What Amazon Prime Day Does to Their Workers

Did you guys get any good deals during Prime Day? How is the week for all my fellow Amazonians?

[@GiantFlamingClasher]

@@icebat4168 So what teachers should just man up and get better paying jobs? Other underpaid essential workers like healthcare, manufacturers, food service should all drop their jobs and bootcamp a 6 week CS program and inflate that market too right? You realize that everyone just dropping their current underpaying jobs for other jobs doesnt solve anything for those who are stuck in their current living condition, future employees who will no doubt feel the brunt and pressure of overworking themselves, and older workers who have no other qualifications apart from their current line of work. You speak as if people are lazy when its been proven by multiple studies that shorter work weeks and higher wages result in higher productivity. Get your mind out of this 20th Century BS way of thinking, regular jobs can longer support happy and meaningful lives. People are not robots, they deserve time off and more money.

I'm one of those costumers who actually choses most of the times to get all my purchases in 1 box unless the delivery days are very far apart and now that I hear from an actual delivery driver that it's much better for them I'm glad to have chosen it many times!!

After the 2021 floods that shut down all the roads here in British Columbia Canada, and instead of turning stuff back, they decided to overstock the shelves 120%, I got hit by three items falling from the shelves, and just about took brake caliber to the back of the head (40 pounds), probably would’ve killed me. Health and safety didn’t give a shit.

[@thumbofgod1282]

Used to work at Amazon as a delivery driver then got promoted up to Lead Dispatch and let me just say that working for Amazon sucks on both ends. As a driver you have to deal with making sure that you do whatever you can to finish your route. If you are falling behind slightly then you will get a call from dispatch asking why. Depending on the route you have also will decide how your day is going to go. If you have an apartment heavy route, meaning only apartments on your route, then your day is close to being ruined. The reason I say this is because Amazon loves to stack their stops sometimes, so even though you have 156 stops for the day you could have a lot more with Amazon grouping stops together, so you could have one stop on one side of the street and the other stop on the other side of the street, with it being 1 complete stop. So what could be 156 stops is actually over that amount. As a Lead Dispatcher, I did everything I could to make sure that I fought for my guys and voiced out a lot of concerns that I had for my drivers, however all Amazon cares about is how packages are getting delivered. Driver sprains ankle oh well how is that drivers route gonna be covered? Now you are forcing drivers whom already killed their own route having to go and take packages off the route that is behind or can’t be finished. You would think as the most profiting business in America that they would do a better job taking care of their workers.

And seeing you in the CDV van just reminds me how much I hate those vans. Also able to drive with the bulkhead and the door open, youre lucky, we cant.

I wish Amazon drivers would understand it is not our fault they are treated this way. My wife and I go out of our way to leave things for you all to eat and drink we tip whenever we see you all. Recently our packages are always destroyed, thrown into the pasture where the horses either play with it or just smash it. I came to youtube to see if there was something to explain the recent decrease in delivery quality. I hope Amazon realizes how hard many of their drivers like you work. Thank you for your time and effort putting this video together, I hope they recognize you.

[@Sky0fLov3]

First off thanks for your hard work! Also as a long time prime customer, I always pick less trips with fewer boxes but Amazon still delivers everything in separate boxes!

First off thank you for all your hard work that you put in in Prime Day and also in regular days as well. It is a physically challenging job for sure. On the flip side of the coin, for a lot of consumer goods companies, Amazon Prime Day is an important date in the calendar especially in Western Geographies where Amazon sales are significant revenue drivers. Prime day competes with other important dates such as black friday week, back to school period and christmas holidays. Please do not underestimate the amount of work and amount of crazy planning, investing, monitoring and analyzing (the results) being put to plan for the sales of these products that you are delivering. All the best 😊

Pretty sure a lot of the stuff I delivered got stolen after I took off. Rescues.... HATED doing those. Most of the people I had to rescue didn't even need help. I had to drive a half an hour to find the other driver, and another 20 minutes to scan in packages. They made our days long for NO reason.

Prime day is rough...but the holiday season is a circle of hell. Our branch split half the drivers to work a 12pm-9pm shift for 10 weeks solid in dead winter in the hilliest area of the state. 20-30 degree weather at night and getting paid less because they gave us less packeges and forced us into part time so no gaurenteed pay hours. Not to mention that when I sprained my ankle, I was put on soft suspension so they could avoid paying me for 2 weeks while I was injured because their van step stool failed out on me. No sueing option since my manager would have to aprove it and he basically kept saying since it wasnt on camera it didnt count. Not to mention customers treat drivers like unironic slaves, yelling and screaming at us, making us wait while they call our managers, or blocking us in with cars and just seemingly trying to crash the vans on the highway with break checks and weaving. I quit without warning on week 2 of the night-shift changes. The company, the customers, the long hours low pay, it's not human.

[@HighFive212]

As a UPS preloader, I would love for them to adopt the tote system. The back of the truck gets so cluttered/full it's hard to keep packages organized for the drivers. We also had more people call in sick during prime week than usual. No repercussions though, thanks union. (I do generally side with the union though on most things)

[@dadistos4538]

I did preloading for a bit then swapped to unloading the semis instead, i liked a bit better, was more straightforward, but I had to get out of the warehouses, they were killin me lol

[@HighFive212]

@@dadistos4538 I switched to unloading, too. Way better than preload. I still get stressed just looking down the pens. Yuck. No gracias.

Love your attitude. Thank you to all the Amazon Drivers....This was my first look into a day in the life, especially on prime day week (which btw, this year sucked, didnt buy shit)

[@TBoettch21]

As someone who has to stow and stage these orders when i say I’m exhausted from these 12hr shifts is an understatement 😭

[@maryzambrana7141]

I live near an Amazon facility, and I always yield to the delivery drivers at the roundabout so that they can get on their way. Good people with attitudes to match. Thanks for your work. Stay safe out there, everywhere you go. 😊

[@ilovemonkeyos]

I’m certainly in the 1%, then. I always opt for the “when it gets here, it gets here” shipping option (which is typically the ‘free shipping’ option coincidentally), and never buy on or around Prime Day to not add crap to you drivers’ already-busy routes. Huge props to you drivers (and the warehouse/picker workers); it’s not a job type I could do anymore.

Love it when you deliver and people swear they’re dogs are friendly but will start growling at you as you approach and even lunge at you wanting to bite 10:48

[@shawnb2204]

I literally had to take a day off because all my stops are businesses having to wait for them to open the door and then get the info typed in and wait for a signature and then the residential packages all asked for a 6 digit passcode so I had to wait and call customers all day. I was over it and almost just quit cause 350 packages is BS with 55 overflow

This seemed like my normal days! I was getting 18-22 bags with 40-65 OF and this was back in May! I'm glad my DSP owners decided not to renew their contract tbh.

yeah they'll just throw you in there for prime week

[@twostraightdads526]

I feel your pain. My van was floor to ceiling packed, I couldn't even walk thru the bulkhead door for the first hour of my route

I had worked at Amazon during Peak season (Thanksgiving-New Year) and it can be very hectic. But once you and your team get the hang of it, it gets easier like clockwork

I’m a Amazon delivery and this is my first week I’m doing nursery route but it’s like 105-110 stops cus of prime week smh. 8 used to work at warehouse yessss they have it wayyy worse m. Don’t work at warehouse if you can do delivery we get paid more then warehouse anyway😂

I enjoy delivery more but working in the warehouse has a lot of perks

I used to work for a dsp right before covid hit and I gotta say it was the worst job I've ever had. Kudos to everyone who still does this tho, this job is not easy..

What can I do to make your job easier as an buyer?

[@Derf-sr4px]

Thank you for providing an insight from the drivers perspective, As a Wearhouse associate this time is definitely one of the harder times as we are Required to work 60h work weeks 10h/6d. Thank you very very much for your look from the drivers perspective.

[@justoblivious7450]

Gosh as a FedEx delivery driver your co worker talking about the 40pound package made me laugh because that’s nothing compared to the normal 40-150 pounds, I just delivered seven packages that were 60 pounds each. It was one of those couches that you can put together. I had to bring it to the second floor of an apartment building.

[@Bubblebunzz]

Yeah I just did my first prime week it was rough. Also if your van gets packed put the totes sideways with the opening facing you it saves time and room!

[@Straw_Hat_Gamer]

I'm picking at work rn, my Amazon Prime week went well. I picked a hell of a lot of items, my arm was hella sore on the last day. I voice an opinion a couple weeks ago about the fans being missing and cheap on the stations. Today I came in and they installed a bunch of small industrial fans on each station and they work very well I'm so happy about it. Today they also gave out sodas and hotdogs. It's been a good experience for me so far. Had MET as well. The 11 hours and 50 minute days was cool but the 5th extra day was rough. Overall I had no complaints. I got paid good! :)

[@kc7978]

[@syncyt_0]

Hey i wanna see how you would deliver to a business because all my packages are shipped to a courier so if you’re delivering to a business is it any different from a normal house?? The experience? Am curious

[@AndroidAntill]

Yes. The business always needs to sign for the packages and we have to be at a certain location to deliver especially if the business is fenced in. Sometimes the business is closed or people aren't there, I just skip it to undeliverable. Especially on weekends. We don't have time to sit around and wait for businesses to get us in. I had to wait 20 minutes one time which slowed my rate down big time. Never making that mistake again. If their receptionist is busy or no one is there, I just skip it and take the packages back to the warehouse and continue on my route so I can make it back to base on time.
