Amazon worker fired after complaining about lifting heavy items on TikTok TIKTOK: thatamazonguyy \/ UNSPLASHAn Amazon employee of 7 years revealed that he\u2019s been fired from his job after he complained about picking up customer\u2019s heavy packages on TikTok. In a viral clip with over 512,000 views, TikToker Kendall (thatamazonguyy) claimed that he got axed because he moaned about having to carry customers\u2019 heavy orders in a video posted online. \u201cHi guys, I have some bad news. Uh, Amazon done fired my dumbass. Seven long years down the drain just like that,\u201d he said in the clip. \u201cI made a video about four weeks ago where I told people to stop buying heavy items from Amazon because, as an Amazon worker, I\u2019m tired of lifting heavy items.\u201d The content creator explained that although most viewers found the humor in the video, others, such as senior citizens who rely on online shopping for heavy items, were offended by it. \u201cMost people took it as a joke, especially if you work at Amazon, you knew that I was kind of over-exaggerating\u2026 but a lot of people were offended by my video,\u201d he said. \u201cEspecially people who are disabled or people who are older\u2026 I do wanna say, if you were offended by that video, I am sorry. I never meant to offend anyone or discriminate against anyone.\u201d Although Kendall made a follow-up clip apologizing for his original video, the consequences of the post were swift and severe. \u201cI already lost my job, and I am ineligible for rehire, so please forgive me,\u201d he said. Many TikTok users in the comments were devastated by the news of Kendall\u2019s termination, as they enjoyed watching his Amazon-related content. \u201cDang you be making me laugh on my breaks at Amazon noooooo,\u201d one person wrote. \u201cNooo your videos helped me through peak times,\u201d another said. \u201cBro what?!? Hell naw it\u2019s comeback season my boy,\u201d a third commented. \u201cKeep your head up and when one door closes another opens.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
