I work at one of the largest package/shipping company’s in the game, but to give y’all a better understanding of the workload without spilling too many beans, I specifically work the largest warehouse location in the WORLD for this company.
prior to peak season we’d work 5-6 hours a day, with a decent volume of 500-700k.
during peak season our daily volume would range between 800k & 3M, still working 5-6 hours + T&AH on your 6th day & DT on your 7th (if you were chosen (but that’s another story for another day)).
BUT since peak season ended they’ve cut hours and have been doing it gradually since January. we used to work 10/10:30-3:30/4, now we’re starting as late as 12/12:30 & still leaving at 3:30/4… same volumes (500-700k), but now there’s less employees cause of the shitty hours, more stress and more heat. i really hate it in that damn warehouse & can’t wait to get the hell on but today was one of those days that just really burned my biscuits.
i’m an admin so while i don’t do the “heavy lifting” i work directly next to those who do and they get shat on DAILY. the worse part is the fact that they always wait til the last hour/90 mins to send the bulk of the load, making it more stressful, fast paced, tiring and dare i say unbearable. y’all say a prayer for these loaders, cause they need it.
