First day of training for our fallout glasses.
We get new vests, comes with a battery pack, controller, and the display looks like a pip boy. Most likely will be full blown by peak.
Cubed out in a stepvan. Warehouse that took half my truck was closed.
Should they begin to roll out those portable netradyne cameras (they’re literally that), this would be the best chance to mass protest and force a possible union. Think about it, Amazon will be the first to see what you’re doing, then they’ll notify your dsp so they can discipline you. Those glasses aren’t for making the job easier they’re for disciplinary reasons. This is the best chance for all of us to say “we’re not working under mass surveillance”. We’ll win. Say no to drugs
Nice to see on a bad day :/
One of my coworkers was terminated today for having an excessive number of people in their PODs. I believe these issues should be addressed with the customers who frequently come outside after delivering to their houses for the hundredth time.
Edit: I don’t need a lecture on PODs. I’ve been an Amazon driver for two years and have been platinum since the beginning. Yes, it’s a rule to avoid having humans, animals (even if it’s a large glass door), shadows, or anything else in the picture, but some situations are unavoidable. Some people simply refuse to move, regardless of how polite or professional you are about it. I don’t have that issue, but I’m sure many drivers do. Amazon terminated him, so it was out of my dsp control. However, other workers did much worse. A woman was suspended for having her baby on the route, but he was fired for having a human being in the photo.
They stuck me in such a terrible route. 99 degrees today again. Foothills means a lot of my stops have huge, steep yards to climb with tons of stairs too. Amazon is so fucked up. Nothing you guys dont already know.
I'm stuck. Its my own fault I guess I just want to cry every day I see this again but everyone around me I ask says they get 160 to 180. The lowest I see is 180. Whether I finish on time or not my route does not shrink. Ever.
Idk. I need the money. I don't see another job paying above 20 an hour and I didn't finish school. I feel stuck. God I hate myself and my life. This is hell.
I usually average around 185-200 stops, 250 locations, and 300-400 packages.
how cooked am I?
EDIT
Everyone is saying no context, forgot to add
happened to me while i pulled into a roundabout driveway and when I was pulling out and making the turnaround I didn’t have enough space, backed up and didn’t realize a branch was laying very low and it hit the side of my van denting it severely and breaking the window
I’m still hired at the same DSP lol
Would you like a fax and a page too?
Tbh I barely read these but this one caught my eye giving she took the time to say thank you to the drivers lol
So annoying. This one has 4 pumps
second time i've delivered to this house and there's an absolute beauty sitting in the driveway. first a 4 door R34 and now an S15 Spec R just chilling. i'm tryna get like this 😩
all the way across the island. Just to drive across the island again.
Today I'm in the city, which is the worst fucking route ever but thats beside the point. At one point im on a busy street some lady yells behind me "hey!!" she motions for me to come toward her...honestly i thought it was a homeless person or idk what (yes i was in the hood man). but i said no and kept walking the opposite way.
the next stop happens to be 10 packages. 9 of which go to the lobby of an apartment. as i approach the same girl opens the door (which was kinda nice actually cuz they all have access codes and shit)
so i say "sorry i wasn't at your stop yet"
she's like "oh that's fine it's just three days in a row it went to the wrong place"
im just like oh ok (cuz it wasn't me) and she like says "its cat food!" like so seriously, her cat needs food! the way she said it made me think the cat would starve if we didn't deliver it
has she never heard of a...pet store? grocery store? shit even convenient stores have it lol
So today in Oklahoma City we have a chance of temperatures up to 110 to 115 degrees!
But do we have a time or package reduction? no!!!!
The package average across all the DSP‘s is between 295 and 300!!!
I truly fear that the only thing that’s gonna make them actually reduce is somebody’s gonna have to die!!!
Started my route with this surprise today. Never thought I would experience new car smell in an Amazon delivery van lol.
