Just telling it like it is
It’s idiotic and unnecessary. You figure out the rest.
Driver pictures
- Thread starter It will be fine
- Start date
Uber, Lyft and Instacart do not wear uniforms or drive a marked company vehicle. We do.

According to relatives who are in that line of work, the issue is that the companies are allowing the market to be flooded with drivers, making it tough for anyone to make any decent money. Kind of strange to have that kind of persistent overstaffing if everyone is terrified to have their picture on their profile. Then there are the Lyft, Uber, etc. driver forums on Reddit. For something that is an issue, they sure go out of their way to not say anything about it. Did you try spending a few minutes there before deciding that it was an issue?
Keep trying, I know times are tough.

They give their customers their first names, pictures, license plate numbers, and descriptions of their cars.
Also - we drive company marked vehicles and wear uniforms. Probably not the job to have if you're worried about sticking out like a sore thumb in a world full of weirdos.

Exactly why driver photos are completely unnecessary.
We also wear visible photo id. No reason for that once we're out of the building if our name/photo are visible online, is there?

Come on guys, everything fedex does is stupid.
Bad idea after bad idea is kind of this companies calling card. Remember response? Having couriers deliver P1 and come back to the building and sit and wait for hours waiting for their P2. Couriers made a killing doing that moronic garbage lol. Then as a result stations had to spend a fortune renting extra trucks because there was nothing for the 2nd shift to drive lol. It’s the on location problems like that the cubicle farm geniuses can never account for.

Out in the real world, drivers wear uniforms, drive around in marked trucks, and wear a visible ID with first and last names and there is no problem.
On this board, a pic and your first name will lead to all sorts of problems.

And as bad as RESPONSE was, it was 100 times better than not having RESPONSE.
You always act like this company is locked in a straight jacket of its own operation. Like there can be no good solution but another bad one. Great companies know how to adapt. FedEx only knows how to react. This merge will be another RESPONSE. It will be a disaster and FedEx will be too slow to admit the mistake.

Got me. I would think they’d have some talking points at the ready to answer that though. So far all I’ve heard is, shut up, there’s no safety concern, do it because we say customers want it for reasons unknown.

I wished dano could explain the reasons.

No, I act like this company can't just do whatever some guy on the internet screams that they should do. You act like there are all these better options out there that they could implement at the drop of a hat if they chose.

Same as the risk: none.

Alright, tell us what happens without RESPONSE and why it would be the better option.
