People purposely get negative upt, to get fired. And also burnout makes people resign. 1.) sometimes they give out vto so much, the few people left have to do extra work 2.) safety was strict as a pe teacher drill sergeant 3.) sometimes you work 12 hours everyday, it was endless boringness 4.) One by one, all the cool people you know disappear. You ask yourself, why am i still here? Everyone is gone, new random faces meh
@@C11 I absolutely love the mountains like Colorado, Montana, Wyoming and South Dakota are breathtakingly beautiful and so so peaceful. Lol please keep us updated on if you decide to move to another state and what state you decided on I'd love to hear your experience. 😃
I have too. It was scary traveling alone at first . . . especially being a single female. I'm getting stronger though and I have met so many interesting people. I'm also writing a book and traveling gives me new things to write about.
Congrats on 2yrs at Amazon. I'm going through a horrible bout of depression too. It became worse when I lost my job at Amazon. My fur babies help me get out of bed in the morning. Lol ! These are hard times for everyone so don't feel alone. If I wasn't on antidepressants I probably would feel worse. Dealing with my mental illness makes life so much harder. Psychotherapy helps me a lot too. Your videos helped me learn a lot about working for Amazon. Thank you. I am on unemployment right now and so far can pay my bills with it. I have been looking for work too. A friend keeps telling me that I would be crazy to go back to Amazon (since I'm eligible for rehire) after what they put me through.( still don't understand why Amazon terminated me only to tell me I'm eligible for rehire in 30 to 90 days? ) I want to move also. Too expensive in the Northeast. Keep up the great work and do what you love.😊 Your so right about change and that there is no guarantees in Life or love. Everything in life is temporary too!!
Yes my dog and cat are a big reason of why I get up in the morning as well! Glad to have them and grateful they keep me going. I wish you the best financially and overall with your mental health, finding a job, and all of that. I'm quite optimistic that things will work itself out for the both of us! I've done some research on the northeast as well and it definitely seems beyond expensive lol! Thank you for watching the content and for being a supporter and friend over the last few months. I'm sorry Amazon screwed you over, and I wouldn't blame you at all if you didn't return tbh. But just keep doing your best in life and let me know how things work out - if you need someone, I am here!
Get off the brain drugs, they're detrimental to your health. Instead use fish oil: Omega 3 and make sure it's organic. DHA Omega 3 makes up much of the brain but it cause inflammation so make sure it's a mix of EPA and DHA. It must be a 2 to 1 ratio of EPA to DHA. Good luck.
@@randymuro9486 Thank you. I was told to go on mood stabilizers for my bipolar2. I tried 4 different meds and they all made me really sick. I will try the omega 3 recipe you recommended. Do you think psilocybin works? Last year 60 Minutes had a program on psilocybin ( poison mushrooms). They Interviewed people who had anxiety, depression, PTSD, bipolar, Etc and said that psilocybin can work better than meds. Patients have to be monitored by a therapist because people might trip out on them.
@The Annorator Thank you for this info. How long did it take you to get your job back? ERC said 30 to 90 days. HR (after taking my badge) said 90 days. I have acquaintances that tell me I would be crazy to go back. Oh and your right . . .the online application doesn't tell you which position you would be applying for. Amazon may put us in a position we may hate. I need to pay my bills Etc or my cats and I will be on the street. I have no family to help me. I applied to Amazon yesterday. The application read "try back in 90 days". Amazon also stopped my unemployment benefits. I only received two weeks. I can't believe how nasty this company is. I am looking for work but the wages aren't the same as Amazon to sustain my finances. I will have to work two jobs. Do you think they will start rehiring around Thanksgiving for the Christmas rush?
I've worked at Amazon for two months now. I love it. However, I just got moved to a flex schedule because the school year is starting and I am a teacher.
My insurance through teaching is both free and excellent. And don’t worry, I’m a machine for my age! I don’t know how people not in decent shape survive the job. I work out and jump rope about 4-5 days a week but I was still very sore after my first full week stowing and picking.
I also just want to share the flex is excellent. I really enjoy working a shift or two a week for both the exercise and the extra money. If I was doing this 40-60 hours a week I could see where the burn out could happen really fast! Keep up the hard work!
I had just started watching your videos because I was…I am looking for tips to do better at Amazon. Your advice have been super helpful, and I’m relieved to know that I don’t have to go super fast at work when stowing lol! What attracted me to Amazon is the long-term benefit of the training they provide, I am approaching 50 years old, and I had made pretty bad choices in my life. So this is a way to at least try to better myself a little quickly before retirement lol! Thank you for the great content you share. If you do decide to move to Chicago, be safe out here. I love Chicago, but I am so sad what they have done to this beautiful city, to my hometown the last few years. those things you have gone through mentally, I get it, I’ve been through that. I’m sure you have plenty of people to talk to that you know, but just wanna put this out there, if you ever need a ear to listen to you, you could always reach out. And please don’t take that in a weird way lol! God bless you in whatever path you choose to take, and remember that God loves you so much!
I’m 8 months in at amazon fc and I’m on my 2nd write up for productivity, Every time they offer vto I take it, I’m over it now I’m looking for a different warehouse job.
idk if u remember me but been working there since beginning of the year not too bad basically same experience as youve mentioned.. they originally started me in pack and that was fine easy to zone out and just pack .. then one day i come in and guess im water spider which i wasnt too mad about because most pack water spiders do bare minimum and id have that shit on lock .. fast forward couple months its like 90%waterspider/10% pack. manager came up to me and said good job im ranked 9-1052 people in the warehouse for productivity or some shit, and i got 202 items packed per hour and honestly i didnt realize i was doing that good i would just come in and zone out and just work and leave lol.. keep your head up budddy .. :)
You have been through a LOT these past 2 years, indeed (I have seen some of your other vids re: your personal life). Try to go easy on yourself and give yourself some grace. You seem like a sweet person! I remember watching a video from "some bubbly guy" about Amazon about a year ago, and when I "found" you again, I subscribed, lol. I am sorry for all the challenges you are going through! Sounds like you could be dealing with a bit of depression. Reach out to a mental health professional if you want to! Otherwise, try to engage in activities you find calming and soothing, and speak with a friend of family member you trust (or even folks online!) about your feelings so you don't self-isolate too much. Also, please know that there is waaay more to life than Amazon, and you would be surprised at how many professional jobs and careers are out there for you! If you are ready for doing some career/job exploration, I recommend reading books and articles on various options. There are the kinds that focus on expanding your knowledge and sharing info about different fields, and then there are kinds that focus on self-discovery and self-interests so you can find a good professional match. You can also meet with a Career Counselor (universities definitely employ them, but they also have clients who are not currently students). I went out-of-state to school for undergrad, and it changed my life. While I've been back in my home state/town for years now, I have no fears about leaving. Once you live on your own away from family/other direct support, it can really empower you in many many ways. If you decide to move but are still feeling low, however, I would still highly recommend counseling, even if you just find an online support group/therapy group. I'd also recommend finding local MeetUp groups, social groups/common interest groups, book clubs, or volunteer somewhere to meet people to help you stay connected and not isolated. I wish you nothing but the best, Nathan! You will find your way! Just give yourself space and time
Yeah at my FC in the Houston area there’s a 5th floor that’s supposed to open next year and will be completely automated with robot pickers. They say their rate would be in the mid 200s.
After hitting 2 years you gain a lot of personal and vacation time plus the ability to move up to area manager, any desire in trying to do that in a different state
I just started Amazon a month ago and discovered your videos. My husband runs the Amazon page here in Vegas for Las7 and he features a lot of your videos. I will be sad to see you leave Amazon 😔
I’m an L3 at Amazon and I can safely say that it’s one of the most diverse, employee/customer invested work environments in the world today. Our constant innovation in paths and operations as a whole are one of the many characteristics that allows us to maintain the title of category king in our targeted areas of business. If you know your role and instil compassion into your approach at work you’ll do just fine. I’ll likely dedicate the next half decade , or even decade of my life to Amazon. Work schedules can really have a positive impact on your social life , at least for me. I really enjoy my job and my goal is AM for reverse logistics.
Man, I’ve said it a million times by now, Amazon is for hard working people. I used to work for USAA, made decent money, and left to come work at Amazon due to a good friend showing me what he makes a week. Now I make what I used to make biweekly, in a week, and sometimes I do a lot more than that. I don’t mind hard work since I spent 16 years in the Army during the OIF and OEF campaigns, (anyone who served in the initial stages know what I mean) so just knowing my check is going to be 1,500 to sometimes 1,700 a week is more than enough for me to put up with the shit.
Yeah no way you’re in an FC then. None of the T1-3 FC people are pulling $1500/week gross let alone net without pulling 60s every single week and even that’s barely believable or achievable for a lot of people
@@garret5538 I’m not in a fc, I work as a delivery station warehouse associate. 20$ an hour after differential since I work overnight, and clear 60 hours every week. Go on indeed and look up the position in the state of Kentucky dummy. Just because you think it’s not possible doesn’t mean you’re right. 🤣
Alaska is for hard working people . The fishing boats and cannery’s. Amazons a walk in the park compare to the fishing boats and cannery’s in Alaska. Where mandatory 16 to 18 hours a day in wet cold environment. Breaking 50 pound frozen blocks of fish. Having to wear a hockey mask incase the frozen fish knocks you out when your breaking with the other person.
@@nomad_3373 Just so you know, everybody assumes l this differential is added on to your base pay, which is incorrect. It doesn’t get multiple with it, it’s only an add on on the amount of hours you worked that day. For example, say your differential is 2$, you get 2 dollars every Hour you work separately, check your Pay stub online and it will show you this.
I feel ya on the burn out I have been sleeping for the past 4 days wake up eat go back to sleep I cut all overtime an let my body just rest coming back tonight for 12 hours of fun an games lol
Hey brother always welcome in Nola can’t say i recommend it so much in July and august when we’re under water but it’s certainly exciting. Keep your goals a number one priority not enough time in our mere human lives to put our own goals on the back burner the time to do you is now. Much love from New Orleans. Stay well
im one month & half at amazon. it's chill tbh. they dont be on our asses for rates. we can go to the bathroom whenever we want. & work is easy. i like it. i just hate waking up at 7:30 am though
They'll be on your ass about rates after Week 6 though, and that depends on the FC you're at. For example, GoodYear expects you to hit 300 UPH if you're a picker.
I’ve been at Amazon a year and feel the same way. The job is really easy but it’s unfulfilling and I’ve been going through phases where I feel really depressed and drained. I just don’t know what to do at this point. I work on my feet 10 hours a day and it’s really exhausting.
Can definitely 100% relate to you! Those feelings may pass, but they'll eventually come back as well. Always trying to find a way out is probably the best thing to do
@@ColossalSwordFormAndTechnique I have knee problems. Amazon let me go for productivity which I guess was meant to be. I would have had to take 2 weeks off anyway so my knees would heal. Doctor said I have tendonitis.
@@lindaschultz7900 I have Tendonitis "of the elbow" in my right arm,and since it was a work injury they opened a case and was on leave of absence for about 4 months. I'm still at Amazon, and it still bothers me sometimes
@@Kat_X085 I'm so sorry. Hope your feeling better soon.Didnt know tendonitis could last 4 months . How long did you wait before you went to see a doctor ? Did you receive workmans or disability? . I think I have covid 19 today . . I had it in January 2022 also . There is a new variant going around that makes you feel awful but not as serious.I was just tested. I Will know in 24hrs. What else could go wrong? Lol. I guess things could always be worse. Do you think you will go back to Amazon? If I don't find a decent paying job within 90 days, I may just go back temporarily until I can save up the money I have lost. I did love my weekly checks from Amazon.
Hello! Could you tells us more about Explaining Each Position in Amazon? Please. I believe you had that going. But I don't know if you stopped or I just missed the rest. 😵
I love your content and how natural you are, my respects! You said you graduated from college. What did you study if I may know? Since I'm going through a stage in my life I don't know if I really like what I'm studying enough to continue.
Great videos, as always. Did you start out as a contractor or were you hired permanently initially? Lastly, do you have any opinions on or will be making any videos concerning Maintenance technicians? I tested out at Mech. II for a well known Amazon contractor, but am clueless about the actual job-John in Austin
I just declined my offer for an area manager role today. It was the hardest decision I had to make because it was double, the current full-time job I’m at now but the current full-time job I’m at now is my dream, and I finally earned it ironically at the same time Amazon offered, but yet here comes a point in your life are you Gotta do what makes you happy and money can’t be the number one reason why
I worked at Amazon for 1.5 months. What a B.S. company. I left after those scum bag managers kept harrassing me about their stupid quota. If the pods would stop stalling as well as other problems I would have met the quota.
I do enjoy the co-workers and my mangers ! The only thing is some days I am just exhausted and working 10 plus hour days is tough. I work had and keep moving cause it makes the time go by! It takes forever to earn vacation time .
I’ve been with Amazon, at a fulfillment center for 2months as a pick. Does anyone know the job descriptions to Outbound, pack-flow and Outbound, sort-flow? What are these jobs like?Thanks in Advance.
working at any warehouse is not a career. you will never move up at a higher positions with higher pay, this guy been there for 2 years. didn't go anywhere. those supervisor and Manager are in for them self. working with ups or fedex at least you have a fair chance moving up. i know people worked at ups and fedex warehouse and now they become driver.

Because the waves and oceans scared them so much. I worked 40 days straight with at least 16 hours a day. One break only for lunch . 30 minutes only at 4 in the morning. Then offload on Dutch Harbor for 3 days straight. That’s 1 trip.
@@davysanders4922 i just finished my fourth day and I’m currently on counting , I definitely need to get good insoles and the job feels unbearable but I know its only because I haven’t done a job like that in a while so my bodies not used to it , hopefully soon it will get better !
Your entering a new season in your life sometimes that causes sadness just because of uncertainty. And yes you need something new to happen to cause some excitement that’s all! I’m thinking about moving as well to Dallas actually (my relationship is holding me back as well) if you come to NY you’ll have a friend !!!

You look great, before the video even started I can tell your not the same man you were when I started watching you.

People purposely get negative upt, to get fired.

It's right for some, just not for everyone. Clearly, you used it to your advantage. Good for you!
8 months and I'm moving to flex. I hope that helps me not be so burned out.. 10 hours is just too much. Amazon is not for everyone and that's a fact.

It doesn’t get multiple with it, it’s only an add on on the amount of hours you worked that day. For example, say your differential is 2$, you get 2 dollars every Hour you work separately, check your Pay stub online and it will show you this.
I feel ya on the burn out I have been sleeping for the past 4 days wake up eat go back to sleep I cut all overtime an let my body just rest coming back tonight for 12 hours of fun an games lol
Hey brother always welcome in Nola can’t say i recommend it so much in July and august when we’re under water but it’s certainly exciting.
Keep your goals a number one priority not enough time in our mere human lives to put our own goals on the back burner the time to do you is now. Much love from New Orleans. Stay well
im one month & half at amazon. it's chill tbh. they dont be on our asses for rates. we can go to the bathroom whenever we want. & work is easy. i like it. i just hate waking up at 7:30 am though
I agree it is chill. I'm out the door by 3am,
Wait when 1 year hits. You’ll see
They'll be on your ass about rates after Week 6 though, and that depends on the FC you're at. For example, GoodYear expects you to hit 300 UPH if you're a picker.
@@LunaticLK47 we dont have robots. everything is manuel. our pick rate is 45. since we drive the op. and sometimes use carts if were in the mez
@@ColossalSwordFormAndTechnique i know ppl that been there for 3 years. still the same well in our fc
I’m about to quit! And I’ve been there two years! That place is terrible!!!! I hate it so much!!!! Save your sanity!
Finish out the year at amazon and move to the windy city.
Now we know, no interview, no reference checks, is a red flag.💯
I’ve been at Amazon a year and feel the same way. The job is really easy but it’s unfulfilling and I’ve been going through phases where I feel really depressed and drained. I just don’t know what to do at this point. I work on my feet 10 hours a day and it’s really exhausting.
Can definitely 100% relate to you! Those feelings may pass, but they'll eventually come back as well. Always trying to find a way out is probably the best thing to do
Careful. Me and my coworkers had feet problems for a while after we left amazon. Well, i resigned. But they were fired for negative upt
@@ColossalSwordFormAndTechnique I have knee problems. Amazon let me go for productivity which I guess was meant to be. I would have had to take 2 weeks off anyway so my knees would heal. Doctor said I have tendonitis.
@@lindaschultz7900 I have Tendonitis "of the elbow" in my right arm,and since it was a work injury they opened a case and was on leave of absence for about 4 months. I'm still at Amazon, and it still bothers me sometimes
@@Kat_X085 I'm so sorry. Hope your feeling better soon.Didnt know tendonitis could last 4 months . How long did you wait before you went to see a doctor ? Did you receive workmans or disability? . I think I have covid 19 today . . I had it in January 2022 also . There is a new variant going around that makes you feel awful but not as serious.I was just tested. I Will know in 24hrs. What else could go wrong? Lol. I guess things could always be worse. Do you think you will go back to Amazon? If I don't find a decent paying job within 90 days, I may just go back temporarily until I can save up the money I have lost. I did love my weekly checks from Amazon.
Hello! Could you tells us more about Explaining Each Position in Amazon? Please. I believe you had that going. But I don't know if you stopped or I just missed the rest. 😵
I love your content and how natural you are, my respects!
You said you graduated from college. What did you study if I may know? Since I'm going through a stage in my life I don't know if I really like what I'm studying enough to continue.
I got you beat man, I've been at Amazon for 6 damn years haha. Granted I moved into HR so I'm not as burnt out of the job.
Great videos, as always. Did you start out as a contractor or were you hired permanently initially? Lastly, do you have any opinions on or will be making any videos concerning Maintenance technicians? I tested out at Mech. II for a well known Amazon contractor, but am clueless about the actual job-John in Austin
So if you are using the wisely card, can you use your regular direct deposit or chime card also?
I just declined my offer for an area manager role today. It was the hardest decision I had to make because it was double, the current full-time job I’m at now but the current full-time job I’m at now is my dream, and I finally earned it ironically at the same time Amazon offered, but yet here comes a point in your life are you Gotta do what makes you happy and money can’t be the number one reason why
I worked at Amazon for 1.5 months. What a B.S. company. I left after those scum bag managers kept harrassing me about their stupid quota. If the pods would stop stalling as well as other problems I would have met the quota.
Got terminated BECAUSE of issues like yours. AM was an asshole and kept blaming me for being slow.
I have 2 years at Amazon as well. 📦
Hi! I want to ask you what is delayed allocation transfer out? I’m planning to get new position. Please lmk
Two years for me as well
If you were in Pick at first, how did you get into Stow permanently?
Funny this popped up on my feed..I literally did 2 days and left lol...10 hours on your feet in one spot is not for me
Congratulations on your 2y work at Amazon and I work for Amazon 3m
can u listen to your own music at work? with earbuds?
No
I do enjoy the co-workers and my mangers ! The only thing is some days I am just exhausted and working 10 plus hour days is tough. I work had and keep moving cause it makes the time go by! It takes forever to earn vacation time .
I’ve been with Amazon, at a fulfillment center for 2months as a pick. Does anyone know the job descriptions to Outbound, pack-flow and Outbound, sort-flow? What are these jobs like?Thanks in Advance.
I fully support the change
Pick is 🔥 bro
I hate pick bro 330 In 1 hour
I walk 10-15 miles a day in steel toes there. They slave you and give you crumbs for bemefits
working at any warehouse is not a career. you will never move up at a higher positions with higher pay, this guy been there for 2 years. didn't go anywhere. those supervisor and Manager are in for them self. working with ups or fedex at least you have a fair chance moving up. i know people worked at ups and fedex warehouse and now they become driver.
Alaska is for hard working people . The fishing boats and cannery’s. Amazons a walk in the park compare to the fishing boats and cannery’s in Alaska. Where mandatory 16 to 18 hours a day in wet cold environment. Breaking 50 pound frozen blocks of fish. Having to wear a hockey mask incase the frozen fish knocks you out when your breaking with the other person. I seen ganstas from Chicago cry on the long lining boat in the middle of the Bering Sea. Because the waves and oceans scared them so much. I worked 40 days straight with at least 16 hours a day. One break only for lunch . 30 minutes only at 4 in the morning. Then offload on Dutch Harbor for 3 days straight. That’s 1 trip.
Hey move to Melbourne Australia
We have you
I’ve got my first shift at Amazon warehouse today I’m so nervous I’ve never worked at a job like this someone give me tips pls lol
@@davysanders4922 i just finished my fourth day and I’m currently on counting , I definitely need to get good insoles and the job feels unbearable but I know its only because I haven’t done a job like that in a while so my bodies not used to it , hopefully soon it will get better !
@@davysanders4922 thanks I appreciate it 🙌🏼👍🏼
😔😭❤️Luv u son.
Love you too!
Frito lay pays good fyi
Come to BFI4!!
Before you move talk to your onsite HR about a hardship transfer it's possible you could even get help moving
I appreciate your videos but stop lying youre not an introvert 😂
Slow down you talk too fast on TH-cam slow down ..
Your entering a new season in your life sometimes that causes sadness just because of uncertainty. And yes you need something new to happen to cause some excitement that’s all! I’m thinking about moving as well to Dallas actually (my relationship is holding me back as well) if you come to NY you’ll have a friend !!!
Redirect the focus of your channel to YOU! And we love you toooo C ! Don’t cry because then I’ll cry
C omg I haven’t watched you in a while. I watched you ALOT when I was going through my hiring process. You look great, before the video even started I can tell your not the same man you were when I started watching you. I’m only 6 months in and drained but wanting to take full advantage of my time there
I’m looking into a hardship transfer to a different state ask Amazon about it . HR was telling me about it the other day
