Everything that they say about Amazon is true. It’s a sweatshop and workers are treated like slaves. Didn’t make it to the end of my shift but I did put in several more hours than I should have and now my entire body hurts

    If you can beat the first few weeks you'll be ok. Then a few months later you'll probably realise you're only a husk of a human now, and quit.

        My dad has worked for Amazon for a couple years and he has said that like 80% of new hires burn out and quit within the first two weeks. It's even worse during the holiday rush

          Yup, they have one of the highest job turnover rates out there. That's why it's so easy to get a job with them.

        Different kind of bad. I worked amazon night shifts because I figured - fucking finally, I don't have to talk to anyone - would put my podcasts on and chill. Soon realised I really needed that human interaction. Making some friends there helped, but in the end I just couldn't take it anymore. I do think the fact it was night shifts made it considerably worse.
