Thanks so much for watching!
I really hate working i feel like i'm stuck in that 9 to 5 and i'm not doing anything creative with my life or something i love. I tried pursuing a career as a programmer because i'm so tired of physically demanding jobs but that dream was too good to be true. I wish everyone will have something to Win in life.
I totally understand it feels like We are just being herded into wage slavery while so many people are living the dream lives we have always wanted just being themselves having fun it doesn't make any sense why anyone would want to live like this. It doesn't have to be this way, We should all have something outside of it all that we are passionate about creatively to pursue that will give us the reason to keep living and the possibility of making our dream life a reality. Don't give up brother!!
You will win
you only have one trick: just lie about your experience and go into IT just a tester. "just jump in and cope with its problems later"
I’m about to do mandated 60 hour work weeks (2-4 weeks in a row). People such as yourself are why I speak out against my company so far. NO ONE should have to go through this. It’s inhumane.
I don’t think I’m stronger than you. I think I’m just used to being abused. I hope you find your niche man. Fuck this. Rooting for you!!!
Then quit.
Thanks so much for Your unconditional support, and You are ABSOLUTELY right nobody deserves to be FORCED to work overtime EVER!!! I hope You can find a better job that doesn't require such ridiculous and outdated expectations of people. Just don't get hurt like I did and You'll be okay 😭
@@faustinreeder1075 sure thing. I’ll expect you to pay for my rent and bills henceforth, until I find another job that pays okay and doesn’t abuse me. Might take about 6 months to a year. So get your fucking checks ready.
@@InfinitusYT we actually signed and agreed to 1 day, but they’re breaking their contract. The result? Nothing.
As soon as You sign anything they act like they own You and have to do whatever they tell You it's just so dehumanizing.@@andrewwabik5125
I can somewhat relate. I messed up my back right out of high school working at Sears in the shipping department. I was 5ft 11 inches and only 115lbs -- and they had me working alone and doing all kinds of crazy stuff by myself. Upper, lower, and mid back are all screwed up to this day - 20 years later. Doctors never did anything about it, other than say that I had a herniated disc and shrug their shoulders.
Sorry You went through that and continue to deal with those problems so long afterwards it can be sooo debilitating! Same experience with Me we were solo within our "bays" and we were contracted to meet a certain amount of lines per hour so we really couldn't help each other or were punished for helping others because it would affect your numbers but it really comes down to the fact I wasn't physically fit enough to be doing such heavy lifting yet and I suffered immensely and unexpectedly because of it. The only people You could ask for help was Your supervisors we weren't allowed to talk and have fun with our coworkers no music no nothing it was totally soul crushing. Paying us tens of dollars to put our bodies completely on the line it's just not worth it at the end of the day.
A hurneated disk doesn't heel. I have one in my neck. It's only gotten worse. Have you tried pain management?
@@Lakirk2023 Exercising my upper body has made all the difference. I still have neck problems sometimes, but nothing like before. Before working out I would get debilitating next spasms twice a month. Just as one was clearing up, I'd get another. It was absolutely horrible. Now I'd say I have problems 2-3 times a year. Lower and mid back is the worst now.
@ShowMeWhatINeedToKnow That's great you found something that is working without pharmaceuticals. I feel a lot better walking everyday. I can't really lift weights but if I could it would definitely help.
I tore a muscle in my shoulder working at Amazon smh. Warehouses suck
It just ain't worth it man 😭
they should really be giving workers commercially available exo-suits already. There's one on the market for 2,200 and it reduces shoulder muscle wear. something like 3x reduction up top. It attaches firmly to the waist, back, and arms; spreading the load across the body
Brandon,
Keep working through it, you're doing great!
Have peace in your heart.
Take Care
Blessings to your family.
God Bless
Thanks a lot Brian it means a lot!! 😊
hi...Eileen here..just seeing how you mustarded (spelling) through today with the high winds...there was a twister touchdown at Smithville lake...take care...Blessings.
The tornado sirens went off this morning but nothing came close I believe! Thanks for Your concern!
Good morning! Have a good day! ❤
Good morning! I hope You had a good day as well thank You!!
Videos like this make me feel grateful to work a cushy consultants job now but I really remember vividly these days and they were the hardest days of my life. You all are the toughest workers ever and through this trial you will conquer anything that comes your way in life I promise you that. Keep strong brother
Physical pain is as bad or even worse than mental pain sometimes.😢😮
Yes I completely agree, once I started having physical problems My mental health just spiraled out of control.
I have physical pain. My mental pain is 100x worse.
Yes truly.
It causes both
I got foot problems working at Amazon for almost 10 years, and I still work there. I have a slight limp when I walk. Most other jobs don’t pay as much as Amazon in my area so there’s not much choice.
Same i worked there for 3 years now .... and the money decent so I can't quit i can pull 1000 a week if I do 6 days a week
The culture of the warehouse is the most important thing, a people first and safety culture will only breed positivity and teamwork, I say this from experience
You are way too articulate and intelligent and deserve better opportunities than where you describe your place of work. Wish you future success and endeavors. Stay safe and healthy
Yor history with so much pain has struck a nerve in me
Just happy My story resonates with people, We aren't alone!!!
@@InfinitusYT Misery loves company♥️
Thank you for sharing .
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for telling your story, was interesting. One advice I have for you as a 47 year old man is , do not work for others , try and make your own business , you seem like a smart guy , all these companies will chew you up and spit you out like your nothing .
You are absolutely right I despise working for other people just to line their pockets when they couldn't give a shit about the person doing the work for them and pay You as little as they can possibly get away with. It's just gross 🤮🤢
@@InfinitusYT very true , way of world though :) you don't have to follow this system , find a way to make your own thing then you can treat your employees better
@@snozrick 100%
I nearly lost my eye doing the same thing. They treated me like trash. Humbling but I still have scarring in my vision although it is not too bad. I promised myself I would never do it again. I hope you find something you love to do and the best comes from it.
Cheers
I'm sorry that You had that happen an eye injury is no joke! Thanks a lot for the best wishes I hope that You have or can also do the same, always pursue Your dreams! Don't let anything or anyone hold You back.
@@InfinitusYT Doing much better now in a good place too!!!
Thank you! I hope your RUclips does well! Take care :)
@@derekstepan3888 glad to hear that man, and thanks I am doing the best with what I have to work with right now but it seems to still be working so that is amazing!
When you have no degree and no job skills you have to take what you can get
I have plenty of job skills at least, a lot of degrees are totally useless anyway.
You have no idea what you’re talking about, you’re just repeating negative trash
warehouse work is modern day slavery....treat you know different than a prisoner in fact i worked in a warehouse full of work release ex cons
If that ain't the truth..
hey Infinitus, just wanted to say - you know you are a cute guy, messy hair and all - don't worry about it! Sorry to hear of the troubles you've been through.
Thank You! 😊
Worked in physical nightshift grocery jobs after leaving college. Could never get anything high paying or meaningful where I lived. This caused me to stay stuck for years in low paid work, play havoc with my body and ultimately keep me in long term depressive state. Now I feel completely instatutionalized.
Really sorry to hear all of that, I hope things will get better for You. Don't give up!! if the jobs aren't working out well enough try doing something of Your own like RUclips or something else You would enjoy, don't put all Your eggs in these employers basket because they can take your job away at any time they please.
Bro I feel u I work @ Target I'm the only the guy that they have staffed to throw the trailer, while working with a bunch of women. sometimes I have to push the line too during the hot day in TX. esp. Christmas i.e. towards holiday seasons was hell. 🥵💪
Hope you are doing well. God be with you.
Most jobs are shit. But it’s better than no job.
You’re the problem bub
I was also denied work at my dad's warehouse job because of stupid bureaucracy, but then my dad called out the hypocrisy of another employee that got her daughter hired years ago and bam I was immediately hired
I’ve been working in a target distribution center and it’s demoralizing. I’m lifting 30 to 45 pounds a second for 12 hours.
I work in a warehouse for a major nonprofit, I have no choice, I have3 yrs until retirement, everything hurts all the time, back, hips, arms wrists, they say of it's only 40 pounds lol, I wish it was that, I hate my job, but it pays well and unless it kills me, I can stand it for a couple years
That job was such BS for both of us dude! I wasted 7 years working for that greedy corperation! F**k PooHaul! Lol
What do you do now?
I hurt my back the 2nd day working at the Ramen Noodle factory in PA. Warehouse jobs are BS.
Oof sorry to hear that.. screw warehouses.
Nothing to do with the topic but why did you cut your beautiful hair? :)
it was just weighing Me down alot and I wasn't managing it properly so it was starting to get into knots and stuff. My Mom offered to take Me to get it cut and should help Me look better when looking for work etc.
@@InfinitusYT I get it. Well, both haircuts suit you well. But your Mom is right, employers tend to look at these things, unfortunately. Here in Germany too.
Dude, sounds like going to college, then getting a work from home job, is more your speed. Like you said, you aren’t structurally built to pound your body physically, on a daily basis
I would definitely agree, I just have to make sure I have enough discipline to succeed in college if I go.
You should become a Security Guard
u should ask ur doctor for maid if ur in Canada
I'm in the US, but definitely should talk to a doctor regardless at this point.
Stop worrying about your hair, bro. Its aight.
At least bro got hair
Appreciate that brother! 😅 I'm starting to get used to it not being totally in order now and ppl really don't care that much if it is or not lmao 🤣
No one is built to move around 500 pound items on a consistent basis even the bodybuilding types. These companies need a new way at least when it comes to real heavy / bulky items . Now I feel kind of guilty getting a 40 pound weighted vest(to help lose weight by carrying more weight while I walk) off Amazon very recently . Warehouse should never be a career job if you can help it. I get it if you don’t have a lot of options but we only get older and our bodies don’t recover as fast as in our youth. Okay take the warehouse job when you’re 20 just try not to be the 50 year old still working there. I agree with another person in the comments and start your own business. Lawns always need mowed (just an example business) and it can be hot sweaty work but unlikely you’ll ever do any permanent body damage since most likely there is no heavy lifting. A lot of the guys use riding mowers and the heaviest object you’ll probably lift is a weed eater which is pretty light. It’s hard work but not back breaking permanent body damage kind of work. Hell take the warehouse job save as much as you can and start the mowing business on the side. Buy an old beaten up truck. Don’t spend 50 thousand just to start a business. You can spend when the business is bringing in cash. I’m not racist any way shape or form but take your beaten up truck and few things like weed eaters (push mower if riding one is too expensive right now )and go hire one or two Mexicans . I actually mean the Mexican part as a compliment. They are extremely hard working as long as you’re decent to them and pay them fairly. They might take a lower wage compared to a suburban white kid who wants 40 dollars an hour 😂 right from the start. Still pay the Mexicans fairly. You can up their wage if business gets good . Maybe only do it on the weekends when you can observe them until you can build trust and they can get to a level of trust they are doing jobs during the week while you work. Maybe eventually it’s good enough you can quit your job. Most Mexicans are some of the most honest hardworking church going family oriented people I have ever met. Like I said most Mexicans are honest people but like with all people we are all individuals and you have to earn trust over time because none of us are mind readers . We don’t know if the Mexican will go sell our truck in Mexico while we’re not looking unless we spent time with that individual and built up trust.
Haha! my grandpa is actually from Mexico so I like the idea of hiring them and paying them well building a relationship and trust with them etc. thanks for Your comments!! Building something of My own is something I've always wanted to do and even thought of making a mowing business as a kid so it's funny you mention that and how much detail you thought Into it because I know where You are coming from.
Gonna shorten your lifespan, I guarantee it. This Guy that I worked with got runover by a folktruck. Almost lost his foot.
Yeah, its just not worth it at all.
Been in the industry a long time. Walking seven eight miles a shift. Monday to Friday. Lifting 50kg a piece a time alone. Physically I'm very fit but the pain such as backache, sciatica torn shoulder, right hip at times has been unbearable but come the weekend I'm too tired to do anything except veg. Your body takes a beating over the years of doing it. I'm in the process of looking for a driving job.
Go to a leadership seminar and get into management
You'll need way more than some stupid seminar to become a Manager lol.
a job must be as easy as possible. no weights, no nerves. a janitor, a mailman
These days. college won't get you a job, unless it is healthcare or engineering.
Get into hospital cleaning or a two college ( electric technician). It is good career.
maybe you can join usa civil fleet, or at least army engineering or civil staff. i dont know the usa realms but it seems to be a not bad place to work at.
Nice video. Try to save some money, then quit.
how much a janitor earns in a hospital or a house community janitor for example in your city? i dont think it's too exhausting. at least you in usa have your rights defended by laws, at least you have LAW enforced by the state. in russia LAW is a notion of humour for the last 2-3 years after the nuts maniac putin started the war.
1 day of war costs 10-100 mln$ according to some scholars. billiards of $ were burglared from russia for 20 years of putinism. russia now is a failed state of the level of haiti. imagine living here. you can google images by "россия грязь" and watch images of russian realms
i dont believe you cant earn in usa. i live in putin fascist shithole and here an average salary is like 1.5$/h. you imagine that. the food prices got higher 50-60% a year. eggs are 90r for 10, milk 90 1l, meat 400-700 kg. the average pension is 15000r, that is 150$. be thankful for being born in usa. you have a passport opening 90% of borders without visa. you dont have youtube banned like we do in this shithole. you have a freedom of speech, you have rights, you can carry a gun.
I am absolutely grateful to be living in the US. I can't imagine what Russia is like right now or China/North Korea etc it must be horrible and I am very sorry You have to live in such a country. I hope things can be better in the future for everyone around the world. Thanks for Your comment.
@@InfinitusYT do you have a mind for IT? im stupid for it. y cant u become a sailor trainee or like that?
