Amazon worker fired after complaining about lifting heavy items on TikTok

An Amazon employee of 7 years revealed that he’s been fired from his job after he complained about picking up customer’s 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’ heavy orders in a video posted online.

“Hi guys, I have some bad news. Uh, Amazon done fired my dumbass. Seven long years down the drain just like that,” he said in the clip. “I made a video about four weeks ago where I told people to stop buying heavy items from Amazon because, as an Amazon worker, I’m tired of lifting heavy items.”

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.

“Most people took it as a joke, especially if you work at Amazon, you knew that I was kind of over-exaggerating… but a lot of people were offended by my video,” he said.

“Especially people who are disabled or people who are older… I do wanna say, if you were offended by that video, I am sorry. I never meant to offend anyone or discriminate against anyone.”

Although Kendall made a follow-up clip apologizing for his original video, the consequences of the post were swift and severe. “I already lost my job, and I am ineligible for rehire, so please forgive me,” he said.

Many TikTok users in the comments were devastated by the news of Kendall’s termination, as they enjoyed watching his Amazon-related content.

“Dang you be making me laugh on my breaks at Amazon noooooo,” one person wrote. “Nooo your videos helped me through peak times,” another said.

“Bro what?!? Hell naw it’s comeback season my boy,” a third commented. “Keep your head up and when one door closes another opens.”
