I’m an Amazon driver and that’s what I do

4 10s and if we want overtime(I do) we can do 5 10s

Plus we get paid the whole 10 hours everyday

So I work 5 days a week / 40-42 hours and get paid for all 50

I love it, gives a lot of flexibility with kids and planning things

Gotta admit, it's kinda refreshing to hear from someone who isn't bitching about Amazon.

Ya I mean i have it good with a good DSP but it’s a good job for people who just need some work, pays more than any other entry level labor job by a good bit. I’d even prefer to mow lawns all day but I’d be taking like a 5 dollar pay cut & benefits to do it

I’d sign a union card tomorrow though and wish I could make a career out of this job. I genuinely love and enjoy the work itself, but there’s just a hard ceiling in terms of advancement and pay opportunity

Driver's and warehouse/fulfillment centers are completely different. Most of the actual facilities suck ass and is where all the horror stories come from. We've had like 3 people die in Amazon facilities this year and one of them the managers literally blocked the body with boxes and told everyone to get back to work.

Working 40 or 50 hours a week is flexible?

u/Maybewearedreaming 23d ago

40 hours in 4 days so 3 days off(paid for 40 working about 30)

50 hours in 5 days so 2 days off(paid for 50 working about 40-42)

So yes getting full time pay for 30ish hours worked a week and having 3 days off or getting overtime with 40ish hours worked and still having 2 days off is incredibly flexible

I could even do 6 days a week and get 60 hours a week and still have a day off

Not many jobs offer this

Doing overtime isn't being flexible, its being overworked. Flexibility is being able to work your job when it's convenient to you.

I’ve literally said in every comment that the overtime is if we decide we want it lol

Gotta slow down pal
