You might want to consider transferring into the “Stow” department. I’ve done both I was a picker for 3 months and I’ve now done stowing. Stowing is sooo much easier physically and you won’t have that lower back pain, due to the fact that you are putting items wherever you want to that there is an open space..and I always prioritize the upper parts of the pod so that I don’t have to bend low. It is seriously a night and day difference, ask hr about it because I think after 30 days you are good to transfer. After doing stow I feel like I’ll never want to pick again. It’s simply taking items that are already brought to you, scanning the item once, then putting it wherever you want that there’s an open space and somehow they know where you put it. Like you don’t have to scan where you placed the item!!

It definitely gave me a lot of back issues but I feel that has been basically remedied by going to a massage therapist. You'll want to make sure you don't get too lazy with the posture while you're working, it's easy to get tired and start bending the back too much instead of bending at the knees, especially the taller you are. If you're going to stay there maybe go ahead and get a massage therapist lined up on a regular basis just to keep the inflammation from building up from the extra muscle strain you'll be getting.

Definitely report the back pain. I was a picker too, lifted something that wasn't even that heavy but ended up causing a bulge and disc problems. It doesn't feel bad at first. But it just stays, lingers than gets worse.

[@BrOwNiE0307]

I worked for Amazon as a delivery driver since the beginning of Covid and recently decided I needed to do something different. It’s not bad exactly , but definitely a form of slavery. As an experienced driver I believe that the their drivers need more pay. They work you with 226 stops/260 packages per day and eventually lemme tell you it takes a toll; Especially if you are a social person. It’s an easy job but , not fun being an Amazon slave and not getting the pay you deserve.

Lmfao bruh try food service. 800+ cases a day

[@AUniqueHandleName444]

I'm not sure "slavery" is the right word, but they definitely try to squeeze every penny out of you, and pay as little as they can get away with.

[@BrOwNiE0307]

@@can1beatme I’ve never worked for food service. Would that be door dash ? Tbh with y’all when I applied for Amazon I was offered a few bucks extra for being an experienced driver; but they started my pay rate at the entry level position. Hate being a piece of shit but when I left that place I took a tv with me. I got robbed they got robbed. Peace

@@BrOwNiE0307 No, actual food service. Like Mclane, Gordon Food, US Foods, Sysco. Delivering and having 10+ stops a day. 800+ cases.

Andrew has always been in love with real life, and I love his roundabout odd way of experiencing it. Much Love!

[@phoenixvilla2433]

I really enjoy this. These our conversations people share with close ones. Helpful to know that most people’s life isn’t making millions of dollars at a young age. Just like friends, it makes me root for Andrew more knowing he is self-aware and is still working on what he likes

[@flodask8ing21]

I worked as a picker and stower for a months it wasn't bad at all and paid amazingly over the holidays with overtime. Best of luck to you Andrew

for lower back pain hang on a chinup bar. Then sell the chinup bar.

[@Goober89]

I worked as a car detailer for a while and had to be hunched over vacuuming Sedans for 10 hours a day. It got to the point where my back would completely give out after a few years if I had to keep doing it. Dropped that job luckily.

[@TheGhostlyh]

Have you considered twitch streaming? I’m sure you could get some good viewership on some irl just chatting streams. Just a thought to help keep your Internet career afloat. Been watching your videos for years, love your content!!

[@mysteryfacebookgirl]

He said on his live that he's a bit more introverted, and that he feels drained after going live, so I don't think he would be interested in being a streamer :(

[@yukono8208]

Respect for trying it out. I think it's worth it for everyone to work a terrible job just so you learn to value money more. I remember working 10 hours shifts at Walmart and coming home with less than $80 for the day. I have a well paying job now, but that job gave me so much perspective.

[@aussiemma8426]

You just need to condition your back. I’ve been a Tiler for many years and when I come back after Christmas break you kind of have to go through the pain to strengthen those specific muscles

[@jackshone7970]

Just talk to us like this, I could listen to it all day man.

[@asb2608]

i found with warehouse work what helped stretch my back the most was just doing a squat and holding it for about a minute or as long as you need. i did this pretty much before and after every shift. found it helped me a lot.

[@Davetheone]

I've legit been watching your videos for 10 years or so now.. I always come back

This genuinely pisses me off that you don’t make enough off KZbin to not have to work a 9-5 too. Quite sad to see, as youve made some absolute bangers and quality series in your time. Hope everything is okay bro

[@woollyclouds2677]

He seems to make enough to get by it's just the debt he racket up a few years back that's needing paid off

[@KaneK1234]

It’s not that KZbin doesn’t pay him enough. Of course it would. Sadly, this awesome man who makes us laugh spent a lot of money on holidays, partying and stuff he didn’t need and he didn’t invest. He has alot of debt.

[@yukono8208]

He made a lot but spent himself into debt. Working 12 hour shifts at Amazon will certainly teach you to respect money more, though. Especially when a single youtube video can bring in weeks worth of equivalent pay.

[@paradigmshift2223]

He's made plenty he just sucks with money. Watch some of his previous videos where he talks about it.

[@chrissmith8469]

Dude was making 20k month at his peak he didn’t manage money good

YOU'RE JUST SORE BRO. I work at an Amazon fullfilment center in Bessemer, Alabama. I work on the dock and in non con. Hang in there buddy you'll be aight. It's one of the better jobs you'll find where you make that kind of money with insurance and all the other benefits on the 1st day of work.

[@esellers47]

You should lift with your legs not your back. I highly recommend buying some Chirp wheels to use on your back daily. Also just pop in a blu ray.

[@aharonwsmith]

make sure to let your supervisor know of any aches and pains you are having. They can check it out and make sure you stay healthy. When I worked at presto, my wrists started hurting. They gave me some stretching exercises and had me ice it and it made a world of difference. As I got more used to the job and my body adjusted, the pain went away.

[@anthonyponzini1336]

Andrew just literally jump from job to job and do reviews of them, almost like a mike Rowe of youtube. I think alot of people would watch. Then when employers catch on to like who you are you'll have to switch haha.
