Don't know the exact term but I work at a "last mile" warehouse, basically the place where already packaged items go to be sorted and put onto trucks for delivery. It's a smaller warehouse but it is a warehouse. All I do is sort packages.

And yeah I'm confused too. I avoided getting a job there for years because of all the horror stories. But my experience has been quite the opposite. Even the notorious "suicide booths" aren't what the news makes them out to be. They're literally just a phone booth.

IDK maybe my warehouse is just different. I have no idea.

Reading about it a bit more, they also try to drive their office employees as hard as they can but it's not as effective because of the smaller labor pool and nature of the work.

And congrats to you for finding a nice place!
