I assist with courier class, REDS training and Newhire DD class. Plenty of dead time when they are taking test and doing other task with the District Trainer and she doesn't need my assistance.
He must have been 1 FINE fella
Was the other person just as clueless?
It's just another step toward autonomous delivery vehicles. OF's generation may very well be the last to spend it's entire working life span using human operated delivery vehicles. Remember a month ago McKinsey Global Institute issued a forecast that said that if the pace of automation technology and improved processes continues it could eliminate 40% of the nation's workforce by the year 2030.
Are those autonomous vehicles going to drive up the sidewalk to the front door to drop off those packages and ring the doorbell??
I never said it would be tomorrow but you've been in the flesh long enough to know that change is the only constant as evidenced by X's long standing commitment to eliminating menial human labor as much as possible which is entirely constant with the American economy as a whole.
Jim Barksdale said Zapmail was gonna change the way people did business.
I really don't think it's that far-fetched. Technology is advancing much faster it would.
Seems like there's always a "rich are bad" angle to your posts. The wealthy aren't fools. If they eliminate 40% of the workforce they eliminate a huge percentage of their customers. They'll also destabilize society, crime rates will soar, and they themselves will become targets. Or do you expect all the unemployed to just take it on the chin? Either improvements in efficiency will open other avenues of employment, or the powers that be will come up with something acceptable that people can live with. Your line of reasoning suggests something extraordinarily sinister is coming. Highly doubtful.
Ah No. unless your contractor feels generous!

My God, you can be telling the truth...are you?. That's of course you work for a very generous contractor employer who happens to be in a very lucrative area of the country. But for most of the rest it's all straight time, no overtime and zero benefits.
Given your past comments describing how little you walked away with after all your years of service to X that alone should tell you about how concerned they are what you're concerned about. Inventing, developing, getting the patents the licensing agreements and bringing it to market before anyone else does is all that matters to the drivers of technology. It's a global economy with a global population that's not likely to stop growing in number.
