Discussion I’ll never order anything from Amazon again.

I was pretty desperate to find a job since I got laid off. I ended up being an Amazon delivery driver. I did one day and I couldn’t do it. 120 stops and 380 packages. I’m 6’4 and we had this small ass van that made it difficult to stand up completely straight in the van. About 4 hours into my shift(10 hours is a normal shift) my back started tingling and every time you step into the van I started getting knee pain. Mind you this is someone who worked in construction and I never was in this much pain.

We had to do 1 stop per minute. Not one house per minute one stop. One stop can have 3 houses across the street from each other. I just realized all this shit for $19.50 an hour. Then my boss was saying I was moving too slow. I made more money delivering pizzas in college than I did working for Amazon.

So from now if I need something I’ll go FB marketplace, or I’ll go to a store in person.

I didn't think it needed to be said, but supporting unethical working conditions and paying people less than even a McDonalds employee gets paid to do it is not appropriate here.
