Any tips that I may have missed? Let me know! 👇
Back support brace is extremely useful.
Some warehouses supply them and some don’t. It saves your back when lifting heavy items and makes living even heavier items a breeze.
@@Spacedog_42 Agreed 👍 I have a couple myself for the heavy lifting 💪
Another tip would be to have goals when doing a task because if you don’t it will get repetitive real fast
@@crazy-iq-genius3840 True... that does help the time go by a little quicker. 👍🏽
I’m struggling bro mentally and physically. Any help you can give me? Can I message you?
a friend of mine who works at a warehouse told me that he doesn’t think of his job as work and more as a daily workout.
That's a good way to look at it b/c it can be workout & you will burn some calories. Lol 💪🏾
@@HumanEncoded i build pallets of grain for the craft brewing industry. I'm sweating. I'm definitely not putting on weight!! Lol
@@hededcdn lol I guess that would be a good thing if you were trying to lose weight along with getting paid. 💰
Hope it continues to workout for you. 🙂👍🏽
I like tht mindset def will have to apply this mentality for my 6 hr shift 😅
This is what I exactly do. I even light exercises
Amen to pacing yourself. I worked in a warehouse that was heavy on getting these impossible numbers and the more you strived to get those numbers, the more they kept raising the bar! It got to the point where I finally realized that I was giving 150+% and they kept wanting, or should I say, DEMANDING I keep meeting those new numbers to the extent that I couldn't consistently do those numbers everyday that they then started threatening me with write ups and points if I couldn't or didn't make those numbers from the day before. I started getting written up for "job performance" or "quantity" or "quality" issues.
So needlessly to say, I got severe job burnout from them demanding that I work like a Hebrew slave.
Mentally, physically and spiritually exhausted to the point I just couldn't do it no more. They kept squeezing blood out of a turnip and once the blood was no longer, they continued to squeeze and squeeze to no end in sight.
So ever since then, I made a vow to myself I'm going to give 100% like I always do but I will never cast pearls to swine again. They don't appreciate it. Matter of fact, I means nothing to them. All they care about are the numbers. I understand there is a quota to meet but when others are just standing around not doing anything, they will make you take up their slack and work you to death if you let them.
Moral of the story:
You do the best you can do and if that isn't good enough for them, then you really don't want to work for those kind of people anyway...
If everybody would just pull their own weight, it would make everyone's job ALOT more enjoyable!
Great. I'm really not looking forward to my first day which is Sunday. They can go ahead a write me up all they want. They're getting 60% from me on the 1st day up until I finally leave.
Very well said, I couldn't agree with you more!
A lot of what you said is what I experience personally & watching other ppl working in the warehouse environment.
Thanks for sharing this! 💯
I hope it all works out for you, whether you stay there or decide to quit. 👍
I pretty much had the same experience and unfortunately I was fired but I'm doin alright now working at a cafe, it's peaceful and I get to talk to good folks, hear their stories but I also learned that some workplaces just don't care about your well being and demand more then you can give, I hope everythings goin alright for you now 🤟🏿
Gloves are a must. Something about cardboard will pull the oils from your skin and dry your hands out and it’s easy to get paper cuts.
Agreed. It's something about cardboard touching my hands that I don't like the feeling of which is why gloves are a must.
I have been working my very first ever warehouse job for almost one year now, and every single word of advice you have said I agree with 100%. I bought myself a brand new box cutter and gloves and it has already paid off for me. I wear comfy shoes everyday with inserts ( Personally I prefer New Balance ). LOVE how you said " DONT wear yourself out, or your body" That is #1. My warehouse job constantly puts people in other areas that do tons of work, so just do what you can and work at an ok pace but don't ever go too fast and physically and mentally drain yourself.
Glad to hear you got value from this video.
It's great that you not overworking yourself out & keeping some New Balance on your feet. Lol
Hope you're able to last long enough to get everything you want from your warehouse job. 🙂👍🏽
Hey Ally! is New Balance the shoes you're talking about?
The supervisor I work with tells me to pick up the pace. I’m about accuracy! I know the speed will come. I do find it annoying when I walk that supervisor for feedback and all he says “ you are doing good but just gotta pick up the pace.”
How should I take that? Is it rude, helpful or motivation?
If you work in a warehouse and you make lots of mistakes you can get fired easily :( because the company loses money
Workplace Drama & Dating Relationships are HUGE!!! Caused me to lose my last job, which had amazing benefits, good pay and easy work! Lesson Learned! Stay away from the BS and get your paper! --- Great Vid! Keep up the great work!!!
Man thanks! Hate to hear that drama messed up your 💰 tho
Hopefully you are able to find a even better job soon bro
how do warehouse workers have time to talk enough to date?
In a environment where you deal with groups of workers it can stress a person out cause. The workers could be annoying it causes problems sometimes if your working full time its hard to avoid it. Remote work is less stress I am trying to find one but cant get hired I do have side hustles going at least its a bonus
@@cryptojonny6837 Right, group work environments can be challenging because you have to deal with so many different personalities and try your best to avoid the drama without isolating yourself. I recently accepted another position similar to the one I lost, that will allow me to pretty much work by myself thru the entire shift. Keep pushing and something better will come your way!!!
@@JaneParkerBowls Easy during breaks
Keep a small bottle of water in your pocket - if you get moved to another area, you could forget your large container of water.
If you get dehydrated you can end up with KIDNEY STONES and you'll be out for a week ~!
Facts! add with an angle that I never thought about 🧊🥤.... Thanks for sharing Lucinda! 🙂
I just started a warehouse job loading pallets and wrapping them. I don't think I've ever drank so much water in my life.
8:00 You're right about that point, on my second day at UPS I went fast loading my truck, got moved to help another guy loading who was backed up, then got moved to another truck to help my trainer, then my trainer left me alone lmao...
Lmbo yea I can see that happening. 😂
Don't let them over work you bruh! 😅
You hit the nail on the head with this video for anyone coming into this field of work everything that is addressed is so true . I've been a warehouse associate as a drive for over 18 years and a warehouse manager for 16 years , so i do agree with everything said !!!! GREAT JOB !!!!
Thanks a lot for watching & validating this video Stephen! You have lasted a lot longer than most in warehouse logistics industry. Appreciate you taking the time out to say this. Hopefully this video helps some people. 👍🏽
Man, when you mentioned working 110% and how you could be expected to work that same energy in other locations...THAT got my attention. I never thought of that possibility! Excellent reason for pacing oneself!
Yeap that's just my opinion being one who worked in warehouse environments for some years.
Hope my approach works for you while you are working those warehouse jobs.
Thanks for watching Louis 💯
Don't forget tip#6 getting proper rest and stretching before and after shifts 🙂👌🏾
Good Tip 🙂👍🏾
I like your videos because it's more like a nostalgic thing for me 😊 It was the Amazon fulfillment center in Atlanta/ATL6 that I met my husband back in 2016. It was a fun job! I was able to work at auto sort with friends or manual sort. Not to mention that everyone I knew worked there! Definitely one of the best work experiences of my life. I mean yeah there was drama within the work place but I never got involved! I just worked with my friends and enjoyed back then the freedom that the warehouse gave. It was definitely a jovial atmosphere even during peak season! And working with HIM made everything better. I just smile as I remember the early parts of our relationship because it had a lot to do with Amazon ❤ From losing gloves all the time to rushing to clock out when the PA's would yell VTO. To losing my bade on countless occasions! All of that brings me back so many happy memories. 🥰
Wow, I'm happy to hear your workplace romance worked out & ended up in a marriage💑
I used to love VTO too, even tho when that check came I was like dang I needed that money lol.
Thanks for sharing your story Zay! 🙂👍🏽
@@HumanEncoded Lol yess! Definitely we didn't make it a habit to VTO! But when we did it was much needed! And yes never EVER thought that was where I would meet my significant other but things happen ❤
@@evangelistzayparker251 I can only speak for myself but I took VTO 95% of the time it was offered & was able to get it. 🙂
Hope you continue to have a happy & long lasting marriage. 👏🏾💖👏🏾

To add something to number 3: its not that you dont have to be fast, just dont be exhausted. Reason: when you get too tired, even if you push yourself, you got something monoton, and your thinking slows down. Why it is important? Because until you work w 110%, someone else with calm, fresh thinking can make the same job lot faster than you, with minimal effort. Remember: in logistics you also have to work with your head.
Also if it happens, just try to copy what the other guy/girl doing, and look if its fit for you.
Good advice.... Thanks for sharing J'ozsef! 💪🏾💯👍🏽
I know im not doing anymore warehouse work. Long hours on my feet, back aches, short breaks, micromangement, etc. I gotta be REALLY desperate for money to do any warehouse work again.
I'm with you on that.... The ppl who like that kind of work I salute them tho b/c it's not for everyone
@@selfimpovingprophecy5970 That's cool. It's nothing wrong with working at a warehouse.
I always say as long as you have a plan it will all work out at the end. 👌🏽🙂
I don’t get micromanaged because I know exactly how to be the most useful and helpful to the company and I’m so good at it that nobody wants to move me off of it and I have a great rapport with everybody :)
@@2kdim what company was that?
It beats the hell out of restaurant work.
this is great advice, I worked in a warehouse for years and info like this is really necessary for beginners and even people who have experience to reference and add to what you already do. Thanks for posting it 🙏🏼
The fact that you have worked at a warehouse for years & take to time to write a positive comment means a lot....
Thanks for watching!! 💯
I just started working in a warehouse with my very long time bf and the main reason it wasn't a conflict of interest issue is because our warehouse is huge. So I'm im a completely different department and building than him 99% of the time. Love these tips, still don't feel like I know what Im doing really but I'm willing to learn and do the work :)
It's good that you didn't just meet him at the warehouse & not working very close to each other. That should minimizes the possible relationship issues from work.👍🏽
I've worked in many positions & their would always be something that I didn't fully understand how to do, so you're not the only one. Lol
Thanks for watching Brooke! :)
So how’s that still going?
Any difference almost a year later?
Gel boot inserts last longer and keep your natural foot arch and buffer against the solid concrete floor. They dont lose shape or fall apart as much. Highly recommend gel inserts.
Im a counterbalance and reach FLT driver, soon to be instructor.
Also hard work leads to hard work. People who think they're going places by learning everything often end up getting used and abused and burnt out. Be good at one thing you can tolerate and get some level of job satisfaction out of it is what i say. Management place you where you are best as that is part of their job. If you make yourself good at everything, you will end up soing everything.
Dont be a yes man but don't be rude.
Great Advice On Everything You Said!
Thanks for sharing your knowledge! 💯👍🏽
all you said are absolutely true !!
thank you for another helpful video !!!
Thanks for checking it out David! Glad it was helpful 👍
What a vid you had me in tears lol when you was talking about the appropriate footwear and not over doing it felt that investing in memory foam soles
Lol man I was just trying to tell my ppl the truth!
Those memory foams are life changers! 👟😁
Good tips, especially about staying away from drama and being sociable and communicating.
Thanks Niko... Appreciate you watching! 💪🏾💯
I really wish I came across this video before working at USPS. I definitely really need to learn that I need to pace myself and get insoles because two months in and my feet are killing me..
Lol yeap pacing yourself & cushion in the shoes are a difference maker. 👟🥾
Happy to hear you got value out of this video & thanks for sharing your thoughts. 🙂
Awesom video man,definitely gonna try these tips . just started at a warehouse and went 110 percent to show them I really appreciated them hiring me but I think I should just pace my self because at the end of the day I'm exhausted and my feet are killing me , boots and a paper cutter are definitely on the way 💪
Glad you got value by watching this video!
Yea going 110% will put a lot of strain & possible injury to your body.
As long as you do you job, purchase those items you spoke of, & remember to work smarter not harder, you should come out ok. 💪💯
This video is awesome 😎 very informative. You’ve just helped a lot of ppl 🌸
I really appreciate this comment & glad you got something out of this video Daughta Of Levi! 🙂🙃😉
Hope it helps others 🤞🏽
Pace is key. There's no sense to kill yourself for the big company if your not getting paid per unit. Good tips in this video. However, they're making robots that can do all these warehouse jobs as we speak. They can do your job faster, more efficiently, and they don't call out sick. So always have a plan B bc you are very, very, very, replaceable to them.
TOTALLY AGREE!! Have a plan B! 💯
We have to find ways to make money that's not easily replaceable by a robot or learn how to operate the robot. Lol 😁
I have my plan b but it's in pill format for my bitches
Best video I've watched about warehouses thankyou so much
Apologies for the late reply but thank you so much for your comment!
Glad you got value from watching this video Tommy!:💪🏾💯👍🏽
Awesome descriptions of Warehouse work. Very reasonable description!!!!!!!
No jokes. God bless.
Appreciate your comment & thanks for watching Betty! 🙂
Very insightful. Appreciate all of these important tips
Thanks bruh.... just trying to share what I know 💯
Agree with everything on this list! Especially the gloves! They are great...until they wear out in 2 days.
Lol that is true... Thanks for watching! 👍🏽
Thank you, sir. You have no idea how much this helps
Glad to here this video helped.... Thanks for watching! 💪🏾💯
Excellent Video!
You nailed the top 5 reasons on “ How to not get fired”! Honestly, this should be a Training Video.! Well explained and to the point. I appreciate the “110 %” part think about yourself and your health.
Thank You! I'm really glad to hear you liked the video Paul!
The part when you said, "This should be a training video"!
That would be wild to see any company say this in orientation. lol 😄
You are on point about the 110%. I been bruised and battered lately and also exhausted trying to hustle and make that tiny commission. I got to do like you said and Slow down...chill out. I'll be 51 in September and even though I'm still a lil whipper snapper....I ain't 30 no more 😢
lol Yeap b/c (in my opinion) once you become injured, you become used goods, & prob on your way out the door after that anyway.
Your body can break down at any age so I'd rather shoot for preservation & longevity.
I just started at fedex, it was so hot in the trailer to where I got nauseous and lightheaded. The more water I drank the more nauseous I got and I had started to get discouraged but I sat in the cool room for 3-5 minutes and after that I was good I finished the rest of the truck with no breaks but paced myself and felt good. I think I can do this.!
Trust bro, we've all been there, keep grinding you'll move up in no time.
Glad to hear you recovered... Hopefully that wont happen again & you are able to work there as long as you want to. 💪👍
bruh im dead, u hit the nail on the head wit this bout the 110 ! lmao and them snacks bo, gotta have dem
Lol I just let them do how they feel but I'm not not bout to give them 110% & yea those snacks can end up costing what a real meal would if you not careful 💸🤷🏽... thanks for watching c.r.8
no prob bruh
If the warehouse is old, don’t rely on the water fountain. That will poison you long term.
Lol never thought about that... that could be a issue.
The places I've work they had the fountains that had the big jug on top.
Really appreciate the information. I’m gonna start my senior year of high school next month and that means I gotta make the choice for what I’m going to do after and I think this may be the route
That's great to hear you are almost out of there (HS). Hopefully you are able to find something that works out for you. 🤞🏽
If you do work at a warehouse, Amazon is the best one trust me. If you’re not working at Amazon make sure you are driving forklifts so you don’t have to use your body
@@realrareap2420 Good advice.... thanks for sharing 👍
Tbh. Just go to the post office. Amazon benefits are not that great and the company sucks as a whole and don’t care about their workers. At least they can’t fire you for stupid reasons at the post office bc you’re protected by a union. After a year or two depending on need at your location you can be a regular career employee with actual benefits and higher pay. Raises every year. More paid time off. Shoot there are some people who are hired right into career getting benefits. They hire from within FIRST. If you get in and don’t like your job you can apply for another position and location. And work until they move you. You get a week break in between switching jobs. Trust me. It’s still gonna be hard work but people need to tech those younger than them about working smarter not harder. Work for a place that actually gives you something in return. Not just a job.
@@Ktwice221 so working for a post office is better than working at a factory or amazon warehouse etc?
Do they hire people without a degree? And what type of work will I be doing at a post office?
Starting my first day at work in a warehouse in 45 minutes from now. I came to this video and it’s helped a lot by taking the nerve off my shoulders. Cheers man
Great to hear this video helped you ease your nerves. lol
How did it go for you Charlie?

So much drama :(
@@thekingman5971 I got anxiety going to work Saturday. Thanks.
I hadn't realized there was that much.
6:17 i just started my first day working at a lululemon warehouse and my dad is the head warehousr manager of a major liquor shipping warehouse company, as soon as i got home I told him i needed arch insoles and he rushed straight away to get me insoles . He knows what warehouse work is really like so i appreciate him a lot
Lol good to hear your dad got those soles for you asap.
They are very important in my opinion. Hopefully it made a difference for you Sawaski. 🤞🏽👍🏽
@@HumanEncoded for sure man.. yo it’s sick u respond to this day , do u think its better to go buy a $120 pair of steel toes or just grab some $50/$60/$70 pair off amazon? Cause im using my dads hand me downs and not only are they ugly(I know this isnt a fashion contest but i still wanna look good) and the wrong size, but they’re super heavy so they kill to walk around in. Should i go expensive or cheap?
@@SoSomyxa you should buy for comfort not price. I didn't wear boots at the warehouses I worked at.
If you must have steal toe checkout lightweight shoes like this from Amazon...

I've been a mail handler for usps for 17yrs and ALL of these are FACTS! I remember I made the mistake early on of wearing regular shoes to work...they didn't last long. They got tore up really fast. Not to mention, I could really feel the difference wearing the proper shoes. They feel much more comfortable and protected my feet and ankles a lot better on the work floor. I never thought of using shoe inserts though. I'm definitely going to try those!
Thanks for watching & giving validity to what I said about having good shoes Danielle!
You are a vet at USPS I see. Hope you are able to get that big payout once you retire. 💰🙂👍🏽
@@HumanEncoded My goal is financial freedom now so I can retire early because I don't want to be there another 20yrs. I want to enjoy my life NOW, you know? 😅 Like you said, it's hard to have a life when you work at places like that. Family just don't understand how exhausting (in EVERY way) it makes you.
@@inhabitantofearth Financial freedom is my goal as well so we definitely on the same page with that!

I no longer do warehouse work but I did for years and this video brings back nostalgic memories lol
My biggest issue with warehouse work is the low pay and little room for improvement/growth.
Back around 2017 I was making $10 an hour
I couldn't agree with you more. Low pay, little room for growth, & being over worked at most warehouse companies.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts 👍
Hell yeah I've been at ups for 16 years now also I have worked at FedEx and amazon so I now all about it get in and get out get the money and keep moving .
Most definitely, get in & out!

That pacing stuff was really good advice!!!! I worked at 110% for years and they just treat you like crap and expect more from you and stab you in the back....
Hate you had to experience that but glad you now know the best way to work in those environments.
They can take advantage of your willingness to want to work hard but in the long run you are wearing down your body. 🥵
Also for the dating aspect, certain places may not allow dating amongst coworkers. So if your going to date, make sure its not against the policy.
That's true... thanks for the heads-up 👍🏽
It’s none of their business a person can date anybody it’s called freedom
@@islami658 They also got the freedom to terminate your employment lmao
Just be work buddies, and hangout outside of work. Was simple.
Hell naw, "never dip your pen in the company ink." I've been there done that, never ends well.
Pretty solid advice.

This shit feels like high school all over again
It can have some high school type of clicks & fitting in but don't let that get in the way of getting your 💰.

Save up your sick days. Only use them when you're dead dog tired or have a pulled muscle.
Definitely once you use them it takes a min to get them back as a blue badge (Amazon).
Great content on discussing the essentials needed to work in the warehouse. Especially when explaining to pace yourself and drink plenty of water. Oh and the work drama. Don't nobody got time for that!
lol right, some ppl like the drama but I'm like you, I'm good on that! Thanks for watching Alisha!

@@anthony8779 Good to hear... thanks for the update bro 👍🏽
Anyone watching this, I had feet pain for nearly 10 years working in retail that never got better no matter what shoes or insoles I wore. The first 2 weeks after I received a pair of professional orthotic insoles, the feet pain was gone. Any shoe was comfortable, no more sore/throbbing feet after a long day or tight calves when walking for a few minutes. Work was easy and efficient, it wasn't a chore anymore. The chance you can afford it, which is highly expensive here in Australia for the office I went to but about roughly 40% can be deducted by private health insurance at $900AUD ($820 for assessment, scan, fitting and the insole itself, $80 for the appointment), I HIGHLY recommend going to an Podiatrist and getting custom made Orthotic insoles. It's expensive but it's worth it over the amount of different shoes I wasted money on trying to solve the issue myself.
This is great advice!
$800 AUD convert to roughly $585 dollars USD which is still pricey for some shoe inserts.
I have known people in the past that exactly have feet issues and can not wear just any shoe comfortably.
thanks so much my friends
My Pleasure... Thanks for Watching!! 🙂👍
Every point in this video is 100% accurate. Especially pacing yourself and the workplace drama. Just keep your head down, do the work and avoid those that gossip and bitch. I might add that getting a transparent rucksack or bag will speed up searches during shift changeovers.
Good idea on the clear bag.
Thanks for watching & sharing your knowledge. 💪💯
I start Monday at a fullfilment center and got told during my interview that they don't have AC so it's about 90-95 degrees during the whole summer and this video helped me alot
I'm glad to hear this video helps you.... It shouldn't be that hot inside the warehouse due to those huge fans they have. Hopefully it goes well for you my guy. 💪💯
Exactly why i quit 5 days ago. They use their best and fastest employees. Now I know why everyone i met quit long ago. And the snack shelves were always empty during break.
Lol yeap.... if they see you working hard they will continue to use you until you burnout or set your boundaries.
Wow ❤ love this
Great to hear... Thanks for watching Santos! 🙂👍

Any job that has automatic conveyors for freight to move down is a blessing. I would unload double trucks with 0 complaints
I left Target b/c the hours were just not a living wage at all, I was only a truck slave to them. Had to unload all the trucks pushing shit down at the same time b/c others were too lazy and just stood in their spot. I rather wear boots b/c your shoes will get beat up overtime very easily.
Sh!t, i'd rather be unemployed than work at another warehouse. This pandemic has made me reflect on whats more important in my life & busting my azz for $12 an hour damn sure aint it. If that makes me lazy then so be it.
I absolutely agree, but its so hard cause warehouse job and agencies have taken over all the job finding apps and websites.
Well said... The challenge is to find something you don't mine doing that's going to pay what you desire. 🤞🏽
$12 oh he'll nawl.. i make a hint over 20
It’s not lazy it’s knowing your worth. Warehouse jobs need to start at least 20 an hour for the hours they work you and how much on your body it is. I don’t disagree bc I looked for months for a job that wasn’t minimum wage. Found the post office. Got in thru the warehouse. I’ll work the holiday season then move on to a different position that pays more and it’s not the warehouse. They pay us so much less than the others as an MHA (warehouse) it’s crazy the work we do. BUT during the holiday season the overtime makes it worth it. Only way I’m making it thru is knowing that it’s temporary and everything else is nice it’s quiet there and they don’t micromanage at my location. Just my body feels horrid at the end of the day. That check with be worth it tho! Better than minimum wage. Next position I’ll be making more doing less.
@Sincerely Respectfully that's why a lot of these warehouses need to give up that next day delivery bs because they're working their employees too hard to fulfill it.
Appreciate it. ✌
My pleasure... thanks for watching! 💪🏾💯
Just started a cvs warehouse job, 1st day just got done , yaaaaaaa its a different kinda job from the others out there, but i like the being by myself part the best ( besides trainer)
Cool! Give us an update after working there in about a week. 💪🏾👍🏽
Will do!! On 15 min break now 2nd day pretty decent to, just repetitive, but i dont mind......so far lol😆
@@geraldwilkinson4287 Good to hear 👂🏽
Keep Grinding My Guy!! 💪🏾
Still work there?
Sometimes you just can't avoid the drama sometimes it comes to you.
This is true 💯
Also, great video, actually kinda made me happy after my 1st day of work lol
Thanks Gerald! Glad this video brought you value...
Hopefully everything goes well for you while working your warehouse job. 💪🏾👍🏽
I prefer leather gloves..Either way Rubber or leather constantly picking up cardboard boxes will dry out your hands. Switch to a good pair of 8" boots. Good ankle support. Also if the sole is wore out and you are still wearing it you have worn it to long. Also Don't get hurt. Be smart about lifting.
Good advice, thanks for your comment. 👍🏽
Great video!! ☺️💯👍
Thanks Shannon! Glad you enjoyed the video. 😁
@@HumanEncoded You're welcome! 😊 I did!! ❤ Trying to get a job at Amazon,and I have an appointment tomorrow!

@@HumanEncoded Ok,and that's great!! :) I will definitely do that and alright! 😉
This helps a lot big dog !!
That's great to hear... thanks for watching Nicholas! 💯
Shoes: Hoka One One Bondi series ( I think they are on the Bondi 7 now) in black. These are like walking on clouds. Yes, they are expensive, around $150, but well worth it.
Also, socks. I never thought I'd be one to wear $20 socks...but the Darn Tough wool socks are worth the money, and they will replace them free if you wear them out.
Ok cool, I'll have to look them up... Thanks for sharing this bro 👍
Darn Tough all the way!
COOL G RAPP, that's why I'm in the bed right now and that is exact what they do, they keep switching me for different areas and working with different people but I don't get promote and that's the problem I do great work and I'm not reaching any goals that's while I'm there.
If you know the positions you want to work make sure to let them know.
It seem like they put me in position that most ppl wanted once they found out I had another job & me letting them know what I didn't like doing.
But most of all don't over work yourself.
Your 1st year will always be unpredictable.
@@itsrelativ3967 That's true... also you have to set boundaries with them so they won't try to over work you.
I get a drink before going into my shift, it makes me feel good.
That sounds like a good way to start the shift. :)
Short term that will effect you long term.. fell on my tail bone back in 2016 pulling a pallet jack over a slippery floor trying to go 110, body has not been the same every since. I was only 18 fresh youngin
Wow! That's very unfortunate that happened to you bro.
Did FedEx give you workers comp?
Thanks so much for these it has put my mind at ease. God bless and keep you. You know how they say that people's attention span is short these days? They say people have less attention span than goldfish. No joke. But it is funny. I think when you are interested in learning something YOU LISTEN! LOL and you do not have a problem with attention span. This was the effect you had on me.
My Pleasure!
I'm really happy to hear you got value in watching this video!
Our attention span will decrease even more over time due to all the content to consume at our finger tips.
Totally agree that ppl will watch what interest them, no matter how long it is.
You have help motive me to continue going down this content creation journey.....
Thanks A Million Pastor Gibney! :)
@@HumanEncoded By the way what back brace would you recommend?
@Stephen Gibney I use one similar to this.... amzn.to/3N9IF6G
A little thing like comfortable shoes goes a long way. You cant think and do your job with ease if you're constantly thinking about how bad your feet hurt
You are absolutely right about managers anyplace that learn you are a fast worker. They are going to exploit you for more labor at the same pay essentially so don't overstep your means bc there is really no reward one the other end other than possibly getting injured then you won't be able to work at all
What you said is all FACT! 👏🏽💯
Thanks for watching & commenting Andrew 👍
Shoes are 💯 important
Most definitely... thanks for cosigning/ confirming this 💯👍
Yes! Never date ANYONE where you work. Rumors travel very fast from one end of the warehouse to the other end!😃
Facts! lol 😄
I was thinking you were gonna say "Their might be a shorty you like at work" yet you kept it professional. JK it was great and I learned a lot thanx.
Lmbo! Yea I tried to keep it professional like. Maybe I'll get a little more candid in my future videos. 🤷🏽
Really appreciate you checking this video out bro! 💯
The warehouse I work at is usps and I like everything but how my feet and legs feel at the end of the day. We are go getters in my family so sometimes it’s hard not to overdo it at work but I def need to. It’s never that serious lol
Yea I have to sometimes slow myself down when I realize I'm overworking myself in an unhealthy way.
I have to remind myself health is wealth & can't enjoy money when you in the hospital for over working
I work at the usps building that’s 2nd biggest in America and my feet only kill me like last 2 hours so I feel you on the feet part everything else smooth probably easiest warehouse job you can work tbh
Thanks man, They just sent my background check to fill out, how long after do you get hired? They already talked to me about what time I would like to work.
It should just take some days to get the results. If you don't hear from them within a week I would call to check the status.
Not sure when you will start working b/c it varies depending on location.
Ive been working in warehouse for 8 months. Things i have learned ,
Eat shit loads of food, go to the gym and keep strong especially back and legs,hype yourself up listen to some bangers or audiobook,get up well before your shift, take ashwagandha. rhodiola rosea before the second half of shift that stuff is a nap in pill form, zone out just work hard but not too hard,time will go faster. Everything in this video
Was a big help when i started👌💪💪🚀
You have just broke down the blueprint for success working in any warehouse!
Haven't heard if those pills but hopefully they are safe & legal lol
Thanks for taking the time to write this & watch this video! 💪🏾💯
@@HumanEncoded yeah they are safe, nootropic herbs.check em out if your interested, they have been a great help for me 👍💪
@@keobaker4232 oh ok cool... thanks for the info. I'll have to check it out then.👍🏽
Sketchers are the best shoes to wear in a warehouse on those hard concrete floors. Plus they design their shoes every year to fit for workers in many different careers outdoor & indoor.
I totally agree! I've been rocking sketchers for years now & love how much comfort it gives my feet.
Like walking on air! lol 😁
Get Your Own Pair Here! (Amazon).... 👟👇

I'm getting Sketchers next year, this year I got another brand and they feel hard on my feet.
@@MariaEspinal-pg4pn Yea Sketchers are great when it come to comfort while working warehouse type jobs.
Having a good shoe it key! 🔑
Thanks for sharing Maria! :)
USPS ALL THE WAY!!!
Never worked there so I'll take your word for it. 🙂
Great video!! I work at Lush distro and I pretty much run all the transfer picking, receiving and stocking from retail distribution side to the digital side upstairs. I would say the following have been essential for me:
Mental math skills. I’ve always been decent at math but I learned how to do a lot of in my head by working for a third-party inventory company for a few years. But also just by practising doing multiples and addition in my head has been amazing and always blows peoples minds how fast I can count a skid
Being proactive and asking the right questions has taught me a lot. And attention to details. I’ve learned that the more I understand about how the company works and how all sorts of processes and machines run the better I can do my job. Along with that is problem solving and investigation in the inventory
I honestly love it and I don’t want to be promoted just yet. I love just making a difference and I feel like passion is an undervalued tool as well :)
This is great insight coming from someone who loves doing what that do while working at a warehouse.
Hopefully this helps ppl when they read this.
Thanks for sharing! 👍🏽
@@HumanEncoded No problem! I hope so too :) I will also add: Be respectful and courteous to other people, and try to help them as much as possible
