I did that shyt for about 3 months and was like

"I got better shyt to do" and quit.

I am sorry, but the days I am getting rushed around in the fukking heat are over. That's two a days shyt I did in HS.

Nothing was crappier than coming home, tired and sore and literally can't do shyt but go to sleep. I am used to a lot of freedom and running around and getting into shyt.

Only thing cool about warehouse shyt was the togetherness of the people that worked there because everyone one knew it was bullshyt work and we just stuck together.

Breh, just lie on your resume and get a better position somewhere else or join the military or teach English in Japan or China, anything but warehouse bullshyt.

breh i would not move into warehouse work from a comfortable office setting. best warehouse job I had was drivin a forklift around at a fedex warehouse and even tho the pay was nice that shyt got old quick. cold as shyt in the winter months, hot as hell in the summer months.

i had another warehouse job too when i was workin at a big supermarket as a grocer. pushing around all those heavy ass boxes of water and stocking stuff on shelves and organizing shyt in the warehouse breaking my dam back lifting shyt like some fukking slave. fukk all that

Yo I worked nights at a warehouse gig as a merchandiser before and I'll just let you know about the workload. I worked at a big retail store and we would be stocking 20-60lb items at a fast pace for 4-5 hours of a 8 hour shift.

We were understaffed but the workload remained the same so imagine doing a 7 hour full body workout 4-5 days in a row. Managers talked shyt if you didn't keep a fast pace. Saw everyone but the forklift drivers quit within 3 months.

Said that to say, whichever company you go to ask them about the workload and how understaffed they are at the moment. You don't want to be so some and tired everyday that you can't get anything else done. Also ask if the shift ends at the scheduled time and if not how long would you expect to be held after.

The place I worked would keep us working past the end of shift and we had to get permission to clock out, it was bullshyt lol. They never tell you that during the hiring process though.

Good luck. These jobs are usually easy to get due to the turnover rate, all you have to do is be able to pass a drug test
