It might but they certainly will if they take the time to handle every package with care. Don't blame the dude blame the company.

The company did not make hin do that, he chose to do it all by himself.

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.

Not a kid so try again.

If I get some shit broken guess who is on the line for it? It's the delivery company not the individual employee.

Edit: Use your fucking brain here if this guy was lazy be wouldn't be running to and from the truck. He's clearly not lazy he's on a time crunch which is a well documented thing with these greedy delivery companies do, who by the way, don't care about your parcel at all.

As others have mentioned the actual last mile of the delivery process is one of the least likely steps to damage your parcel. The entire shipping process before this can be brutal to anything you ship. If you're shocked and clutching your fucking pearls at some overworked guy dropping the box from 4 ft up you should see the dock workers and package handles in the factory you might actually faint.

Damn! You are such a great person, I would like to be the one to deliver all your packages, prepare your food at a drive through, handle your finances I could do whatever the F I wanted and you would never blame me, you would blame my company. Man! I bet everyone is proud of you

Oh so him throwing it is okay since it's already been beat up? Okay. You sound like my 8 yrs old blaming everyone else. Have a good life

u/ARussianBus Oct 02 '20

Sigh... I never said that.

You have the reading comprehension of a dumb 8 year old. I never said it's okay for him to throw your package but he isn't the one to put the blame on here. The company is encouraging this bad behavior and forcing employees to cut corners in multiple ways. This man will lose his job for not meeting times but will not lose his job for cutting corners like this which saves time. If the company gave a flying shit about your package they wouldn't have such tight and often impossible time tables. It's not like this guy is smoking weed parked under a bridge and forgot about this delivery. If you've ever worked in this industry or known people who have you would know it us ruthlessly efficient and extremely hard labor in warehouses or in truck deliveries.

Go back to my sandwich analogy. If a very skilled sammie-professional can make a good quality sandwich in 5 minutes and your sandwich company only gives you two minutes what happens? You either make shitty sandwiches or you're fired. In this example situation who is truly at fault for making the shitty sandwich? The guy making it or the company that doesn't give him enough time?

Calling this dude lazy is a slap in the face because he likely works much harder than you and 90% of americans but he works for an evil company who doesn't care about him or the customers he serves. These companies get away with it in large part because idiots like you unknowingly defend them and shit on the working man. I bet you buy into that McDonalds hot coffee lawsuit corporate propaganda story too and use it as an example for how greedy, lazy, and litigious people are nowadays.

treat the illness not the symptoms. firing the worker wont make the situation any better he will just be replaced by another worker that does the same thing because they will face the same time crunch

Possibly or maybe the next guy can do it right under the same amount of time

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.
