SURVIVE Working Any Warehouse (No BS) TIPS

[@HumanEncoded]

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

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

I’m struggling bro mentally and physically. Any help you can give me? Can I message you?

[@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.

[@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!!!

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. 🙂👍🏽

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?

I work as a temp at a warehouse. It’s not my first rodeo at a warehouse. I used to bust my ass but found out the hard way it wasn’t worth it. These companies don’t give a flying fuck about you. Now I take it easy and go to the restroom to take breaks in between my usual breaks. I literally don’t care about working. I do the bare minimum and at least I’m not feel as drained afterward. One of my last jobs the manager and assistant manager treated you like a slave. I used to yell at them, got written up once for yelling at the assistant manager, and just quit one day. I did decide to give them a letter of resignation but didn’t give them a two weeks notice. This one other job I just walked off after I collected my paycheck.

[@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.

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.

Bro, you nailed every tip. The warehouse i work in is so on budget. We drag a heavy pallets with rusted old pallet jacks, we stay overtime, because there isn't enough people and the orders need to be done, so the drivers can deliver at morning. The space is so packed, i can barely pull down a pallet from a high shelf with a pallet stacker and we have no POS, we stil use pen and paper and shopping cards. I have bought gloves, highest class safety shoes, Milwaukee Fastback, box cutter, anti cut gloves, because the boxes cut and work clothes all with my own money. The company provides clothing, but if you ask for it and is the cheapest on the market, so i just said no and bought my own. The only good thing is good pay, no POS, and 8 hour work shift with 2 days off during weekends, other then that is misery, but i somehow stay already 8 months, and i'm the youngest in that place. Most 22 yr stay a day and never come back, but i have goals in life, so i keep pushing.

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.

That pacing stuff was really good advice!!!! I worked at 110% for years and they just treat you like crap and expect more from you and stab you in the back....

[@HumanEncoded]

Hate you had to experience that but glad you now know the best way to work in those environments. They can take advantage of your willingness to want to work hard but in the long run you are wearing down your body. 🥵

Great video I work for plenty of warehouses he's giving GREAT ADVICE warehouses are logistics and it's based on our production lookout for yourself because they won't.

Thanks for confirming this and getting value from this video. You HAVE TO lookout for your well being at the end of the day. 💯

[@Da5thSith]

Sketchers are the best shoes to wear in a warehouse on those hard concrete floors. Plus they design their shoes every year to fit for workers in many different careers outdoor & indoor.

[@HumanEncoded]

I totally agree! I've been rocking sketchers for years now & love how much comfort it gives my feet. Like walking on air! lol 😁 Get Your Own Pair Here! (Amazon).... 👟👇 amzn.to/3O23bqL

[@MariaEspinal-pg4pn]

I'm getting Sketchers next year, this year I got another brand and they feel hard on my feet.

[@HumanEncoded]

@@MariaEspinal-pg4pn Yea Sketchers are great when it come to comfort while working warehouse type jobs. Having a good shoe it key! 🔑 Thanks for sharing Maria! :)

[@fatboyyjr9800]

Awesom video man,definitely gonna try these tips . just started at a warehouse and went 110 percent to show them I really appreciated them hiring me but I think I should just pace my self because at the end of the day I'm exhausted and my feet are killing me , boots and a paper cutter are definitely on the way 💪

[@HumanEncoded]

Glad you got value by watching this video! Yea going 110% will put a lot of strain & possible injury to your body. As long as you do you job, purchase those items you spoke of, & remember to work smarter not harder, you should come out ok. 💪💯

[@ForTheSakeOfTheSongs]

I agree, but as temp workers it's not always possible to limit pace, there often is some abuse (whenever possible do it)

[@HumanEncoded]

I see what you saying.... I worked as a temp once & I said never again b/c they let me go weeks before Christmas. 😬 & I was working my butt off too! 😅

[@ForTheSakeOfTheSongs]

@HumanEncoded and they take several temp agencies so they can negociate the best prices. This is additional pressure the agencies are now in competition too they will select only the best to send otherwise they will lose their "market" it's a shame!

[@tmoore2010]

Nutrient dense snacks too. Milk, pb packets, banana, etc

[@HumanEncoded]

Agreed but that milk & bananas would have me gassy lol

[@ThomasWake1]

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

[@Hustwick]

Every point in this video is 100% accurate. Especially pacing yourself and the workplace drama. Just keep your head down, do the work and avoid those that gossip and bitch. I might add that getting a transparent rucksack or bag will speed up searches during shift changeovers.

[@HumanEncoded]

Good idea on the clear bag. Thanks for watching & sharing your knowledge. 💪💯

[@whooelse9444]

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.

[@HumanEncoded]

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.

[@kevindaniel2122]

I work at Amazon and bring home so many of those safety box cutters, I have tons of them. I can’t believe they sell for 10$ I think I found a side hustle 😂

Any job that has automatic conveyors for freight to move down is a blessing. I would unload double trucks with 0 complaints I left Target b/c the hours were just not a living wage at all, I was only a truck slave to them. Had to unload all the trucks pushing shit down at the same time b/c others were too lazy and just stood in their spot. I rather wear boots b/c your shoes will get beat up overtime very easily.

[@SteveDave211]

I no longer do warehouse work but I did for years and this video brings back nostalgic memories lol My biggest issue with warehouse work is the low pay and little room for improvement/growth. Back around 2017 I was making $10 an hour

[@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.

[@itsrelativ3967]

I don't like the shoes from Zappos with the steel toes because it puts too much pressure on your feet.

[@HumanEncoded]

I never had to purchase steel toe shoes at Amazon & FedEx but I can see how some could be uncomfortable with the lack of cushion around your toe area. Try shoes like like this... amzn.to/3ItOuHq A lot of ppl seem to like them.👟

[@JFPriest]

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.
