Good fucking shit, man. Find yourself something that's not so soul crushing, if you can.

Nowhere to go but up!

I could only put up working for Amazon for only two weeks before I walk out on them. Hope things work better for ya man. Love your work.

I hung on for 2.5 years. Just can't do it anymore. x3x

Hope things keep going well, Best of luck!

Good luck in your endeavors. There are many places that would need a dedicated worker like you

Good for you buddy, Amazon is terrible another place would be lucky to have someone like you

Good on you for getting away from Amazon!
From my experience of working there, their pay was decent, but their Amazon warehouse management are daft beyond reason.
To support my claim, I'll share my story:

Years ago, I was working in an Amazon warehouse packaging lane position where I had a packaging machine breakdown sporadically for an entire week.
At the end of that week, a warehouse manager pulled me aside and said "Your rate is low"; by rate he meant that my packaging quota was less than what they wanted.
I told him, "That is because the package machine keeps breaking down. How do you expect me to keep up my rate if the machine is constantly breaking down?"
I'll never forget what he said to me; he said the following:
"I don't know; just do it!"
I left that Amazon job that following week after that nonsensical scenario.

Ohhh yeah, that sounds about right. Most of our direct managers weren't bad, but the folks at the top didn't seem to have any clue what the warehouse was actually like and probably only cared about the numbers coming in and going out. Mostly coming in.

Warehouse was already at max capacity, but they KEPT BRINGING MORE THINGS IN and forcing it into spots, so the entire warehouse was a huge goddamned mess. Made actually doing my job, picking, damned near impossible.

Sad to hear that.
Disorganization, like that, is a disaster just waiting to happen.
It proves how unqualified the warehouse management were for them to allow that facility reach that level of inefficiency.

"Most of our direct managers weren't bad, but the folks at the top didn't seem to have any clue what the warehouse was actually like and probably only cared about the numbers coming in and going out."

I haven't worked for Amazon but for every place I've worked that has corporate overhead, this is 100% true. You're a number on a spreadsheet to them. It's incredibly frustrating and it extends to higher skill work as well.

Aw heck, I didn't know you were in IL! Or maybe I did and forgot. Anyway, congrats on getting out of Amazon. That place is awful. :3 Hope things pick up!

Glad things are looking up for you!
Hope things go well!

Man you're getting out of two not great places, Amazon and Illinois. Best of luck wherever you're headed.

Good to hear things are looking up for ya!

Holy shit, that was honestly a really good move right there, especially if your job was getting that fucking difficult from the bullshit people will throw to others just for profit, I hope everything keeps going well for you, and good luck.

ever heard of the show Undercover Boss? It's a show where the head guy of a company goes in to work for his company in several positions as though at a starting position (like a warehouse position, sales associate, etc.) undercover to see just what it's like to work at those positions as well as how much the people in those positions struggle. I'd like to see the head of Amazon have to do that based on all the horror stories I keep hearing about the place.

Mark down the moment in history where you left Amazon before they started implementing wagecages, because you'll look back at it like watching a video where you almost get shot by a stray bullet.

First game stop and now amazon? Why are there so many major companies that are so terrible to work for?

That's the secret

*All* major companies are terrible to work for. It's how they do so well.

I’ve heard horror stories of amazon, glad you’re outta there.

I assure you
99.99% of them are *probably* true.

I don’t doubt it.

And you got out before the worst of the Christmas rush, a definite bonus! Regular brick and mortar retail during Christmas is bad enough, I shudder to think what working in an Amazon warehouse is like.

Screw amzn, for real.

PS If you're having trouble finding a non-warehouse job, I've heard UPS at least treats their workers like they're people

PSS If you're moving to the Seattle area then my sister is working for UPS in HR and in charge of new hires
