When reflexes acquired in your job are invading your daily life.

-When i was an intern in a retail, i had to fight against the urge to store the shelves during my own shopping sessions.

    Used to be an Amazon delivery driver. Cursed with the knowledge of what all those stickers mean on my packages.

    Also you’ll start noticing their massive delivery trucks everywhere.

        The yellow sticker usually correspond to what tote they belong in and the order they’re in for the delivery route, first thing you typically do is unpack a tote in the truck and sort them by number for ease of access.

        My brain wants to trigger this sorting mode whenever I grab my packages, and it just reminds me of that terrible job.

        Amazon has a system of desperate contractor companies that are absolutely reliant on amazon since they own the warehouses, trucks, and everything, but are also a moment away from having their contract ended, basically destroying the company. As a result you’re not really respected even if your employer tries hard to, they just can’t care for employees at risk of dissolving.
