Torture is a warehouse job

Unless you get to drive around in a forklift. Then it's bearable.

Unpopular opinion, I liked the warehouse I used to work at.

The work was annoying, but everyone always entertained themselves and were nice to be around. The pay was and still is good, insurance actually covered everything I needed. Plus bc we had a lot of immigrants we had lots of potlucks. We had holidays off and mandatory bowling parties.

Now I work at a more 'liberal, progressive' company. There's no diversity (even though we have a diversity initive) and everyone is delusional. And despite being trendy and anti establishment they pay less then their morally bankrupt competitors.

I worked in a warehouse for 14 months once. For the first 8 months I drove around a cherry picker all day and pulled boxes off of the racks to be sent to different departments. ( I liked it) For the final 6 months I did receiving and put away work. I unloaded trailers and containers and had to print out and put labels on the boxes that we would put on skids to be put away. I also had to go around and do condensing work so we could make room for new stuff to be put away. The work by itself wasn't too bad but I quit because I got stuck working for some asshole that treated me like I was his personal assistant. He use to yell and swear at me while he took it easy and sat on his special tow motor all day while I did all the hard work.

Unloading trucks is HELL

Unloading trucks is HELL

Especially when the trailer or container has been in the hot sun for days or if you have to unload one that smells really bad.

Take it from me: the "liberals" and "progressives" don't give a damn about anybody, as long as they get their skinny latte with sugar free hazelnut syrup served correctly, their Amazon parcel arrives in time and their latest iPhone is at hand.
The rest is bullshit and lip service.
One of the worst companies of all is Amazon, treating its workers like absolute shit, and the owner is now the richest man on the globe and is -- quelle surprise -- a "Liberal".
Hurray.

I used to take so many water breaks. All the trucks smelled the same to me.

So true.

Love the hazelnut syrup part too. Lmao.

If i want coffee I get a goddamned coffee. Screw poopicino lattes—there is a type of coffee you can get that costs $200 per pound which literally comes out of the assholes of some animal in South America.

Folgers all the way.

Also tea snobs bother me. I bought special nice earl gray tea bags for my brothers visit and he refused to drink it cause it wasn't LOOSED LEAF tea. Geeze Louise I thought I was being fancy cause it wasn't Lipton!

If you don't have a reason to kill yourself, folks, hang out with coffee snobs and tea snobs. There's your reason. BOOM!

 

[Smilla]

Wtf

Volatile, dear, I think this is tame compared to your method inquiries.

But I agree WTF

Oh. Okay. Got it.

Why so concerned about "the company"?

They have insurance policies to handle such matters.
