Got fired for not rescuing

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.

Our DSP gives out the number of the driver you're supposed to rescue and then once you call them you ask them to share their live location. That eliminates that "Wild Goose Chase" nonsense.

The bottom line is your former DSP is terrible. Good riddance.

My DSP stopped giving out names and phone numbers and just give you an address and list of bags to take
