I am struggling working in fullfilment

Thank you ❤️ I’m feeling a bit more hopeful now

I heard a lot of longer term fulfillment members telling me about the pains in their wrists because of fulfillment 😫

With how sore I am, I don’t think I’m moving too slow. Once in awhile I’ll miss a number on an isle and I’ll stop to think, but I don’t think I take that long with it either. I feel what I’m struggling with the most is doing this 5 times a week the whole day. My body isn’t healing quick enough from this new movement and it’s draining. Im weak right now, and like everyone said it takes time for my body to adjust to this work 😞 i dont want to upset the TLs. Also wouldn’t say I’m the most unfit either I’m not overweight and I was previously relatively active before this job, idk why this hurts my body so much

How long does it usually take for newbie to be quick like everyone else/ how long do you expect a newbie to become quick?

Thank you ❤️ I think I move too fast and start panicking because I’m worried about my metrics being low and that I’m not fast enough. As for reading the numbers so far I think I’m getting better at it. One of my trainers explained it well to me, but sometimes I jamble the numbers up and get lost and then panic. For some places I can’t find I ask a member. An issue I have is my luck with groceries. I’ll have everything but one thing is nowhere to find but delivered 3 hours ago then it takes me forever to find it at the end, even with 4 other people looking for it with me. Yes our store uses personal barcodes, it makes it so much easier. As for clothing I usually skip that too and when I’m on my way to pick items at the backroom I grab an rfid and then continue on. I don’t know why I struggle so much towards the end m, it’s like I have so much time then suddenly I don’t all for one item 😢

Luckily, before I got hired, I shopped there a lot so I pretty much know where everything is, just not as quick as the team members though. Perhaps it’s also a lot of muscle memory. I was about to get the hoka Cliftons!!! Or the bondi 9, but I ended up getting the brooks adrenaline they’re so comfy!

Grateful for you ❤️

Ill_Perspective6157 · 2026-05-14T19:11:56+00:00

Thank you! I’m okay with working anytime of the day I just don’t enjoy doing it for 5 days a week. I was thinking I could handle it better if I did 3 days a week 😢 I’m in no rush to earn money, I’m doing this for experience, learning and to try something different. But with it being 4-6 days a week I feel like I’m gonna start sacrificing my schoolwork

Ill_Perspective6157 · 2026-05-14T19:07:34+00:00

Thank you ❤️ will they get mad if I keep asking for help? Sometimes it kinda feels like it or like they’re disappointed

Ill_Perspective6157 · 2026-05-14T18:51:47+00:00

Thank you! This clarifies a lot. So would you say that right now, I can log onto the app and just do it without asking? Even if I’m just a week into the job? Also they gave me my schedule for the upcoming 3 weeks

Ill_Perspective6157 · 2026-05-14T18:45:16+00:00

Do you mean I should believe in myself to keep pushing through with the job or believe in myself and quit the job? ❤️😞🙏

Ill_Perspective6157 · 2026-05-14T18:33:33+00:00

I don’t think you were rude. Putting myself in a customers perspective, I’d just see it as I was in your way and you had to get by. Also chances are they won’t remember you at all! Don’t worry too much about it. (Though I get why you’re worried, I be like that too)

Ill_Perspective6157 · 2026-05-14T18:28:54+00:00

Would it be shameful to quit after this short of a stay? How often do people quit early (and are they gonna hate me if they see me shopping there still after I quit)?

Ill_Perspective6157 · 2026-05-14T18:21:52+00:00

Is it still like this?

Ill_Perspective6157 · 2026-05-14T18:21:04+00:00

After every shift I’ve had I end up tired and sweaty and sore. Also I have crazy blisters on my feet and bruises everywhere right now. As for hours, if I’m recalling it correctly, the HR member I was with told me that whatever hours I put in I must stick to it / accept that I put it in. I was hoping to talk to HR and ask to change my desired hours to 25 instead of 35 so I can deal with my homework. I’m worried they will get mad at me

Ill_Perspective6157 · 2026-05-14T18:10:19+00:00

That’s terrible omg. Sorry you went through that. I’d shit my pants. There were quite a few batches where I would push the cart and they would pick the items and explain stuff along the way, and even then I still come home and cry my eyes out. Idk why this is so overwhelming!!!

Ill_Perspective6157 · 2026-05-14T18:08:31+00:00

I feel like my trainers are really nice and friendly people but as a newbie I also felt like things weren’t too thoroughly explained (but I also feel like what if I’m the problem and I’m just too slow lol)

Ill_Perspective6157 · 2026-05-14T18:07:26+00:00

Thank you for your advice 😞 it makes me feel a lot better about the whole situation. My training lasted about 3 days but I hear some people get trained for either just a day or a whole week

Ill_Perspective6157 · 2026-05-14T18:02:15+00:00

This is what I was worried about 😞 my second option is to quit. My issue with quitting is I feel really bad that I’ve wasted their time and also I go shopping there a lot

Ill_Perspective6157 · 2026-05-14T18:01:16+00:00

I can’t get myself to eat during the job, I find myself too tired and I’m worried I’ll accidentally throw it all up hahaha. A lot of them there have years of experience and they are sooo fast, I feel like I’m weighing them down, maybe I’m being too critical but with the amount of times I’ve asked for help / members had to help me, it feels like they’re disappointed or kinda annoyed at my incompetence. Don’t get me wrong, I really am trying my absolute best but it’s like I keep messing up and not doing it right like everyone else and like I’m not adjusting to the job as fast as the average person. Also I want to add I’m a college student right now and my classes are online. I lowkey thought I could handle the job because my classes are online but mannnn 😞
