Lift with your legs.
Know how much your lifting. If it's too much, ask for assistance.
Know your limits.

Don't work warehouse jobs if you don't have to.

Bet. Don't stick around longer than you have to, cause you might be "aiight" with it for now, then get fed up one day when a dozen people walk off shift at once, and everyone else start looking
at the door while you thinking about that check
I been through that. Should have been a 4 hour shift, turned into 8, cause staff fell off so hard they asked the rest of us to stay andhelp the NEXT shift. Nah B, fukk that. Everybody need a job, so I wouldn't do that unless I absolutely couldn't get anything else. Would rather do check out at this hood ass Walgreens near me
than do another christmas at UPS/Fedex.

Snakes? No AC? Should've called the labor board on their ass,Dear god no! Tell him to get away from that! I was 20 when I worked at one. It was the Wal-Mart distribution center (it was called UTI then). Hardest thing I've ever done! So many black chicks working there and we were tired and in a lot of pain. The guys kept trying to talk to us which made it very irritating. Hell there was also no air conditioning and it was summer time -- I just went back to school too. I think one of the pregnant girls almost lost her baby. She never came back. I lasted only two weeks. They told us we had 3 hours to unload a whole damn trailer truck. 3.....damn....hours.....I was only 140 pounds then and not that strong upper body wise. We had all sorts of animals and bugs come out of that sh*t! I got bit by a spider and it spread all the way up to my lady area causing my ovaries to swell (a rash trail that went all the way up both legs and thighs to that place smh). I had to go to the ER and they told me to get away from there! They let me go for getting hurt and I almost got let go the day I didn't meet the time demand for that truck.
It took me 9 hours to unload these big a** tvsI found out I was allergic to spiders and that was terrible pain in the ovarian area
I've never seen so many snakes in my life!..........bats............rodents.............bugs I couldn't even identify!!!!!!
your brother sounds like a p*ssy lol
clearly he was lifting with his back and not his legs, wrong ergonomics
i’m a 5’3 115 ln female and been working warehouse and manufacturing jobs for like a decade. most that’s happened to me is slicing my finger open with a blade

It didn't even cross my mind. I was just worried about my ovaries. I had no clue I was allergic to spiders. It hurt to sit straight up in class I thought they were going to burst
. But all I know is that folks were always leaving that place. Warehouse jobs are terrible
I should have listened to my dad he never wanted me to ever have to work just follow my dreams but I always wanted to work. All the hell I've been through.
That's why it's my goal to reach my goals now and once I get rich, get married and have kids I want to be a stay at home wife and mother like how my mom ended up. Doing hardcore work like that left a terrible taste in my mouth.
I know it's been many years but still. That's why I feel for any man that doesn't want to do this type of thing.

Some people are just cursed with bad genetics and have weak backs from a young age. It is what it is.
Work for FedEx currently, hate it.
Express or Ground? I worked on the floor at Express for years and it wasn't bad, work your 4 hours and bounce. Express isn't bad because unless you are working at an input you weren't lifting heavy shyt all shift. Plus it's plenty of ramp agent jobs around the country to move up into and they always looking for managers and couriers.
I wouldn't dare work at ground.

currently at a warehouse job to pass the time and shyt is cake.
Hardest job I've ever seen is working at glass/metal fabrication. shyt pays well but you're regularly carrying sharp ass shyt that weighs on average 70+ plus pounds and is irregular. fukk that.

Same with UPS. I tell people all the time, the biggest kept secret at UPS, Amazon, and FedEX are the manager and admin jobs. Those shyts pay pretty well. And if you work for either UPS or FEdEx at one of their major air hubs as a FT supervisor, you're making 50k for 40 hours a week or less (except during peak season its more like 45-60 hours a week for 3 weeks).

Ain't nobody tryin to get indicted.
His body wasn't prepared for the work he's doing. Proper lifting techniques and strength training will knock all those back problems out. @Mowgli already said it: Train or fall into oblivion. He didn't train and he's suffering for it.
I had joint and back problems until I strengthened my back with weight lifting. I do yoga, stretch, and lift weights. I put on some weight too. My body can take a hard ass day's work now. When I was like 142-150 I felt like my body was breaking.

Express but shytty people make the 5.5 go by slow.
You at a ramp or a hub? Either way if you at an input you gotta get off that shyt pronto. I was in a secondary pushing freight to the different slides and occasionally loading the containers. Loading containers ain't bad once you get a feel for how to T stack and get a good base going. Except them AKEs, fukk stacking in an AKE. FedEx is a good spot depending on what you going to school for. I went for engineering and caught a nice paying job quickly after graduation. Get your degree and look at the job board, I highly recommend you try and get on with them in a full time capacity. How many companies out there still offering pensions Bruh.
