You know the horrors about to begin when you start your first night shift and yamimash introduces himself
Sorry to hear that your previous jobs were terrible experiences! Hope your current one is a better fit for you! It's hard to find a decent job nowadays that is suitable for you and doesn't damage your mental health
Mad issue in the UK, and ive got nothing but respect for you Yami because you know your worth. Legend
Huge fan, sorry to hear everything's been so tough! Glad you're still around, Yami.
Good to see you Yamimash
I hope you get to relax after your shift, the job market in the US also sucks so badly if it makes you feel better 😅
does it though? like do people struggle to get basic retail jobs there? trying to find one in the UK is a goldmine unless you live in a big city maybe it’s different
@@jnightmare0 Well, it’s more like no one wants to work for minimum wage because you can’t live off it. But all the shitty bosses don’t want to pay more so everyone says there is a “worker shortage” which just isn’t true there is a “livable job shortage” I guess. So yeah basically all the entry level positions right now suck.
@@jnightmare0 I live in Canada Ontario, the City I live in is like that. Highest Unemployment Rate. Homelessness rising quickly. I just got evicted and gotta be out in 2 days. ( I've paid on time, everytime but she wants to raise rent but she says she's moving her dad in ) Been unemployed for 3 years. ( Still have a little income though ) Housing increased AAAAAAAAAAALOT and it's past my income for a 1bdr/studio.
Keep up the faith, Yami. We're all in this together, for better or for worse.
Going to be moving to Argentina due to the ridiculous housing market issues in the UK.
Beautiful country, £40pm rent, cheap food, cost of living.. great for any digital nomad.
I have friends that live off of 3 digits comfortably there. :)
love your games zeoworks!
You are totally right, great strategy!
hello ZeoWorks 👁
WELL IF ISN'T THE CREATOR OF SLENDYTUBBIES
As an ex-amazon warehouse worker, I relate so much to this.
I was furloughed by my main job during covid and had to work as a Stower/Picker at Amazon. During initial training, it wasn't the worst. But then a lot of the similar issues you brought up had emerged within the first few weeks. The ridiculous demands to meet target and being dragged down for failing to meet them, the consequences for heading to the toilet, being stuck in a windowless, artifical warehouse and so much more. I even had my own "milk" incident where a load of vinegar in damaged containers spilt all over me. There were moments where I had major breakdowns and I wanted to leave the place after 2 weeks as I knew it wasn't for me - but stuck it out for 6 months until I knew I had nothing left in me to keep going. It wasn't the most pleasent experience and one I wouldn't want anyone else to experience.
Unfortunately, I had to go back there after a while due to furlough ending and my initial job wasn't in a place to come back. I was made Quality Assurance at the warehouse that time around and I actually enjoyed it more. It was boring but the targets were more reasonable, and I felt like the management team was a lot more friendly and professional to work with. I even thought I culd continue it for at least a year or 2. But after the christmas busy period, the work just stopped and I was soon let go as they had a mass lay off with most ground-level staff.
Thankfully, at that point, my old job that I had passion for came back and I felt I could finally move on from my time as a Warehouse worker.
Watching this vlog brought back some memories (not in a bad way!) but was a good reminder for me of why I'm glad I got out of it when I did. Sure, I still have a lot of issues with my main job especially with the current UK living crisis and having taking new steps in my life recently, but I can't deny that I'm lucky to be there and not still stuck in warehouse jobs.
Regardless, I hope everything improve for you Yami and for all those who are working minimum wages and at dingy warehouse jobs. The way big companies and agencies screw with employees is far too inhumane and deserves to be put to task about it.
I work at Amazon buddy currently 14 50 ph, we can take mobile phones with us, I pick and nobody ever mentions target, been here for 8 years while studying for me no pressure job at all. Different for everyone.
Well spoken on this, you made this video informative on your experiences and also made it entertaining. Honestly if you ever want to make more videos like this just talking about things that are going on with you, with the world, in a way that you want to vent or just voice how you feel about it, I think you can do that kind of thing quite well.
Hello Yamimash! Keep doing videos to youtube bro!
Job searching seems almost impossible at this point (for me at least :l). I've been applying for jobs constantly for the past 4 months now, and have not heard anything other than "Sorry, we found someone with more experience" or "You did not have the experience we required". Like, how am I meant to get the experience if I don't even get a chance to work. I've gotten those responses from jobs that said "No Experience Required". I've had two emails from positions I applied for in 4 months, and both said I was unsuccessful but should try applying again for their other positions...yeah great, you said that the last 3+ times too 😒. I'm in a position where I don't even know how well I'll handle being in a workplace anymore, since I'm spending no time getting any experience with those environments. I've had £1 in my bank for the past 3 months, and now that's gone too.
Is anyone else struggling like this, or am I just extremely unlucky? 😅
You're not alone. Same here. Going on 6 months for me. Constantly getting ghosted by places, told ill have an interview and never given a date, or my favorite which is going to interviews and despite calling 24 hours after the interview, zero word. Its been hell.
Same. It's been 6 months for me in rural NY. The only jobs available are minimum wage, factory jobs that offer no benefits. Basically, if you want a job that doesn't make you want to self delete, you're doomed.
I've never understood it either.
"You need X to get Y but you need Y already to get X."
Yeah OK how do I get into this circle????
When I had to move out, my father and mother thought I was being incredibly lazy and not wanting to search for a job but I was pumping out applications and getting no calls or getting one in a blue moon that told me that they went with someone else. I'd even call up to ask if they've seen the application just to show that I'm really interested. But never worked once. Eventually I got reccomended a job that was looking for people and was lucky enough that the job just wanted people with arms and legs to do the damn thing.
Its like they want you to start lying on your resume
Preach Yami!!! Thank you for speaking out about this. More people on the bottom are starting to wake up and more people on the top are gonna start discovering the consequences...
I live in a small town in England, and it's in a bad state, England in general. Tons of buildings that used to be shops, shut down and thought it was a good idea to move online. One: With more and more houses being built around here, and likely all over England, with so few shops being built to keep the balance, means even less places to get jobs at. Two: It's such a state that loads of Banks keep wanting to shut down and expect everyone to ask for help online. But, if you want to deposit money, or withdraw money, or even speak to a person in real life about a problem, it's getting to the point you can't. I get a lot of people think a cashless World is a good way to go, it is NOT. Bye-Bye childhood arcades by the seaside, giving kids pocket money to buy treats at a local shop, you can't trust someone to not ask a kid for their card if we do end up cashless, a little off-topic, sorry, but, just pointing that out there, there are other bad reasons, but I won't get into that. I'm on benefits for my health, but it's not much to live on. I tried many times in the past for a proper job, but it's either something I just can't do due to the stressful environment, on it's just too far away. Bus services used to be once every 30 minutes around here. It's now once an hour, and even if one of those buses is cancelled, you're looking at a 2-hour wait. I've had that too many times, just for trying to get out the house and travel. So, looking for a job that requires a bus, isn't happening. I only do Volunteer in relaxing places now, but in the past, I have had some terrible people during other volunteering places. I've seen how much people earn in a lot of places, and that's not much to live on with working. But, keep strong Yami.
Yeah, had a rough time myself for a few years. I got out of the Navy as a Submarine mechanic and could work on pretty much anything. I got to making tractor trailers and was pretty good but was dangerous hard work. I went over to be a Steel Worker and was pretty good at it. I had a coworker that came out of prison and still carried that mentality. He ran the machine well outside of its capacity and nearly got me killed almost everyday. I tried Reasoning but he’s literally trying to fight me at work. I quit and had a bit of a hard time till I land this current job. It’s pretty good, just catching up on finances getting as much overtime as I can.
I remember a time in retail when you couldn't escape your workplace with all the extra hours they wanted you to do (and in some cases MADE you do), now ever since 2020 companies are just SO fucking stingy they hire no new staff even when the shop desperately needs it, they double your workload, and they make you clock out the nanosecond you finish your shift. Not to mention the complete lack of stopping and prosecuting shoplifters, not hiring any sort of security to combat them, but they still whinge about losses without spending any money to stop them. But after hearing your experiences, damn... All the best my man.
Here in Mexico the minimum wage is also a joke. No soul can live without having a full time job in the week and minimum a part job in the weekend. Unions should really be on the rise!
I work in lidl warehouse, can’t recommend it enough tbh, secure contract, night shift hours almost 3 quid extra, canteen with cooked food provided for a quid, even a nice shop with goods that got rejected from stores. Sometimes we get free food fruit and items that dont sell. One example were like six pack of 1 ltr fantas recently, another example were boxes of grapes and sushi. Go with one of the supermarket companies. Secured job. Work benefits too!
I have similar situation at Amazon, we get 14.5£ nights, private med insurance, double overtime pay, allowed to take mobile phones with us, very relaxing personally for me over 8yrs already, i managed to finish masters degree but still here as theres not many jobs and conditions are good despite what others saying. However days rate is not great yeah.
@@arthura7851i cant seem to get an amazon job just get no response i applied 3 different times any advice?
There are good and bad jobs everywhere in this country I work at the Devonport Dockyard in Plymouth for Babcock unskilled job I install ventilation on the Navy ships 35 hours per week days and back shifts no night shift’s I get £17 per hour.
Super Awesome and Interesting new video Yamimash Hoping your feeling alright mate
I spent my twenties working in warehouses and doing agency work, just came across tote video great insights from you. You have well ober a million subs how comes you’re doing agency work???
You got this man been watching you since I was 9 🔥🔥🔥
We love you dude, take care of yourself
Great for you and hope everything goes well for you but hopefully they treat you well
I did a picking job at a warehouse in the UK, it was pretty good and I had no commitments to it as I was just earning money before going to work abroad. There was a guy who spoke to me about my pick rate and we could see them tracked in the cafeteria, anyway, I worked my ass off one day to see how well I could do, and it was high up there, no one said anything about it and I figured that I get paid the same either way regardless of pick rate and never worked that hard after that. Plus there were a ton of people with lower pick rates and anyone with a high one weren't following procedure correctly and on top of that, you kinda had no choice but to wait sometimes for a multitude of reasons completely out your control.
We love you Yami, hope you find a job that can keep you afloat and well mentally, we're all here for you, man
I used to do 12h nights for Sistema Plastics, assembling Tupperware back in the early 2010's and it was not a pleasant experience, but the money was good and paid the bills, so that was the only good side.
another day where we move further towards the dystopian future
We are already there really.
take a look around dawg we’re already here
Those UK warehouse jobs sound like a hassle. Hope you find a good job that you enjoy soon! Keep up your hard work Yami something will come soon.
Right now I am a package Handler for fedex and comparing all my past jobs this is the best job I’ve had.
So crazy to think I watched your content as a teen with no work experience, now as an adult, I can see that our struggle (The working class) is truly universal. I have only had one job that was barely acceptable, and that was only because the wages were adequate to provide me a minimum level of comfort. The amount of crazy bullshit we deal with in labor jobs is insane! Remember that any work place can form a union, you do not need the permission of your supervisor or business owner, not even laws can stop the working class from organizing. I have been intimidated time and again for advocating for my workplaces. Every worker deserves to labor in a place that at the barest minimum provides living wages (Not living paycheck to paycheck) and a safe workplace! Stay strong Comrade!
Man Ive been 18 for about half a year and I still haven't had a "real" job yet. 3 places have just completely ghosted me and everyone is just telling me to "just try harder."
If it makes you feel better 18 year olds are having just as hard of a time finding a job let alone keeping it, but I'm in the US so it might be different.
I'm glad to see that you are still making TH-cam content on top of working, I couldn't do that that's for sure.
I feel you, Yami. Jobs in the US aren't that great either. I've been doing security for two years despite having a degree and an IT certification. It pays the bills. The problem is that human greed leads to a lot of jobs getting automated and then disappear forever from the job market for short-term profits.
That's sad. That's one reason why I've had so many jobs in the US. Jobs these days dont treat their workers well enough and expect wayyyyy too much. I hate it so much. Business owners and managers all suck
Worked at Amazon in Peterborough; constantly on your ass about everything you do and you get told "no talking" to passerbys like you're in high school. Worst thing was the breaks. You had 2 30 minute breaks but no matter where you are when picking; it takes 10 minutes to walk to the front to your locker to get your bag and lunch and 10 minutes to get back. Both which they expect you to take out of your break time to walk that instead of walking 10 minutes early or even 5 to walk to put up your scanner. So that left me 10 minutes to eat and then go back to work; a total of 20 minutes of break for a 10 hour or so shift on minumum wage. Every permanant employee got to chat about, chill out, and just vibe whilst Agency gets treated like absolute garbage. Spoken to like you're a child. They also said they provided transport and didn't mention in the ad that it was time limited. So after 2 months they sent a text saying, "All provided transport will be canceled come January 7th. If you can not provide yourself with transport to work, we appreciate the help you've provided." So, "sorry no more transport and we didn't mention shit about it going away until now, anyways see ya later if you can't make it in anymore." Everyone left after getting that message from them. I stayed up until the end and it went from a literal thousand or more people in the warehouse, to maybe 10 or less people picking items. They didn't give a fuck about the loss of the workers which was so bizzare to me. But whatever, I'm in a wood factory now and the company is great, I get minimum wage +15% for working rotation shifts for 8h a day which is infinitely better than a 10-12h shift. Job has its challenges and they try and treat everyone the same, agency or not.
dude you are my childhood. im feeling sad seeing you like this
damn man a channel with 1.2 million subs and having to work Wherehouse jobs i feel for you. it's no better in the us tbh. iv worked the same Wherehouse jobs my whole life and most places are ran the exact same way.
I've had a lot of bad experiences to yammi I feel u I'm still currently not having to good of a time. I hope things get better man❤
Yeah, temp agencies are kinda sketchy because you just don't know when they'll let you go.
As someone who used to work in agency I can confirm how down trodden they are. I worked in a chocolate factory and a lot of my shifts depended on how early I turned up. If I turned up on time, there was a chance that I would get sent home with only 4 hours pay. So in order to actually have a shift, I had to turn up 1 hour early and sign in. This happened to me at least once a week due to how far I had to travel to get to work (which was 2 buses plus a 15 minute walk to the factory, plus another half hour wait between each bus). I did 3 12 hour night shifts a week and I had very little sleep in between so eventually I left as it was effecting my mental health. Don’t get me wrong I would love to work there again but only if I moved closer to the factory and if I was employed by the company and not agency.
The place I work at now is no different, but this time I live closer and I work for the company, however it’s not much better.
Love to see u again Tami I wish the best for ya
Brother you’re an inspiration to me i use to watch all your horror games when I was a kid regardless of what you think about your content keep posting and sharing your individualism! Keep your spirits up my man
On that note the working class get f* you have to build your own retirement plan most people don’t fully understand that they think they’re job is in their best interest when really you’re just a cog in a machine replaceable at any moment regardless of your work input
Sadly in warehouse job you are just seen as a number and not as a person , they are sooo negative and never positive you get more out of people if you are positive. However private union is the way forward.
Having Yami as a coworker is probably so fun
if there are any equivalents to trade certifications in the UK i would get armed with those
Working in retail is just terrible. I’ve heard so many horror stories, and how it can affect you not only physically, but mentally as well and it definitely shouldn’t be considered a job that you should stay on for a lifetime.
A guy that I know told me that working in retail is so bad that at least in the US they don’t let you sit and the reason why they don’t let you sit the logic behind it is because it’s an equivalent to laziness which is not true that’s like saying that to work in the office you have to be standing up on the computer And trust me you are going to kill your back when you work on the register standing up.
Seriously work in the UK, the pay, the taxes…it’s just so bad 😅
liked good vid yami keep slogging
I’m glad that your current job is better than your previous ones. The job market over here is indeed trash. All the best, lad. Always here for ya.
-Slendy
This is awesome
man has ascended!
Love to see him
Loving the vlog style videos again, more of this sort of thing. Nice to see you again too
Man I used to watch u and mark play and I don’t even remember how long that was
❤❤❤❤
Good video
That happened to my son Yami , started a job and then got sent to a garbage dump.
Apparently Tyre warehouses are just better working conditions than the average warehouse?
It’s absolutely tough everywhere. Trades here in the US are paying well, how are they in the UK?
I've done warehouse work for 14 years, driving the truck handalling in the back of contaners it gets easier in time beleve me 🤣
That's crazy. I didn't these picking jobs have a 'picking rate'. Businesses really finding ways to suck the absolute soul out of people. 🙄 It's absolutely crappy at work. There's always a shortage of people.
That's not even fucking fair, I can't wear an earpiece..
Yamimash, please play Slendytubbies The Devil Among Us, and try to communicate with Markiplier again after all these years. I would be glad to see both of you collaborate again please.🙏🏻
he may try to date a 14 year old girl, so yeah i highly doubt it.
Keep it up Yamimash. Rooting for you from the US. Been watching you since 2013 back in high school. Sorry you had very bad experiences especially with the milk spilling on you. Expired milk is super bad. Worse that its been sitting there for weeks.
this is why i hate recruitment agencies.
Bout to work for amazong so let’s go, I’ve worked on a meat factory ducked balls
hmm. Do you have a license about getting stabbed?
You should consider moving to another country. uk job market and economy is utterly shit
😊❤🖤💙💕💞✨🎉
Wow and I thought things were bad in Hungary...
Yummy I just want to say you are huge part of my childhood and I'll always stick with you thank you for making my childhood
I didn’t know you worked in a warehouse, that’s cool. Sorry you’ve had these bad experiences with safety and false job employment, that sucks
Or you in the uk
My work is kinda wack. I earn $2 per hour and as a content moderator.
Yh worked quite a few warehouse jobs, most are crap/backbreaking.
Yami take advantage of your bloody youtube channel, play vr horror, branch out, try new things, youre wasting this opportunity, and you will regret it.
I can relate to this. As an immigrant living on my own, I need to make a living no matter what. I had terrible experiences on these warehouses where the Polish holds sway, and they were a NIGHTMARE!. If I don't speak Polish, I'm OUT! Come on man this is the UK, not POLAND. Seriously, these people are cold, joyless, and soulless. They've made the entire place feel like hell. Even the British were scared of them smh... Anyways, just a message for everyone out there going through this struggle - keep it up, you'll make it. Bless.
Cool
This channel really is kind of dead. But when you are at the bottom, you can always slowly climb up. Stay blessed, and things can improve if you work for it.
How is He Not Quit from TH-cam🤨
THE STATES IS BETTER!!!!!🦅🦅🦅🦅🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Thats a fucking lie
Muh freedumb hurr durr
Yeah, a person from the states here (unfortunately), you either haven't worked or are in a position given to you on a platter. We have horrendous benefits, a terrible minimum wage, and a ridiculous cost of living. Please pipe down when the adults talk.
@@Re-Crix the united states job market is ridiculous what do you pipe down?
People in the replies don’t know what a joke is
I think I have another friend who lives in the UK who works in a factory
I’m still trying to get a job and it’s been frustrating, but I won’t stop trying
Sorry to hear about the recession in the United Kingdom, I’m hoping everything goes smoothly for you Yami!🫶🫶🫶
❤❤❤❤
Good video
