I never did delivery but I was a packer running 4 10s at 14 an hour and god it was unbelievably unbearable. I constantly had to hold my piss and the job was so boring just standing there in a line, unable to listen to music or even talk to your neighbors most of the time without getting a talking from your manager. Seriously worst job I ever had, if I was still working there damn right I'd be out there striking.
Delivery must be a much nicer department than packing. Also I know for a fact the strikes are real I have a friend in it currently.
Why the fuck would they not let you talk to people around you? How does making you miserable increase productivity?
I imagine music, if it’s on headphones, might be some kind of safety hazard.
I would think a good manager might allow a speaker at a reasonable volume, provided a group in the area will not complain about the music choices of others. Then you have arguments the manager has to deal with. So I might understand the reason for that policy.
EDIT maybe you give each person an hour to play the music they want. At their station, on their device.
You aren't allowed to have any electronic devices, they are crazy about not letting anyone record things or show the outside world what it looks like inside the warehouses. Something about a 'state of the art' conveyor system.
So no phones, watches, jewelry of any type. Also wasn't allowed to have super baggy clothes or big jackets.
Schindler’s List, alternate universe.
I can't comment on packing, only driving, but I think it's a sweet gig.
Shill
Genuine question, do you or your family buy things on Amazon? Have to be pretty stupid to call someone a shill that works for them. Next time your Amazon delivery driver drops off a package for you, how about you run out there and scream at them for being a shill, you fucking moron. Because that's what you're doing right now.
You're a shill because you have no problem defending Amazons shitty actions but when someone mentions how shit their position was you say "can't comment". Not even sympathetic just pure indifference towards your fellow workers. The hallmark trait of a corporate shill is the lack of solidarity towards your fellow workers
So what is the point of getting angry and name calling here? Why did you copy paste this multiple times? This whole situation is skeptical here, I leave a reasonable reply and come back a few hours later and it's madness in here, or perhaps it was already and I didn't notice.
But real talk here, you said 24 and hour for truck driving? Can anyone tell me if that's a normal price?
I do agree that people need to put their money with where their mouth is if they think amazon is an unethical company, and I think it's a good thing to call it out.
And go where? Walmart? Kroger? There's literally nowhere better for most of us.
I'm really sorry to hear that. I know we're both trying my best, I guess I just have more options where I am
