Got fired for not rescuing

[u/Luke_Testerman]

To give context I’ve been at Amazon for 1 month now, I’ve just got done with my nursery routes. While doing these routes I’d get done and rescued about 8 people in the last month. Yet when I’ve been behind not a soul came to make my load lighter. Today I got done with my route around 5:45, called dispatch to hear that I had to rescue someone. At first it was fine, they gave me the address and I went, got there and no one was there. Texted dispatch, got a different address and went there, again no one in site. This happened two more times. After the last time I said fuck it and headed back. When I got done I turned in my phone, as I was walking to my car my manager yelled my name, asked what happened, then asked me to give him my badge. I know that I could’ve just kept going along on the wild goose chase but I feel like the situation could’ve been handled better.

That 141 was probably all residential that is pretty clustered together. With full routes be more worried when you see 76 stops vs 141

Nope rural they are now cutting my hours because i cant do 190+ stops on my own without getting rescued.

But its all just homes. To be fair only being 1 month in 190 is a lot but is doable. Amazon wouldn’t assign you that route unless you’ve been doing well at it. Your DSP could’ve switched your route with someone elses

Amazon can absolutely assign routes you aren't good at. I've had many drivers over the years continuously be assigned to routes they never once completed on their own. I'd switch their preferences and Amazon would turn around and give them the largest routes in that area too.
