If my family doesn’t get their gifts in time I will happily tell them it was for a good reason
What am I missing, didn’t the impact of that opportunity pass? I’m done shopping… I have a couple of items that are still in shipping that should make it in time, but if the objective was to hurt the bottom line; this is 1-2 weeks late.
I’m assuming this is to align with Christmas. Am I that weird that I need time to wrap stuff and try not to finish sliding in bruised and battered by 4:00am Christmas Day?
Amazon workers typically do 50-60 hour weeks for at least the whole of December if not partly into November, Amazon then tries to find reasons to fire as many people as possible in January because the light has gone from their eyes and they need fresh meat for the grinder.

By extrapolation you are also a nerd
for real. statistically speaking, the average person waits until the last minute to shop, travel, wrap, wake up, go to bed, make a meal, send an email, make a phone call, find a seat, use the bathroom, do literally anything. for every 1 person on top of their shit, there are 5 who get into a knife fight trying to buy the last Super Diarrhea Robot XL for Del Junior at a Texas Walmart on Xmas eve.
the transportation and logistics sectors are a nightmare during the season that reaches its crescendo during the actual holidays themselves. not to mention, packages that miss the deadline still have to be shipped ASAP.
I won’t reject that label, but I thought we would have set the bar a bit higher than basic planning to be a nerd. I mean that standard seems low enough to be a tripping hazard.
Doing it that way would take too much of the merry out of it for me, and it would feel like a chore. I find that counterintuitive to the spirt of the season.
Merry Christmas!
Speaking as someone who works for amazon, two weeks ago I worked 3 days and this week I'm scheduled for 5. It gets exponentially busier the closer you get to christmas.
