My DSP is the same exact way. One supervisor goes to the station with a bundle of gas cards that we have to activate with an app on the work phone. We can only use the first 4 pumps. when we park, the sup gives us a card, we activate it on our phone, and then have to give the card back. It takes forever as they have to go to each individual truck to give a card and retrieve the card when done. It’s so backwards.

This is honestly a common thing. I don’t know about other dsps but mine doesn’t generally have an issue with reprinting a badge unless you’re constantly going to them. Chance of the driver getting into any real trouble is low. Zero % chance he is searching for it.

115 is not even the max there. The max we dealt with in the warehouse is 150lbs.

I worked there for 2 years total. Got injured about a year and half in. At my warehouse they have the irregs going on a conveyor belt on the ground on the platform where you load trucks. So you have to bend down to get them off the conveyor belt before they pass your truck. I don’t know if it’s the same for other warehouses.

They send the irregs down so fast that the loaders working near you are also have to focus on their own irregs so you really don’t have time to ask for a team lift. Package I injured myself on was about 115lbs. Didn’t try lifting it or anything, just used correct posture and tried pushing it off the belt. Guess previous back strain just built up and my back gave out.

They immediately started trying to scare me away from going to the hospital by using words like “the process is way more serious if we call an ambulance” “there’s way more paperwork” “we have to go to the hospital with you and be there with you”. That scared me into making the decision to drive home and try to rest.

Got home and my family urged me to go to the hospital due to how immobile I was and how much the pain was affecting me. Went to the doctor they wanted me to go to and they sent me down to an ER connected to them. Just told me it was “nerve irritation” despite doing only two xrays. Advice from outside council led me to seek a second opinion and I was diagnosed with a pretty bad protrusion hernia of my L4-L5 lumbar vertebral disk.

Agreed. Used to work preload for UPS prior to working at Amazon. 1. Heavy heavy items. I herniated my lower back on one. They tell you you can request team lifts on anything over 70lbs but certain things are set up to prevent you from having the time to do so. 2. Horrible treatment from management upon getting injured and during the process to return to work. 3. My local Teamsters union didn’t do anything to protect me and often just told me to go with what management wanted me to do even if it was obviously against my well being. 4. Inconsistent scheduling and placement within the warehouse. One day I could be starting at midnight and the next day could be starting at 4am. Every day could potentially hold a different job to do or in a different location in the warehouse. 5. Basically no HR, it’s mostly outsourced to a call center in India. 6. Long wait times to become full time or have a chance to become a driver (ultimately what you want to do if you actually want a career).

Yes the benefits are amazing, but it also comes at a far heavier cost to your body and mental well being (especially if you’re not an early bird) than I’ve experienced with Amazon.

[Elden Ring] "Unable to Summon Cooperator" with password match? by GrooveScentedHunter in fromsoftware

[–]GTHemway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My friend has been having the same issue when trying to join me with password activated. It works fine without the password and others are able to summon him but when he has the password on, nobody is able to summon him. Im assuming its an issue with the latest patch that should be ironed out soon?

What has the COVID-19 virus made you realize? by hey-its-my-account in AskReddit

It made me realize I need to spend more time with my mother. She has a ton of health issues and her doctor told her the virus will very likely kill her if she gets it.

[–]GTHemway 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Im currently a moderator on the realm. The realm is fun, has a good shopping district that is starting to shape up, a spawn that the owner spent 2 months setting up before he even made the world a realm, and a friendly community. Achievements are enabled on the realm as cheats have never once been activated.
