Shawn had things come easy to him like making friends, dating, and excelling at work. Cory had to learn to accept he wasn't going to be good at everything a lesson Shawn didnt learn. Shawn had trauma but I dont know when he overcame it. He lashed out a lot at people and saddled other people with his problems. Cory had way more learning experiences

I think its cool that his sister learned how to cook so she could be the chef for AMP. That's a great way to support your family and have them earn their spot by developing and using a skill. But having her as a professor was terrible. She was just annoying at Streamer U and comes off as having an abrasive personality. The way she spoke to the class was like having the most unliked teacher possible. She should've handed out the recipe on a sheet of paper to everyone, like a teacher would, rather than just trying to shout out each step and threaten to kick people out for talking during cooking class.

It was a bad choice to try to promote her as a content creator, even telling everyone in the class to take a picture and tag her was leachy.

The brothers aren't really cutout to be content creators and they don't really mingle or collab with the streamers. Pretty pointless for them to be there.

Last years was a lot better. The content this time around was definitely quantity over quality. A lot of streaming hours but not much to speak of.

Rider had a problem with it because he also liked Counting Crows. Danielle asked David Faustino if he cared that Bud Bundy liked hip hop and he said no way thats cool. Rider seems like someone whos never happy like whys he always complaining.

So my PM was going on vacation and one of our supervisors was serving as PM. The supervisor is pretty well liked. Anyway the supervisor went to talk to me in the morning about something and they seemed totally off to me like maybe they were on medication or mixing alcohol with medication. They were definitely slurring bad and I never heard them sound like that.

When the PM came back, they were giving the supervisor a hard time for sitting at the desk and told them they need to be walking around the workroom floor. This serves no purpose, we have a good office and management walking around the workroom floor just gets in the way of us doing our work.

Anyway, the supervisor starts making a big deal of having to walk around. I get it that its totally pointless and the PM just being a pos but I also had to laugh that they're complaining so much about having to walk around. Like that's your job for the entire day.

Well the next day they have to walk around again and they're walking around saying GOOD MORNING! loudly to each carrier and this is a pretty big office. It was super annoying to me as I was tired and their voice was piercing. Other people were just saying "GOOD MORNING!" back since they like them but to me it was really annoying to hear over and over.

So then the PM is giving some pointless speech in the morning about drinking water and the supervisor walks by them and starts to talk over them saying "Good Morning!" "Good Morning!"

And the PM is like "hey, don't do that you're disrupting me"

It was so childish and annoying to listen to while trying to work. 2 management stooges. So then the supervisor starts complaining that they were basically now told to not interrupt and they start crying. Now they're out of work because of the PM, it's really such a dysfunctional place because of them.

I'm not fully comfortable busting out Spanish. I can read some stuff and write on a basic level but I'm not really conversational. I studied some Spanish in college but then I didn't use it so lost a lot of it.

I'm just not really sure what to say. In English, I just keep it short, "Hello, how are you today?" "Thanks, have a nice day."

I know in spanish people say "Hola, como estas?" But I'm not good enough to be conversational so maybe I'm not sure what to say when they respond. They also say "Gracias" when I give them the mail but then I say "Gracias" too because in English I would say thank you, not you're welcome.

Is it weird for me to say Gracias too?

I sometimes speak Spanish and English I'll be like "Gracias, thank you." or "Gracias, have a nice day"

I've also been greeted with "Buenas" before. Not sure if I should just say "buenas" when seeing someone.

But in English I always say Hello, so I might say "Hola, como estas?" and when they respond I'll just say "Muy bien, gracias" and keep it moving?

This is a large streamer with thousands of viewers. They don't reside in the US so not entirely familiar with how well everything works. They asked about USPS, FedEx and other options.

Because of all the anti-USPS propaganda out there, I was maybe expecting some negative responses to USPS. But actually the whole chat was vouching for USPS. Hundreds of commenters. They said FedEx was the worst and to avoid them. Pretty much everyone in the chat told them to use USPS. Also comments of USPS > FedEx, UPS

I was a little surprised, but I completely agree with them.

It's crazy to think we have the best service but always get shit on by management, the President, PMG, etc. There's no reason for all the negative news. We really should stop taking some multi-millionaire CEO that is just here to give sweetheart deals to their billionaire friends and bankrupt the USPS.

I have seen mixed things and I can't find how the compensation is given. I assume the extra pay is only for the hours you've spent training someone. How much more pay do you get?

Steiner needs to go because the service has only suffered with him at the helm. Having some corporate sleezeball that will give deals to his friends is not what we need.

If they want to reduce losses, then you charge more to Amazon. Instead Steiner gets a worse deal.

All this talk about charging more for stamps and charging these damn people who want to use our service. But not talking about charging more to corporations like Amazon. We could make more per package in order to offset other costs.

There's a whole operation on Sunday's so we can deliver Amazon. But we're talking about delaying and limiting the availability of our own service? Sorry you can't get the package that you spent $30 to ship with us but we can get you these Amazon packages that we were paid .80c for.

I've had some bad customers but this was a new one for me. There's this guy that lives in this smaller apartment. They're sometimes outside smoking cigs. So I just say hello and walk by. I can see them start to follow me to the mailbox as I go over there. Still smoking on their cigarette they get so close to me and ask if they have any mail. I have so much mail from the day after the holiday to go through for this apartment but its only like 6 apartments so not that bad.

As I'm going through the mail I'm just breathing in this guys cigarette smoke. They're an older guy and I just deal with it. Give them their mail and keep it movin'.

But damn first time I had to experience the second hand smoke customer.

This CCA has been there close to 2 years, only 2-3 months from hitting the 2 year mark. They have rarely ever showed up, absolutely no consistency. PM is totally incompetent and wouldn't fire them. They were doing this even during probation. PM would give them endless opportunities.

Now the PM has stopped scheduling them but hasn't actually fired them. They put an X next to their name instead of NS or anything. But if they were fired they'd just be removed entirely.

The issue is that CCA's spot to convert to regular is coming up soon, probably within the next 2-3 months. It's really despicable to have them convert ahead of the CCA's that have been working their tails off and waiting for their opportunity to be freed from CCA hell.

I have a feeling the PM will just use this to convert the CCA and then just have the route left open because they're just an a-hole. And then they'll say "oh there's nothing we can do" while that route is just without a regular because this person doesn't show up.

Is there someone I can write to or anything that can be done. The PM is pathetic and does everything to screw carriers.

This PM is always antagonizing carriers. They tell us "we need to give you 8 hours of work" so they give very hefty downtime pivots.

They send a message on the scanner today once carriers on the street and they say "I'm very sorry that carriers were not given enough work for 8 hours from my supervisors. I will address that with them so you are getting as close to 8 hours of work as possible"

This is obviously just this narcissists way of trying to aggravate carriers for no reason whatsoever. I don't see how its at all necessary to send this message to carriers. It read like a message to his boss. Like tell the POOM you're sorry or tell your supervisors what you want them to do, but this has nothing to do with us. Clearly just meant to annoy.

Would this be good evidence for a grievance and to stop them from communicating this nonsense.

Online it said it was a balanced hybrid but I feel like its definitely a strong indica. This stuff zaps me of my energy and puts me to sleep.

90 hours (10 hours of OT) taking home $1660. So the OT should be at a rate of close to $40/hr. Lets say I only got $300 from the OT. $1360 for my 80 hours. Approximately $680 weekly.

What an absolute disgrace.

It's a little crazy with all the body breaking work they do that a crossing guard gets paid the same as them. Something has to be done with the pay for carriers which has not kept up with inflation and its not even close.

To be clear this is where I live, I'm not sure if its standard pay for crossing guards in all states

I haven't blocked them. I thought they wouldn't be able to message me on IG since I don't follow them and I changed my settings to do that. But I guess since I had previous conversation with them then they're able to message.

I can just ignore them. I don't know if I want to block. For one thing I'm worried they might possibly become crazy obsessive. I think there's a chance they have enough guys showing them attention that they'll get over it quick. But I'm worried they'll go nuts over it. And it'd be fine if not for my friend continuously referencing where I lived whenever we were all talking. I never wanted the girl to know where I lived but this idiot friend would always mention it.

I just don't want them watching my profile at all, even though I have it private so they don't see anything.

So I had this whole ordeal with this girl. Complicated and confusing. She started to check off all the boxes for a narcissist. I had cut her off and then allowed her back. Then she acted weird suggesting I wanted her so bad. I basically flipped the whole thing on her. Then she got frustrated and said I was being a child and hung up. That was about a month ago. My birthday passed and nothing. Then her birthday is in a week and she has other pretty major things happening in her life.

She didn't send a message but shared me an instagram reel. Basically sending a message of just the video, its from a creator we used to laugh at and talk about a bunch.

So doesn't even say anything but sends the reel. FOH I didn't answer her. I did just check the message and the reel but that was it.

I forgot to add, I was thinking about messaging her and just letting her know how good the friendship was when she was trying. Telling her that I still believe in her but I won't be talking to her.

That's non-negotiable. We (all carriers) deserve more, not less.
