Any advice for when you’re feeling burnt out but need money?
Short answer: basically the title, any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Long story: I’ve been with Amazon for six and a half years, started at one DS and transferred to another after that one closed. After my dad passed away in mid-2024 we had to sell our house and I’ve been on my own since. My attendance since transferring to my current site has never been where I want it to be but as of late I really need the money but my motivation to even just go in hasn’t been where I want it to be. I’d love to transfer to another station but it doesn’t seem like many, if any, opportunities are open currently. That and while the atmosphere of my current station is starting to become pretty toxic as of late I do love the friends I’ve made and still work with over the years, so there’s a loyalty aspect too. I also would prefer to not leave Amazon entirely for now because I’m using Career Choice towards WGU and I like that school way too much to want to quit suddenly. I have an intermittent LOA through my doctor and I really appreciate it, but the problem there is it’s currently for the full shift up to two times a week but I can’t really afford to take even just one day off at this point. If anything, I don’t think the 1:20am to 11:50am schedule is really working for me anymore, and I’m probably going to change my schedule to something more manageable by the end of the year, but I wanted to see if anyone had any suggestions in the meantime.
