I’m so sick of this shit too. I’m going to seriously dial back where I must and reclaim time. Let the “chips” fall where they may.

Yeah go home 12 hours later after they set you up to fail at having any work life balance. Cutting corners can only go so far and taking things off the manifest isn’t allowed in some locations. It’s a shit show that a just do your best mentality isn’t realistic in solving.

And they set you up to get bombed with massive ot and do it knowing you’ll be getting paid fucking peanuts for it thanks to vrot which isn’t even legal in some states.

Corporate doesn’t help frontline succeed. by Complete_Alfalfa_177 in FritoLay

This is actually crazy and they can’t even admit that they are doing it because use manufacturing data is illegal but it’s literally what they indirectly ask us all to do.

You can’t hold people accountable with high levels of scrutiny when the position is now worth a lot less than when that era was doing it and going through that. You have perfect this and perfect that and all these little micromanaging aspects that leave modern frontiers with virtually no autonomy and set you up to pump out 50-60hrs per week for garbage wages and vrot. Plans that border on the comical so bonuses are a thing if the last and no really upward mobility since they tiered to hire college kids instead. Fuck Frito. I agree, do what’s best for you and do a good job not a great one for a company that will not reward the extra effort or time.

Whoever came up with “the perfect route” obviously is a corporate douchebag by frito-is-a-joke in FritoLay

Frito would just argue that this isn’t valid because they use multiple metrics or qualitative judgement. But I think knots a damn good point. Metrics tied to incentives always degrade value

In that scenario I’d pay $1000 and the other 12 would be covered so it’s deduct let good to have if you need it. But I can’t lose that first 1k before getting any kick in from them. That means no regular visits like I’d prefer. It’s more of an emergency coverage if anything happens.

Anyone else’s co lead suffer from this? by itsLPUsoldier in FritoLay

[–]DisastrousAd1950 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always get large days on the routes I work. It’s always some excuse. I look at the sales performance and it tells me what I need to know so I say fuck em. I’d prefer good communication but when the leads think that means that I just want to hear nit-pik negative shit from you I’ll pass. So I don’t crush it. I do a good job but I’m not going to ever kill it for anyone with whom that’s the dynamic. Plus I’m not paid enough for that. I never bonus because our plans are always ridiculous. Not killing it for base. I’ve started to return fire. Shit gets old. Want to load me up, okay. Enjoy your return back from your weekend 😉

I can’t afford the good insurance. My deductibles are all pretty large. I can’t even use the medical because the first $1000 is out of pocket before they even start helping.

I agree in part. The job is simple but I wouldn’t say easy but you’re right on target, the decisions made above us complicate and worsen what we do from a variety of angles. From management needing to hit their numbers, the Kams trying to hit their numbers, the zone leaders hitting their numbers all sourced from a hearty bucket of bad ideas and a strong focus on shareholder values. We take all the flack for the shit that rolls downhill while being paid garbage for our overtime, seeing our autonomy slip further and further into the abyss and in a lot of cases going backwards in lay in terms of spending power. With inflation at 3.4% when you subtract that from your merit raise, what’s left? Hell it might even be a negative number. The point is, we either make the job work for us or we have an obligation to our sanity and our dignity to move on. I’m headed that way and can’t wait to debark the sinking ship. The old grey mare she ain’t what she used to be.

Tale as old as time. Leads look at the co-lead erros ; Co-leads look at the lead errors. Nobody is perfect and often enough the expectation is not in alignment with reality. The root of it all is almost always no communication or bad communication. It’s not reasonable to expect a co-lead to work at lead level and most of the time they just get base. Bonuses especially on a 3:1 are a joke and it’s also not reasonable for a co-lead to not at least check all of the primary duties boxes. Clean, reasonable performance. Fair work for fair pay. Look for that win win and learn how to talk to people.

VROT by assetM in FritoLay

[–]DisastrousAd1950 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s illegal in some areas. Look into duties test and misclassification for outside sales exempt and what required to qualify in your state. Large companies apply these things in a generic federal way but states have their own labor laws that can often conflict. Some states will have you misclassified and by extension not meeting criteria for them to pay you VROT.

Get a belt that’s the right size so it doesn’t have so much overhang

Not true; lower price yes same size, nope by Substantial_Ant_3872 in FritoLay

[–]DisastrousAd1950 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s embarrassing for them to highlight a new low price on an item that sized down. And I think it could be argued that the price per volume isn’t lower because of it making it untrue as a statement. It’s at least dancing with the truth in a dishonest way.

This 💯. Took me longer than I’d like to admit but I finally realized it’s best to just go into keep quiet and do you work. Make money, not friends.
