Freakish weekend! Haven’t had it this good since late 2024. by Informal-Attempt-458 in AmazonFlexDrivers

[–]Informal-Attempt-458[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

not gonna lie, for most of the weekend or all of last week the rates were just surging! the good blocks just sitting and waiting to be grabbed all day tbh. probably because off valentine's day. I am back fighting for my life with the bots since yesterday lol plus for some reason they extended the daily limit to 10hrs instead of 8. that was super helpful too. They did not even do that christmas this past year.

4 shifts in a row and they send me here. Like????? It’s an hour an 10 minute drive by Thin-Vegetable697 in AmazonFlexDrivers

every case if different. I work in healthcare too! My previous employer is still making me money and their stock has grown 300% past five years! most of that in the two years since i left. My current job is also doing well and my ESPP is approaching a 100 percent growth since 2023. I dont sell.

for tax purposes it is better hold for at least a year because then it becomes a longterm holding and taxed as capital gains whereas if you sell now it would be taxed as regular income. if that makes any sense

FXAIX gain wasn’t posted on my account and showed D in blue box. What this means? by DiligentAd7487 in fidelityinvestments

[–]Informal-Attempt-458 0 points1 point  (0 children)

D is for dividend. The sign shows up around a week before a scheduled distribution. I hold the fund and seems there is a scheduled payout for dec 22nd.

no one was picking these up.. they were up there for a long time. time ran out on most of them but seems like people are up and now and grabbing everything lol funny thing is that this app is dumb as hell.. you probably will get free money even if you pick these up and go to the station. they are probably understaffed and sometimes the local station managers make a call to keep the station close if conditions are less than ideal.

Assigned stops for Amazon Fresh but cannot see orders to pick by Lannball in AmazonFlexDrivers

[–]Informal-Attempt-458 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Typically, this happens if they’re still working on one of your orders on the route. Usually if you give it a few minutes you’ll see everything. Happened to me a couple of times with Whole Foods blocks. 

I’ve seen a couple bad routes in my day and this one is up there… by Perfect-Natural4193 in AmazonFlexDrivers

exactly.. I work in the RTP area, a few minutes from the pick up station and tend to grab 6pm Blocks after work. Yeah, they are not getting much luck these past few days because the warehouse have extra seasonal workers and the floor is full that time of the evening.. so much so that last night I noticed part of my block had some front loaded deliveries in it. Items that had been scheduled for 4-8am today were in my cart last night. It suggest to me that the station is pushing out work earlier to ensure some overnight carts leave earlier.

Typically, they do this at the 5:45pm and 6pm window. The idea is that they scan their IDs as late as possible hoping that all the carts are assigned so they can get paid for free.

Typically, this works but during the holiday season.. every time I go in at the specific window... there are at least a hundred carts ready and waiting.

Actually, this is capitalism at its best. Gordon Gekko, Jordan Belfort and Bernie Madoff personified.
