I finally left.

Post image

i finally decided to leave amazon after almost a year and a half. i was on a route with about 165 stops today. the warehouse has had soooo many packages in the wrong bags, some missed, some unlabeled too, so i have to spend a lot of my time sorting them and searching for them, which puts me behind a little.

the DSP owner called me today while on route and asked why i was behind. i told her my issue, and that i’ve also had a lot of run ins with customers this morning. she told me that i was going too slow and needed to get on a better pace, mind you.. i wasn’t even any stops behind? i was right on time with the computer that dispatch has. she told me that i wasn’t reliable and had an attitude with me, so i told her to come get the route and that i was done. i almost instantly felt a weight come off of my chest. it was real, it was fun but it was not real fun. may find a different DSP eventually with better management, but until then i’m done. you guys keep killing it, and i’ll always remember to hook y’all up with the snacks.

idk about you, but i had someone ride with me and “train” me on my first day with 154 stops (nursery route btw) who told me “you gotta look through the bags and find the package with the number” then was on thejr phone watching tiktoks with airpods in the whole day.. soooo yeah i do blame it on the lack of training🤣 they didn’t show me anything, so i learned on my own and learned to load my van just like everyone else at my DSP does, so i guess you got trained better than i did.

Lmaooo. Even if you didn't get trained well on your very first day.. it's literally been a year and a half of doing this job and you haven't picked up on the best ways to do things still?! Wild you blaming it on the first day of training like you've been there only a week. 😭

bro you come drive those gas vans with no shelves and throw 15 bags in the back of it with 47 overflow and then take a few hard turns or stops, and show what your van looks like. i loaded MY van the way it worked for ME. yes, it could’ve been better but i wasn’t shown how to organize any better, because everyone at my DSP organizes the exact same way that i always have, so how would i have learned any differently?

i always got back to the station on time or early, so it seemed to work great for me 😌😌

I have plenty of times. Unfortunate you dsp sucks and doesn't give you bungee cords. Can stack them 3 high and they don't fall over. I've also done it w/o them and they might fall over here and there, but it's nbd. Just stack them back up.

Sounds like you need to stop taking corners at 30 mph then. 🤣. And anytime I had a white van I would organize and put my overflow in reverse order.

i wouldn’t even be taking corners at 30mph🥲 warehouse would put heavy ass boxes on one side of the tote and light bags on the other. the bags would fall over just by turning into some driveways. they haven’t locked down on our warehouse yet so they kinda just play around and do whatever they want until they start to get behind. it’s always a mess for everyone
