I feel you. Two years ago I was down bad and took a job as a sorter during peak season. The pay was decent but my feet hurt like a mofo and I got really sick. I had to buy some Doctor School’s gel inserts and work through the sickness. Plus I had to walk home. It got easier after a month, but the first few weeks were rough.

it’s a grueling ass job…I’m not afraid of hard work but that shyt kicked my ass and I was working part-time…so no benefits working at a place where I could EASILY get hurt on the job so I bounced

:hubie:

Yeah. I saw a man who was an inch away from losing his head, literally.

Never worked at UPS but recently thought about it. They are always hiring and I’m so tired of my current job, basically just ready to quit and do something with little brain power while I continue my search. I’ve done that before with Amazon. Amazon was strenuous but I oddly really enjoyed it. After a few weeks my body adjusted and it was a breeze. First time ever having a job that required no decision making really until they started noticing my work ethic and tried to start promoting me. Bounced after that.

Not even trying to make a joke, but you are not using your legs enough when you are bending

And I would head to the gym and work on your legs and also do the bent over row machine as well

You picking up stuff in a place or doing the driving?
Picking up shyt and sorting it. I do whats called "irregs" (packages that are too heavy or weirdly cumbersome)

The Wrong Side of the Tracks
And Ive worked at Tyson, USPS, Im currently working at a steel mill as well. This shyt is kicking my ASS. My lower back, feet, legs, shoulders and arms are sore.​
I worked at UPS and all I did was affix stickers/labels to packages to get loaded onto trailers. One of the easiest jobs I ever had for $20/hr.

WTF are you doing?​

Sounds like you’re putting a lot of manual labor/stress on your body, breh. I can’t tell you what to do but there are too many places of employment paying $25+ with no kinda physical labor involved.

Yea but what are the requirements though? Some wild ass shyt. And its hard to get on at these jobs.
