These jobs are soulless and back breaking.

I've heard ups is better

>>61292783 (OP)
I worked there before and it was fucking crazy. 10 hours a day literally being worked like a horse lifting heavy as fuck shit nonstop and some faggot manager told me to hurry up once because I wasn't literally running to the next truck to unload once so I just quit lmao

At least it's not Amazon

Is it really 10 hours every day for the whole month? Sundays are usually dead at my warehouse.

Cabada post here. If it's your first Christmas and you've got like 6months of experience. You'll be fine but yes you'll be earning every penny of your paycheck. If you're brand new. You may breakdown one of the first days and quit on the spot.

I heard the blacks there don't have to do any work and the managers can't do anythings about it.

What a humiliating position to be in. We're praying for you, OP.

My Fedex driver has remained alive for years.

Ok,
So i've been working in shipping and logistics for 7 years.

FedEx Ground sucks balls, like the worst of all the large companies. UPS is a lot better, if you want a career it's the strongest union in the industry.

Amazon is the same but safer and pays better than FedEx ground.

Currently I work as a doubles driver for a unionized regional bakery.

we're talking about package handlers not delivery.

>>61292783 (OP)
Every year without fail someone dies at FedEx during peak season, usually run over by a baggage train.

>>61292783 (OP)
I left Fedex after being a switcher for like 8 years.
It's usually very busy, but last peak and the peak before that were almost dead.
Everyone will be high strung. The handlers are getting yelled at by their ops manager, the ops manager is getting yelled at by the sort manager, the sort manager is getting yelled at by the hub manager. And it's all because the infrastructure of the building can't accommodate the inflow of business.

How does Fedex do all that but still manage to identify and steal all the expensive packages?

>Consumer sentiment fell back about 6% this November, led by a 17% drop in current personal finances and a 11% decline in year-ahead expected business conditions. With the federal government shutdown dragging on for over a month, consumers are now expressing worries about potential negative consequences for the economy. This month’s decline in sentiment was widespread throughout the population, seen across age, income, and political affiliation.

>One key exception: consumers with the largest tercile of stock holdings posted a notable 11% increase in sentiment, supported by continued strength in stock markets.

It's going to be a sad Christmas. In contrast, it should be a great Hanukkah.

Halloween was sad too. Candy is too expensive and most families would rather stay inside.
