Rarely cranky. But I know my ADHD would never allow me to get through the whole post.
I agree with vulture capitalist that overtook hoste4ss is what ruined and destroyed the company UPS is not even the same. UPS pays cash for everything. They make 25 billion a quarter. Fedex leases everything. The usps cant handle what they have now. And Amazon in Los Angeles just went union. Amazon is union all over Europe and Canada. US is the only one not union. Thats why Apple, Starbucks Amazon pays tons of money for union busters.

Teamsters was able to organize drivers in a DSP called Battle-Tested Strategies (what a stupid name by the way) down in Palmdale, CA. Only problem is Amazon terminated their contract with them, it will expire in October and all those drivers will be on the unemployment line.
An Amazon union just won a $30 an hour contract
What happens next depends on Amazon, the workers, and the interpretation of outdated US labor law.

That’s also a concern, how many would cross the picket line and work.
Who says that’s a bad park job

The few that did cross here in 97 just drove package cars around town.

The Original 84 is what my local calls them. $30 an hour and refusal to do unsafe stops is pretty good for Amazon. It’s going to be a tough battle ahead since it’s a DSP. I remember they wanted us to start delivering packages inside garages/doors where the app can open it up remotely.Teamsters was able to organize drivers in a DSP called Battle-Tested Strategies (what a stupid name by the way) down in Palmdale, CA.

that. People barely even remember they ordered stuff and I had sketchy confrontations just delivering to the door. I bypassed that every time.anonymous23456

Let get rid of all the field grade officers and generals in the military. NCO and privates can do 95% of the job....right?

“It went bankrupted”
Man if that isn’t management material I don’t know what is.

We aren’t nearly as important as the military, don’t flatter yourself.
Yes, competent drivers with area knowledge render management useless and with the cradle they don’t even bother training anyone. They are pretty much desk jockeys looking at computers all day trying to justify their jobs.
So yes, we can do the job with little to no input from people who in many circumstances never did the job themselves. But the computer training they did gave them all the knowledge they need to tell us what to do.
