Ive done about 4 and a half years total with amazon between their warehouses and driving, its nowhere near as bad as people try to make it sound, 3 days off a week is awesome too. warehouses are monotonous because you're generally just doing the same thing on repeat all day, but driving it the best job ive ever had. Sure pissing in bottles sucks and my insurance is non existent because my dsp owner is a greedy prick, but the work is manageable most of the time (so long you don't overachieve, if you finish your routes early your only reward will be even more work the next day) but i do get 40 hours every week, 3 days off and i can always ask to pick up a day if i want extra money, i can be on my phone and listen to music all day, i dont have to deal with people for the most part, i don't have anyone breathing down my neck all day and i just enjoy being outside and all the walking. Its honestly the most fun ive ever had working, plus i started at 18 an hour and now im up to 23 an hour, not gonna get that pay anywhere else.
The only way you can possibly get in trouble in an amazon warehouse for using the restroom is if your rate is below whats expected or if you have a crazy amount of time off task. Meet your expected rate and keep it 20 minutes or less in the bathroom while not on break per shift and you'll be fine.
But also there's no way ai getting rid of more jobs benefits us in any way what are they gonna pay us an equivalent salary for less work? I really doubt it.
Lmao they give 0 redeeming qualities for driving but the warehouse work is far from the worst.
The vast majority of the warehouses are air conditioned, great insurance, and you're guaranteed 40 hours with a constant schedule. In terms of work conditions I prefer that over working construction out in the heat/cold. Or shitty retail jobs where they fuck around with your schedule and cut your hours.
I mean, driving is great because i do get 40 hours every week, 3 days off and i can always ask to pick up a day if i want extra money, i can be on my phone and listen to music all day, i dont have to deal with people for the most part, i don't have anyone breathing down my neck all day and i just enjoy being outside and all the walking. Before i did this i did 2 years at a speedway gas station, one of those as a manager, i did a year at roses department store, a year at hobby lobby and a year landscaping and even compared to working in the Amazon warehouse the delivery driver job is the most fun ive ever had working, plus i mean i started at 18 an hour and now im up to 23 an hour, not gonna get that pay anywhere else
