    probably going to try part time first and then see how it is before full time the full time will help with decent pay. I've done warehouse work before mainly stocking and restocking for retail stores like Marshalls, TJ Maxx, worked for a local electronics stores before so I had to lift like tvs, stereos, audio equipment.

    I havent watched your videos in a while (catching up) but I just completed my application for part time at Amazon and got my orientation. My cousin kind of persuaded me. It’s 2-4 hours of a workout and that’s what I plan to make it be. I’m vaccinated but COVID fear you mentioned is kind of concerning. Anyways, why Jacksonville? I happen to work near the Amazon warehouse already so wondering if that would have impacted your decision if it were closer. Nice to see you staying safe.

    Thanks for the insight of going through the experience from getting hired to quitting.
    When I saw the title of your initial video about going to work at an Amazon FC I thought: "Uh oh!" Have heard so many horror stories and the turnover is insane. Amazon is a bit of an evil coporation IMO - especially with the tornado tragedy in MO last and all the COVID breakouts being swept under the rug.

    I recall you saying you knew about all of this prior to accepting the position. This means you're complaining about yourself accepting the job. it would make much more sense to complain about certain tasks becoming reality within a position that were not previously known would be part of the job or possibly a side job of the actual position.

    How are you liking Jacksonville. Lived here most of my life. I worked at Walmart during night shift. Its hell for a lot of people to work graveyard shift. Got plenty of sleep during day but had zero energy. I lasted in that position for 2 months....and said FORGET IT! Not worth it. I have sinced expanded into some gigwork, online work and work Walmart during the day....what a relief.

  • @garybeltrand5802
    @garybeltrand5802 2 роки тому +1

    The main reason to not work for Amazon is that you are sacrificing your mental and physical health. Full time at an FC is designed to get a couple good years out of a person, then dump the carcass so a fresh one can be put in place. It's not brutally hard work, but it is repetitive stress motions for long shifts with frequent mandatory overtime. All while you're being tracked and having your bathroom breaks timed like a prisoner. Picking at an AR/robotics FC is up and down a ladder all shift reaching and stretching for items at high speed. Shoulders, back, knee injuries and hernias are common. Packing is where you get carpal tunnel. Stowing and Inventory Count is where you get depressed and obese. A few people fanagle their way into indirect roles which makes it a more normal workable job, but that's only like 5% of the people there. If your brown-nosing game is strong you can take that angle. I did part time at a sort center for a while and that was OK, the work is more suitable for part time. The shifts were at odd times though and they screwed up other better income options so it wasn't worth it.
