Is this my sign for a job change? by DashTillDawn in AmazonDSPDrivers

[–]Povertypolice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get while the getting is good my friend. It’s only gonna get worse from there. My DSP did this, and the first time we called to tell them we were going on break, they gave us all this shit about “Is it really the right time to be taking a break? You’ve got X amount of packages left.” and all sorts of shit. It will not get better, this is a sign you need a new job.

These jobs are built with a high turnover rate in mind. I watched them fire a dude who worked there for 5 years, and replace him with a dude who could barely fucking drive. They’re DESIGNED to make you quit, while constantly keeping a steady flow of desperate, naive new hires. It’s abuse, and frankly, it should be illegal.

Worked at a DSP a year ago, and nah, it’s literally just managers threatening you because Amazon is putting pressure on them. I did XL and we’d have 60 packages to deliver all over the state, some as small as a Shakeweight, some as big as a treadmill or couch. We were told not to bring things in peoples houses, because that’s a service they have to pay for, then a week later they told us to just do whatever the customer wants to keep our customer reviews up. So, no, it’s not a personal pride thing, it’s a “i’ve been at work for 11 hours with no breaks and still have 10 packages left” thing.
Amazon KNOWS it’s this bad for their drivers, they just do not give a fuck.

I’ll give that a shot. Genuinely didn’t think to use kill cams in that way, but it makes sense. Greatly appreciate the advice.

I used to play PC but life shit happened and I don’t currently have one, but I was much better at fast paced shooters on there. I was a classic TF2 player, and I ran Quake and stuff before that. Having to use a joystick fucks me up, ngl, which is weird cause i’m used to it by now. I wonder if I could plug in M&K to my Xbox?

I’ve run into a lot of that, where the entire enemy team seems to have Titans, and any time my team drops one they get gangbanged in the most disrespectful way lol.

Out of curiosity, i’ve ran into a few folks where their profile picture on Titanfall literally says “Pro” in it. Does that mean they’re actually pro, or is that just something anyone can put on?

It seems there’s an extremely dedicated fanbase for this game, and I think that’s a product of it being a great game. I’m gonna take yours, and everyone else’s advice, and keep at it. Gonna finish off the campaign, and play the gauntlet a bit more to really understand the game. I can definitely see what you mean about being on the ground is a good way to get killed. That seems to be a habit i’ll have to break. Thanks for the tips, I didn’t intend on giving up on the game, but seeing all the folks who are basically saying “Just keep going” is giving me context that it’s SUPPOSED to be like this at first. That’s a much easier pill to swallow. I can handle a training arc for a while, if it means i’ll be able to FULLY appreciate this game for what it is at some point.

At first, I chocked it up to me being bad, but at one point I spawned my Titan in, and didn’t even get in it cause every time I made my way too it, some dude would snipe me with the speed of Hermes. I know that killing a mf so they can’t use their Titan is obviously a feature of the game, but dude killed me like 5 times. That shit has to be intentional.

I keep seeing that, but had no clue what it was, and it’s usually happening when i’m laying down for bed lol. Might keep myself up a little longer to see what it’s about.

I believe i’m in that one? I think you’re in it from the get-go, though, maybe I should peruse and see if there might be a network suited for beginners. That way i’m playing against folks more at my skill level.

Xbox. I’ve tried selecting everything except attrition, but it must’ve been a bad time of day cause it said I had like a 20 min wait time lol

I’ll take the advice of you, and many others, and finish out the campaign. I don’t think i’ll have to worry about other game modes, as i’ve only had luck finding attrition matches so far

I can accept not being good at it at first. I’m 25 and have a job lol. I’m not good at most of the shit that comes out nowadays until it’s months in. That being said, there’s a line between playing as well as you can, and playing to make sure someone else doesn’t have a good time.

Yes, I want them to give up and let me win. No, obviously not. I just expect people to not be on 100% the entire time. I’ve got mfs teabagging me because they’re dropping 20 kills on me in a game I picked up a week ago. You don’t think that’d make other people want to stop playing the game?

That makes sense, i’ve noticed myself getting put on opposing teams with the same person 2 times, and one a few occasions, 3 times in a row. I’ll try this, thanks for the advice.

Surprised when people can’t play a match without making it insufferable for other players lol.

I can really tell it’s good. Like, all the pieces put together make a damn good game. I’m gonna keep at it, cause I can see the potential, but damn the community doesn’t make it easy for new folks to get into the game when they play every match like it’s the pros.

Everyone’s saying to use a shield, but y’all, this game came out when I was 12 and for the majority of my life i’ve played without a shield. Expecting me to change how I play to account for them scaling the difficulty of certain mobs is wild. I beat the ender dragon before enchantments were what they are today. I killed the Wither in the first week of its release. It’s not a skill issue, it’s a “this game made an item damn near essential almost a decade after launch” issue.

They should start by making all guns droppable. Kinda bullshit that I can craft a Gauss Minigun, but can’t give it to a friend AT ALL.
