how long @Revengekkid has been working with Amazon, but he said in the TikTok video he didn\u2019t initially realize how fast-paced the delivery driver position could be. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey tell you you can walk and chill all day, but really you have to run . . . or at least jog,\u201d he stated, referring to the sheer number of packages he was expected to deliver during a shift.<\/p>\n<p>The second piece of inside information similarly referred to the frenetic pace of the position, with @Revengekidd claiming he would never finish on time if he took all of his allotted breaks.

But they don\u2019t tell you that if you do take your breaks and your lunch, you will not get done in time,\u201d he declared. <\/p>\n<p>The third and final detail the driver wished he knew about Amazon was the fact that some of their delivery vans are not equipped with air conditioning. <\/p>\n<p>The video racked up thousands of views, prompting @Revengekkid to make <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@revengekkid\/video\/7074749461016300846?is_copy_url=1&amp;is_from_webapp=v1\">a second video with three more tidbits about his position.<\/a> <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-tiktok wp-block-embed-tiktok\"\/>\n<p>In that clip, the driver said he wished he knew how much longer it took to deliver packages to apartment buildings as opposed to residential homes.  <\/p>\n<p>Secure entrances and complicated drop-off instructions inside apartment buildings often slow the delivery process down, he claimed. <\/p>\n<p>Secondly, @Revengekidd said that he wished he knew that he was expected to help co-workers complete their delivery runs if he h<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>ened to finish his shift early. <\/p>\n<p>Finally, he griped about \u201cgroup stops,\u201d whereby multiple houses close together count as a single delivery. He alleged that the tactic added to the volume of work he was expected to complete.<\/p>\n<p>The Post has reached out to Amazon for comment about @Revengekidd\u2019s claims. <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/amazon-10.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1024\" alt=\"Work perks! @Revengekkid claimed there were elements of his job that he loved  \u2014 including VTO. \" class=\"wp-image-21464967\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/amazon-10.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1535 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/amazon-10.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/amazon-10.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Work perks! @Revengekkid claimed there were elements of his job that he loved  \u2014 including Voluntary Time Off, or VTO. <\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">David Ryder<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>However, the employee maintains that there are upsides to working with the e-commerce giant. <\/p>\n<p>In a <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@revengekkid\/video\/7077351607683255595?is_copy_url=1&amp;is_from_webapp=v1\">separate TikTok clip<\/a>, he listed three things he enjoys about his Amazon job. <\/p>\n<p>The driver said he enjoys the fact that he still gets his full 40 hours of pay per week even if he finishes his delivery runs early and only actually clocks in 32 hours worth of work. <\/p>\n<p>Additionally, @Revengekidd declared he likes the independence of the job and the fact that \u201cno one was on his a \u2013 -\u201d all day. <\/p>\n<p>His third and favorite perk of working with Amazon is VTO \u2014 or voluntary time off \u2014 where employees can take unpaid time off without any kind of penalty.\n                        <\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
