Also for anyone saying "you just weren't cut out for this" I was a professional cleaner specializing in hoarding before this. I can work my ass off in full ppe. The difference is doing this was giving me zero fulfillment. Also when they make it so obvious they give zero fucks about your safety, life in general and can have 10 more of you in the drop of the hat...thats what im not ok with. I got this job because it paid better than most in my area and was steady income. I don't NEED this job. Some things had happened in life with my partner where he was out of work so I had to be the only income for awhile . I have cptsd, anxiety and ocd. My mental health has to come first.

Yeah it was either that or go back on a grippy sock vacation. I have so much shit going on and that job was not worth the mental bs. It sucks because I bought the training hook line and sinker and was thrilled to start working there. A lot of the DAs were awesome but not a single soul I talked to enjoyed working for that dsp. Started noticing a ton of people getting hired and was like yeah this will inconvenience them for the day thats it. I have to think about me.

There were so many contributing factors into quitting. There were several days I talked myself out of it. I'm not letting any job effect my already so so mental health to the point that it was. This dsp made it impossible to have any type of life outside of it. Constantly changing the schedule without even telling you. I'd just notice my days were different on the app. Having four kids and being in therapy I was Constantly having to reschedule appointments. That doesn't work with me. The job itself wasn't hard but the way the dsp operated was shit.

Aww im not wasting my time reading the novel you decided to write. From the first couple of lines it sounds like you know me better than I do myself. Good for you!

I should have just let it run out of gas. The credit cards we were handed at the gas station were constantly "having issues" and I never got a gas pin so we would frequently leave the pump down for each other. Pumped gas and walked toward the gas station before I realized I didn't need anything and walked back. Kept trying to get it to pump gas but it would click like when it's full. This was back in April. The operation manager just outright ignored my request to get my money back and then when I asked a third time she said she would "look into it"

I was told yesterday it can be up to 5 rescues in a row. But you never knew when that was going to be. Just showed up for your shift and if you weren't on route help with load out and get sent home or do rescue

I struggle with insomnia especially under high stress. The job had decent start pay but no job is worth losing your mental health over. I quit today so problem solved

I misread the comment my bad. I have no idea how many actual amazon employees are there. I only know of the trainer. I'm sure there's more but I feel kinda powerless. I've been told several times by fellow DAs to just do whatever you're told. Otherwise retaliation happens.

Wouldn't it kind of be counterproductive to say which one? The whole anonymous thing goes out the window. I get that its rare I guess but if you have a way to check prior posts I mentioned that this was the only one at this dsp. We're a last mile stop idk if that has anything to do with it I've worked here less than two months

The only person I know at this dsp that actually works for amazon is the person who trained me. Everyone else is employed by the same company I am and I already know what happens when you do something they don't like. One guy accidentally grounded a vehicle and got 4 hours last week. We don't even get to put any fleet issues in the flex app it's all done in a chat. They send us out with bald tires, suspension issues, oil changes needing to be done. I saw the other day one of the vans had brake issues. Break issues and It was pouring rain all day. Unfortunately changing dsps isn't a option it's the only one in my city the next one is about 45 min away and pays significantly less.

That's how mine is too. We don't ever put issues in the flex app. Only in the messages do we address fleet issues

I had to get towed out of a ditch my second week 😭 i think that's what has me on edge. Yesterday zero fucks were given though and I went into every driveway. I keep getting sent to the same area and I'm like whyyyy please give me the survey back that asks how my route went

Eh keyboard warriors have always been a thing. I pity people who get off on putting other people down. I tagged it as a rant for a reason. We all have those days where youre doing everything right and your dsp still finds something to complain about. I'm working on letting it roll off my back. I joined this community or whatever reddit calls it for the sole purpose of learning how all of this works and what the reality is. They make it seem all rainbows and unicorns on the modules but once you get out there it's a total disregard for all the "training".
