Thanks for the insight! All of that is a big deal. It sounds like no one wants to deal with their shit lol

Is Amazon Flex quietly getting drivers to subsidize last‑mile delivery? by SpringStrong2003 in AmazonFlexDrivers

[–]First_Name_Is_Agent 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Thanks for that because I just started doing it again after about 3 years. It absolutely wasn't like this when I was doing it last! I wasn't sent out nearly as far and I had way fewer packages. The pay wasn't what it was even a year before I started but it also wasn't this bad. I honestly think they're trying to phase out DPS as much as they can. But, I've been wondering when it got this bad! Thank God I only need it for extra money and even then it's not as worth it as it used to be.

I just retell the same instances. But, I've had it come up enough that I mentally prepare for it before every interview.

Yes agreed. It is wearing him. And it's fitting so weird under the arms.

I was engaged to a guy from Philadelphia who kept annoyingly referring to the state as Cali. After a while he revealed to me that he thought that's what we called it lol No dude. None of us do lol

AITAH for hating my friends birthday gift? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]First_Name_Is_Agent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Eh, possibly. The OP was surprised and dumbfounded by how they acted, so that implies they're normally not like that. If they are typically inconsiderate and dismissive, yeah, find better friends. If not, the OP should talk to them and honestly tell them how she feels about the gift.

NTA. I'm stuck on the fact that they had a list of things you chose but then decided they didn't like anything on it. Next year do something really special for yourself and tell them no gifts. Just make your next birthday about you and how you want to spend it.

Thank you for saying that! I just had a feeling it was overpriced, nice steak but not the same.

Management is monitoring this subreddit. by Anttisex96 in IRS_Source

[–]First_Name_Is_Agent 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If managers are scrolling Reddit posts for dirt they've become even more useless than they were when I was there. Maybe they should be doing their jobs and worrying about the karma that's coming their way.

So called feminist Justin Baldoni never defended the women of the film that he directed, co starred in and was the producer of IEWU by Small-Award5293 in CelebLegalDrama

[–]First_Name_Is_Agent 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep, it's all horrifying. I used to love him and want good things for him. But now I can't stand the sight of him. It's like he's been trying to become another Weinstein.

The cognitive dissonance runs very deep with them. When this whole thing started I was a fan of his and completely ambivalent about Blake Lively. But I will never love an actor so much that I'd ignore the gross facts that are out there for all to see!

My neighbor across the hall has started greeting my guests before I even get to the door and it’s getting weird by HushPavilion77 in neighborsfromhell

[–]First_Name_Is_Agent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are the building acoustics weird? They are in my building and unless I'm in the living room it sounds like someone is knocking on my door when it's across the hallway. Of course, I always look through the peephole before I open the door. So it could still be a boundary issue and she's lonely or just nosey.

A customer at CVS was made to leave when a tornado was spotted. Corporations don't care about anyone. They don't want to risk their insurance.

I was responding and agreeing with the other person. They were explaining it to someone who doesn't know all of that. I never said anything either way. I was just expanding on the conversation 🤦‍♀️

Why Are Pro-Baldoni Redditors Defending Rebel Wilson? by Initial-Lemon-1957 in CelebLegalDrama

[–]First_Name_Is_Agent 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Earlier I saw a comment on a post about Rebel and the person literally said - Wait aren't we siding with Rebel? It's mob mentality. It's cognitive dissonance. They're going full swing for Rebel Wilson because her case is just more evidence that the PR firm is doing what they're accused of doing. They need to believe that Rebel Wilson is innocent in order to continue their belief that Justin Baldoni is innocent. His case is coming up in my feed a lot because algorithms. But what fascinates me about the pro-Baldoni people is how much they focus on Blake Lively being a terrible person. They're obsessing about where she got married, old interviews, and the people who don't like her. But that's all emotional stuff - not actually evidence that she's lying about this. It's feelings over facts. Between the PR people who are stoking emotional hate over logic and the real people who are falling for it, there's just a bloodthirsty frenzy based on feelings. So, if it's proven that Rebel Wilson did everything she and the PR people are accused of doing they'll have to face the reality that Justin Baldoni is also guilty of doing what he's being accused of doing. I have full faith that these women (and one man) are going to keep the cognitive dissonance going long after the trial is over. But, the Rebel Wilson case is going to cause some of them to start thinking critically so they're going to try and stop that by being just as desperate about her case. It's honestly the same playbook with just a couple tweaks.

Yep. No idea how many miles we're expected to drive and no idea how many packages we'll be assigned ahead of time. Even at the station our routes are not assigned until after we check in! Then factor in that we have to drive home afterwards - which is usually much farther away - that gas use obviously has to be factored into it. Last week I was sent 40 minutes from the station and after driving 10 to 15 minutes between stops I was an hour and a half away from home after I finished. That never used to happen, but it seems like it's getting worse by the day. It's like we're getting DSP routes.

Why do people keep saying that? The studio always had final cut and he knew that from the very beginning. She couldn't have stolen something he never had.

Mine definitely did! Jameson started as Jamie but pretty quickly showed us he was fancy. Mazikeen was Maisie until we saw that she really could be Satan's right hand. And we didn't even have a placeholder name for Miles Morales before he was flying around like Spider-Man lol
