Amazon has this going on in DFW

[busykngt]

Just FYI -
Amazon to open new delivery stations in Arlington, Fort Worth, Mansfield, McKinney and Balch Springs in 2021. Hundreds of full- and part-time jobs starting at $15 per hour will be available and will include various benefits packages - contact Amazon.

They already have an Amazon Hub Locker at the Alsups in Santa Ana, Tx, (about 60 miles south of Abilene). It is a little bit larger than a Red Box machine. They send the customer an access code when the locker is stocked and they have three days to pick it up.

I've NEVER seen an Amazon employee come out the door of their workplace singing or smiling, or talked to an employee who enjoyed their experience.

Yup, I've known a few of them that worked in a distribution center. THey hate life. Mandatory OT, they have insane package handling quotas, and the supervisors are bitchy if you're not exceeding the quotas. They all look like the world just kicked them in the balls and shot a puppy in front of them when they're off shift. $15 per hour isn't worth that kind of stress.

I’ve never walked out of a workplace singing or smiling.

The things I enjoy doing are hobbies and cost me money instead of earning it. The things I enjoyed as hobbies and turned in to jobs became things I no longer enjoyed.


Then again, maybe they really do love working there and are sad because they have to leave at the end of their shift.

I don't want to know how the sausage is made.

There's truth to what you said, but all the Amazon people I've worked with and met aren't bad people, but they had nothing good to say about where they used to work.

They opened one in Frisco last year. Occasionally I'll order something and it's delivered in under 2 hours.

Well, I pronounce Lamesa "la-may-sa" too.

Bezos is a raging libtard but he runs HIS shit like a damn Pinkerton.

Fair enough. I don’t know anyone personally who has worked there.

I did frame houses for several years. Started off as a go-fer and lumber toter. I ran my ass off all day in the sun usually carrying something heavy for less money. As I learned things weren’t as bad, but it was always a huddle, always in the weather, and always someone to throw something at you if you slacked off making others take up the work load. So I am somewhat calloused and tend to think a lot of people might not realize that working hard for $15/hour plus benefits isn’t so bad. But again, maybe there is a boogie man I’m not aware of.


I think the worst part for me would be the simple fact that I worked for Bezos, lol.

FWIW, I do know a couple people who work for USPS. It seems the workload there is also very heavy for those who actually work. And I knew someone who worked for UPS long ago who said to avoid it due to the long hours and constantly getting bitched at due to package issues. Not saying all USPS or UPS workers are worth a damn.

The main reason I posted it, is to make people aware of a few potential $15/hr jobs (with some benefit coverage), perhaps in their area. For people having a hard time making "ends meet" - paying rent, putting food on their table, needing to cover children with medical conditions, etc. - it might just make all the difference in the world. If you've never been hungry, then feel free to dismiss my posting. But if you've got relatives or "church family" that might benefit, then maybe you can pass the word on. To me, it's less about Bezos and more about surviving.

I was told about supervisor opportunities there. Wasn’t interested from what I knew about the place. If a worker is busting his balls, doesn’t have much down time, is shy of his standards, I don’t write em up. I’ll talk to em to make sure their ok; see what their doing that’s slowing em down and offer suggestions. I do not like places that have supervisors hiding behind technology and looking at a screen all day.

With how terrible the work force is I appreciate good attendance and effort. If you try to work for me you’re gtg.

You're making some mighty grand assumptions. You transition from "I've know a few...." To "They all..." with your brush. Mighty big leap.

No "They all" refers to the "I've known a few" people. No assumptions there because *all* of the Amazon employees I've known were equally unhappy and exhausted by the time they were off work.

Damn right.

Everyone wants Bezos money but very few want to work like Bezos. Bezos worked his tail off back when they weren't paying $15/hr. He may be a libtard but he got where he is b/c he had an idea & he worked.

A little time learning about Amazon's logistics could be very useful for the next Bezos.

Saw these guys just a singing and a line dancing after a hard day at Bezos land.

A little time studying Southwest Airlines culture would be equally useful. There's nothing that says a successful business can't be equally good for the employees.

My nephew worked for Amazon as a delivery driver. Had unreasonable delivery load and a crappy van they would not fix. He finally got fed up and lefty.
