Amazon Christmas Peak.

Well it is that time of year for me.last week I worked about 54 hours this week is 48 and next two weeks will be 60 hours. Early last month we were not even sure what things were going to look like since the economy is not so good. I even saw a plan from one of the big chiefs that showed us only working 40 hour weeks through till the week of Christmas. Then about two weeks ago that all changed. They offered voluntery overtime the week of Thanksgiving so I took it. I also worked thanksgiving so that turned into double overtime. On top of that we are working 12 hour days. Though I start a little early becasue I have to do Truck Audits so I work 12.5 hours, did I also mention that on Wednsdays and Thrusdays I go from work to Church becuase I need to help with Tithing Settlement.
During the course of the day I am called on to help train people on various functions. It can be anything from Printing out packing slips to Packing the boxes to picking, just to name a few functions. I had one day were I was trying to train 20 people on 4 different pack lines. I got them up and running though.
After all is said and done with the amount of people we have there it is like organized chaos. I love it. I love the interaction I have with all the temps that come in. I also like that even the big wigs sometimes look to me for advice. I also will admit I look forward to post peak when things slow down for a little bit. Hope everyone has a merry Merry Christmas
