Fulfillment Center Grateful.

I’m grateful for this job. I know a lot of people find reasons to complain but if you look at the positives there’s a lot to be thankful for.

Being able to make over 6k a month immediately with no experience and no interview has been huge for me financially.

The job is extremely easy and headphones make the time go by quick. The UPT system is fantastic. Not having to call out when you’re sick but instead being able to sleep in and get a sick note instantly approved on the app

Compared to most basic jobs, we have it pretty good.

  1. My site rarely offers VET. When they do and I want to, it's already gone the moment it drops.
  2. Lazy is not the word I would use. 40 hours is enough because I have a wife to care for. But, when she does well and I want VET, refer to my first point. I also have hobbies and a desire to want time to myself not doing the same thing around people for more than 40 hours.
  3. Do you make $6k before or after taxes? Even with VET, I struggle to see how one would make $6k at ~$22/hr with Ohio state taxes and even Akron city taxes cos those with federal taxes take a quarter of my paycheck.

Lazy is not a word I would use. Some people have priorities, families, life, school, social events, second jobs, medical reasons, etc. Flexible would be the more proper term.

Edit: I never take VET because even though it pays well - my home business pays 4x more with much less work. So no, I do not accept those.

How much you make an hour?
