life was getting fired from the second warehouse I worked at for ‘gross misconduct’, when in reality I just did what my supervisor told me to do - which is typical warehouse behaviour to be fair. That allowed me to say: ‘I’ll never be in such a place ever again’ And I began to kick on in life My parents didn’t bust their balls to have me doing stuff like that, getting ordered about by single-minded, unintelligent, out of touch idiots in an absolute shithole. If you’re reading this and you enjoy your work, I’m delighted for you. Happiness and fulfilment is what we all strive for in one way or another - be it through work, relationships, or personal triumphs. If you’re, like me when I worked in these establishments, hating every second. Everything will be okay. If you truly want more from life and are miserable in your current state, make a change - do something, even if it’s going to the gym or trying something novel. Do something God bless you all, and good luck in your respective quests for fulfilment.

Wasted 3 years of my life in what seemed like an endless cycle of deadend warehouse work. Im so glad I broke away. This video brings back such depressing and hopeless memories.
@philippebergeron5821 glad it only took you a few months to realize it. I look back now and remember some of the people I worked with. Some did it for 20 and 30 years. Unfortunate for them, but fortunate for me, many of them told me to take another route. Definitely glad I listened.

As an Amazon FC worker I was so happy watching this upload! LOL I will say Amazon is good for what it is. I have never had a job where I could just literally leave and not get fired or not call in sick. They call it UPT or Unpaid Time. As long as you don't go into the negatives you cant get fired. So if you don't feel like showing up or if you wanna leave early you just tell your manager and walk out.
I worked at Amazon last Christmas until February and it wasn't bad at all. I'd actually worked at the same Amazon 4 years ago and it was like a hell hole, during that time it was different. There was no leaving the site and we couldn't even have our phones on site. This time it was so much better, we had "Emergency Holiday" which is 5 hours a month where you can just leave and you still get paid. I was also lucky that the managers on my shift were all cool, they didn't play favourites. Unfortunately there wasn't enough volume of work so literally no one got their contracts extended beyond an extra month.
@@Sasquatch10 Yeah they probably treated everyone better around that time because they needed ppl there during their busiest period (Christmas) If you worked there at any other time you'd be treated just like before
I worked in a warehouse for 5 years and met some great people, but it is a soul destroying job. i remember 1 year, it was xmas eve, and everybody worked together to get everything done as fast as possible so we could go home and enjoy the 1 day off we got for xmas, our superviser phoned management to get the all clear for us to go, management declined and made us all clean the warehouse until our shift was done 😂.

@@Awareness_With_Dennis Amazon breaks are a joke and they’re strict on safety and productivity. They even make ridiculous safety rules which are not osha required to lower our productivity rate but at the same time they’re blabbering about not making enough rate which ends up a written warning and possibly termination.
@@Awareness_With_Dennis Amazon expects insane rates to discourage long-time employees because in their eyes once someone stays long enough they'll just get tired and want to settle for mediocrity(at least until they get a pay raise).

I worked at an Amazon Fulfillment center as an Operations Manager (L6). There was only 1 guy in the building that was above me. I was overseeing hundreds of people. I felt so bad at how they were treated like kids. There was a set 10 minute break every 2 hours. They had to scan badges for everything done. If 1 minute late, they were talked to. They were given prizes much like Chuck E Cheese if they built up enough points like an Amazon water bottle, wristlet, or Amazon shirt. Like trading in points accrued for prizes where I could just go and grab any of the items if I wanted to as a manager. There was a metal detector at the door to prevent stealing packages. They were just a cog in the machine making $15 an hour. Most were kids, but the ones 30 or older, I just felt so bad for.
I fucking hate the operation manager we have at ours. Ex military guy so you can imagine. I feel so bad how management talks about employees in every meeting. It's disgusting.
I've worked in a lot of warehouses after uni before my current job. High turnover, constant hiring and firing of temporary workers, terrible work conditions, lots of weirdos and mean bosses. The way they treat staff should not be legal, you have very few rights and there is so much corruption higher up
Worked for UNFI in Ridgefield, WA. Worked from 9:30 AM until the work was done. You would continue to click into boards until you were eventually told “Request For Assignment is Not Allowed” which could be anywhere from 6 PM rarely to 3 AM most days. They never told new hires that they could ask to come in later per state law after a late shift, so most people were back at it only 5-6 hours later. Worst job I’ve ever had. Complete and total fucking nightmare. I watched several people irreversibly maim themselves and they told us to keep working. One safety meeting and it was forgotten the next week. We used to beg the new hires to quit before they made it onto the floor. I got fired because a selector unplugged my riding jack while I was accelerating and I drifted into a wall. The HR manager told me not to even bother with unemployment because it was such a “clear cut case” that it wouldn’t be worth my time and effort. She was fired for unrelated reasons a week later and the state of WA ruled in my favor. Fucking miserable industry. Never let somebody convince you the money is worth it. It isn’t.
Funny I worked there too about 4 weeks ago, now I work at dollar tree. I completely agree about that place fuck UNFI, pay was great but good luck having a life you enjoy working 18 hours shifts sometimes or just working less than 20 to 30 hours a month. I got fired for having a earbud in working in the chill department. One department manager I hated the most and hated me too was Richard. But I hope you’re doing better outside of that place. :)

The Fulfillment Center wasn't too bad since it was part-time and not too long later got the 15 dollar pay increase. I was a water spider there (basically, i wrapped pallets and printed out the labels) At least for me, the manager didn't really care about my rate or anything since i was basically the guy who knew how to do everything when they needed me to. It was honestly a pretty good job overall. When i went to the warhouse, that's where i ran into what wojak was dealing with, except i worked inbound. ( I stowed clothes and supplies into drawers.) Basically, it was a rat race of your rate, not being off task..not taking too long to grab a new cart when your cart ran out of stuff. Having like 10 minutes breaks once it was your designated break time. Lots of walking (walked 10 miles on a slow day, 25 on a super busy day. )Working 10 hours days. 7am to 5:30pm. ( It was worse for me because at the time, i didn't drive, so i actually worked up around 4 am. to get there by 6am.) Got home by 8:30pm. I quit the job when i got I Pushed to the edge by new management and left. It's been about a year and a half now since i quit. And im glad i did. My legs thank me the most, lol.
@@humb1s3rvantyou either get Sunday-Wednesday 40 hours/week also known as front half. Then back half is Wednesday-Saturday 40 hours/week. Mandatory extra time (MET) gets scheduled around Thanksgiving to Christmas usually six 55 hour weeks 11 hours days. Then you have prime day which is really like a prime week for Amazon employees, you get 50 hours for a week or two during those prime day sales. On top of this you can pick up shifts through the app if you want more hours, but you can’t work more than 60 hours/week it’s a policy at Amazon.
@@humb1s3rvantIt’s 4 days and 10 hours. You get a 5th day when it gets busy (overtime) I know this cause I use to work at an Amazon Fulfillment Center. The schedule is legit rough.
I worked at a warehouse for almost 7 years and it was the worst employment experience of my life. My friend and I (whom I met while working there) still talk about it more than 10 years later. I still don’t understand how I lasted as long at that job as I did. I certainly couldn’t do it today.
I wanted to order something from amazon, but this video changed my mind. I am not contributing to hurting those people. The likes of Bezos should be in the warehouse.
As a warehouse worker, I thank you. I really do appreciate it. All that useless Amazon crap I see just depresses me. You don't NEED it. Support your local high street. It may be more costly, but it helps your community, and you're not just going to the high street to buy shoes. You're living your life, and not just soullessly clicking "add to cart" and forgetting the people that have to process that order. I respect that. It's always better to go out and meet people in your community. Amazon is a hell.
My warehouse went bankrupt (serves them right), then i went to another where i constantly heard "you're not good enough" (been hearing that my whole life). Seriously if i have to slave away like that my whole life just to pay the bills and shit, I'd rather oof myself.
I worked a warehouse job that was so disorganized i could clock out as I pleased. They finally called me out on it and said I could still work if i wanted to 😂
Worked for a warehouse, one of the coworkers I got hired on with within 2 months got his legs crushed by another fellow forklift operator. I ate lunch with him and another coworker one day upstairs 5 min after lunch they were shutting down all operations due to this guy getting crushed. I left the day after. Never regretted it
If you're going to work in a warehouse make sure it's a union facility. At my warehouse for example they are required to include travel time to and from the break room so you can take your full break. Jobs are bid by seniority so supervisors can't randomly reassign someone like that as acts of retaliation or playing favorites etc. We also have an early retirement defined benefit pension plan because yeah, for a lot of folks, this isn't temporary.
@@2gunzup07 I'll keep that private for now but any of the major grocery chains or food brands are good places to start. You can actually call up some of your local Teamster or Union offices and ask them; even if they don't personally handle any local warehouse contracts they'll point you in the right direction.
I ones worked at a bakery factory. No Windows no contact with others just walking around and doing stuff like stacking bags of flower or cleaning . Rolling and stuff .no cell phones allowed or watch . No way to tell the time . Just wait until the bell goes and you will have a very awkward break with weird people. Time never went so slow.... It was very hot Inside it was litelary like hell. I quit that job after 5 days . Never felt so much despair i would literally choose to be homeless over 1 more day at that place it literally still gives me Nightmares now and then
I can feel you brother I tried to work at different warehouses because of money but couldn't continue more than 20 days in anyone of them. It's better to just die than work in these places
What a horrific existence. Its almost like every single aspect of the job has been specifically chosen to impart the most misery on the workers, isn't it? Sunlight? Colour? Nature? Comfort? Basic human empathy? Nah none of those things matter, accept your concrete hell. FUCK, THAT.

Worked night shift at Staples one summer during Uni. So the shift started when the store closed and ended when it opened in the morning. The thrill lasted for about two days, then slow…monotonous hell….. nice aspect, as it was a night job, we were locked in the store and no supervisors. Restocking the pen/pencil isle was tedious. We had to make sure we cleared a certain number of pallets per night. The other coworkers blasted music all night throughout the store, so that was ok. The worst job was collapsing boxes and dragging them to the box crusher. Never ending boxes, open box, restock….open another box. I was glad it ended after a few months; I could feel my brain going to mush.
Worked for the Bass Pro warehouse for 2 years. Got fired. Now I’m working at a warehouse for Coxhealth. Though it’s not a hard job, I don’t find it very filling in life. I’m only 21 though so it shouldn’t be that big but just being inside all day and just putting things in boxes is just dull as hell sometimes and it doesn’t help if you’re depressed. I enjoy my coworkers but the job itself is just so dull. Anyone who’s working a warehouse job, I do hope you find a position or job that fills you with joy and makes you proud.

This is 100% accurate. Worked at a warehouse as my first job. I quickly realized i had to leave when my supervisor called me and said i had to work harder my second day on learning the job. I left after 3 and a half months and picked up my studies again.
literally supervisor was clapping his hands while saying push guys push push and walking across the warehouse with a cup of coffe. They treat you like a slave.
Working retail you like is better than a share house all jobs have their downsides but where houses will grind you down and spit you out. Only benefit of share house is overtime hours and realistically is 400 dollars extra at the end of the week worth working literally 6 days and sleeping from exhaustion on the 7th?
This was actually the root of my severe depression. I was 21 years old and it was only my second job ever. Very hard work, had the worst schedule ever. Worked from 1AM to like 12PM. Driving to work early late while you’re the only car in the road was kinda liberating (being the only car lol) but also saddening. Like everyone else is probably sleeping at home and yet here I am going to work. The work environment was no better either. If felt like we were trapped in a prison and forced to work labor in order for us to be free (go home). I eventually got laid off because my position was temporary and I couldn’t have been happier lol. There was no way I’d be working there for the rest of my life. My first paycheck after two fucking weeks was 1k and some change. Fast forward 5 years later I learned about stocks and now I’m making that same amount in a day trading stocks sitting in my room. I could never go back to a 9-5 when I have this crazy opportunity presenting itself everyday.
I currently work at warehouse and want to start stock trading I’ve been watching pros to learn about it, thanks for sharing your experience and I’m definitely gonna look for a better opportunity
Tell us about stocks my guy! Help others get out of the warehouse! What do you do? Where do you start? What are good ones to buy into that almost never fail? WE NEED TO KNOW HELP YOUR FELLOW HUMANS OUT PLEASE

I worked at a UPS warehouse years ago. My biggest wake up call was when we had a guy get ran over dead in front of everyone, blood everywhere and we were told by management to keep working. They sectioned it off and covered up his body. They covered it up and it was never on the news or anything although I’m sure the man’s family got a settlement. Never even put up a plaque for him or acknowledged he died there even though he’d been there a decade and died there. I quit the next week and got a restaurant job that at least felt safer.
that's horrible...
That’s terrible but it’s sad that it doesn’t surprise me
What was he runover by? Inside or outside?
@@thingserik7269 at the airport. Ran over by a feeder truck. They actually smashed him in between the dock when the truck was backing up.

My first job after getting out of the Army was at a warehouse, did it for two years living pay check to pay check while raising my first daughter and having a stay at home girlfriend, somehow made it work. Got a job offer to travel the country doing highway construction making more than double the money I was making at the time and didn’t even tell anyone in the warehouse that I was going to quit, left my scanner on my lift parked it right in front of the doors we walked in everyday and just disappeared from that place never to be seen again. 4 years into the construction gig right now and I go for foreman training this winter so I can start running my own crew of guys next year. FUCK working at a warehouse.
How does one get into highway construction
@@Scz_. the short answer is join Union, but first you need to decide which Union to join. There’s a big three when it comes to highway construction, finishers, laborers and operators. You can join a carpenters union, or even the ironworkers or pipe layers even electricians but you’re less likely to find those on a highway construction site. You can just Google those types of unions near you, and all kinds of different Union halls will show up. Just pick the one closest to you that is in which field do you decide on. Look up their benefits, payscales, and retirement plans. Those are going to differ wherever you’re located. For me, I’m in Ohio and I’m a laborer. I get paid more than anyone apart from the operators. But I also do the hardest physical work, but my benefits are good, and the age required to retire is lower than any of the other unions. Granted that’s because we do the hardest work and our bodies breakdown sooner but you kinda have to pick your poison. Also the operators, Unions are fairly hard to get into. I tried, went through the training and testing but just wasn’t one of the top scores so they didn’t take me. Lots of test operators unions. But few get in. Once you’re in a union, let your Union rep know that you’re interested in highway construction. Your union rep will give you job offers, until you find one that you like. Anytime these Union based companies need workers they let the unions know and your union rep will set everything up. There’s no interviews, only orientations. Don’t worry about not knowing anything, your Union will put you through an apprentice program and they will teach you everything you need to know. If there’s any bad grammar or misspelling, I apologize. I’m using voice to text. If you have any more questions. Just look my name up on any form of social media and you’ll find me.

How about more , but smaller, break rooms?
Home Depot gave us 5 min to make the walk, which was enough. I'm not saying HD is great, just that they gave us time to get to break. However it was up to you to remember when your break was. Many times I lost track of time and missed a break entirely because it's not announced or anything. You just hope someone working near you lets you know it's break time.

What happens if you tell them to shut up.
Spot on. To give you an idea how bad the warehouse job is; I went back to working in restaurants and being disrespected by the general public every day rather than go back to the warehouse. I have the utmost respect for anyone who stays at the warehouse for more than a year. I have since realised that no matter where you are, you are contributing to society just by going to work, and that is always respectable. God bless.
Not all warehouse jobs are bad. Post Office warehouse work is similar, but has higher pay and better facilities. Thought some warehouse jobs I've had felt like a concentration camp.

I applied for Amazon during Covid. The warehouse was in the middle of nowhere and it was a long ride there. Searched for it for about an hour then went home as I couldn’t find it.
This was a blessing in disguise
I worked at an Amazon warehouse back around 2012 for a few months. I was a packer so I'd stand at my station and other workers would be cart loads of items that I would scan and box up. It wasn't terrible I suppose but standing in one spot for around 8-12 hours doing the same thing over and over was so boring. I suppose that is how most factory/warehouse jobs are. Some people don't mind it but it wasn't for me. Where I work now I'm on my feet pretty much the whole day but it doesn't bother me. However working in a warehouse/factory and standing in one single spot the entire time was killer on my legs. I wanted so bad to sit down for just a minute or two but there were no chairs or anywhere to sit. Yet the supervisors who seemed to do basically nothing had nice office chairs to sit in all day. I didn't work there when it got to this point but apparently during the busy holiday season people work 6 12 hour days a week! That is insane, you are basically living there at that point. All you'd be doing is working then driving home to sleep for a few hours to wake up and drive back. Personally I think even a 40 hour work week is too much. 30-32 hours a week 4 days a week should be the norm. A person's life shouldn't revolve around work. Maybe one day society will improve.

This was my life for 6 years between the age of 18-24. Started 7pm finished 7am!
When you seldom see day-light life gets a little strange. My "friend" there was a man in his 40s that had five kids. To this day, i don't know how he did it.
Finally, I went to University and was fortunate enough to end up very well-off. But even at 35 years old with a luxury car and son in private school I CONSTANTLY dream about my time there.
Doesn't help that the company was a terrible one called "DX"
Haha congratulations on having a luxury car man 😅
What happened to your "friend"? Did he retired?
Wow ! Mind I ask what job you did to become well off ?
Nice. I have a degree, and I still work in one. :(.

Search for other jobs man. Don't be unhappy at a warehouse that can replace u within a day. Fight for your future. Do or start to pursue something you enjoy
@@yaboijedi6653 It’s not that easy. My friend works at Amazon and he stays there because that job is very reliable. If you do decent enough, they will. Also has really great benefits. They are known for having them. But the hours are terrible. He works from 7 to 6. Four days a week and only makes $22 an hour.
Retail is better, move on to slightly less misery.

Amazon drivers have it pretty rough too man 😂 peeing in bottles and even pooping in bags because you get a route away from the city or up in the hills
« Work hard, have fun, make history » I remember seeing these stupid words at the Amazon restaurant when I was working there.
Thanks god I’m no longer living this slave job
Motto should be: Work hard, have fun, make Bezos rich.
This and "Arbeit Macht Frei" "Workers of the world, unite" same kind of slogans from systems of total oppression.

I worked the graveyard shift at an Amazon warehouse for 2 weeks a couple years ago. It was such a depressing place. Your every movement and metric is tracked by managers who are constantly doing rounds to "check in with people about their performance metrics". I tried to bring as much positive energy as I could every day.
I remember saying something to this girl working next to me about the song that was playing and she just kindof stared at me blankly and mumbled something unintelligible before returning to work. Later that week she came up and said something to me in an apologetic way- as if to make amends for how she brushed me off earlier. Maybe I got through to her on some level and woke her back up from her wage-slave trance for a day or two, or maybe I'm reading into it too much, but either way it more or less felt like I was throwing positive energy into a blackhole of despair.
One time they "did something nice for the employees" by offering us all some packages of cookies mid-shift. I heard one dude say "Man these are expired!". It was true, the only reason they gave us the cookies is because they were several months expired. So yea... it actually does get worse than a pizza party. My heart goes out to the workers who are trapped there for one reason or another. The so-called peons are the ones that keep society from collapsing at the end of the day. Stay strong my working class brothers and sisters✊
I was class of 2020 in university. Covid hit and I was laid off right after I graduated. Had no choice but to work warehouse and ended up working there for a year. It was the most depressing year of my life. No exaggeration, this video was spot on. Even though I don’t make as much as I want with my new job, my mental is healthy. That’s all that matters.
Bro almost exactly the same. I handed in my notice at an investment firm right before lockdown, had to work in a warehouse. I was close to tears a couple of times on the way there it was so soul crushing
Right. And working weekends gets sooooo old after several months.
I worked at Amazon warehouse so true parts are 1. Walking 10 minutes to canteen and 10 minutes from canteen
2. Every month exchange of staff aka hoard of new people and slowly not seeing your "friends"
3. Every month meeting new "friends" where they spontanously talk to you but more so during work than on a break
4. Manager coming up to you because you were 1 minute or 2 minute late, they call it offtask time and when you have couple of those then manager will find you
5. Changing workstations from good to shit but not really as a punishment
6. Scanning that god damn blue card everywhere,they call it badge
7. You start when its dark and you leave when its dark
Other parts like introduction to work, they actually babysit you for couple of days so you will get your work rolling. You can get a cooked meal on the spot for a penny but its during unpaid Lunch break. You can actually sit down for a minute, they have chairs in some places designated for sitting, you look weird if you just sit there but sure you can tie your shoe or drink water slowly for a minute
Aw mate im horrified that youre used to it😂
You still work there? I refuse to work for that company and even buy from them.
When i was 17, i worked as a waitress- 15 hours a day, 2-2. And there were no windows in that restaurant, so i can relate to your experience: it was dark when i was commuting to work, and it was dark on my way back.

@@UnknownUser-fe5zu No, I worked there for 6 months in 2021
The long walk to the break room and bathrooms are super accurate
Ive worked at a Honda factory and it's the same 😂 took 8 min. To get outside
For us the walk was 10 or 15 minutes depending on how busy it was and the worst part about it is that its set up so I have to walk by my bosses office so sometimes when im at the vending machine he comes out of nowhere and starts lecturing me about my poor time management and how I should come prepared next time and stuff. Definitely not good times.
"I want to get off Mr. Bezos' Wild Ride."
That’s fair
Should let the employees use electric scooters with a lil wagon or bucket to carry things. I mean genuinely that would make things go way faster. Save people their feet and time. Would increase their volume of packages they send out too.
As a former warehouse manager, this is 99% accurate.
The only thing you dont experience watching this video is the aroma of cannabis on the workers.
You gotta be on drugs to do those jobs otherwise suicide is the only other escape.
Which is dumb bc there are vapes now….. and yet they still smoke out their car before work.

The sheer accuracy of this. I'm glad others knows what's going on.
What's worse is the glaring inaccuracy of the conveyor speed. Those packages would be moving 5x as fast
Kid's nowadays are too weak. Everything hurts but they don't see how this can strengthen then mentally and physically. I use to think like a weakling too but then I got tough. You're lucky you weren't born in the 50's and looking for work, you would probably suicide if you think this is hard.

I worked in two warehouses, it’s a fucking hopeless job. But I’m incredibly proud I did them.
The odds of being born are approximately 1 in 400 trillion.
And I believe that no man - or woman of course - was born to work in such a desolate, miserable environment.
The biggest miracle in my life was getting fired from the second warehouse I worked at for ‘gross misconduct’, when in reality I just did what my supervisor told me to do - which is typical warehouse behaviour to be fair.
That allowed me to say: ‘I’ll never be in such a place ever again’
And I began to kick on in life
My parents didn’t bust their balls to have me doing stuff like that, getting ordered about by single-minded, unintelligent, out of touch idiots in an absolute shithole.

Do something
God bless you all, and good luck in your respective quests for fulfilment.

As an Amazon FC worker I was so happy watching this upload! LOL I will say Amazon is good for what it is. I have never had a job where I could just literally leave and not get fired or not call in sick. They call it UPT or Unpaid Time. As long as you don't go into the negatives you cant get fired. So if you don't feel like showing up or if you wanna leave early you just tell your manager and walk out.
Go back to work wagie. Do you know how much work you could’ve done for 1 min writing this comment?
We don't have that at my FC 😑
I worked at Amazon last Christmas until February and it wasn't bad at all. I'd actually worked at the same Amazon 4 years ago and it was like a hell hole, during that time it was different. There was no leaving the site and we couldn't even have our phones on site.
This time it was so much better, we had "Emergency Holiday" which is 5 hours a month where you can just leave and you still get paid. I was also lucky that the managers on my shift were all cool, they didn't play favourites. Unfortunately there wasn't enough volume of work so literally no one got their contracts extended beyond an extra month.
You realize they only have that policy because if they didn't 99% of ppl would get fired within a year because the job is so bad
@@Sasquatch10 Yeah they probably treated everyone better around that time because they needed ppl there during their busiest period (Christmas) If you worked there at any other time you'd be treated just like before
I worked in a warehouse for 5 years and met some great people, but it is a soul destroying job. i remember 1 year, it was xmas eve, and everybody worked together to get everything done as fast as possible so we could go home and enjoy the 1 day off we got for xmas, our superviser phoned management to get the all clear for us to go, management declined and made us all clean the warehouse until our shift was done 😂. Save up some money and invest in yourself, whether it be a course you buy or a certain type of license.
I worked at many warehouses. The worst one is Amazon and this video is accurate. I would rather work at any warehouse than Amazon.

@@Awareness_With_Dennis Amazon breaks are a joke and they’re strict on safety and productivity. They even make ridiculous safety rules which are not osha required to lower our productivity rate but at the same time they’re blabbering about not making enough rate which ends up a written warning and possibly termination.
@@Awareness_With_Dennis Amazon expects insane rates to discourage long-time employees because in their eyes once someone stays long enough they'll just get tired and want to settle for mediocrity(at least until they get a pay raise). New hires tend to try to give it their best more often. Working at Amazon is like Big Brother watching you and nobody around to tell you how to do your job if something comes up.
@@Awareness_With_Dennis the video tells true story, amazon policy is to scan to scan xd so you have to sacrifice break time to get to the station to scan the item to end the break. not sure if that is even legal. xd insane rates expectations it's slavery house literally some places are more chill than others. I read a story about a woman who dropped dead with a heart attack. It took them 5 hours to find a dead body that was in NYC.
Where do you work? Long term employees don't bust tail, correct. Quality takes priority at Amazon. That doesn't happen with new associates.

I worked at an Amazon Fulfillment center as an Operations Manager (L6). There was only 1 guy in the building that was above me. I was overseeing hundreds of people. I felt so bad at how they were treated like kids. There was a set 10 minute break every 2 hours. They had to scan badges for everything done. If 1 minute late, they were talked to. They were given prizes much like Chuck E Cheese if they built up enough points like an Amazon water bottle, wristlet, or Amazon shirt. Like trading in points accrued for prizes where I could just go and grab any of the items if I wanted to as a manager. There was a metal detector at the door to prevent stealing packages. They were just a cog in the machine making $15 an hour. Most were kids, but the ones 30 or older, I just felt so bad for.

Worked for UNFI in Ridgefield, WA.
Worked from 9:30 AM until the work was done. You would continue to click into boards until you were eventually told “Request For Assignment is Not Allowed” which could be anywhere from 6 PM rarely to 3 AM most days.
They never told new hires that they could ask to come in later per state law after a late shift, so most people were back at it only 5-6 hours later.
Worst job I’ve ever had. Complete and total fucking nightmare. I watched several people irreversibly maim themselves and they told us to keep working. One safety meeting and it was forgotten the next week.
We used to beg the new hires to quit before they made it onto the floor.
I got fired because a selector unplugged my riding jack while I was accelerating and I drifted into a wall. The HR manager told me not to even bother with unemployment because it was such a “clear cut case” that it wouldn’t be worth my time and effort. She was fired for unrelated reasons a week later and the state of WA ruled in my favor.
Fucking miserable industry. Never let somebody convince you the money is worth it. It isn’t.

I used to work for amazon for 6 years. I did about 4 years at a fulfillment center and 2 at the actual warehouse.
The Fulfillment Center wasn't too bad since it was part-time and not too long later got the 15 dollar pay increase.
I was a water spider there (basically, i wrapped pallets and printed out the labels)
At least for me, the manager didn't really care about my rate or anything since i was basically the guy who knew how to do everything when they needed me to.
It was honestly a pretty good job overall.
When i went to the warhouse, that's where i ran into what wojak was dealing with, except i worked inbound. ( I stowed clothes and supplies into drawers.) Basically, it was a rat race of your rate, not being off task..not taking too long to grab a new cart when your cart ran out of stuff. Having like 10 minutes breaks once it was your designated break time. Lots of walking (walked 10 miles on a slow day, 25 on a super busy day. )Working 10 hours days. 7am to 5:30pm. ( It was worse for me because at the time, i didn't drive, so i actually worked up around 4 am. to get there by 6am.) Got home by 8:30pm.

@@humb1s3rvantyou either get Sunday-Wednesday 40 hours/week also known as front half. Then back half is Wednesday-Saturday 40 hours/week. Mandatory extra time (MET) gets scheduled around Thanksgiving to Christmas usually six 55 hour weeks 11 hours days. Then you have prime day which is really like a prime week for Amazon employees, you get 50 hours for a week or two during those prime day sales. On top of this you can pick up shifts through the app if you want more hours, but you can’t work more than 60 hours/week it’s a policy at Amazon.
@@humb1s3rvantIt’s 4 days and 10 hours. You get a 5th day when it gets busy (overtime) I know this cause I use to work at an Amazon Fulfillment Center. The schedule is legit rough.
I worked at a warehouse for almost 7 years and it was the worst employment experience of my life. My friend and I (whom I met while working there) still talk about it more than 10 years later. I still don’t understand how I lasted as long at that job as I did. I certainly couldn’t do it today.
I wanted to order something from amazon, but this video changed my mind. I am not contributing to hurting those people. The likes of Bezos should be in the warehouse.

All that useless Amazon crap I see just depresses me. You don't NEED it. Support your local high street.

Jobs are bid by seniority so supervisors can't randomly reassign someone like that as acts of retaliation or playing favorites etc. We also have an early retirement defined benefit pension plan because yeah, for a lot of folks, this isn't temporary.
What company you work for my guy
@@2gunzup07 Kroger
Sorry, but that's socialism.
@@2gunzup07 I'll keep that private for now but any of the major grocery chains or food brands are good places to start. You can actually call up some of your local Teamster or Union offices and ask them; even if they don't personally handle any local warehouse contracts they'll point you in the right direction.
assigning work based on seniority is stupid, it should be based on what the person is best at
Love your videos man, they're so brutally honest, that it's refreshing in a strange way. Keep it up!
Thanks man!
I ones worked at a bakery factory. No Windows no contact with others just walking around and doing stuff like stacking bags of flower or cleaning . Rolling and stuff .no cell phones allowed or watch . No way to tell the time . Just wait until the bell goes and you will have a very awkward break with weird people. Time never went so slow.... It was very hot Inside it was litelary like hell. I quit that job after 5 days . Never felt so much despair i would literally choose to be homeless over 1 more day at that place it literally still gives me Nightmares now and then
I can feel you brother I tried to work at different warehouses because of money but couldn't continue more than 20 days in anyone of them. It's better to just die than work in these places
@@AbhijeetSingh-qc3iclol true
The ''i could have gotten a better position oldhead'', is spot on!
The rich man "Quote" was a fine detail.
What a horrific existence. Its almost like every single aspect of the job has been specifically chosen to impart the most misery on the workers, isn't it? Sunlight? Colour? Nature? Comfort? Basic human empathy? Nah none of those things matter, accept your concrete hell. FUCK, THAT.
Its designed to have fast turnover, more profitable that way. The only people that last are complete sociopaths, and the druggies
if there is hell after death, its a huge amazon warehouse and you collecting orders for eternity
@@Arejen03 My buddy once took DMT and had an experience like that, he was in an infinite factory of meaninglessness and everyone has smooth white faces, and he was putting boxes on the belt in pure misery
@@gitsurfer27 ye i think for people with mental issues etc that kind of job is absolute ultimate misery
@@Arejen03 I've tried a few factories, i lasted 1 day and walked out, i respect people that can handle that, but there needs to be a law on basic human needs being met, how its even legal is beyond me.
Worked night shift at Staples one summer during Uni. So the shift started when the store closed and ended when it opened in the morning. The thrill lasted for about two days, then slow…monotonous hell….. nice aspect, as it was a night job, we were locked in the store and no supervisors. Restocking the pen/pencil isle was tedious. We had to make sure we cleared a certain number of pallets per night. The other coworkers blasted music all night throughout the store, so that was ok. The worst job was collapsing boxes and dragging them to the box crusher. Never ending boxes, open box, restock….open another box. I was glad it ended after a few months; I could feel my brain going to mush.
Worked for the Bass Pro warehouse for 2 years. Got fired. Now I’m working at a warehouse for Coxhealth. Though it’s not a hard job, I don’t find it very filling in life. I’m only 21 though so it shouldn’t be that big but just being inside all day and just putting things in boxes is just dull as hell sometimes and it doesn’t help if you’re depressed. I enjoy my coworkers but the job itself is just so dull. Anyone who’s working a warehouse job, I do hope you find a position or job that fills you with joy and makes you proud.

Is it true that automated systems feed a software program metrics about you and basically the software terminates people or not, and human managers have very little say?
@@Wary_Of_ExtremesYes, no and no.
Is it accurate?
Man this life is brutal

"Before I start, I must see my end. Destination known, my mind's journey now begins. Upon my chariot, heart and soul's fate revealed. In time, all points converge, hope's strength resteeled. But to earn final peace at the universe's endless refrain, we must see all in nothingness... before we start again."

I worked at Amazon for a year and it fucked up my brain in a way irreparably. This video is accurate. As wojack said, "If you have other options, pursue them."
I'm thankful I can watch movies all night. It's only soul crushing for that last hour when morning shift comes in and we all have to hide our phones. Honestly, just having a show you can glance at every now and again makes such a difference.
This is 100% accurate. Worked at a warehouse as my first job. I quickly realized i had to leave when my supervisor called me and said i had to work harder my second day on learning the job. I left after 3 and a half months and picked up my studies again.
They treat you like a donkey bro, im quitting my warehouse job as soon as my security license gets approved
literally supervisor was clapping his hands while saying push guys push push and walking across the warehouse with a cup of coffe. They treat you like a slave.
@@thatpersiandude7386 Bro, no way i’m literally doing the same thing. As soon as my badge gets approved i’m gone 😂

your guys are funny sometimes.
Working retail you like is better than a share house all jobs have their downsides but where houses will grind you down and spit you out. Only benefit of share house is overtime hours and realistically is 400 dollars extra at the end of the week worth working literally 6 days and sleeping from exhaustion on the 7th?
This was actually the root of my severe depression. I was 21 years old and it was only my second job ever. Very hard work, had the worst schedule ever. Worked from 1AM to like 12PM. Driving to work early late while you’re the only car in the road was kinda liberating (being the only car lol) but also saddening. Like everyone else is probably sleeping at home and yet here I am going to work. The work environment was no better either. If felt like we were trapped in a prison and forced to work labor in order for us to be free (go home). I eventually got laid off because my position was temporary and I couldn’t have been happier lol. There was no way I’d be working there for the rest of my life. My first paycheck after two fucking weeks was 1k and some change. Fast forward 5 years later I learned about stocks and now I’m making that same amount in a day trading stocks sitting in my room. I could never go back to a 9-5 when I have this crazy opportunity presenting itself everyday.
facts bro. trading is where its at.
1am to 12pm? Fellow former DS worker spotted. Absolutely hated the damn delivery station.
Can you offer any tips in trading and how to get started. Working warehouse has been so miserable I would love to explore something new
I currently work at warehouse and want to start stock trading I’ve been watching pros to learn about it, thanks for sharing your experience and I’m definitely gonna look for a better opportunity
Tell us about stocks my guy! Help others get out of the warehouse! What do you do? Where do you start? What are good ones to buy into that almost never fail? WE NEED TO KNOW HELP YOUR FELLOW HUMANS OUT PLEASE
Yeah it sucks, but I'm an immigrant and poor without any education beyond middle school, what else am i supposed to do? Is this or living under a bridge.
