Warehouse Aspies!

Post Reply New Topic

Ever since June of 2014, I've been employed at a warehouse. In the beginning, I had some misgivings about the nature of the work, particularly the perceived monotony and the physical demands. However, as I grew into my function, I am more and more enjoying warehouse work. Yes, I would most prefer if I could work at a warehouse that distributed a product I could truly feel proud of, but I'm all right with the commodities we distribute right now.

My function is very physical; I mainly stack boxes on pallets by hand. But I am quite good at it and am in the process of ever perfecting my system. My superiors and co-workers appreciate me for it, and I share pleasant working relations with many of them. I go to work with a happy demeanour and go home with a feeling of satisfaction.

Do you work at a warehouse, and if so do you like or dislike it or how do you experience it in general? Do you view it as something you will be doing on long term, or just temporarily before you move on to a different kind of profession? As for me, I certainly wouldn't mind if I could continue to work in production/logistics.

true story i do work in a warehouse been working there for about 4 months the work is pretty routine we get trucks i unload them with a crew of 8 people very chill laid back people out of those 8. three of us are considerd hard workers im one of them other people are a bit lazy use there phone too much ect. i do enjoy the work because its physical i dont like staying still. managers are really nice they dont bother you much as long as your working. honestly though i dont plan on doing this too long ive done construction in the past quit because i moved states yes it is hard work but it pays off. i make 10 an hour here at the warehouse and thats not enough for the lifestlyle i live but for now its all i got. im trying to get in contact with old co workers from construction see who has work. construction is great but make sure you get 8 hours of sleep and eat 3 big meals a day or else you wont be as fit for it. find the right boss not too demanding not too hard of work or low pay. cause making 300-600 dollars a week dosent cut it for me yea its work thats easy low anxiety. but trust me life is way esier when you bust your ass and make 800-1200 a week at least for me it is.

I worked at a warehouse for 8 years due to being placed after being placed by supported employment. It would be very pleasant and laid back. It was only when I learned that they were not going to move me forward to learn new things that I grew to hate it thanks to the ignorance and closed-mindedness there. I was also mistreated by a lot of my former co-workers. Luckily, I got laid off and finally got out.

I worked at two warehouses when I was in between jobs while at a temp agency. For the most part, I would say it's good entry level work for people who don't want to do jobs that require a ton of social interaction. A bit repetitive but they were jobs I was able to work at where I didn't have to worry about being bothered all the time. If you work for the right company, you can make a decent living. I work in sales now but the company I work at now pays their warehouse employees very well but they also work 3pm to sometimes 4-5am so that sometimes is 12+ hours. I'd say it's a job that certainly is not for the lazy but a job for people who don't mind working hard and don't have to worry about dealing with many people.
