There have been no shortage of complaints about the culture and reality of working at Amazon, but there are also some videos out there that make working in one of their warehouses sound like the ideal job.
The latter sort is what made TikTok user @arguewitchabdnotme take a job there, but now she says she regrets it.

She says that in reality, the job is nothing like people make it seem like on social media and, wearing clown makeup, talks about her own experience.
“Me thinking I was gonna work at Amazon as a picker and stand in one place like the ppl on TikTok.”
The video has over 1.1 million views, and in the captions, she talks about walking “10 miles a mfkn shift.”

According to CLIMB, if she worked as a picker she would be,
“Responsible for getting items from shelves and packaging them for shipment.
The job of an Amazon picker requires a lot of physical stamina.
They must be able to stand for long periods of time while performing repetitive motions with their arms and hands.
The pace is also fast-paced as they are expected to retrieve items quickly and efficiently.”
In the comments, there was no shortage of current and former Amazon employees backing up OP’s experience.
Another said it wasn’t fun at all.

No word on whether or not she’s still with the company.
Maybe she’s waiting on that 6 month bonus before she makes the call.
