An Amazon employee named Kendall was fired after posting a TikTok video where he expressed his frustration about having to lift heavy boxes at the warehouse. In the video, he appears to make fun of the situation on finding that the boxes contained water instead of something heavier.
Kendall, who has more than 35,000 followers on TikTok, posted the video in the first week of December after performing an extra shift as a picker at the warehouse. After being fired, he posted on TikTok that he had lost his job because he had tried to discourage people from buying heavy items from Amazon, as he was exhausted from lifting heavy boxes.
In another TikTok video after his termination, Kendall wondered why the clip, which he thought was humorous and enjoyed by most, could be considered offensive. He clarified that the over exaggeration in the video was just for fun and that he did not intend to upset anyone. He apologized to those who found the video offensive and asked for forgiveness, saying that he had only tried to make a funny video and had already paid a heavy price for it by losing his job of seven years.
In the video, Kendall is seen working an extra shift at the warehouse, lifting boxes and finding most of them to contain dog food or Fiji water. He jokingly asked people to stop purchasing water on Amazon and instead walk to a nearby store to buy it immediately. He also joked about why people would want to wait for a couple of days to get their water when they could just stop being lazy and buy it themselves.
