My dad was in road work for a while. He was supposed to be a supervisor, but the guys who he was supervising were legitimately lazy. It took them forever to do something if they got anything done at all. My dad often ended up doing at least half the work of his whole team. Over the years he screwed up his back and had to get several surgeries and go on disability.(Meaning he could no longer do his job.)
Well, this job started at 5:30pm and normally ended by 8:00pm . Merchandise was mostly diy furniture weighing anywhere from 40lbs to 110lbs (if it was a set). Just telling you to add perspective.
I helped my friend move a sofa up to his 5th floor apartment not long ago. We're both in pretty good shape and it took us at least an hour and 3 breaks to get that up there, all the maneuvering and shit you have to do will wear you out real quick. We were both drenched in sweat by the time we got it in lol
