☆ I love my job in an Amazon warehouse. I thrive in the chaos, but I did need hand surgery for carpal-tunnel syndrome.

An older Amazon worker shared their experience preparing for peak periods at the warehouse. At my warehouse, a week before peak period starts, all the equipment is serviced in anticipation of the busiest time of the year. With increased orders, there are more boxes to pack and most people are very stressed, but I really enjoy it. During Black Fridays and other peak periods, Amazon gives out incentivesAmazon used to give out $50 Amazon gift cards during peak periods. Are you an Amazon worker with a story to tell?
☆ I started the Elf on the Shelf with my mom and sister. We self-published a book and took on credit-card debt to turn our family tradition into a business.

Lieutenant Sean Carter is a public-affairs officer who runs the NORAD Tracks Santa program. The tradition started by accident in 1955, and now an average of 1,500 volunteers help every year. I'm also the NORAD Tracks Santa program manager. Before taking over as the NORAD Tracks Santa program manager, I briefly worked in public affairs at Space Base Delta 1 — a Space Force unit responsible for installations all around the globe. NORAD has other events, but for the past 67 years, one of the Department of Defense's largest outreach events has been NORAD Tracks Santa.
☆ I'm a lawyer who's helping laid-off Amazon and Facebook employees deal with visa issues. Here's how I advocate for them.

She says laid-off visa holders can consider a self-employed visa if they want to start a business. Initially I didn't want to practice immigration law, thinking that because I'm an empath it would pull at my heartstrings all the time. I've helped many entrepreneurs, business owners, and startup founders successfully obtain an H-1B visa with their own company as their sponsor. L-1 visa holders don't have the same option as H-1B visa holders to transfer their visas to another company. That's my new mission: using my voice as an immigration lawyer to push for tangible and immediate change.
☆ I choose the Rockefeller Christmas tree every year. Here's how I spot the perfect spruce and get it ready for NYC.

Erik Pauze is the head gardener at Rockefeller Center, and he chooses the Christmas tree each year. I also have another major responsibility: I choose the perfect tree for Christmas every year. There's one major attribute that I look for when searching for the perfect tree: a tree you would want in your living room, but on a much larger scaleThe 2021 Rockefeller Christmas tree. This year's tree is a Norway Spruce that's 82 feet tall, 50 feet in diameter, and weighs approximately 14 tonsThe 2022 Christmas tree arriving in Rockefeller Center.

☆ I'm an Amazon warehouse worker. I love the Black Friday chaos, but I needed hand surgery after working the packer line, and the raffle-ticket 'incentives' are kind of a joke.

☆ I'm an Amazon warehouse worker. When I'm tired and in pain from standing all day on Prime Day, I remind myself the money's good.

A Staten Island Amazon employee shares how "stowers" prepare for Amazon Prime Day in the warehouse. Being a warehouse worker close to Prime Day is crazy. About a week before Prime Day, we make sure that we start the shift with empty pods. It's the same schedule, leading up to Prime Day, just way more work and intensity. You have more pressure because Prime Day orders are usually "reactive" — or time sensitive — orders.
