I'm a wage slave at amazon. Really it's the only place that's hiring that also pays a decent amount, but it ages you fast.

@pattycakechamp what is it about the job that ages you fast?
pattycakechamp · 26-30, F
@Nayla A lot of strenuous work that requires you to constantly move, bend, twist, and lift/grab/search for objects of varying weights. Or you can suck up to the managers (some take that literally) and do nothing all day until an outside manager cleans house.

@akindheart It's not as bad as some of the horror stories, but it's not great.

@pattycakechamp I hope it's only until you get something better.

@akindheart Living out of cars usually has other reasons, amazon doesn't force that. I will say that peak is brutal, we joked that they would just set up cots at our stations to keep us working.

@pattycakechamp are you in seattle? andis it true, they destroy returns?
pattycakechamp · 26-30, F
@akindheart Not seattle, but it's a mixed bag for returns. I'd say that the "low value" returns are definitely destroyed, but sometimes they'll resell an item as used if it's worth enough.
