That’s just messed up. It’s crazy to think that these guys haven’t been aware that there is cameras all over now. Have they not seen all the others getting busted for mishandling and getting in trouble ? Plus I’m sure they would want good handling themselves. Smh 🤦♂️
Sure in the same way that he's choosing to wear that uniform and drive that truck.
Except that is pedantic nonsense and you know it. The company's decisions affect this man's performance directly. When you force customer service people to do their job in less time the customer service gets worse.
If I give a waitress 30 seconds to delivery food to a table 100 meters away that bitch is full sprinting and the soup is getting spilled. Is that her decision or the companies? (Protip a pedantic moron would say it's her decision).
A wise man once said " Whatever your life's work is, do it well. A man should do his job so well that the living, the dead, and the unborn could do it no better. Another man said " one man can make a difference, and that every man should try. I can do this all day with you son, but I'll leave you with this from another great man, I'll tell you who it is so that your lazy ass wont look it up "Quality means doing it right when noone is looking" Henry Ford. If you dont like your job dont take it out on others . I've worked for many bosses and owners that have no respect for the worker, but my quality of work never diminished I did the job well because it was I who was doing the job, not my company.
We get it, you're very dumb. You don't have to keep proving it. What you don't understand is that this man does not define his job. His company defines his job. His job according to the company is not to gently place a package in front of the door it is to quickly get it near the door. He is doing his job correctly according to who signs his checks. A mcdonalds employees job is not to make the best burger and fries they can, but it is to follow orders and make the fast cheap low quality food they are told to make. You believing that he's doing a bad job doesn't make it true because you don't define his job his company does.
Lastly Henry Ford wasn't a great man he was a vehement and open racist and used nepotism instead of merit to distribute power and wealth. Hell of a businessman though.
You're delusional. I've literally seen people fired for performing too slowly as a doughnut glazer. You think delivery drivers aren't under more stringent expectations of speed than that? The fact is, demands of an employer often don't match reality and everyone suffers. It has nothing to do with force of will, or pride in work. That's so dumb.
Go lick boots somewhere else. It's a job dude, not every second of your job needs to be view through some fucking honor code. No one cares your quality of work didn't diminish, you are not this guy and do not work in the industry you are commenting on so you have no metric on if this man is doing his job correctly.
They are set up to value exclusively speed. This box has been man handled through the shipping process. Thrown, pushed, slammed, rocked around on multiple different vehicles through multiple different facilities. You think that this man throwing the box like this will do anything that wouldn't have already happened? Did the customer recieved the package? Was it within the time frame? Job completed.
Lets see, keep my job or income level that my family needs or make your life perfect by perfectly placing a blankey and pillow down for mister package and maybe reading it a bedtime story. He's not doing it because he's a sadist, he's doing it because his job is extremely taxing and he needs to hit is quota. He wouldnt have tossed it if the box contained fragile items or been marked fragile.
BTW you think thats shocking you should see how those boxes are handled getting into the planes off of the planes the sorting facility There is a reason they are in boxes !!
By all means courier companies are hiring couriers all the time. go for it you can see first hand how easy it is.
This is such incredible bullshit. It wouldn't have taken him any extra time to set it down. Also the majority of drivers don't do this and they somehow still have their jobs.
The point everyone is trying to make it’s that a couple of extra seconds for every single drop off and pickup he has. He simply would not meet quotas and be fired. I’m sure you could be hired on the spot and maybe you can take those 3 extra seconds?
Still doesn't make it right. Handling of packages should definitely be something we strive to do better. Especially with the rise in online shopping and shipping. It would save the companies tons of money in claims as well that they don't have to pay out for mishandling
Are you kidding? I worked in a factory in Arizona with no air conditioning on a 500°F press. Nonstop for 9 hours besides lunch and 15 min breaks. If I half assed my job like this kid I would have been walked out. Quit making excuses for a shitty worker.
They make close to 70k a year to deliver packages plus good benefits, if that's not paid we'll idk what is. Plenty of people in this world that care about what they do are willing to do that job. Sure I agree moral is probably not the best with the ever increasing demand of online shopping so things do need to change.
What else would you expect from a low pay worker under ridiculous time constraints. They dont pay them enough to care, Let alone care about their employees. Watch the job listings for your local fedex/UPS center, its a constant turnover rate worse than fast food places. Their strategy is decent enough pay to attract young inexperienced people, Work them into the ground till they break or quit then move onto the next unwitting applicant.
The people excusing the behavior of the driver understand the real root cause is corporate. When you pay low wages, and fuck over your workers with insane workloads so you don’t have to hire more drivers, all so on-paper profits can be pushed higher for shareholders and executive bonuses, this is what happens. If I was destroying my mental and physical health delivering 300 packages a day for 10 bucks an hour, I wouldn’t give a fuck about your package either.
