The sense of accomplishment comes from the completion of the project and the achievement of performance targets, not the act of overtime itself. The daily work content of Amazon operators sometimes requires overtime all night during the peak season. But after the peak season, there are few things to do. If you work efficiently for 8 hours a day, there is no need to work overtime at all.
Blind overtime is not very meaningful, and in the end you can only move yourself. Rather than working overtime desperately, it is better to talk about how to make more efficient use of the 8 hours during the day. Here I would like to ask all operators, when you become habitually inefficient, don’t you feel scared?
Don’t waste time on ineffective socializing. At the beginning of 2020, some companies and Amazon’s official investment promotion team formed a QQ group for opening stores around the world. In the QQ group, many people like to chat, and they chat about some “industry gossip” and other content, and often chat for an afternoon. Once I observed carefully and found that there are two types of people chatting: one is various service providers, and the other is Amazon operators. It is part of the job for service providers to chat online. They need to obtain customers in this way, which is understandable. But Amazon operators often chat and make friends in QQ groups, and during working hours, which is really a waste of time and ineffective social interaction.
The point is that most of the friends who sing the same tune with you are Amazon service providers. Many operators always like to hint themselves when chatting, thinking that this is to expand interpersonal relationships in the same industry while learning operational knowledge. Think carefully, can people who can chat with you for nothing be considered high-quality resources? This behavior is just a waste of your time. I hope readers will not waste time doing some ineffective social interaction at work.
