Amazon warehouse jobs?

[halocog]

Has anyone ever worked in this sort of job? I hear it's awful, but it's looking like it's my only option.

Any job is better than no job I guess. I imagine it's ass busting work. If it were me, I'd try to get into construction if you're gonna do hard work. With that you can learn useful skills. In a warehouse, once you've mastered the forklift, that's about it. You're moving items from one place to another. You could get promoted, and be able to tell other people where to move things, but it doesn't seem satisfying to me.

I would say that there are pros and cons to both. Construction may pay more but you can also get laid off on a whim and benefits like medical or even vacation are rare.

I'll give it a try if something doesn't come up soon. I'm a fatass so I don't think I'll do too well. See here and here.

After reading those articles, I dont think you will be a fatass much longer.

Hopefully I'll get fit before they fire me because I'm too slow lol

I'm with lx. If your gonna bust your ass you mine as well learn something while your at it. Skills are skills and you'd be surprised how far those skills can take you even if your laid off. Just knowing basic stuff with the help of youtube and other people you can manage to work for others for cash and not send half of your earnings into the poop chute. And healthcare is gonna be free if you work on a cash basis and your young health care is over rated. Seriously grab a hammer and some bronzer and stand in front of the home depot. You can thank us later.....

Are you talking about the zappos warehouse? Amazon owns it now. I know you're living in a similar area to myself.
