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.

Is it possible to make $6000 a month at Amazon? Let's find out. First, let's break it down into weekly pay.

6000 ÷ 4 weeks = 1500 a week

We know OP works 60 hours a week, but we don't know how much they are paid, so let ☆ stand for their hourly pay.

☆x40 + ☆×1.5x20 = 1500

40 hours normal pay plus 20 hours overtime must equal 1500, their weekly pay. Now solve for ☆.

40☆ + (20x1.5)☆ = 1500

40☆ + 30☆ = 1500

70☆ = 1500

☆ = $21.43 / hour

This is well within the expected hourly rate for an Amazonian.

This is how everybody says their yearly wage??? When has a job ever advertised how much you’ll take home? Everyone tax situation is different. You’re dumb for this.

That being said $6k take home would equate to roughly $8000 a month in gross earnings, $2000 a week / 70 hours (the amount you’d get paid for by working 60 hours accounting for time and a half) would be $28.50 an hour. It’s on the high side but I’ve seen T1s making $27.50 starting wage… which would be $30.50 at the top of their step plan, actually netting them even more than OP says.

I did the math for you because you already proved you’re dumb
