[@galaxiedance3135]

I totally agree with you! However, those money hungry bosses who are being pressured to save every penny would quickly take away employees so the fewer remaining are working just as hard again. Horrible! I worked in a factory for making truck springs.... it got so hot in there during summer, sometimes on my overnight shift, a couple people would faint and be taken away with ambulance. I never passed out even though I had by far the hottest machine in the place. 2 times the fire sprinkler system went off because of the heat. They expect you to work. There are "Heat Breaks" but not for people like me who's machine is basically a money printing machine. I heard the owner is in the top 200 richest Americans. That's how he treats his employees! I simply could not act that way. Guess that's why I'd never be so filthy rich. I have a heart.

i've been watching a lot of amazon videos like this. from what i can tell, the job is super oppressive and sterile. possibly stressful, especially if you've got a lot of annoying items to pack, yet still need to meet those goals. imagine having a day where you get nothing but annoying to pack items, and you're stressing out that you could lose your job, just from having an unlucky day. i work in warehousing as well. where i have to create entire pallets of stock. but they don't put these pack rate goals onto you. as they understand each order differs in size. and warehouse upkeep like replenishing stock, and dealing with system location and stock count errors is a thing to take into account. as long as you are seen to be working hard, and you're completing the orders within a reasonable time, you're fine. And they encourage communication and banter between employees to keep up morale. they like to keep everyone happy. especially the good workers. but Amazon seems kinda fucked. i'd probably only be able to last a short time working here. Also thanks for filming this. bet it took a lot of courage to try and not get caught with the camera.

[@maakudesuyo]

It's oppressive hidden underneath smiles. Hard workers are made to work harder. Slow workers are put in places that they don't like so they quit. To survive, be mediocre. As I mention in the video, there was a day i had to pack umbrellas over and over again. I usually don't care about my rate because i work fast and the process assistants know that i work hard. They can't afford to lose me so when they ask me why my rate is low i just tell them "because I had to pack so and so" and they usually adjust my rate somehow. They were pretty shocked when i quit lol. I wish i worked at your warehouse! Good luck and stay safe out there! And yes I'm still scared to this day that Amazon is gonna come after me because of this video lol. Thanks for watching and sharing your story!

[@slimj091]

This reminds me of working at a Lowes distribution back in my 20's. You had a daily, and hourly quota for items, and a quota for weight loaded for non conveyable. Which made it hell when the loaders in the trailers couldn't keep up with their chutes. September and March were always the worst. September all of the bays would get bombarded with all of the christmas stuff for the stores over the span of two weeks. And March was lawn mowers and tile flooring as far as the eye could see. We would lose good people every year during those periods because they "didn't meet their quota" for a few day's straight. I'll never work at a place like that again. Even if the pay is $15 to $20 an hour.

Packing at a fulfillment center is definitely pretty different. They need a better system for restocking boxes and envelopes though especially where I am.

[@maakudesuyo]

I never got to work with envelopes. They seem fun lol

3:04 do amazon pickers deal with those large and heavy boxes? Im considering applying to be a picker but i have lower back problems. So im just trying to do research on amazon pickers and every other position so ill know if picker is right for me or maybe another station. Why did u quit? Ill search your channel to see if u addressed that question in another video.

[@maakudesuyo]

pickers do as well but from my understanding, only a few pickers are assigned to do those types of big boxes. I quit to teach English in Japan!

[@pinkguy3146]

I work at a place where we get quite a few number of applicants/new hires coming from the Amazon fulfillment centre in Mississauga (due to some similarities in the roles), and during interviews or orientation we always hear them talk about how boring and monotonous and shitty it is to work at Amazon. Funny enough I applied at Amazon for a job prior to starting college but decided not to come in for the in person interview. After seeing this now I know they werent lying lmao

[@maakudesuyo]

eventually everyone would have worked at Amazon at some point in their life

[@CURLYV86]

I've been with Amazon for 3yrs now, started out as a packer, packed for about 7months. started problem solving, did that for about 5months. Updated my resume, no longer inside the facility. TOM TEAM FTW

[@maakudesuyo]

very nice! I heard TOM TEAM is really great! Good for you! Good luck and be safe!

[@slimered5422]

Im also a packer on Amazon, but its qay too different. We do not put packet all the time in boxes, we aslo do bags. And we do tape it when the items are to be put in boxes.

[@maakudesuyo]

I've always wanted to try doing bags!

[@SugarBunsHuns]

Those umbrellas in noncon are the worst, especially if you're building boxes in noncon. I actually work in SNA4 in Rialto, and let me tell you, it's some really grueling (soul crushing) work. My facility is very similar to the one you're at (assuming you still work there lol). I pretty much do everything outbound, which includes packing, water spidering, floating, cage pulling, bod, noncon, jackpot, doors, mini arc angles, and sorting. I'm also a learning ambassador, so I teach new hires a lot. People come and go all the time, I can personally understand why.

[@maakudesuyo]

SNA4! Nice. I don't work there anymore. Dang you are the entire outbound department in one lol. And yeah I had to pack like 50+ of those massive umbrellas in one day one time. it's supposed to be SIOC but there no boxes for it lol. So they had to order a very specific box that's just for those umbrellas lol

[@RealArtVandelay]

I love logistic and packaging, it's probably the only position I'd like doing if I ever was to work at Amazon

[@maakudesuyo]

Logistics is kinda interesting tbh

[@onlyactive9710]

I lost my mind working for Amazon I had to do it when Covid started Bc I lost my job was not my thing left for construction and so much happier

[@maakudesuyo]

glad you're at a happier place

[@messerschmitt_bf109]

I'd imagine a more physically involved job like construction is much more enjoyable than the repetitive and mundane experience over there at Amazon

[@frenchie_at_heart7387]

On breaks, is it possible to keep a snack in your pocket so that you can just stay at your station? Instead of wasting minutes walking to the break room?

[@maakudesuyo]

Yes a lot of people do that. Sometimes HR actually hands out candy.

[@Johnnykham_]

No wayyy, I used to work at LGB6 LOL!! I was a learning ambassador and was in icqa but also did picking and packing

[@maakudesuyo]

Nice! I really wanted to do picking but by the time i was about to get trained, i was hired for a different job.

amazon is amazing in almost everything they do. The person keeping boxes stocked. Each little work station. So well done... reduces so much waste. Taking 5s and toyota way to the next level! Logistics and engineers who design these places, 2 thumbs up!

[@rodneyhorsley8601]

Well this just further proves how depressing it is to work for Amazon..."Yeah if you can package 700 in a hour that'll be great".

It's a bit more Disneyland like. "You're doing a great job. But you can go faster! "

[@andrewchoi6270]

Hey, I noticed you dont put dunnage in alot of the 1a7 or other "taping" boxes. Do you think I can get away with that to save time and make rate?

[@maakudesuyo]

1a7 and 1a boxes, basically the small ones, you can usually skip putting dunnage because it will kick out and go to the slammer anyways, especially if the product is very light. On some cases though, when the product looks really fragile, or heavy, I'll put a lot of dunnage. But yeah most of the time for 1a, 1a7 i skip the dunnage. Also, if the item looks like it's a really good fit in the box, like it wouldn't move much, you don't need to put dunnage either. Hope this helps!

[@jonathonmenth3901]

That’s Fedex and UPS. You should see what happens to the boxes you pack when they get to our warehouse. A lot of times large boxes that aren’t packed correctly with enough stuff inside, get crushed under 100’s of lbs of boxes and we end up reboxing everything. Amazon has nice sturdy boxes for smaller items though. I can stack a lot of air conditioning units and lawn mowers on top of the smaller ones lol.
