  • This Wojak meme video is about the life of a warehouse employee or the life of a fullfilment center employee. We follow a typical day in doomer's life as an amazon employee, where he gets to deal with new employees, old employees, managers and the wage cage. Will he survive the day? Of will he go crazy?

    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.

    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

    • @FeistyST
      @FeistyST 4 місяці тому

      @@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.

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.

    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.

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.

    • @HerecomestheCalavera

      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.

    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

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.

      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.

    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.

    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 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.
    I quit the job when i got I

    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 😂.

    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.

    I remember saying “this is temporary” and then I blinked and 9 years past. I was fired unfortunately because the supervisor couldn’t mind his own business to say the least.
    Tbh it’s like going through a divorce or something I guess because i was there for almost 10 years. It’s been Bitter sweet. My warehouse job was pretty cool I’m not gunna lie. But you get too comfortable and complacent. There was such lack of structure there. I had so much freedom. But when you spend 8 hours a day Monday through Friday at a place that has not a lot of structure and a bit too much freedom. There’s not literal promotions and no goals to really shoot for (no ladder to climb) it bleeds into your personal life. I started to have lack of structure and very unmotivated, comfortable and complacent in my daily life. You spend so much time at a place it starts to become you in a way
    and not to mention that the majority of your coworkers smoke weed and drink on the job. Just a lot of temptations as well. Which I fell into every now n then.
    Anyways glad that I can find something else now.

    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.

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.

    This sounds like working for a major supermarket chain in a warehouse in Australia. The managers would drag everyone in every 6 months or so and say that we were too slow and not meeting our targets. We would ask how the targets were set and measured and they would say it was done by an external consultancy. We would point out issues we had on various days and they would say that we were lying. We would show records of those days and they would say that the data was deleted after 2 weeks and they could not corroborate. Then I got the warning letter, and I had to achieve 100% on 90 consecutive days to pass. In the end I gave up and went on a go-slow. Burnt out soon after and ended up in the mental ward. Pricks W.
