Hey I appreciate the support I started a new Channel if yall wanna subscribe to that i don't post much here anymore thanks m.ruclips.net/video/jzQfO07eY2g/видео.html
Bruh working at a warehouse gets you fat. You may think you are working out and moving and all but all that energy you used seemed to be false for some reason and by the end of the month you be looking to buy new belts and bigger pants because the depression and lack of enthusiasm to life will get you
lol if you damage your coffee machine, then you will be fucked over for real. Your body will feel all the pain at least ten times over and you will be miserable.
Every 10 seconds, they expect rate. And people judge say you’re just lazy. You described exactly why people quit. It’s the bad managers. Treating employees like robots, no breather.
And keep making the demand higher with no room to move around freely. Some might track your movements from your RF scanner and questions you why you didn’t make the quota. And sometimes the problems are on the company’s fault due to not enough pick carts ready for picking, or the scanner crashing and needing rebooting, or a battery dying, or people moving your equipment to get by.
I work at a furniture warehouse and everything you are saying is 100% true I'm 7 months in and I'm just so sick and tired of it. I'm a very hard worker and come in and bust my ass but management treats everyone like crap, everyone is pissed off and tired and I feel like everyone is way to overworked and everyone is unhappy.
Most jobs are easy. But you are right, most jobs I quit were all because of mistreatment or shitty management. It is really hard to find management that doesn't suck.
You are spot on! I have been doing warehouse work for 20 years. My body is all messed up! Now that my son is older, I don't need the big checks as much, so I am going back to school in September for computers. I don't even care if I make less money--at least I'll have my mental and physical health. If anyone is reading this, don't work in a warehouse. Don't do it! Don't do it! Don't do it! It's not worth it!
@@mikeg884 My gut says the hospital. There's more room for growth in the healthcare setting anyway. Working at a wearhouse seems like a revolving door.
@@muhamedjones122 You said it yourself bro, hospital all the way, working at a warehouse is a dead end ass job at the end of the day, plus you're part of something that's actually really helping people at a hospital
I worked at Amazon's warehouse for a month and I had to run away. I felt as if I were a robot and had no soul. It was the scariest experience of my life. Stowing endlessly and hearing that beeping sound, pushing massive carts while I limp in agony for $17 an hour. I saw people who had been there for a long period of time and I saw how much of a toll that warehouse had taken on their bodies. They looked horrific, something straight out of a scary movie. We had these manager assistants that would follow us around all the day and constantly remind us of our stowing rates or picking accuracy. Even when I was the second fastest stower, they would show up with a big fake smile and ask me to stow more aisles. I saw 60 and 70 year olds there and that made me even more depressed. Hearing the managers announcements every few hours and hearing the terrible music they'd play over and over everyday, made me question every decision I have ever made in life. I'm glad that I finished nursing school and I'm working at a geriatric center now but I still have nightmares about the warehouse I worked at and I feel incredibly bad for all the genuine and hardworking people in the warehouse I worked at. I'm incredibly amazed by how you managed to work in a warehouse for three years. It takes a special person with an incredible amount of mental strength.
And the supervisors will get on your case if you make one tiny mistake. And some might write you up without your knowledge until it is too late. Then you will have to face the HR inquisition with no one to defend you and no supervisors Conveniently available, and out the door you go on your ears
@@johnfoltz8183 personally the pay is worth it, from working in a bar 40 hours a week £9.50 an hour to nearly £17 an hour working nights in a warehouse
i looked up the pay for geriatric nurses and...yeah, avoid amazon warehouses like the plague...or any warehouse for that matter because holy tap dancing fuck, dude
Spot on bro! I used to work at Reinhart Foodservice and it was stressful. When we we're in the busy season they hire everybody but when it gets slow they start firing people for petty things, like being late for 2mins or getting too many mispicks. I'm never working on a warehouse again money was good but I don't want to end up like those guys that been there for 20 years. I got into trucking and I love it man. Home every night and just drive no bs and no manual labor. And it's great money 💰 more than you can ever get working on a warehouse. Knowing a trade can get you get further in life.
Fucking facts… when they start to get busy they will hire any and everybody then start firing people when shit start slowing down.. I worked with for 2 years they will hire all these people just to fire them it’s sad asf
The best type of warehouse work is the one that is considered “warehouse” but you don’t work much. I found a warehouse where barely anything happens and the job is easy yet the company has to pay me as if it’s a normal warehouse. So I’m getting the same amount of money as any other warehouse but I’m working less than a cashier at a store. My tip is to find a small warehouse, never work for the big ones. A medium sized one or less. Become the reliable worker who is always on time and never says no. Eventually you will get leader role when the old dude retires
@@HenryPaulThe3rd there is no examples. its literally as i said, medium sized or smaller. anything that has less than 50 workers or so. a place that got a good system where the machine does everything for you rather than manual labour.
@@brandonSSSSSS yeah, the one one retires, they have to give the role to someone who knows everything rather than a new hire who doesnt know anything. it makes no sense to hire someone new than to give it someone who's been there for years
I’m a Warehouse worker, a year now I worked in all places where I work, from hoist line to forklift driving. Rule 1: ONLY talk about work, let managers approach you and let them ask you questions about yourself. Rule 2: Keep your head down, keep working. Rule 3: Don’t create drama 🎭 if something annoys you, start off the conversation with “this is getting kinda annoying…”
It is a real job, You can work your way up. You can be an Assembler Forklift Operator Machine Operator Warehouse Associate Inventory Scanning Labeling Packaging You can learn to operate the Electric/Manual Pallet Jack Cherry Picker HiLo Different types of Forklifts There's lots of OSHA Training in this area and there's lots to learn
I’ve been working part time at a warehouse for over a month now. I’m in school for software engineering. Every time I go to work I always feel depressed over there, idk why. It definitely motivates me to study and do good in school because I can not work at a warehouse the rest of my life
im in the same boat. i mean, why do you think im in school to begin with? working full time at those type of jobs is one of my biggest fears and i want to try my best to keep that from happening. if it ever does happen, i would bawl out cry and have a full on panic attack, thinking about how fucked my life is and what did i do to end up here...forever. and before you ask, im in school for computer programming
This was me , I worked a factory job for a little over 3 years & was making almost 23hr , but I finally left last year because it was stressing me out every day & it was nothing but miserable people there.
I'm currently a tire tech and have been for almost 4 years and I hate it 🙃. Same deal, high stress and nothing but miserable people who hate it just as much as you do. Been thinking about going to an Autozone distribution center but it looks like it'll suck just as much.
$23.00/HR? And you threw that away? That's Crazy! Advice: If you eat right and stay away from Sugar and Salt, you'll be able to work more efficiently, I'm not saying you but just generalizing🤷♂️
I’m 25 , been at a warehouse for 5 years. Luckily I got a loader bid, I make $31 an hour, work about 45hour weeks, 2 days off. I don’t stack or bend over, just scoop them up with a fork and put them in the trailer. I take like 3 30min breaks and my lunch every shift, management doesn’t bother me. So not every warehouse job situation sucks, however I got lucky, most people had to pick orders for 10-15+ years
Also, I hit the gym everyday before the work and can still run my errands. On top of that once you get FMLA you pick your days off, great union too so company can’t fuck with you. No kids makes my situation a lot better too, I don’t have that ‘I’m stuck here’ feeling. However, when I was picking I was miserable lmao
Facts if you load and receive more than pick and make $35 an hour and have FMLA it’s tolerable. People be letting the job get to them when it doesn’t have to be like that at all
@@Duh_wettest95 Yeah like you said, it’s ‘tolerable’ but still not ideal. However, it’s far from being the worse, it’s a great avenue to take, and can pay the bills/help you start a good life. We recently got approved for $40 an hour on our new contract but I’m almost done with my degree, hoping to land an accounting job and move into management eventually.
@@helloimclaudio yeah well you got a way out then. But yes very far from ideal but like you said when the next union contract negotiations come up then there will be a pay increase. Not the worst gig at all
Warehouse and production jobs suck. They have the worst soul sucking work environments that always seem to attract a-holes. I’ve worked with so many cocky young a-hole coworkers. And then, if you’re a shift worker, there’s the mandatory overtime they spring on you during your shift because someone from the next shift called out. Screw that! I have a life outside of work. Once I work the hours I’m scheduled for, I’m out. I don’t care if I’m getting good money. Good money doesn’t mean anything if I don’t have time to spend it. I would never work that kind of bs job again.
@@ayebender8309I just finished doing a 16hrs shift at Coca-Cola lol. I absolutely understand we’re you’re coming from . Most of the older employees look like shit . There fat , out of shape and grumpy. Warehouse work beat your body up over the years too .
It sounds like your warehouse was just an all around shitty place. I'm 24 I'm 5'4" and I weigh about 115 lbs and I'm the only girl at my warehouse. I also worked in a car wash and I loved it. But I personally love manual labor. I hate helping customers. I like being by myself and being away from people. It's not all bad I promise.
@@imiaze5546 Who are you to say it’s not career work? I work in fridge/freezer storage, I personally enjoy working where I work. I’ve been in warehousing for about 3-4 years and I still enjoy it. It’s the best job I’ve ever had. Making bank enjoying what I do, but I also don’t have a dream of a career. I use a job as “this is what makes me money to do what I want” if I can make 60-70k a year doing so where I live at happily I’m very content staying where I’m at. I’m not going to say it’s for everyone, because it’s not, but I go in there do what I gotta do then get out. I work 5-6 days a week but if I got plans or want off I can. The rewards they give are kinda childish but at least they are giving you something for working lol. Everyone is chill where I work at, we all know we have a job to do do it we cut up sometimes but our job doesn’t care what you do as long as you hit your production for the week. It’s mandatory you get cross trained in everything so you never know what you are doing when you come in so it’s not super repetitive. I don’t know man I like it.
I treat my warehouse gig like get paid to exercise, and I’ve made sure to eat decently - can’t half ass the diet or lifting form, that’s how people get injures
I really need to get in more shape, facts. But imagine physical labor then hitting up the gym later 😭. Yes, some things are dude things to me. This is why they have more muscle mass. Im not weak but id be lying if I said sh dont hurt. Bc it does. I guess im just used to it. So sometimes if ppl were to say my part is easy... its like yeah, if u think lifting big machinery around on a belt for cleaning & production & then entering data, or inventory is then sure thing 👍. Bc doing that sh back to back... all i can say is im glad im just working "8" hrs... Id say idk how I haven't lost weight but im not trying to cook after work either... but I do, do stretches all throughout my work days. Hoping I won't strain sh. I've never been a popper either. Always popping sh Now, I just stretch and I hear my bones 🥴
He is absolutely right! I worked in one for 10 years. Fresh out of high school wanting to make money believing hard work I the way to go. Wasted my entire 20's. If you need the work to pay bills sure but don't stay. It's a trap.
I knew a dude who worked 35 years in a factor and, he was the most miserable guy I knew. I was so sad for that dude bc he had nothing else but work. Then they forced him to retire after like 35 years. It was just like thanks bye. He was the most miserable person I ever met.
Idk but he never married or got layed. He would lie about women he sleep with so people wouldn't judge him for being a loser hahahaha. Then one day he cut off his finger at the factory. It was so crazy
My dads dad $ his brother worked at ford for like 30 years retired My moms dad 20years became a RN NURSE…his 2nd wife about 30 Her kids and grand kids work there My moms I think uncle worked there 30 & became a branch chain manger….. And I had another grandma do a few years beckame a nurse & my mom did a few years & been a nurse for like 30 years… Respect factory work. But at the same time it is really just a temp job. Not a career…do a few year he’ll if you have to 10 or even 20 then get out
Due to being grown I was sort of forced to do warehouse work again. However I'm a certified security officer so going from doing Something I love and trained to do vs a low lazy paying job made me appreciate my trade more. Because I realise that warehouse work is just a job like mcdonald's or better yet worse. Forklifters mostly push pallets and zoom around doing little work that everybody else is busting sweat for. If you can do better get a trade or degree and leave the warehouses. I worked in these environments 6 times and it's not worth it unless you are a supervisor or truck driver unloading packages.
I dibbled & dabbled with warehousing thru out my life & its basically everything you described. I made a promise to myself not to work in warehousing again but i kinda broke it recently. I saw a flyer outside for a warehouse job & it paid $16 an hour. I worked on wknds & after 2 1/2 wknds i quit. I was on my feet for 10-12 hours & only got a 45 min break if i worked 10 hours & an extra 15 min break if i did 12 hours. I quit right at my lunch break. Its just not worth it to me. If you need to make a few hundred dollars to pay a bill or whatnot then do ur thing & bounce but as a career? HELL TO THE NAW!!
And they know it too. They know what you’re doing. Now at least if I go to another warehouse job I don’t have to put on a front like it’s going to be my career like I did the other times I went.
I work at Coca Cola and I hate it I’ve been here for 2 weeks and I fucking hate it. I’m 29 and and sometimes I feel like a failure because I cant keep a job anymore but honestly I’m just tired of hard labor I’ve been doing it for 11 years at different jobs and I’ve just had enough. I got dreams and ambitions and every day I’m not working towards it I feel miserable and me needing the money always traps me in situations like this.
I share the sentiment you do, and I have experienced first hand every single situation you described. It is such a toxic environment, with power hungry bullies that treat you like a robot. Older broken down men who have let themselves go. The younger adults that spend every paycheck they get, which leads them to get trapped in the warehouse to pay off their financial mistakes. I'm starting my first day tomorrow at a warehouse because I just need the money immediately. But I'm going to work hard on my days off to find a respectable job in an office
Wow 16 hours for a shift that’s a long time! I worked at Amazon for just about a year and I quit. They work you to death manual labor, they bark at you if you’re a couple minutes late from break. So that’s what I told my supervisor my brake starts when I get to the break room and ends 15 minutes later when I leave the break room. Walking to and from the break room does not count towards your break. You have to tell your managers how you’re going to do things or else they will walk all over you. I hated it. They just treat you like a machine.
See that’s the kind of jobs I’ve always preferred, sure weekdays I was worked to shit but I still had loads of money compared to if I worked in hospitality or something of that nature
I feel you bro I did that warehouse receiving shit for a bit but I saw a opening as a maintenance assistant in the same company and I got the job and you see how jealous people get when you move up and don’t have to answer to the warehouse managers it’s weird bro warehouse work is where souls go to die💯
Warehouse work for small to mid-sized companies can be alright as you tend to do the whole process rather than just one monotone job (picking in your case). Generally speaking you're also more appreciated by your supervisor and people above them as you're more important to the company's performance and less expendable than you are as an ant in a haystack for the big companies. The wages and hours also tend to be better in my experience.
dude every job is like this. That is why I don't stay in one company and job for maximum of two years. whenever I start a new job I like it because I am learning new thing but once it become routine then it start boring me and I quit. As far as any job is concern people get fed up.
I worked at a warehouse for 6 months and it was honestly some of the easiest money I ever made. There are different kinds of warehouses. This one had about 8 people in the entire place. A few pickers, a few loaders for the trucks. It was quiet, clean, and I basically had to work HARD for about 30 mins, and then got 30 mins to sometimes 2 HOURS to just hang out and wait for another order. My co-workers were really cool and nice, we joked around during downtime, and management was nice too. There was no "rate" thay had to be met, you had several orders a day to pick. As long as you got it done, you could pretty much come in whenever, and stay til you're finished, which was never later than 4:00 pm. There was also BIG windows all over so plenty of daylight. That was HUGE. All depends on the place.
I've worked in a warehouse for about years. Everything you mention in the video is very true. Not only that also they want you in early asf, you get hurt they won't care. I used to have to take the bus to the warehouse job that would be far very tiring I would vent every morning before going it was that stressful.
Dude, I really appreciate your honesty! At 56, out of necessity because of lockdowns, I JUST started working a warehouse - 1st shift was on Friday night. I've NEVER worked so hard in my life, and when I think about it, because it was my first day, they took it easy on me! The order picking wasn't the issue it was loading the trucks near the last 2-3 hours of your shift. The loading dock was inside, but the trucks can only back up so close to the edge of the building where enough of the -25 degree cold air was, and the physical sweating took me from hot to cold - my sweating, combined with the cold made me freeze. I'm not sure how long I'll have to do this for but I CERTAINLY understand how you might DREAD going into work! Thanks!
@@MWorsa so, part of the reason I took the job was because cv-19 lockdowns did not permit me to work my regular job (of almost 40 years) as a bartender. At the time, I didnt see any end to the lockdowns in sight, so I had no other alternative but to find another source of income. Once the restrictions were lifted about a month later, I went back to my previous bartending job of 26 years where I am now. Thanks for asking!
The work is bad for you long term. People are pissed off and rude. Still, do not ever think you wasted a life if all you did was this work you're entire life. Be proud if you were moving items people needed. I load food for a Grocery store here in the Detroit area for a trucking company. I am proud I am getting people food. Still, if you can find a better path for yourself, I would recommend that.
Try an find an Inventory position for Warehouse work. That’s the sweet spot. No Quota’s, No being on a forklift all day, no constant lifting or stacking. I had a Inventory Control processor position in a Warehouse once. And it was great. Easy going, just counting, and some data entry. I was still in the warehouse not in an office. But I wasn’t doing typical warehouse grunt work. Everyone else around me was busting their ass.
This is all real shit bruh. All facts. Another thing they do is they have people battling each other over “numbers” and “who throw the highest”. Then you go home come back and repeat. No raise for “throwing high”. Nothing. Warehouse work is a scam. I recommend people only do it for short term, whatever you consider short term but at the same time your working at the warehouse be working on yourself whether it be your own business or going to school.
Fuck the metrics, unless you’re mgt or being monitored by a computer. Going faster, being better only gets you used and walked on. Don't kiss ass. Lazy, unproductive coworkers have it easier, tidier, or whatever. Mgt starts to feel entitled to the benefits you bring, but give no fucks about you as a person. Get sick, injured, or other life events happen, you’ll likely be discarded.
Not saying to be lazy or unproductive. Most warehouses I have been will fire people for that, such as falling asleep. Just be productive in terms only doing what they ask, no more, no less. And hopefully, mgt isn’t overzealous or micromanaging.
'Why impress people you dont like or care for" SOO TRUE I am highschool student, and only see that with kids bragging "I got a new car, i got a new pair of J's etc, we all know those wanna be rich people Me on the other hand I wanna start working young and make the $$$ and invest into the stock market, Bottom line is work hard now and retire early!
Sadly retirement is no guarantee if the person passes away before that age of retirement you don't collect it. I like the idea of having different streams of side hustles making me income that are not job related. I will be finding some kind of part time job but full time I probably won't do again. The only thing a person misses out on is the health care and benefits by not going full time at some jobs. I guess sacrifices need to be made to reach your goals.
Fuck spot on dude I was going through the same exact thing people there just are so miserable gave up on there lives I was miserable there and I was only there for 5 months! The point that broke me was sitting at lunch like I gotta leave this place and a older worker passed by me and said “what I would do if I had you’re youth I would kill to be as young as you” I was 19 at the time and I walked out when I heard that I need to follow my dreams
Damn im a 19 year old girl who works at a warehouse rn and i get lots of looks i dont know the meaning of - perhaps they’re thinking the same thing. Im sad for these older people, and i feel bad im apart of the reason they’re sad. :/
@@STICKY_I’m 19 currently working in a warehouse also working on my dream on the side pls don’t stay in warehouse for ever working on your education and your side hustles
I've been working for the United States Postal Service 2020 and was surprised to find out it was just a warehouse. Even worse, a plant. Coming from an office setting with the government, this was a huge culture shock. Without the overtime, the money is not that great.
Bro I never seen so many depressed people working at Amazon there was literally a guy crying in the bathroom, The thing I hate is the brakes there especially if you’re working in the back of the warehouse you have to walk literally 3 to 5 minutes just to get to the break room. and then you gotta wait in line if you brought food just to heat up your food at the microwave because they don’t have enough microwaves like what the fuck man!
I pick about 10 hours a day, roughly 8,000 lbs. It’s a good basic job for young people, people without degrees. You can make 16$ an hour with no training that ain’t bad. But yeah it’s all about production of course. Just don’t pick a shitty warehouse. You get good management at a place with easy work you’re set until you make you’re next move. It’s a great inbetween job.
I worked 3rd shift for a warehouse back in like 2011. NEVER AGAIN. Fast forward to 2024 I am a Cybersecurity Engineer working from home making 6 figures. Sometimes you need to work a miserable job to push you towards something better
I’m in this situation right now. I work at a place called Valassis for the past two years and it’s seriously breaking down my drive and spirit. We barley get any days off maybe one day out of the week if that. And for only $13 an hour. Stacking coupon bundles on pallets all night. Plus I work the night shift and that shit has been killing my social life. My supervisor is mean af, always on my back over small shit. I’m really considering quitting soon and just driving for Uber or something cus this shit is torture on my mental health. It feels like prison. Smh.
I worked at a place in NJ that basically did the same thing. They would send coupons & other junk mail out all over the country. On some days, they had me doing merging, which is pretty much what you described. That sh!t was tearing my back up, plus it was summertime so that made it even more miserable being in that hot as$ warehouse. They were only paying freakin' $12 an hour for a 12 hour shift SMH.
16 hours shift????? Holy shit!!!! There's only 24 hours a day. 16 hours of work means you only got like 8 hours to yourself and most of that is going to rest and sleep. Fucking brutal.
I’m not even gone lie this is the best ware house job I ever had. I drive sit down fork lift all day unloading loading trailers no physical work soon as I get done with my truck we chilling no managers on your neck. All my bosses smoke weed with me on break 💪🏾💪🏾😂😊 20 a hour Monday through Friday week ends Ot not mandatory. Every thing you just explained is what I experienced at every job except this one
@@jamelfergusson it's super rare or it never happens when management changes and it takes millions or billions for that to happen. The Meta now in 2022 is inflation so the less items in the market the higher the cost and the profit goes to the company ( For non essential products).
“Rather do something that makes me happy.” Yeah that shit works up until you gotta grow a pair, everyone wants money but nobody wants to make sacrifices. It’s work, currently working in a warehouse, but chasing a trade certificate currently. If you’re chasing to be better, any kind of work, is work.
At my old gig we got 2 15 min. Breaks!! On top of that no air conditioning in the warehouse... I would look up at them in their offices enjoying comfort provided by the central air... the only space that was comfortable for us was the lunch room that we could rarely be in.
Honestly,i'm deeply shocked to hear that you have to be at work every single day for 16Hrs. ...and not having proper breaks...i wonder what the Unions are doing about this serious issue !?Are they looking after the people,or do they just collect the money ,and pretending to work for them...what a joke this is !I live in Australia,and i know how it is in a Warehouse...but hearing your story from the US...it feels like America is going back into the past...! When i was younger,i used to work overtime...but never exceeding 10 Hrs. ...and now,that i'm in my fiftys...i don't even wanna work for 8Hrs....it's just too much for me...because of the physical stress,your body is taking a big blow from that...and nobody's asking how we feel...absolute ridicilous how we live in this world! If you think slavery is over...wake up,it's never gonna be over...it's just modernised...! Sometimes i'm asking myself...what's the meaning of life...being born,and slave away your whole life...! That being said...i wish you good luck in finding a more relaxed job,where you don't have to break your back for that stupid money...i already reached that point...and i'm glad...cheers!!
@@ayebender8309 hey man! I work at a warehouse, 20 years old. Dollar general. It’s really relaxed man but I’m sure that is because we are hitting our numbers so they have no reason to micro manage or be upset? I just stayed so idk. It’s going well as of now though. I work the weekend shift, 12 hours Friday Saturday and Sunday
Glad you made this video thought about working for Chewy in their warehouse. I'm a tow truck driver and I have about the same working downsides. I'm stressed, dreading going in to work, plus my body is just basically broken. Got a busted knuckle, bad shoulder, bad knees, and heart palpitations and anxiety everyday.
Warehousing isn't for everyone. I've been at one for 3 years. 42-46 hours, 4 days a week, easiest job I've ever had. Only reason I'm leaving soon is because I'm moving away for personal reasons outside of work
I make 70k working in a warehouse and it’s not even that difficult. I think if you work up to management you can make a solid career out of it, without ever going to school and taking out debt.
Create a union brother, we have CFMEU in Australia, we take care of our own and make sure we all getting treated fairly and looked after and paid!!! CFMEU 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
Awesome of you for sharing your experience I’m 24 and I’m seriously tired of working at a warehouse it’s honestly super sad and depressing working in one . This year my goal is to do something for myself and be my own boss
Damn bro you nailed it. Everything you mentioned is exactly how it is. I did warehousing for 9 years just up and left. Like mentally couldn't do it, inviosioning yourself to be so much better then that it was just doing my head in. Wish I came across this video 5 years ago. I'm 30 now and still thinking what career path to chose. All I know is I'll never go back there again haha
Damn, i just applied a warehouse job today, and the ONLY reason i applied to be a warehouse worker is because i need to lose weight(i'm not fat, but i need abs.) I was a data analyst making 3 times the amount that this warehouse pays me. But sitting all day is KILLING my back, even my doctor told me i need to move around a lot. So I applied let's call it warehouse A, then i got declined, they told me i'm overqualified. I have never heard of such thing before this! So i went home and modified my resume, i took the college degree off, and make it seems like i'm still in college. I also didn't include my data analyst jobs in, and then i applied warehouse B, and i got hired. I went in for the interview today, and it was shockingly easy. I printed a resume on those fancy resume paper, and they barely looked at it or even talked to me, it's pretty much walk in, drug test, background screen and i was told i was hired on site..... And there i was prepared a whole speech lol cuz my previous jobs in tech have REALLY long and thorough interviews, most requires 3 seperate interview sessions. So this was new to me. Anyway, watching ur video made me realize how lucky i am to have options and can quit anytime when it takes toll on me. But my plan has always been just work there for 3-6 months to lose weight, move more to fix my lower back, relax out my brain and then get back to my normal life. But now i'm not sure i'll be able to fix my back and relax my brain LOL. Well, we'll see.
@@mystummyhurt7187 No hahaha I only worked there for 2 months before I quit. I did lose weight, I recall I lost like 6lbs, but then I gained it all back a few weeks after I quit.
Having to come into work at 1 o’clock or 2 o’clock or even 3 o’clock in the morning because they will always change the start time at ups it was the worst. Your body is supposed to be resting at them times. Then you have to deal with the struggle sleeping during the day
Thats why if I know im working in a warehouse which I've been doing since I was 17 and im 21 but I make sure that I go And see what type of work im dealing with because I've been through that experience as well big dawg but shout out to all them warehouse workers that actually busted their asses and to you as well as a fellow warehouse employee
I work the warehouse of a production plant. I pull parts and bring it out to the different cells, i get to meet a bunch of different people and I find it very fulfilling
I retired early after 40 plus years. Drove the crew like pack mules, you could get a pat on the back one day and the next get written up for lack of production even though you busted your hide in heat of summer,,,no time adjustment. Work safe but don't let that productivity slip. Robots is a good way to put it, your nothing but a piece of equipment. Stressful every day takes a toll. You really said it all. I feel for the guys still in there I knew since I started. And it just keeps getting worse. The turnover is constant, and a lot.
WOW.. I've worked in a warehouse and my current employer for 11 years and it's used to be like that but now is definitely different bc of new management
I got a bad back when I was young from being a great picker. Young and had a pick rate of 500 cartons an hour. One guy worked there ….who left….and went to prison for a year and then got a job again there and I was still doing the same thing. I was jealous that he got a life and experiences. I realised that if I kept at it I would get physical issues that are never compensated for. So I decided dealing was better.
Ive been working at a warehouse for about 4 months now, and what he described is the exact opposite of what this place is. It really just depends on what company it is
I started at my warehouse job around March I enjoy the environment, mostly because I already had a friend working there and he helped me a lot to adjust It pays decently and got a good schedule. There have been some crazy days where we have gotten backed up on orders but i enjoy it for the most part
I just quit my warehouse job, it was a furniture/linen/glassware/decor/huge tents warehouse, when I started it was waaaay worse, still not that great but excited for the next move in little more than a week. I used to work until I was dizzy and felt like I was going to have a mental breakdown, a coworker was snappy and miserable and make me feel dumb, I had to deal with sensory processing disorder and autism. One day I had to be in the hot sun putting up a huge tent, one day working 16 hours packing trucks up and dealing with the roof leaking and smelling mold. Now I quit because I was scared for the busy season because of one year I woke up in the morning and completely destroyed my room and punched a hole in the wall and I felt sick for a couple months after that. So before it gets too busy I better not get that far again just in case, I don’t care about the pay. Right now it’s not too bad but I quit and going out in a week so I don’t have to deal with that again.
16 hours is too much,I used to work in the car manufacturing place making parts for GM but no boss ever messed with me,the most hours I worked is 12 hours a day 5 days and sometimes we could volunteer for the weekends
Its all a sacrifice and how much you really want to achieve your goal, everyone chooses there path in life. You can honestly decide to go to school and do a job more decent and respect. Or simply just put in the work and smoke a wood.
@@screwedupmystic2597 for sure. Not even work experience is enough. In order to make it these days you need to have connections and friends in the right places
I don’t mind warehouse work but that shit gets boring and tedious after a while. Doing the same shit for 12 hours a day. It’s like saying your ABC’s when you’re an adult for 12 hours a day. That shit gets boring after a while.
I've also started working in a warehouse. We start a lot of projects with shampoos, products like Ariel for cleaning clothes, Lenor, or products for cleaning dishes! I also have 1 women supervisor, 2 supervisors! Problem is that we have a lot of stations and start projects on any station! We have machines for wrapping products! I work on a machine in flux: Pallets come with this products! We take them out of the box, put again in another box with different stickers and on pallets again! Another issue is that sometimes you start on a different station and then at your station: We have to make boxes in advance and stickers! It is flux work! I get the ideea with supervisors! They stare at us a lot! I also have colleagues that are mumbling and that negative energy can get you! On my station I have to put boxes in 5 rows on pallet! Fortunately the machine wraps the products but on 5th row I have to scotch the boxes before I finish the pallet! A lot of women that are mumbling cause they don't want to scotch the boxes! I can do that but when I do it takes time: When I scotch the last row they come fast from the machine that's why is easy for women to scotch them then me! Another issues: A lot of palletisations for different products and the instructions regarding them are not explicit! For instance: 6 boxes in one part, 4 boxes: 2+2 and again 4 boxes and 6 boxes! I also have simple ones: 5 in a row and 5 on the other: This type of palletisation I have on the wrapping machine! I have pictures with palletisations but they are not clear cause you only see geometrical shapes of the pallets with colours instead of seeing the pallet in the pictures with boxes that you need to add differently and the simple boxes!
One of the truest description of warehouse work ive heard. Ive worked at ups and now work at Amazon. Boy oh boy. Biggest mistakes in my life. But i gotta do what i gotta do for now just to try to get far. But it work on your body and your mental state. Word of advice for people trying to join. Understand that you're accepting a slave job. Use it to get what you need but dont get stuck. Dont get complacent. Its more out.
Honestly I used to work in the warehouse the Parking lot brand-new cars Once you get inside the warehouse Everyone’s mad everyone to depressed like it’s so sad to see people gave up their self there like people in their 30s to 50s telling me go to college I didn’t wanna go to college tbh I don’t Want to be working in a warehouse for four years and doing overtime to pay off college. I work in the warehouse for six months save up my money doing overtime Went to electrician school and I only took me six months to graduate. If you don’t want to work in the warehouse for your rest of your life don’t buy stupid stuff save up your money And just find a good career that you would love to do in the electrician I’m making $110k years every time when I need to work in the warehouse and I just see the people I’ll be like thank God I made it out
You just described my last job to a Tee, just started at a new warehouse, and it has the best attitude of any warehouse I’ve seen. People are real nice and helpful, they’ll stop to talk to you for a minute or two, supervisors won’t say anything unless your one month report isn’t very good, but a bad day happens and they understand that and won’t bs you about an 70/80% day. And the production is real easy I got 108% my first day barely knowing what I was doing at the time. Nice to see smiles when I drive by people, much different. Work still hard but that’s work for ya. Probably because it’s the medical field, they might actually see us as people 😂
You say you worked 16 hours per day 6 days a week. That's 96 hours per week. You also say you got $20 per hour. This means you made $1,920 per week. After six months you made $49,920. Your warehouse job almost pays you six figures. That's why it was tough. How much do you make these days? Minimum wage? Man, I bet you miss that money!!
That $800 a week is a good start, but you have to save it and invest to a skill with less manual labor like I’m using working at a gas station since it pays the same to save up to study for IT
At my warehouse it was usually chill the whole time mainly because my boss was a real G. He was so down to earth and made it easier to come to the warehouse and work the night shift and we usually had two 30min breaks on an 8hour shift
Definitely spoke facts about warehouse jobs. I regarded signing up for a sooo muchhh warehouse job, I am very hard worker get the work out. Some mangers are cool. Although they would just find extra work once you finish. Also, some mangers have favorites as if they too good to change stations. It definitely feels like slavery, drain just walking into their daily because you know your gonna be overworked. Tried telling ppl about this they just say, it’s a job why you complaining so much. Only people who actually work inside a warehouse will truly experience everything you said. It’s very physically, mentally and emotionally draining. The people are so down to earth and kind there. Also, it takes a strong person to pull away and or reduce. The Lord wants us in a clean state of mind and not overworking ourselves.

Have you seen the military?
fuck im depressed as hell trying to get out of customer service looking for a warehouse job lmao
Bruh working at a warehouse gets you fat. You may think you are working out and moving and all but all that energy you used seemed to be false for some reason and by the end of the month you be looking to buy new belts and bigger pants because the depression and lack of enthusiasm to life will get you

Every 10 seconds, they expect rate. And people judge say you’re just lazy. You described exactly why people quit. It’s the bad managers. Treating employees like robots, no breather.
Yes!! No appreciation. And then every NOW AND THEN they say hello and keep walking
@@vickyandersen8660 no appreciation other than good job thats it.

And keep making the demand higher with no room to move around freely. Some might track your movements from your RF scanner and questions you why you didn’t make the quota. And sometimes the problems are on the company’s fault due to not enough pick carts ready for picking, or the scanner crashing and needing rebooting, or a battery dying, or people moving your equipment to get by.
They gonna replace us with a robot
I work at a furniture warehouse and everything you are saying is 100% true
I'm 7 months in and I'm just so sick and tired of it. I'm a very hard worker and come in and bust my ass but management treats everyone like crap, everyone is pissed off and tired and I feel like everyone is way to overworked and everyone is unhappy.
And they keep coming up with all sorts of rules for you to try to keep up with
Ashley furniture?
Eat right
Stay away from Sugar
Stay away from Salt
And you'll be able to work more efficiently
Most jobs are easy. But you are right, most jobs I quit were all because of mistreatment or shitty management. It is really hard to find management that doesn't suck.
You are spot on! I have been doing warehouse work for 20 years. My body is all messed up! Now that my son is older, I don't need the big checks as much, so I am going back to school in September for computers. I don't even care if I make less money--at least I'll have my mental and physical health. If anyone is reading this, don't work in a warehouse. Don't do it! Don't do it! Don't do it! It's not worth it!
I'm on the fence of weather I should work in a warehouse or a hospital. I think imma do the hospital.
@@muhamedjones122 Hospital all the way!
@@mikeg884 My gut says the hospital. There's more room for growth in the healthcare setting anyway. Working at a wearhouse seems like a revolving door.
@@muhamedjones122 You said it yourself bro, hospital all the way, working at a warehouse is a dead end ass job at the end of the day, plus you're part of something that's actually really helping people at a hospital
If you eat right, you wouldn't be in physical pain so much
I worked at Amazon's warehouse for a month and I had to run away. I felt as if I were a robot and had no soul. It was the scariest experience of my life. Stowing endlessly and hearing that beeping sound, pushing massive carts while I limp in agony for $17 an hour. I saw people who had been there for a long period of time and I saw how much of a toll that warehouse had taken on their bodies. They looked horrific, something straight out of a scary movie. We had these manager assistants that would follow us around all the day and constantly remind us of our stowing rates or picking accuracy. Even when I was the second fastest stower, they would show up with a big fake smile and ask me to stow more aisles. I saw 60 and 70 year olds there and that made me even more depressed. Hearing the managers announcements every few hours and hearing the terrible music they'd play over and over everyday, made me question every decision I have ever made in life. I'm glad that I finished nursing school and I'm working at a geriatric center now but I still have nightmares about the warehouse I worked at and I feel incredibly bad for all the genuine and hardworking people in the warehouse I worked at. I'm incredibly amazed by how you managed to work in a warehouse for three years. It takes a special person with an incredible amount of mental strength.
And the supervisors will get on your case if you make one tiny mistake. And some might write you up without your knowledge until it is too late. Then you will have to face the HR inquisition with no one to defend you and no supervisors Conveniently available, and out the door you go on your ears
@@johnfoltz8183 personally the pay is worth it, from working in a bar 40 hours a week £9.50 an hour to nearly £17 an hour working nights in a warehouse
i looked up the pay for geriatric nurses and...yeah, avoid amazon warehouses like the plague...or any warehouse for that matter because holy tap dancing fuck, dude
Very interesting comment !!!
😂😂 man up
Spot on bro! I used to work at Reinhart Foodservice and it was stressful. When we we're in the busy season they hire everybody but when it gets slow they start firing people for petty things, like being late for 2mins or getting too many mispicks. I'm never working on a warehouse again money was good but I don't want to end up like those guys that been there for 20 years. I got into trucking and I love it man. Home every night and just drive no bs and no manual labor. And it's great money 💰 more than you can ever get working on a warehouse. Knowing a trade can get you get further in life.
Well spoken brother
Fucking facts… when they start to get busy they will hire any and everybody then start firing people when shit start slowing down.. I worked with for 2 years they will hire all these people just to fire them it’s sad asf
Dam in LA warehouse pay middle wages
The best type of warehouse work is the one that is considered “warehouse” but you don’t work much. I found a warehouse where barely anything happens and the job is easy yet the company has to pay me as if it’s a normal warehouse. So I’m getting the same amount of money as any other warehouse but I’m working less than a cashier at a store.
My tip is to find a small warehouse, never work for the big ones. A medium sized one or less. Become the reliable worker who is always on time and never says no. Eventually you will get leader role when the old dude retires
Can you say what type of warehouse? Or give some examples 🙏🏻
@@HenryPaulThe3rd there is no examples. its literally as i said, medium sized or smaller. anything that has less than 50 workers or so. a place that got a good system where the machine does everything for you rather than manual labour.
@@xondeez757 ok thanks for the help. I’m at sysco now it sucks so bad
Haha when the old dude retires lol you're not lying
@@brandonSSSSSS yeah, the one one retires, they have to give the role to someone who knows everything rather than a new hire who doesnt know anything. it makes no sense to hire someone new than to give it someone who's been there for years
It is a very tiring job, physically and mentally..
Eat right and it wouldn't bother you
I’m a Warehouse worker, a year now I worked in all places where I work, from hoist line to forklift driving. Rule 1: ONLY talk about work, let managers approach you and let them ask you questions about yourself. Rule 2: Keep your head down, keep working. Rule 3: Don’t create drama 🎭 if something annoys you, start off the conversation with “this is getting kinda annoying…”
this should apply to all jobs tbh.
THIS piece of advice is what made me survive a year of warehouse duty
@@samuraiy6696 It’s been a year and a half for me

I’ve been working part time at a warehouse for over a month now. I’m in school for software engineering. Every time I go to work I always feel depressed over there, idk why. It definitely motivates me to study and do good in school because I can not work at a warehouse the rest of my life
Same I feel it’s good for me to work on my studies feel good make a little$
im in the same boat. i mean, why do you think im in school to begin with? working full time at those type of jobs is one of my biggest fears and i want to try my best to keep that from happening. if it ever does happen, i would bawl out cry and have a full on panic attack, thinking about how fucked my life is and what did i do to end up here...forever. and before you ask, im in school for computer programming

“Pizza party”😂 yeah it cracks me up with they say that as if it’s some kind of awesome perk for hard work🤦♀️
Meat lovers
I’m 25 , been at a warehouse for 5 years. Luckily I got a loader bid, I make $31 an hour, work about 45hour weeks, 2 days off. I don’t stack or bend over, just scoop them up with a fork and put them in the trailer. I take like 3 30min breaks and my lunch every shift, management doesn’t bother me.
So not every warehouse job situation sucks, however I got lucky, most people had to pick orders for 10-15+ years
Also, I hit the gym everyday before the work and can still run my errands. On top of that once you get FMLA you pick your days off, great union too so company can’t fuck with you. No kids makes my situation a lot better too, I don’t have that ‘I’m stuck here’ feeling. However, when I was picking I was miserable lmao
ur a loser, warehouse worker... hahahah
Facts if you load and receive more than pick and make $35 an hour and have FMLA it’s tolerable. People be letting the job get to them when it doesn’t have to be like that at all
@@Duh_wettest95 Yeah like you said, it’s ‘tolerable’ but still not ideal. However, it’s far from being the worse, it’s a great avenue to take, and can pay the bills/help you start a good life. We recently got approved for $40 an hour on our new contract but I’m almost done with my degree, hoping to land an accounting job and move into management eventually.
@@helloimclaudio yeah well you got a way out then. But yes very far from ideal but like you said when the next union contract negotiations come up then there will be a pay increase. Not the worst gig at all
Warehouse and production jobs suck. They have the worst soul sucking work environments that always seem to attract a-holes. I’ve worked with so many cocky young a-hole coworkers. And then, if you’re a shift worker, there’s the mandatory overtime they spring on you during your shift because someone from the next shift called out. Screw that! I have a life outside of work. Once I work the hours I’m scheduled for, I’m out. I don’t care if I’m getting good money. Good money doesn’t mean anything if I don’t have time to spend it. I would never work that kind of bs job again.

But I personally love manual labor. I hate helping customers. I like being by myself and being away from people. It's not all bad I promise.
Warehouse work is not a career lol
@@imiaze5546 Who are you to say it’s not career work? I work in fridge/freezer storage, I personally enjoy working where I work. I’ve been in warehousing for about 3-4 years and I still enjoy it. It’s the best job I’ve ever had. Making bank enjoying what I do, but I also don’t have a dream of a career. I use a job as “this is what makes me money to do what I want” if I can make 60-70k a year doing so where I live at happily I’m very content staying where I’m at. I’m not going to say it’s for everyone, because it’s not, but I go in there do what I gotta do then get out. I work 5-6 days a week but if I got plans or want off I can.
The rewards they give are kinda childish but at least they are giving you something for working lol. Everyone is chill where I work at, we all know we have a job to do do it we cut up sometimes but our job doesn’t care what you do as long as you hit your production for the week. It’s mandatory you get cross trained in everything so you never know what you are doing when you come in so it’s not super repetitive. I don’t know man I like it.
I just started my first warehouse job, any advice? It's a small staff, maybe around 10-12 people, right now I'm loading pallets and wrapping them.
I like warehouse work too because I'm away from people too.

I really need to get in more shape, facts. But imagine physical labor then hitting up the gym later 😭. Yes, some things are dude things to me. This is why they have more muscle mass. Im not weak but id be lying if I said sh dont hurt. Bc it does. I guess im just used to it. So sometimes if ppl were to say my part is easy... its like yeah, if u think lifting big machinery around on a belt for cleaning & production & then entering data, or inventory is then sure thing 👍. Bc doing that sh back to back... all i can say is im glad im just working "8" hrs... Id say idk how I haven't lost weight but im not trying to cook after work either... but I do, do stretches all throughout my work days. Hoping I won't strain sh. I've never been a popper either. Always popping sh

Due to being grown I was sort of forced to do warehouse work again. However I'm a certified security officer so going from doing Something I love and trained to do vs a low lazy paying job made me appreciate my trade more. Because I realise that warehouse work is just a job like mcdonald's or better yet worse. Forklifters mostly push pallets and zoom around doing little work that everybody else is busting sweat for. If you can do better get a trade or degree and leave the warehouses. I worked in these environments 6 times and it's not worth it unless you are a supervisor or truck driver unloading packages.
Facts
That's why I did security as I got older. Been doing it for some years now. If you're still in the warehouse, get a forklift certification.

I saw a flyer outside for a warehouse job & it paid $16 an hour. I worked on wknds & after 2 1/2 wknds i quit. I was on my feet for 10-12 hours & only got a 45 min break if i worked 10 hours & an extra 15 min break if i did 12 hours. I quit right at my lunch break. Its just not worth it to me. If you need to make a few hundred dollars to pay a bill or whatnot then do ur thing & bounce but as a career? HELL TO THE NAW!!
In my country u work for 15$ a day :)
And they know it too. They know what you’re doing. Now at least if I go to another warehouse job I don’t have to put on a front like it’s going to be my career like I did the other times I went.
Spot on. His talking about Amazon im sure. Same pay, break times, and repetitive work-style
Some of these warehouses penalized hard working people and turning a blind eye to those who don't put in a lot of effort. .
I had almost 2 years in warehousing/manufacturing, which is unheard of bc most people don’t last a day to a month. You’re 💯 correct.
I work at Coca Cola and I hate it I’ve been here for 2 weeks and I fucking hate it. I’m 29 and and sometimes I feel like a failure because I cant keep a job anymore but honestly I’m just tired of hard labor I’ve been doing it for 11 years at different jobs and I’ve just had enough. I got dreams and ambitions and every day I’m not working towards it I feel miserable and me needing the money always traps me in situations like this.

I share the sentiment you do, and I have experienced first hand every single situation you described. It is such a toxic environment, with power hungry bullies that treat you like a robot. Older broken down men who have let themselves go. The younger adults that spend every paycheck they get, which leads them to get trapped in the warehouse to pay off their financial mistakes. I'm starting my first day tomorrow at a warehouse because I just need the money immediately. But I'm going to work hard on my days off to find a respectable job in an office
Do you still work at your warehouse?
what days off? after 16hr, 6 day work weeks, all u wanna do is eat and go to sleep. made me start sitting in the mf shower🥲😂
🤣🤣
Wow 16 hours for a shift that’s a long time! I worked at Amazon for just about a year and I quit. They work you to death manual labor, they bark at you if you’re a couple minutes late from break. So that’s what I told my supervisor my brake starts when I get to the break room and ends 15 minutes later when I leave the break room. Walking to and from the break room does not count towards your break. You have to tell your managers how you’re going to do things or else they will walk all over you. I hated it. They just treat you like a machine.
See that’s the kind of jobs I’ve always preferred, sure weekdays I was worked to shit but I still had loads of money compared to if I worked in hospitality or something of that nature
I feel you bro I did that warehouse receiving shit for a bit but I saw a opening as a maintenance assistant in the same company and I got the job and you see how jealous people get when you move up and don’t have to answer to the warehouse managers it’s weird bro warehouse work is where souls go to die💯
Warehouse work for small to mid-sized companies can be alright as you tend to do the whole process rather than just one monotone job (picking in your case). Generally speaking you're also more appreciated by your supervisor and people above them as you're more important to the company's performance and less expendable than you are as an ant in a haystack for the big companies. The wages and hours also tend to be better in my experience.
dude every job is like this. That is why I don't stay in one company and job for maximum of two years. whenever I start a new job I like it because I am learning new thing but once it become routine then it start boring me and I quit. As far as any job is concern people get fed up.
Working more than 8 hours per day especially in a physical job should be outlawed. 16 hours shifts?! That’s unacceptable.
Modern slavery
I worked at a warehouse for 6 months and it was honestly some of the easiest money I ever made. There are different kinds of warehouses. This one had about 8 people in the entire place. A few pickers, a few loaders for the trucks. It was quiet, clean, and I basically had to work HARD for about 30 mins, and then got 30 mins to sometimes 2 HOURS to just hang out and wait for another order. My co-workers were really cool and nice, we joked around during downtime, and management was nice too. There was no "rate" thay had to be met, you had several orders a day to pick. As long as you got it done, you could pretty much come in whenever, and stay til you're finished, which was never later than 4:00 pm.
There was also BIG windows all over so plenty of daylight. That was HUGE.
All depends on the place.
I've worked in a warehouse for about years. Everything you mention in the video is very true. Not only that also they want you in early asf, you get hurt they won't care. I used to have to take the bus to the warehouse job that would be far very tiring I would vent every morning before going it was that stressful.
Dude, I really appreciate your honesty! At 56, out of necessity because of lockdowns, I JUST started working a warehouse - 1st shift was on Friday night. I've NEVER worked so hard in my life, and when I think about it, because it was my first day, they took it easy on me! The order picking wasn't the issue it was loading the trucks near the last 2-3 hours of your shift. The loading dock was inside, but the trucks can only back up so close to the edge of the building where enough of the -25 degree cold air was, and the physical sweating took me from hot to cold - my sweating, combined with the cold made me freeze. I'm not sure how long I'll have to do this for but I CERTAINLY understand how you might DREAD going into work! Thanks!
I use to unload trucks in ohio... that was fun
How’s it going, still there?
@@MWorsa so, part of the reason I took the job was because cv-19 lockdowns did not permit me to work my regular job (of almost 40 years) as a bartender. At the time, I didnt see any end to the lockdowns in sight, so I had no other alternative but to find another source of income. Once the restrictions were lifted about a month later, I went back to my previous bartending job of 26 years where I am now. Thanks for asking!
@@orchestratedincompetence Phew!
The work is bad for you long term. People are pissed off and rude. Still, do not ever think you wasted a life if all you did was this work you're entire life. Be proud if you were moving items people needed. I load food for a Grocery store here in the Detroit area for a trucking company. I am proud I am getting people food. Still, if you can find a better path for yourself, I would recommend that.
I really like your perspective on this!
Im learning more how to work on cars so i dont gotta worry about working in anyone's sweatbox anymore.
That's a good skill to have
This sounds like Amazon LMFAOOOOO
Try an find an Inventory position for Warehouse work. That’s the sweet spot. No Quota’s, No being on a forklift all day, no constant lifting or stacking. I had a Inventory Control processor position in a Warehouse once. And it was great. Easy going, just counting, and some data entry. I was still in the warehouse not in an office. But I wasn’t doing typical warehouse grunt work. Everyone else around me was busting their ass.
This is all real shit bruh. All facts. Another thing they do is they have people battling each other over “numbers” and “who throw the highest”. Then you go home come back and repeat. No raise for “throwing high”. Nothing. Warehouse work is a scam. I recommend people only do it for short term, whatever you consider short term but at the same time your working at the warehouse be working on yourself whether it be your own business or going to school.
Short term: 6 months-1/1.5 years, 2 years max
Fuck the metrics, unless you’re mgt or being monitored by a computer. Going faster, being better only gets you used and walked on. Don't kiss ass. Lazy, unproductive coworkers have it easier, tidier, or whatever. Mgt starts to feel entitled to the benefits you bring, but give no fucks about you as a person. Get sick, injured, or other life events happen, you’ll likely be discarded.
Not saying to be lazy or unproductive. Most warehouses I have been will fire people for that, such as falling asleep. Just be productive in terms only doing what they ask, no more, no less. And hopefully, mgt isn’t overzealous or micromanaging.
'Why impress people you dont like or care for" SOO TRUE
I am highschool student, and only see that with kids bragging "I got a new car, i got a new pair of J's etc, we all know those wanna be rich people
Me on the other hand I wanna start working young and make the $$$ and invest into the stock market, Bottom line is work hard now and retire early!
I don't see retirement in me. I want to keep working. It gives me something to do.
@@LukeKhaing retirement as in option I won’t be retiring I just want the option
Just the option to become a millionaire would be cool
More like why even bother trying to impress fat ass miserable people. Aren’t you supposed to be trying to Impress girls?
working for someone else is volunteering to be exploited by company and government. play stupid games, win stupid prizes low iq tax slaves.
Sadly retirement is no guarantee if the person passes away before that age of retirement you don't collect it. I like the idea of having different streams of side hustles making me income that are not job related. I will be finding some kind of part time job but full time I probably won't do again. The only thing a person misses out on is the health care and benefits by not going full time at some jobs. I guess sacrifices need to be made to reach your goals.
Fuck spot on dude I was going through the same exact thing people there just are so miserable gave up on there lives I was miserable there and I was only there for 5 months! The point that broke me was sitting at lunch like I gotta leave this place and a older worker passed by me and said “what I would do if I had you’re youth I would kill to be as young as you” I was 19 at the time and I walked out when I heard that I need to follow my dreams
You really quit after he told you that?
Damn im a 19 year old girl who works at a warehouse rn and i get lots of looks i dont know the meaning of - perhaps they’re thinking the same thing. Im sad for these older people, and i feel bad im apart of the reason they’re sad. :/
@@STICKY_I’m 19 currently working in a warehouse also working on my dream on the side pls don’t stay in warehouse for ever working on your education and your side hustles
I've been working for the United States Postal Service 2020 and was surprised to find out it was just a warehouse. Even worse, a plant. Coming from an office setting with the government, this was a huge culture shock. Without the overtime, the money is not that great.
Bro I never seen so many depressed people working at Amazon there was literally a guy crying in the bathroom,
The thing I hate is the brakes there especially if you’re working in the back of the warehouse you have to walk literally 3 to 5 minutes just to get to the break room.
and then you gotta wait in line if you brought food just to heat up your food at the microwave because they don’t have enough microwaves like what the fuck man!
I pick about 10 hours a day, roughly 8,000 lbs. It’s a good basic job for young people, people without degrees. You can make 16$ an hour with no training that ain’t bad. But yeah it’s all about production of course. Just don’t pick a shitty warehouse. You get good management at a place with easy work you’re set until you make you’re next move. It’s a great inbetween job.

I’m in this situation right now. I work at a place called Valassis for the past two years and it’s seriously breaking down my drive and spirit. We barley get any days off maybe one day out of the week if that. And for only $13 an hour. Stacking coupon bundles on pallets all night. Plus I work the night shift and that shit has been killing my social life. My supervisor is mean af, always on my back over small shit. I’m really considering quitting soon and just driving for Uber or something cus this shit is torture on my mental health. It feels like prison. Smh.
I worked at a place in NJ that basically did the same thing. They would send coupons & other junk mail out all over the country. On some days, they had me doing merging, which is pretty much what you described. That sh!t was tearing my back up, plus it was summertime so that made it even more miserable being in that hot as$ warehouse. They were only paying freakin' $12 an hour for a 12 hour shift SMH.

Wait until management changes
You drive a forklift while high? I’m glad I don’t work at your warehouse
@@jamelfergusson it's super rare or it never happens when management changes and it takes millions or billions for that to happen. The Meta now in 2022 is inflation so the less items in the market the higher the cost and the profit goes to the company ( For non essential products).
“Rather do something that makes me happy.” Yeah that shit works up until you gotta grow a pair, everyone wants money but nobody wants to make sacrifices.

At my old gig we got 2 15 min. Breaks!! On top of that no air conditioning in the warehouse...
I would look up at them in their offices enjoying comfort provided by the central air... the only space that was comfortable for us was the lunch room that we could rarely be in.
Honestly,i'm deeply shocked to hear that you have to be at work every single day for 16Hrs. ...and not having proper breaks...i wonder what the Unions are doing about this serious issue !?Are they looking after the people,or do they just collect the money ,and pretending to work for them...what a joke this is !I live in Australia,and i know how it is in a Warehouse...but hearing your story from the US...it feels like America is going back into the past...! When i was younger,i used to work overtime...but never exceeding 10 Hrs. ...and now,that i'm in my fiftys...i don't even wanna work for 8Hrs....it's just too much for me...because of the physical stress,your body is taking a big blow from that...and nobody's asking how we feel...absolute ridicilous how we live in this world! If you think slavery is over...wake up,it's never gonna be over...it's just modernised...! Sometimes i'm asking myself...what's the meaning of life...being born,and slave away your whole life...!

Glad you made this video thought about working for Chewy in their warehouse. I'm a tow truck driver and I have about the same working downsides. I'm stressed, dreading going in to work, plus my body is just basically broken. Got a busted knuckle, bad shoulder, bad knees, and heart palpitations and anxiety everyday.

Damn bro you nailed it. Everything you mentioned is exactly how it is. I did warehousing for 9 years just up and left. Like mentally couldn't do it, inviosioning yourself to be so much better then that it was just doing my head in. Wish I came across this video 5 years ago. I'm 30 now and still thinking what career path to chose. All I know is I'll never go back there again haha
Damn, i just applied a warehouse job today, and the ONLY reason i applied to be a warehouse worker is because i need to lose weight(i'm not fat, but i need abs.) I was a data analyst making 3 times the amount that this warehouse pays me. But sitting all day is KILLING my back, even my doctor told me i need to move around a lot. So I applied let's call it warehouse A, then i got declined, they told me i'm overqualified. I have never heard of such thing before this! So i went home and modified my resume, i took the college degree off, and make it seems like i'm still in college. I also didn't include my data analyst jobs in, and then i applied warehouse B, and i got hired. I went in for the interview today, and it was shockingly easy. I printed a resume on those fancy resume paper, and they barely looked at it or even talked to me, it's pretty much walk in, drug test, background screen and i was told i was hired on site..... And there i was prepared a whole speech lol cuz my previous jobs in tech have REALLY long and thorough interviews, most requires 3 seperate interview sessions. So this was new to me. Anyway, watching ur video made me realize how lucky i am to have options and can quit anytime when it takes toll on me. But my plan has always been just work there for 3-6 months to lose weight, move more to fix my lower back, relax out my brain and then get back to my normal life. But now i'm not sure i'll be able to fix my back and relax my brain LOL. Well, we'll see.
You still there and did you lose weight. Wanted a update
@@mystummyhurt7187 No hahaha I only worked there for 2 months before I quit. I did lose weight, I recall I lost like 6lbs, but then I gained it all back a few weeks after I quit.
Having to come into work at 1 o’clock or 2 o’clock or even 3 o’clock in the morning because they will always change the start time at ups it was the worst. Your body is supposed to be resting at them times. Then you have to deal with the struggle sleeping during the day
At least you were in a union
Worked at a warehouse for three years, you summed up this perfectly. This is exactly how I felt. It was a good experience though.
Thats why if I know im working in a warehouse which I've been doing since I was 17 and im 21 but I make sure that I go And see what type of work im dealing with because I've been through that experience as well big dawg but shout out to all them warehouse workers that actually busted their asses and to you as well as a fellow warehouse employee
I work the warehouse of a production plant. I pull parts and bring it out to the different cells, i get to meet a bunch of different people and I find it very fulfilling
The fact that your doing RUclips now tho is dope asf🔥 Regular guy going for his dreams instead of submitting 💯📈🎯
Yeai agree
yea spot on bro "their bodies look like shit gave up on their selves lol" all facts bro!
Smaller warehouses are better. Major warehouses for big box stores will suck you dry.
I retired early after 40 plus years.
Drove the crew like pack mules, you could get a pat on the back one day and the next get written up for lack of production even though you busted your hide in heat of summer,,,no time adjustment. Work safe but don't let that productivity slip. Robots is a good way to put it, your nothing but a piece of equipment. Stressful every day takes a toll. You really said it all.
I feel for the guys still in there I knew since I started. And it just keeps getting worse. The turnover is constant, and a lot.
WOW.. I've worked in a warehouse and my current employer for 11 years and it's used to be like that but now is definitely different bc of new management
I got a bad back when I was young from being a great picker. Young and had a pick rate of 500 cartons an hour. One guy worked there ….who left….and went to prison for a year and then got a job again there and I was still doing the same thing. I was jealous that he got a life and experiences. I realised that if I kept at it I would get physical issues that are never compensated for. So I decided dealing was better.

I just quit my warehouse job, it was a furniture/linen/glassware/decor/huge tents warehouse, when I started it was waaaay worse, still not that great but excited for the next move in little more than a week. I used to work until I was dizzy and felt like I was going to have a mental breakdown, a coworker was snappy and miserable and make me feel dumb, I had to deal with sensory processing disorder and autism. One day I had to be in the hot sun putting up a huge tent, one day working 16 hours packing trucks up and dealing with the roof leaking and smelling mold. Now I quit because I was scared for the busy season because of one year I woke up in the morning and completely destroyed my room and punched a hole in the wall and I felt sick for a couple months after that. So before it gets too busy I better not get that far again just in case, I don’t care about the pay. Right now it’s not too bad but I quit and going out in a week so I don’t have to deal with that again.
16 hours is too much,I used to work in the car manufacturing place making parts for GM but no boss ever messed with me,the most hours I worked is 12 hours a day 5 days and sometimes we could volunteer for the weekends
Volunteer why hahaha
Its all a sacrifice and how much you really want to achieve your goal, everyone chooses there path in life. You can honestly decide to go to school and do a job more decent and respect. Or simply just put in the work and smoke a wood.

I don’t mind warehouse work but that shit gets boring and tedious after a while. Doing the same shit for 12 hours a day. It’s like saying your ABC’s when you’re an adult for 12 hours a day. That shit gets boring after a while.
I've also started working in a warehouse. We start a lot of projects with shampoos, products like Ariel for cleaning clothes, Lenor, or products for cleaning dishes! I also have 1 women supervisor, 2 supervisors! Problem is that we have a lot of stations and start projects on any station! We have machines for wrapping products! I work on a machine in flux: Pallets come with this products! We take them out of the box, put again in another box with different stickers and on pallets again! Another issue is that sometimes you start on a different station and then at your station: We have to make boxes in advance and stickers! It is flux work! I get the ideea with supervisors! They stare at us a lot! I also have colleagues that are mumbling and that negative energy can get you! On my station I have to put boxes in 5 rows on pallet! Fortunately the machine wraps the products but on 5th row I have to scotch the boxes before I finish the pallet! A lot of women that are mumbling cause they don't want to scotch the boxes! I can do that but when I do it takes time: When I scotch the last row they come fast from the machine that's why is easy for women to scotch them then me! Another issues: A lot of palletisations for different products and the instructions regarding them are not explicit! For instance: 6 boxes in one part, 4 boxes: 2+2 and again 4 boxes and 6 boxes! I also have simple ones: 5 in a row and 5 on the other: This type of palletisation I have on the wrapping machine! I have pictures with palletisations but they are not clear cause you only see geometrical shapes of the pallets with colours instead of seeing the pallet in the pictures with boxes that you need to add differently and the simple boxes!
One of the truest description of warehouse work ive heard. Ive worked at ups and now work at Amazon. Boy oh boy. Biggest mistakes in my life. But i gotta do what i gotta do for now just to try to get far. But it work on your body and your mental state. Word of advice for people trying to join. Understand that you're accepting a slave job. Use it to get what you need but dont get stuck. Dont get complacent. Its more out.
Honestly I used to work in the warehouse the Parking lot brand-new cars Once you get inside the warehouse Everyone’s mad everyone to depressed like it’s so sad to see people gave up their self there like people in their 30s to 50s telling me go to college I didn’t wanna go to college tbh I don’t Want to be working in a warehouse for four years and doing overtime to pay off college. I work in the warehouse for six months save up my money doing overtime Went to electrician school and I only took me six months to graduate. If you don’t want to work in the warehouse for your rest of your life don’t buy stupid stuff save up your money And just find a good career that you would love to do in the electrician I’m making $110k years every time when I need to work in the warehouse and I just see the people I’ll be like thank God I made it out
You just described my last job to a Tee, just started at a new warehouse, and it has the best attitude of any warehouse I’ve seen. People are real nice and helpful, they’ll stop to talk to you for a minute or two, supervisors won’t say anything unless your one month report isn’t very good, but a bad day happens and they understand that and won’t bs you about an 70/80% day. And the production is real easy I got 108% my first day barely knowing what I was doing at the time. Nice to see smiles when I drive by people, much different. Work still hard but that’s work for ya. Probably because it’s the medical field, they might actually see us as people 😂
You say you worked 16 hours per day 6 days a week. That's 96 hours per week. You also say you got $20 per hour. This means you made $1,920 per week. After six months you made $49,920. Your warehouse job almost pays you six figures. That's why it was tough. How much do you make these days? Minimum wage? Man, I bet you miss that money!!
That $800 a week is a good start, but you have to save it and invest to a skill with less manual labor like I’m using working at a gas station since it pays the same to save up to study for IT
And their pizza parties are like two slices per person
Lol i swear

At my warehouse it was usually chill the whole time mainly because my boss was a real G. He was so down to earth and made it easier to come to the warehouse and work the night shift and we usually had two 30min breaks on an 8hour shift
Definitely spoke facts about warehouse jobs. I regarded signing up for a sooo muchhh warehouse job, I am very hard worker get the work out. Some mangers are cool. Although they would just find extra work once you finish. Also, some mangers have favorites as if they too good to change stations. It definitely feels like slavery, drain just walking into their daily because you know your gonna be overworked. Tried telling ppl about this they just say, it’s a job why you complaining so much. Only people who actually work inside a warehouse will truly experience everything you said. It’s very physically, mentally and emotionally draining. The people are so down to earth and kind there. Also, it takes a strong person to pull away and or reduce. The Lord wants us in a clean state of mind and not overworking ourselves.
Our warehouse is the opposite. I think it's to laid back. They let you take as many breaks as u like. Your check just will be $37.53. 😂
I worked a warehouse before in o.c for a couple weeks I quit because those fools only cared about snorting dope
