[@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.

Another ex fulfillment employee (outbound picker traditional sort) here, 2020 (sucked me in with the $1000 hiring bonus) to 2022. I have never felt like a number more than I had working at Amazon, that number, being your pick rate. You don’t feel human. 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.

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 😊

Or if they gave me $10, I would refill the AC and take time from mechanic work to hand deliver them ice cold waters and cold water rags.

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.

My front two wheels on my pallet jack got stuck in the lip and there was no way I was going to push it out of that lip, so I lowered the pallet jack, went to the other side and pulled it in. Since the wheels from the other side went past the lip I pulled it until the got suck again and moved back to the other side and did that until the item was inside the garage.

Try regular Uber/Lyft and Amazon flex in one day . Shit you’ll be exhausted af

Hey great video first time bumping into your content and it's dope question though what camera you was using to follow you around? I know it's not the insta 360 right?

[@xiomari]

great video bro, what camera holder do you use for that nice 3rd person view? it looks dopeeee

[@ssesx3k6]

This is not bad, i used to delivered for Amazon i always get 199 stops doesn’t matter it’s a prime day or not. Since i did it like ~50 packages per hour i ended up have to rescue those lazy people out there after my route. So i ended up delivered more than 250+ stops every day. Also those cat litters are hell

What do you do when you have to take a dump?

[@itsmartha9727]

The 16th was my first day at my DSP & idk how I feel about it lol. We deliver to Brooklyn and it’s nothing like how you do it. We load up like 20 packages/envelopes on a dolly and spend like an hour or two walking up and down the block. I think I’m going to apply to a DSP that delivers in NJ.

[@LaosHouse]

Yeah NYC has limited space. Our building were going to send drivers to brooklyn to help out. Aren't you based in NJ?

That's pretty cool your Load out station is inside. Mine is under a huge awning type thing that's outside. Prime for me was all in the step van. I was doing 160-175 stops, 289 packages with 25-35 OF.

[@sxnniibxnnii2492]

been driving for amazon about a year, prime week and peak are the worst. I've had 4 carts everyday the past week. 200+ stop with TWO yes TWO carts of oversized. Our DSP has a nice bonus running for us though so I can't complain. Stay hydrated my fellow drivers

[@LaosHouse]

DSP with bonuses are always awesome!

[@Matthew-dd6kp]

I got 3 carts 9 bags each 1 cart with 5 bags and the rest overflow and 2 overflow carts. 175 stops 270 locations first 110 stops were all townhouses and apartments. Last 65 stops were million dollar homes with semi long driveways in 100 degree heat (dfl5). Had to floor load my last three bags. Station was also an hour behind

Thanks for the info

[@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.

[@NailujG]

145 stops 200 locations lately, i really lucked out. 20 bags and about 35 ish overflow in a CV. Usually its 180 stops and 250 locations

[@LaosHouse]

yeah. any other week would have been 180-190 stops for me

[@HappyGirl92593]

7:45 Beautiful homes, especially the house @10:18. Glad you survived that hot day, I’m in the Central Valley in California and it’s still so hot, it’s hot and humid in L.A. where my mom lives but she lives closer to the ocean, I’m jealous lol 😒… But I think all of the U.S. is having one big heatwave. It’s dry where I live, not much humidity or none at all. Humidity is the worse during the summer. Stay cool! 😁

[@xRAGEWITHTERRORx]

Haha I just started at Amazon dsp maybe a week before prime, so far I love it. Definitely beats ups by a mile, Atleast the warehouse. I’m loving the 4 days a week 10 hour shifts

[@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
