Any tips that I may have missed? Let me know! 👇

[@Spacedog_42]

Back support brace is extremely useful. Some warehouses supply them and some don’t. It saves your back when lifting heavy items and makes living even heavier items a breeze.

[@HumanEncoded]

@@Spacedog_42 Agreed 👍 I have a couple myself for the heavy lifting 💪

[@crazy-iq-genius3840]

Another tip would be to have goals when doing a task because if you don’t it will get repetitive real fast

[@HumanEncoded]

@@crazy-iq-genius3840 True... that does help the time go by a little quicker. 👍🏽

[@mateuszjasinski3702]

a friend of mine who works at a warehouse told me that he doesn’t think of his job as work and more as a daily workout.

I like tht mindset def will have to apply this mentality for my 6 hr shift 😅

[@user-ve8qf7ot1g]

This is what I exactly do. I even light exercises

[@SolarReturn1966]

Amen to pacing yourself. I worked in a warehouse that was heavy on getting these impossible numbers and the more you strived to get those numbers, the more they kept raising the bar! It got to the point where I finally realized that I was giving 150+% and they kept wanting, or should I say, DEMANDING I keep meeting those new numbers to the extent that I couldn't consistently do those numbers everyday that they then started threatening me with write ups and points if I couldn't or didn't make those numbers from the day before. I started getting written up for "job performance" or "quantity" or "quality" issues. So needlessly to say, I got severe job burnout from them demanding that I work like a Hebrew slave. Mentally, physically and spiritually exhausted to the point I just couldn't do it no more. They kept squeezing blood out of a turnip and once the blood was no longer, they continued to squeeze and squeeze to no end in sight. So ever since then, I made a vow to myself I'm going to give 100% like I always do but I will never cast pearls to swine again. They don't appreciate it. Matter of fact, I means nothing to them. All they care about are the numbers. I understand there is a quota to meet but when others are just standing around not doing anything, they will make you take up their slack and work you to death if you let them. Moral of the story: You do the best you can do and if that isn't good enough for them, then you really don't want to work for those kind of people anyway... If everybody would just pull their own weight, it would make everyone's job ALOT more enjoyable!

[@YumegakaMurakumo]

Great. I'm really not looking forward to my first day which is Sunday. They can go ahead a write me up all they want. They're getting 60% from me on the 1st day up until I finally leave.

[@sycophanty-8119]

Some people just have certain mindset that gets them through everyday. You can never give up

[@asyoumovethroughtheworld]

I have been working my very first ever warehouse job for almost one year now, and every single word of advice you have said I agree with 100%. I bought myself a brand new box cutter and gloves and it has already paid off for me. I wear comfy shoes everyday with inserts ( Personally I prefer New Balance ). LOVE how you said " DONT wear yourself out, or your body" That is #1. My warehouse job constantly puts people in other areas that do tons of work, so just do what you can and work at an ok pace but don't ever go too fast and physically and mentally drain yourself.

[@HumanEncoded]

Glad to hear you got value from this video. It's great that you not overworking yourself out & keeping some New Balance on your feet. Lol Hope you're able to last long enough to get everything you want from your warehouse job. 🙂👍🏽

[@hansonnguyen6498]

Hey Ally! is New Balance the shoes you're talking about?

[@BB23573]

The supervisor I work with tells me to pick up the pace. I’m about accuracy! I know the speed will come. I do find it annoying when I walk that supervisor for feedback and all he says “ you are doing good but just gotta pick up the pace.” How should I take that? Is it rude, helpful or motivation?

[@jmy871]

If you work in a warehouse and you make lots of mistakes you can get fired easily :( because the company loses money

[@mavmac99]

Gloves are a must. Something about cardboard will pull the oils from your skin and dry your hands out and it’s easy to get paper cuts.

[@HumanEncoded]

Agreed. It's something about cardboard touching my hands that I don't like the feeling of which is why gloves are a must.

how do warehouse workers have time to talk enough to date?

[@cryptojonny6837]

In a environment where you deal with groups of workers it can stress a person out cause. The workers could be annoying it causes problems sometimes if your working full time its hard to avoid it. Remote work is less stress I am trying to find one but cant get hired I do have side hustles going at least its a bonus

[@JLoveYoutube]

@@cryptojonny6837 Right, group work environments can be challenging because you have to deal with so many different personalities and try your best to avoid the drama without isolating yourself. I recently accepted another position similar to the one I lost, that will allow me to pretty much work by myself thru the entire shift. Keep pushing and something better will come your way!!!

The fact that you have worked at a warehouse for years & take to time to write a positive comment means a lot.... Thanks for watching!! 💯

[@Halalherceg]

To add something to number 3: its not that you dont have to be fast, just dont be exhausted. Reason: when you get too tired, even if you push yourself, you got something monoton, and your thinking slows down. Why it is important? Because until you work w 110%, someone else with calm, fresh thinking can make the same job lot faster than you, with minimal effort. Remember: in logistics you also have to work with your head. Also if it happens, just try to copy what the other guy/girl doing, and look if its fit for you.

I like your videos because it's more like a nostalgic thing for me 😊 It was the Amazon fulfillment center in Atlanta/ATL6 that I met my husband back in 2016. It was a fun job! I was able to work at auto sort with friends or manual sort. Not to mention that everyone I knew worked there! Definitely one of the best work experiences of my life. I mean yeah there was drama within the work place but I never got involved! I just worked with my friends and enjoyed back then the freedom that the warehouse gave. It was definitely a jovial atmosphere even during peak season! And working with HIM made everything better. I just smile as I remember the early parts of our relationship because it had a lot to do with Amazon ❤ From losing gloves all the time to rushing to clock out when the PA's would yell VTO. To losing my bade on countless occasions! All of that brings me back so many happy memories. 🥰

Anyone watching this, I had feet pain for nearly 10 years working in retail that never got better no matter what shoes or insoles I wore. The first 2 weeks after I received a pair of professional orthotic insoles, the feet pain was gone. Any shoe was comfortable, no more sore/throbbing feet after a long day or tight calves when walking for a few minutes. Work was easy and efficient, it wasn't a chore anymore. The chance you can afford it, which is highly expensive here in Australia for the office I went to but about roughly 40% can be deducted by private health insurance at $900AUD ($820 for assessment, scan, fitting and the insole itself, $80 for the appointment), I HIGHLY recommend going to an Podiatrist and getting custom made Orthotic insoles. It's expensive but it's worth it over the amount of different shoes I wasted money on trying to solve the issue myself.

[@HumanEncoded]

This is great advice! $800 AUD convert to roughly $585 dollars USD which is still pricey for some shoe inserts. I have known people in the past that exactly have feet issues and can not wear just any shoe comfortably.

Gel boot inserts last longer and keep your natural foot arch and buffer against the solid concrete floor. They dont lose shape or fall apart as much. Highly recommend gel inserts. Im a counterbalance and reach FLT driver, soon to be instructor. Also hard work leads to hard work. People who think they're going places by learning everything often end up getting used and abused and burnt out. Be good at one thing you can tolerate and get some level of job satisfaction out of it is what i say. Management place you where you are best as that is part of their job. If you make yourself good at everything, you will end up soing everything. Dont be a yes man but don't be rude.

Tbh. Just go to the post office. Amazon benefits are not that great and the company sucks as a whole and don’t care about their workers. At least they can’t fire you for stupid reasons at the post office bc you’re protected by a union. After a year or two depending on need at your location you can be a regular career employee with actual benefits and higher pay. Raises every year. More paid time off. Shoot there are some people who are hired right into career getting benefits. They hire from within FIRST. If you get in and don’t like your job you can apply for another position and location. And work until they move you. You get a week break in between switching jobs. Trust me. It’s still gonna be hard work but people need to tech those younger than them about working smarter not harder. Work for a place that actually gives you something in return. Not just a job.

I've been a mail handler for usps for 17yrs and ALL of these are FACTS! I remember I made the mistake early on of wearing regular shoes to work...they didn't last long. They got tore up really fast. Not to mention, I could really feel the difference wearing the proper shoes. They feel much more comfortable and protected my feet and ankles a lot better on the work floor. I never thought of using shoe inserts though. I'm definitely going to try those!

[@HumanEncoded]

Thanks for watching & giving validity to what I said about having good shoes Danielle! You are a vet at USPS I see. Hope you are able to get that big payout once you retire. 💰🙂👍🏽

[@inhabitantofearth]

@@HumanEncoded My goal is financial freedom now so I can retire early because I don't want to be there another 20yrs. I want to enjoy my life NOW, you know? 😅 Like you said, it's hard to have a life when you work at places like that. Family just don't understand how exhausting (in EVERY way) it makes you.

[@HumanEncoded]

@@inhabitantofearth Financial freedom is my goal as well so we definitely on the same page with that! People won't fully understand the struggle (even family) but as long as we continue to work towards those goals & can see the light at the end of the tunnel we have keep going until we get there. 🌈💰🤑 #FinancialFreedom

Great to hear this video helped you ease your nerves. lol How did it go for you Charlie?

[@Charliehas]

@@HumanEncodedIt went decently but of course i didn’t follow your footwear tip as i didn’t think it’ll make much difference so I used some cheap steal caps. I was in so much pain and well after a bit I started slacking which ended up costs me a contract at that place. Anyhow I’m now working in a automotive manufacturer using different machines to create all types of components and it’s going nicely so far as I brought some quality footwear and well I feel more confident on my job now so thank you for sharing these tips.

[@HumanEncoded]

It should just take some days to get the results. If you don't hear from them within a week I would call to check the status. Not sure when you will start working b/c it varies depending on location.

[@toracedunlap8020]

COOL G RAPP, that's why I'm in the bed right now and that is exact what they do, they keep switching me for different areas and working with different people but I don't get promote and that's the problem I do great work and I'm not reaching any goals that's while I'm there.

[@HumanEncoded]

If you know the positions you want to work make sure to let them know. It seem like they put me in position that most ppl wanted once they found out I had another job & me letting them know what I didn't like doing. But most of all don't over work yourself.

Shoes: Hoka One One Bondi series ( I think they are on the Bondi 7 now) in black. These are like walking on clouds. Yes, they are expensive, around $150, but well worth it. Also, socks.

I prefer leather gloves..Either way Rubber or leather constantly picking up cardboard boxes will dry out your hands. Switch to a good pair of 8" boots. Good ankle support. Also if the sole is wore out and you are still wearing it you have worn it to long. Also Don't get hurt. Be smart about lifting.

Sh!t, i'd rather be unemployed than work at another warehouse. This pandemic has made me reflect on whats more important in my life & busting my azz for $12 an hour damn sure aint it. If that makes me lazy then so be it.

[@Emperor.Penguin.]

I absolutely agree, but its so hard cause warehouse job and agencies have taken over all the job finding apps and websites.

Well said... The challenge is to find something you don't mine doing that's going to pay what you desire. 🤞🏽

[@stephaniewyche7812]

$12 oh he'll nawl.. i make a hint over 20

[@Ktwice221]

It’s not lazy it’s knowing your worth. Warehouse jobs need to start at least 20 an hour for the hours they work you and how much on your body it is. I don’t disagree bc I looked for months for a job that wasn’t minimum wage. Found the post office. Got in thru the warehouse. I’ll work the holiday season then move on to a different position that pays more and it’s not the warehouse. They pay us so much less than the others as an MHA (warehouse) it’s crazy the work we do. BUT during the holiday season the overtime makes it worth it. Only way I’m making it thru is knowing that it’s temporary and everything else is nice it’s quiet there and they don’t micromanage at my location. Just my body feels horrid at the end of the day. That check with be worth it tho! Better than minimum wage. Next position I’ll be making more doing less.

[@whooelse9444]

@Sincerely Respectfully that's why a lot of these warehouses need to give up that next day delivery bs because they're working their employees too hard to fulfill it.

A little thing like comfortable shoes goes a long way. You cant think and do your job with ease if you're constantly thinking about how bad your feet hurt You are absolutely right about managers anyplace that learn you are a fast worker. They are going to exploit you for more labor at the same pay essentially so don't overstep your means bc there is really no reward one the other end other than possibly getting injured then you won't be able to work at all
