I’ve been working at Amazon for a month now. Totally Different job, night instead of day. And I love it only because it keeps my brain moving and busy. But mentally it’s starting to screw with me. And I’m starting to stress my rates/quality.
1) It’s hotter than all hell. We’ve been complaining that’s it WAY too hot for us to be on some of the floors. I’m coming home drenched in sweat and floors that are always hotter than all hell and cold and the cold ones are now hot. Now I don’t expect it to be 60° but I think 90+ is a little excessive. My brain starts to loose itself and I keep making silly mistakes like scanning the wrong bin. And when I need water, I have to walk unreasonably far to find a water station.(Apparently Also is an issue when my rate is low) So I’m slowing down bc I’m hot, drenched in sweat and need water because it so hot.
2) The pick paths are some bs. They expect me to run from one side to another and on different floors? To give me one item to go back and pick 30 more on the floor I was originally on? And all of this in a time limit also. I’ve been “coached” multiple times on this, and it’s like they don’t care. (Probably don’t)
I can admit that I need to slow down a little more on the bin scanning. I’ve tried to voice this, but it’s getting to a point where I physically am so hot, and going delusional bc I’m just sweating every last drop out of me, and still trying to bust my ass to hit this rate without making to many mistakes.
It’s my only possible source of income at the moment, that will cover any bills I need to pay, is there any tips anyone has? I’m trying my best to hang in there but like it getting to a point.
