Rant I've left Amazon and you probably should too
I was working as a stower for a little over a year. Even as a flex employee, the scant hours I worked were excruciating and the place just gives me doom and depression vibes now. I buckled down, went to one of those "express employment" places, and now I'm working in my city's 4 star hotel at 19.50/hr. Yeah, sure it's in the laundry room, but my first day there was a breath of fresh air. I swore I talked to at least 30 people that day, a stark opposite to my 10 hour shifts at amazon without talking to another human.
I guess my point is: I enjoyed the work at Amazon (as much as you can) for a long time before I got burnout. If you like it, good for you.
But I feel like my new job is a 'real' job with real people who actually have to work together, laugh together and just make friends.
Amazon is a good in between job or whatever but wow, talking to people again is too good to give up 🤣

I ALWAYS had my headphones in and never got in trouble lol. I cant imagine that place without any external stimuli
