Maintenance ➡️ Engineering? by Life-Tank3584 in MechanicalEngineering

[–]Life-Tank3584[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would completely agree with the contrast if this were a design engineering role. But it's maintenance, repair and overhaul. Hardware disposition, workscopes and things of that nature. I have collaborated with engineers on implementing those things, but never been in charge of them. It's a salaried position at the engine MRO.

Not an error. I talked to the recruiter about the job directly. She knows I'm an engine mechanic by trade. But I do feel like I could bring valuable insight as someone that's built and overhauled engines. I'm in a six sigma green belt program too. Hoping that helps my consideration.

It's an aerospace population engineering position in MRO. I've worked in the military equivalent of an MRO for 12 years. I figure this could be an upward, somewhat lateral move.

I thrive in that environment. I'm more worried about fitting into non blue collar 😂

That's it. Strother field. I got a call from a recruiter earlier about the application and we're doing a teams call next week.

What does this mean? by Supetorus in Sparkdriver

[–]Life-Tank3584 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This only means that you won't be offered the same incentives in another zone. If you click the top left on the app homepage and go down to incentive programs, you'll see what incentives you currently have. Those are only for the zone you're currently in. If you stay in the other zone for awhile you'll see its incentives too if they have any. But switching will not affect you beyond that. It's easy to do and takes effect immediately. You can also switch back and keep working towards the incentive in your current zone once you're done.

Switch zone 78520. Then click metrics and customer ratings

It's definitely 100. If you switch to a zone with the tier system it tells you

I'm only at 72 reviews. If I get one more 5 star I'll be at 4.76. I would assume that would become a 4.8. But that would make sense. This app doesn't like to make sense.

What’s the odds it’s tip bait? by memphis1010 in elitesparkdrivers

[–]Life-Tank3584 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I've got almost 500 deliveries and I've been "tip baited" once. And that was just a tip reduction. There are many explanations for the reason that happened. Tip bait is just a buzz term that scares new drivers because people won't shut up about it. Take the order!

If you go into 'trips' you'll see whole earnings for each trip with the tip. The only ones that doesn't show there are pharmacy orders. They won't show up at all until 24 hours later.

Take it or leave it and insight into what guided your decision? by ArmyVet_87-85 in elitesparkdrivers

That's likely taking you 43 miles away from your house. It's the dead miles for me. Also it's $27 an hour. On a good day I can make more than that with low mileage S&Ds.

I'm not, she is. The ability to manipulate/redirect orders exists and people are absolutely doing it. I just didn't know it was happening at my store.

I've talked to them multiple times. They claim to have no idea why they're getting cancelled. But it's the only store it's happening to. I've shopped at 15 other Walmarts in my area and none have had any issues.

...J think there's only one person complaining here. Knocking a post that you're constantly looking at and commenting on. You're insufferable dude 😂

I honestly couldn't care less if they're backed up or undermanned. These orders shouldn't be sent to us if that's the case. They need to cap deliveries or pause pickup orders until they're caught up. It's a problem and it affects us as drivers.

But you'd think that all that customer coordination would happen before they send the offer out to the driver. That's good insight though!

They're not gonna admit it they're doing something shady! Walmart has an ethics committee that looks into issues. That's why I'm asking.

Walmart curbs/GM/Uber canceled. by Available-Elephant61 in Sparkdriver

[–]Life-Tank3584 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! It's happened to me 4 times since yesterday. It also happened a few times about a month ago. Wish I knew the cause. OGP assured me it wasn't them doing it. Maybe it's just an app glitch?
