HAVE A GREAT DAY! TAKE YOUR BREAKS! DONT PUSH YOURSELF JUST TO MAKE YOUR DSP OWNER RICHER TO BUY ANOTHER CORVETTE. GO AT YOUR PACE, DONT MIND THE SHITTY CUSTOMERS PLAY YOUR PODCASTS AND JUST FOCUS BLOCK OUT EVERYONE!

It seems like the idea that people just don't know how to work or deal with adversity is the reason this job is so fucked. Yes , I agree with this sentiment in general but it's not the reason this job is fucked. It's not you or your effort. ITS AMAZON

I'm sure your asking yourself, "who is this whiney reddit asshole come to play his little violin because he doesn't work hard enough?" Well that's where you got it wrong. I'm a bricklayer and commercial fisherman. Bricklaying is the hardest "regular job" there is pretty much and the type of commercial fishing I did made bricklaying seem like a tropical vacation lol. There's always harder work FYI (your not as cool as you think haha).

I dungeness crabbed and gillnetted in Bristol Bay. Those are the two hardest fisheries in the world. You ever see deadliest catch? Bering sea crabbing has HALF THE MORTALITY RATE of dungeness crabbing. They use hydraulic cranes to move their 70 pots of gear they run a day. A dungeness crabber carries every single 150 lb pot and we run 700 on a good day. That's literally 10x the work. The bering sea guys are fun to watch puke and cry after talking big and coming down to do dungeness crabbing lol. How do I know? I fished on a deadliest catch boat converted into a dungeness crab boat. My captain hired the guy from the show as a deck boss because he felt bad for him and fired him immediately for being a quote "little bitch". So yea id say I'm qualified to speak on what hard work is. I was literally one of the most wanted deckhands on the west coast and fished for the best fishing boats in the world literally. I have an unofficial world record haul I was a part of and we often came in second in total haul for the season behind the F/V Pacific Dynasty (respect 👌). I also have a shark scar, chicks love shark scars lol 😆.

But enough about me (I know cringe lol just trying to get my point across). About Amazon.... If you bring a hard working mentality into Amazon delivery you WILL CRASH AND BURN.

AMAZON ADDS STOPS THE HARDER YOU WORK. Let me repeat this. If you work hard you will be rewarded with an increasing work load and there's no limit. For my first two DSP's I was up to 400-450 packages in a matter of months. I'm not sure if it's flex doing this with AI or the station doing it where they are trying to get more bonuses. Either way this is the case with 3 different DSP's at three different stations. It's not because "kids these days are lazy" (even though I agree they are haha it's just not the reason for Amazon sucking ass)

At ny third DSP I figured out to aim for the middle. I went as slow as possible on my nursery. I went as slow as possible when I was on a normal route. I trained it to give me almost half the package count I used to have. The trick is to go slow as fuck as soon as your on your own on a nursery, then you pace it out when you get a regular route to where you finish an hour and a half early. Don't take long breaks just fuck around on your phone at every single stop to where there is no obvious breaks and always walk slow. Then be very eager to rescue and VERY NICE AND RESPECTFUL TO DISPATCH. You need dispatch on your side to pace yourself. I haul ass on rescues because it doesn't add to your package count later (like 40/hr depending no joke). Dispatch loved me even though I put out the absolute minimum. I was never out on reserve even though about half my DSP was every day (it was a shit show they waaaaay over hired worse than I've ever seen even for Amazon).

Then I injured my knee, they denied my claim by lying, retaliated against me by putting me on reserve the minute they figured out I could work again, and then went to the other DSP'S at the station I worked at and bad mouthed me so I couldn't get hired (they fucked up so bad with me I think they were teying to cover it up honestly). I had a job with another DSP at the station and halfway through the onboarding process the HR lady messaged me saying they reversed their decision and that the guy who interviewed me jumped the gun. That pretty much verifies they fucked me.

And no, I did not call the hotline or contact a lawyer it's pointless. Ive had to recover my wages from crooked masonry contractors before and honestly it isn't worth it unless it's higher pay.

So this is what hard work gets you at Amazon. It's not you ITS AMAZON

I’m pretty new, only been at this for about a month.

I can tolerate the woes of the job- but I was under the impression that if I busted my ass, didn’t have any safety issues, and did rescues, then I wouldn’t have to worry about being put on standby. It was made to seem like a disciplinary action.

I’ve never needed a rescue, damaged a van, received any kind of verbal/written warnings etc. I do 25+ stops an hour, usually do a rescue, 850 fico

Getting sent home after 1.5 hours into my shift, after I already paid a babysitter for the day, I wasted gas driving out here… you’re actually costing me money, and employment generally works the other way around.

Oh, and of course the 2 vans I helped load were cubed out. Could’ve easily spread that to other drivers needing work, but na

I'm not a violent person, I try to be kind and respectful to everyone, but I will argue with a customer if they're out of line.

What I don't understand is.....we know their name, address and phone number, I myself won't do anything, but I can't speak for other drivers.

The customer thinks they can be rude, disrespectful and threatening, but don't think about consequences, if that driver snaps.

Be respectful to your delivery driver and we'll be respectful to you. We are human too.

Sooooooo i just found out my DSP isn't offering any insurance benefits or anything 🙃 this shit isn't fair. Why are so much taxes being taken out my checks jus for me to not be able to get any benefits??????

Took a job in security for a company thats partnered with amazon so I decided to resign before my first day of delivering. Anyone whos quit know how long it takes to not be in the system as an active employee? New job is saying apparently i’m still in Amazon’s system as employed so I can’t go forward until it’s sorted out. DSP isn’t being any help
