what are you paying entrepreneur man
Tyler Sanchez
Can I work nights without having to unload an entire truck? If not then I'll stick with my crappy security job
Eli Lewis
My job made me take a hellish overtime shift, hellish because I normally do mornings but this one is 5pm to 1 AM. this is gonna suck.
Jacob Davis
Jesus, hope you fare well through it. Was it a last-second thing?
Logan Wilson
They pulled it on me Friday afternoon, first a mere suggestion and then I was told I had to do at least 8 hours no morning shifts.
Kevin Adams
That's such shit, managements can be so scummy at times.
Nolan White
I work at Amazon and pretty much the only people who stay working there for more than maybe a year are immigrants who don't speak English. It's just a revolving door of white teenagers who are there for a couple months constantly like "this job sucks, maaaann" and then quitting and I have no idea where they go after that. I wish I knew.
Cameron Hall
I've worked shit jobs before, I always hide.
When I was in a warehouse I'd just walk around for hours, or sit in the toilet. It was amazon and huge so no one really knew what was going on.
I made an effort to be extremely unproductive. I used to gamble on my phone. I did get in trouble a few times but I just started crying and they left me alone after a while
John Howard
go work at UPS. im pretty sure they pay the most in most areas, and it will be the same type of work
Dominic Howard
>pretty much the only people who stay working there for more than maybe a year are immigrants who don't speak English
Yeah because all the white males end up dying on the job
Carson Johnson
idunno about UPS but a lot of people who come to Amazon come there from FedEx and say that Amazon is 1000 times better.
I'm doing a cert course on their dime so hopefully I'll just be able to leave this job for something of that nature here in a year or so...

It can be dangerous but you also have your own senses to look out for yourself. I was driving an industrial truck and I found it stressful and dangerous so I just stopped doing it.
The guy who go crushed under one of them doing maintenance didn't HAVE TO do it but these people don't put their foot down and say "that's not safe so I'm not doing it".
Jaxson Williams
i think fedex is generally considered the worst logistics company to work for outside of super small hell holes. Aldi and Toyota warehouses near me start at $20 something an hour if you can drive a fork truck, they also have pretty good benefits and employee discounts
Gabriel Foster
It's all about doing the BARE minimum, and having developed your fobbing off skills.
My skills are legendary, one manager was asking what I was doing wandering around, "Ahh excellent, i was just looking for someone that knows what they're doing, i need XYZ and i cant find it! Can you walk with me til get it?"
They'll tell me how busy they are but it's a bit further down on the left. "Nice one! I wish you were in charge, ths place would run smoothly!", flattery works.
Then I make a mental note to avoid that path when I next go for a walk

>tfw grocery manager making only $11.15 an hour
Been doing this shit for a year now, starting completely in the grocery side of retail right before Covid happened as an ignorant 20 year old was an interesting experience. Funnily enough I used to not mind the job too badly since I could just fuck off in the back or some other place and I had access to everything that came in on top of getting a steady income when everyone became turbo poorfags overnight, but fuck me this management shit is for the birds, should have known better given the industry. Half the time I wonder why I even have this title when the upper guys just do whatever the fuck they want anyways, but this is all a rant for another time. At least it is not Amazon or something though.
>definitely heading to community college/trade school/whatever the second I get my license straightened out, goddamn covid nonsense
I worked with a few people like that last summer, they basically do fuck all for a few weeks then either quit/never show up or just get fired. Maybe for a day or two, a week at most, they do alright. But beyond that its not even worth keeping them. They either snap out of whatever and get their act straight, or they just keep on revolving from shit job to shit job only without a staffing agency to hold their hand. IMO its retarded as hell and does nothing but fuck you over, then again I suppose I am not exactly Einstein myself given the choices I have made so far.
Logan Thompson
I left my government job where every morning I would sign onto Teams turn on my mouse jiggler and play Doom Eternal for 7 hours because I'm a retard

>grocery manager making only $11.15
where do you live, grocery managers managers make between 75-105k in my area
Juan Russell
>I am not exactly Einstein
Einstein spent 20 years trying to shoehorn the theory of general relativity onto the sub-atomic level, and failed
Asher Ortiz
Should have specified, manager of the grocery department, not an assistant/store level one. Couldnt pay me to take that job after the nonsense I have seen.
Jordan Richardson
I work at UPS and we've had a few leave for amazon, but they tend to be new, younger, and lazy as all shit. Ironically enough they leave for amazon because they start you with more hours there, idk how they keep up with it when they can't keep up with shit here though. I think our starting hourly is higher than amazon still
Liam King
amazon's starting pay is $15 and caps at $18.15 after three years
Evan Hall
UPS has a few different contracts and it's confusing as fuck, mine got bumped to 15 about two years ago and I get 75 cent raises once a year with no cap, but I think for new people it's $14 and the raises are smaller until the union grandfathers them in? So maybe the new ones leave because they're impatient for the benefits or something
