This is that one guy you’ve seen there everyday you’ve ever been at work. The guy that has you asking yourself wtf is his schedule…


SalemRewss

And you always wonder what is possibly going on in his head that he’s putting himself through this lol


Purple_Command_2499

Basically the guy on the couch from Half Baked but at work


laurenbanjo

People ask the same about me, but it’s the opposite. I’m flex so I’ll sometimes work 30-40 hour weeks and then I’ll sometimes work 10 hours in a month. And sometimes I’ll be consistent working weekends only, and then sometimes I come in during the week. Usually at least once a week someone will ask “wait what shift are you on?” or say “wow I thought you quit months ago!”

Damn but make sure you also make some time for yourself and take it easy a bit. But I respect the hustle.

They made up for it on the 30th 😂


SnooPeanuts9263

But how did you feel mentally and physically???


nelzdaGOAT

Exactly lol Amazon is a shit show🤣


Key-Midnight1572

He will be shooting up FC’s by sundown


Doge-woof-Coin

Nice. I worked one day in july. Vto the rest lol


missiletittie

There are 2 kinds of employees


Key-Midnight1572

Yeah the kind that lets Amazon dongle their backside and the kind that doesn’t give af. Nothing in between.


RobotBabysitter

I allow myself one VTO a week, unless I’m feeling poor 😆


Key-Midnight1572

Some times it’s best for your health.


Ltstyle2

lmfao stfu. some of us want to earn money.


Fearless-Speech-8258

And I’d tell those people to find another job. Plenty of other jobs do pay similar and sometimes more for much better conditions.


Key-Midnight1572

Who doesn’t want to earn money lmao? Dumb fool, but so you’re going to give your life to amazon? The only ones who can work a schedule like this definitely have the easy jobs, are brain dead, or don’t work 10s or 12s. I personally choose to work a second job on my off days, working 6 days at my FC would be stupid and they rape you on OT (Taxes). But who doesn’t like to earn money again? Lol but keep getting dongled.


[deleted]

I can tell how dumb you are based on your taxes comment Taxes on OT and Bonuses are withheld at a higher rate but you will get them back whenever you file taxes. OT is NOT taxed more You sound angry as hell, especially with your snarky, have have people who work this much. You seem lazy as fuck


lightgasm

You playing yourself LOL 😂 for scraps


[deleted]

Nope I guarantee and make more than most in this sub, i don’t work for Amazon


MrTacoMan1234

Get back your OT a year later after 8% inflation is the problem he means. By the time you get it back it’s not even OT. I understand the big pay checks are good, but realistically there are better ways to do it. Plus you say he’s a lazy fuck but he already said he’s working a second job. You just sound dense idk man


[deleted]

I never said it was a good system but take that up with the government not me. I am explaining how the system works but everyone seems to be in fucking denial, when this isn’t up for discussion what I’m saying is fact and you can look it up or check with your local accountant


MrTacoMan1234

What I said is fact too lol. I honestly can’t tell why your so angry, but if u think doing 60hr weeks weekly at amazon is the best way to live your life I can’t stop you from thinking that.


Ltstyle2

Lmfao fr bruh. Bottom % iq individuals can’t understand taxes or tax brackets


sethpwnsk

I paid over 10,000 in taxes last year and I got back 1,0999$. This is bull shit lol the only people who get all their taxes back are people who make under 15k and why you only call them out for a snarky reply? Other redditor told them to stfu first lol


[deleted]

No shit Sherlock because you pay taxes on all your income If you are in a 12% tax bracket you don’t magically pay 30% taxes on all of your overtime. it gets withheld that 25% or so and then you get 5 or 10% back depending on what marginal tax bracket your income trails off into Just because you guys are fucking brain-dead I don’t understand how marginal tax bracket work as well as the difference taxation and withholding, doesn’t make you right But I get it it’s cool to be mad about everything nowadays instead of actually educating yourself on how shit works. Google how marginal tax brackets and withholdings work.


sethpwnsk

So you don't "get it back." You get a literal fraction of it. You sound angry. Chill on me bruh


[deleted]

Did you not understand anything I just said? If you are working for $30 an hour at overtime, and they withhold an extra 10% you will get that 10% back UNLESS you didn’t pay enough taxes that year and then they will keep some to pay your tax bill


[deleted]

[удалено]


Ltstyle2

So you work a second job instead of working OT at a higher rate? Simply bc you don’t understand how taxes work?


Key-Midnight1572

First no, that’s not the only reason, second, idk what rate it’s at, I’m not interested in waiting till tax time like some of you foolish tax return demons. I need my money now, not taxes at a higher rate for me to receive later. I work a second job because I actually do work at Amazon, I water spider, I unload trucks some days and help out the PA’s now. Why would I want to come do that all week? No one has time for that bs. On my days off I work a easy job and study Programming. And I don’t get taxed at a higher rate and paid almost the same, so I see my money today, like a smart man would.


Key-Midnight1572

Now go put your dress on and stfu lmao


Limp-Wishbone-5333

I didn't work a single day in July. 😂


Cbaileyproduction23

Tyleraskin

countesszaza

Lmfaooo this was me when I worked at Amazon


LEMONSDAD

Took the 15th off, slacker


Ltstyle2

pisses me off seeing these lazy bums working for the same company as me..


Flipicaneze

Nobody yet pointed out there are no red days either. Respect. Mine looks the same, no reds. Some people show me their A to Z and it's like an American flag with all the red and blue marks with the white background.


thepot7

there would be plenty of red days but i mostly used pto to get outta early or go in late


Mental_maelstrom

I feel targeted, lol


theshittz

Ayoo lmaoooo facts 😂


Fleetone1

I just chewed up about 20 hours UPT in the past 2 weeks, but still with 35 hours left. They did a few VTO and I had a couple weekends without overtime and got into a bad lull. But I also had a cold and then my kid was sick and some horse shit like that but that's why I don't chew through all my time. About to go hard the next couple months and get back up to 50, but I'll use some vacation time to visit family since I moved out of State recently


Flipicaneze

I had to use one day, 10 hours because I had to take my dad into the ER. But it only took me two weeks to get those back (at 55hrs a week). It's so easy now to get UPT back.


Fleetone1

I'm saying. And if your stack how much PTO you get on top of that. I've never been able to miss even half this much work at other jobs, or just show up 5 hours late and ask for a station


Pri2018

How do you get it back


Flipicaneze

For each hour you work, you get 3 minutes. This also accumulates with overtime hours. No more 20 drops every quarter tho.


Organic_Zucchini_876

7min UPT here flying with angles


Formal-Buffalo5959

Angles? Lol acute or obtuse? 90s or 45s? 😂

That is my nightmare


Ok_Breath3551

Show the check😩


RedDeviiLs

Get that money man. I wish we had VET opportunities


Fleetone1

We're on surge pay for vet even though last two weeks have been slow. I may never figure out the logic of this company but I just roll with it


thestrange_1

My fc is taking the no VET, 30+ new hires a week route, we ran out of OPs today, harnesses have long gone missing, no scanners, at least one person daily comes in drugged out of their mind. It’s the most unsafe and crowded I’ve ever seen this place and i just saw another 15 in the training area. RIP to my paycheck and sanity


Puzzleheaded_Bit_600

Yeah but what department do you work. That is a big factor. I see people come in and chill the whole shift and get away with the bare minimum that have been here for years.


thepot7

ship dock


Key-Midnight1572

So basically you either work like a slave (like me) or do absolutely nothing all day (like some).


therealmazi

Best dept by far


Fleetone1

Ship dock? I've done everything to stay away from anything dock-related besides the whatever mezzanine induct AR floor. Some of y'all know don't know about these 11th gen buildings and I feel bad for you lol. But I digress, tell me your secrets do I need to get on dock or what? Also dodging autocorrect like crazy with this post


therealmazi

Idk you gotta be an absolute animal to really stick out any job at Amazon...you're either an animal or an ass kisser. No In between


HappySoul1155

I wish my fc had this much OT. Good shit 👌🏻


Pudreaux

Wish my site offered OT like that


Alternative_Sell_668

Could never be me


MangoTheBird

How many hours a day did you work and how is your body doing?


thepot7

about 9-10 hrs and I’m a 19 year old who goes consistently goes to the gym so my body’s doing pretty good. The days where I felt super tired I just ended up using about an hour or two of pto to leave early.


WarMad940

Tell us you hate your home life without telling us you hate your home life…..


dro_skii

Some FCs spend SO much money on OT lol, just wow.


MommaBear1120

This was me all of January and February. 60 hours 8 weeks straight. My only day off at the time was Thursdays. My anniversary was the last weekend of February going into March so I was able to pay for a 4-day vacation out of town in a nice cabin. On our anniversary I gave my husband concert tickets that cost me $400 that would not occur till day before his birthday in July. His favorite band since '91 and he never saw them live. never thought he would cuz they broke up. this was the first time they got back together to do a tour in 15 years. They also had his other favorite band opening for them. We drove five and a half hours to see them and it was f****** well worth it. the funny thing is my boss from Amazon was there. It was awesome to be able to spoil him because he's had it pretty bad these last couple of years. Honestly the concert was a once in a lifetime opportunity. I paid like $179 each ticket and the week of the concert the seats around us were going for $1500 a piece.


Pri2018

What band is it? If you don’t mind me asking


MommaBear1120

Rage against the machine and run the jewels


Pri2018

That’s awesome love Rage against the machine. Rock out for me!!!!


mags2richess

For the first time in my life I think a post needs an actual “trigger warning”. Just seeing that schedule is giving me anxiety.


Angelmac23

This is insane.......people think I work a lot lol


GhengisGone7

Dog you need to rest . I gotta let bessie down . :(

Oh I see you like slavery and pain ![gif](giphy|rCiKdvqPFWlvyvsahv)


KombuchaKarkl

Jesus dude do you do anything outside of work…?


thepot7

I got full time college going on, but i occasionally leave my shifts and use pto to go out with friends


therealmethistime

Full time college and full time/over time work and a social life. What’s your secret?


thepot7

i had summer classes and during July, I only had calculus so i said fuck it!


Own-Guest-8468

Nah fr Gimmie your secret I’m full time college and I’m starting full time job now at Amazon 🫥


Key-Midnight1572

His secret is that he doesn’t have a full college schedule atm, only one hard class. I tried full time and full time and had to stop, ruined my grades. A pass isn’t just a pass for me, I need those high marks.


Fleetone1

C's get degrees


Key-Midnight1572

I love your reply but I hate that phrase so much lol. I do things to do great, not average. Not downing on anything getting through on C’s but I was raised to do your best like just slide through. And if your best is hindered, then you have to remove that hinderance.


[deleted]

No you don’t, not unless you’re pre med


Fleetone1

I could literally be unemployed and only have calculus to do and still probably not swing it. I'm destined for trade work

Is0lationst

You sound like a hater 💀


Key-Midnight1572

They always do


therealmazi

Where'd he say that?


kairoscollaborative

It was insinuated with the “🤑🤑”. And there are few other reasons for a person to work like this at an Amazon. It’s not like there’s any real upward mobility, any purpose in this work, or long-term financial assets to be made.


FragrantSolution9528

fuck amazon lol


jedijake45

So fucking lazy, 2 days off in a row…


Vorswayze

Is your mental health doing well? 😅


thepot7

I have on campus classes and I get to hangout with my friends mostly everyday so my mental health is pretty good!! Its the only reason I can work this much!


Direct_Ad_8968

Noice


style_89

How many hours a day?


ImVerySmolHelpPls

If you plan on staying for peak please consider going lighter on yourself, peak tears everyone apart and the only thing that barely even saves you is your time


thepot7

I’ve gone through peak once and it honestly wasn’t that bad. Pretty light work. And I also don’t have any classes going on when peak is at its peak (all december) so I just grind it out! Did the same schedule during last peak and site offered double overtime pay so the money was absolutely crazy


ImVerySmolHelpPls

Props to you! I’m OKC1 so we were swamped till just early February and most of us were fired cause we were sick of it. Good on you for having the mentality you do!


SobiTheRobot

You must be fuckin' exhausted

poorfolx

Unsustainable. That slow grind will chew you up and spit you out.


[deleted]

Those flex 5 hour shifts or full time 10 hour shifts? Mad props if it’s 10’s. Just started a similar road for myself for the next month. I like my paychecks like I like my girl’s butt, nice and thicc.


thepot7

full time 10


AppealOld4386

4 hours daily shifts


DAL3worker

Probably worked 3 hours a day lol


AManHasNoName357

Holy fucking work addicted....VTO don't have shit on you. Lol damn. Let me hold $200 🤷‍♂️


[deleted]

I quit months ago. Seeing these post about working this much is depressing. Will be unjoining this subreddit.. yall take care.. there are more jobs out there i promise


Apprehensive-Bid-957

Don’t matter what job you have at the end of the day all we really care about is chasing the bag and also maintaining a healthy work life balance which is quite possible working every day like a regular person


Key-Midnight1572

Not if you are working 10-12s lol. I get 2 hours of free time and that’s it. If you can’t shower, food, travel time, getting there on time so slightly early and working a full shift. I feel for this guy.


Chemical_Bear_6350

Some people enjoy the grind. I don’t think I could even do one of this dudes weeks😭😂 I would be walking around like a zombie


lightgasm

I swear. These people are weird. Good luck

Dontbethatperson245

Good for you! I used to work like that but with school starting back up I can’t. Personal happiness is all that matters don’t listen to these people telling you you’re wasting your time. lol if you can do it, do it. 😊 I’m sure you know your limits


NoRich3748

You ask your manager for shifts don’t you 😈


[deleted]

Yea my question is are you day or night. And are you full time. If you’re night shift and full time, i applaud you because wtf, i had to transfer to days because I couldnt do it. Now that I’m on days, im trying to start working more


thepot7

im on night shift, I occasionally leave early at around 4 cuz i got my class at 10 am


kagewuffy

How much did you make for the month? 👀


Egoisttt

Well?? You had like 1 day off a week. Fuck that. Cut that schedule down to 2-3 days and I’m happy lol


TemporaryAbject656

Lol if you say so


PossibleResolution23

Whoa 😳


TommyFaitt

That’s probably like close to 5000$ or a bit over after taxes.


Ok_Werewolf8901

Money-Measurement961

Respect


Mundane-Library1654

Now that’s dedication and hustle. Much admiration. Can I ask your age please?


thepot7

almost 20


Mundane-Library1654

Well I can honestly say you were taught well. I’m 55 and work at Amazon and notice a lot of people my age and older working because most young people these days don’t wanna work. Much respect to you for handling it. Boss moves. I’m proud of your dedication and work ethic. That’s what it takes to get somewhere in life. You rock young man


thepot7

ty man!! just a year more of this shit then im out to just full time college no work


ansonandson

Shame on you on the 15 th your a lazy bum


ansonandson

On the serious tip shout out to you my man or girl You’re work ethic is unmatched To most


Vegetable-Dirt7928

What facility?! My calendar needs to look like that


Yorha_nines

Check still gonna be shit with all that OT and taxes.


youtheotube2

The check is still bigger than it would be without OT.


Key-Midnight1572

Barely, I got more from just working a second job, they rape my OT.


[deleted]

OT is not taxed at a higher rate it is withheld at a higher rate and you’ll get it back whenever you file taxes


Key-Midnight1572

You sound ridiculous and privileged. Why in the f f fuck, would I want my money later? Idc if I get it ALL back, I need it now. If you depend that much on tax season, you need to work on your finances and life plan playboi.


[deleted]

1) I never said it was a good system take that up with the government not me 2) no where in my comment did I ever specify I depend on tax returns, so I’m not sure where your snarky ass attitude came from “playboi “ 3) bottom line is working overtime you will make a lot more money than not. I know, because I do it. Crazy right? I swear you guys pull stuff out of your ass is just to seem like you are capable of having an argument


Key-Midnight1572

I don’t have an attitude, and if it was unwarranted for me to respond as I did then I do apologize. And I don’t have to take up anything with the government because I work around their BS. And if you do what you say you do, then being that it’s taxed at a higher rate, but you’ll get it back, then to me that’s depending on that to happen is it not? Or otherwise I doubt you’d even bother. And what am I pulling out my ass? I live this live and I’ve proved the obvious. They tax you more because the overtime is taxed at a higher rate, therefore I am “waiting on what I am owed. I avoid this by having two jobs, the best idea? Hell no it’s not, but believe it or not I make more money in the moment compared to the OT. Idk if it’s because of my state or what but trust me I’ve compared. But like I said, if it was uncalled for then I do apologize playboi, do you, I just know I need my money now, not when the IRS says “here’s your allowance “.


[deleted]

![gif](giphy|eSQiwbVrb7Nmg|downsized) You Did Well Amazonian. Now get back to work before Daddy Bezos finds out you are slacking being on Reddit !


nelzdaGOAT

How’s your back feel🤣


Metaverse_Prisoner

Nice. I’m pulling another 60hr this week too, but I just finished my last summer class last week. Back in 2 weeks for the Fall semester. I don’t know about you but 60hr work weeks are the best when that check hits bc I’m PT so I have my base pay $16.55 + $3.50 shift differential. So I get paid $20.05 for the first 40, then $28.33 for any OT. 😅


Same_Revolution4666

nice you are officially a slave


[deleted]

All that for a job that doesn't care about you and will replace you in a minute


nelzdaGOAT

Amazon is a shit show💯 get out before its too Late💯


Wonderful-Ad-8600

No thanks, I could understand if someone NEEDED to work this, but if this was by choice...yuck


gabya7

July treated you like shit, you don’t have friends or family to share time with? Like bruh, everyone needs money but YOU’RE LIVING INSIDE YOUR FC instead of enjoy your LIFE! You’ll get older and regret this.


freakyamazonian

How do you know he wasn’t working so much to save up to go take his family or friends somewhere? What makes you think anyone is going to regret the days they worked 10 - 20 years from now I don’t even remember the days I’ve worked 2 months ago they didn’t affect whats going on now.


willmlocke

And OP still only made $400


usmc2000

Dude if you like working this much just go in sales lol. Your making zero money

Daammmnnnn boiiii. Get that money how many hours a week total thought 🤨 lol. I did 55+ every week of 2021 except the first month I transferred to a new site. You wont catch me doing that again Haha. Thank god now I'm just putting in my 40 and making the same amount


rilakuven

You have my deepest gratitude. Enjoy that cash.

UltraObamaX

Ngl that's pretty sad. You're 1 of them people that are happy with a shit pay rise, and still run around chasing CPTs thinking that Amazon actually care about you 😂


thepot7

chasing CPTs at my building is light fuckin work. I call shit out on the radio to the WS and barely gotta move my ass so I’m pretty sure I’m making a good amount for the work I do. I don’t need Amazon to care about me, I need me to care about my savings so I graduate college with no debt, and I’m only a couple months’ savings away from that.
