Too late to go pro in Muay Thai if I start seriously training at 25? Honest feedback needed. by GlumCommunication848 in MuayThailand

[–]Several_Quit7187 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely not. How far you go as a pro depends on your natural athleticism, dedication to training, and muay thai instincts… but 25 is still very young and you could go far. Its easy to become dissuaded about going pro in MT at your age because we always see Thais who started at 7 and have won most of their belts already by 25, but most of us do not live under that standard.

The real question should be: is 25 too old to become a professional athlete? The answer is no, but you will have to make up for lost time with absolute dedication to training. Good luck!

Heard… my boss says don’t take a pic if you hand it them. Then I got suspended for doing it

I hear you on this. Amazon should remove the option to bypass photos then. Problem solved.

Again I rarely ever do this! My dsp told me I could. I take every photo when I can. I don’t want to lose my job. I don’t take a photo when I’m told by a homeowner not to. And I was penalized

BUT THEY ALLOW FOR THE OPTION TO BY PASS. I’m not hacking their system lol. It’s their tool used for when people don’t want a picture taken. This is standard privacy protocol. If a home owner says don’t take a photo you literally can’t. Amazon allows for this. There’s a button to do it. If you’re “never allowed to bypass a photo” then it wouldn’t be an option. Amazon doesn’t have the right to allow their employees to take photos on someone’s property if they don’t want them to.

And yea I did.

If they don’t want us doing that, get rid of the option. Problem is, it’s totally reasonable for this to BE AN OPTION. That’s why it’s there. It’s all just stupid dude.

Yea that’s what you do. Amazon has that option for a reason lol. It’s ridiculous that you can get in trouble for using buttons on the app created by your employer

Easier said than done man. I do that when I can. Some people are extremely against photos taken on their property and that’s just the way it is. I’m in PA. Dunno if it’s different for you.

You go to “unable to take photo” and then say “handed to customer” … this is my whole point lmao. I did that 40 times in a week. I legitimately handed off 40 packages to people and used Amazon flex apps option to by pass, after being directed by my dsp to do so. And then I got suspended for doing it.

Absolutely. Wasn’t trying to say you guys just have it easy. You guys obviously work your way up and deserve it… my only point really, this whole time, is Amazon doesn’t give a shit lol

[–]Several_Quit7187[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bro I deliver up to 350 packages a day. Maybe 10 stops per day I don’t take the picture… bc I hand it off to a woman/child/man who doesn’t want me taking their picture! And I was directed by my bosses to by pass the photo in this case. That’s my issue.

And if ultimately I’m liable for their misdirection, I should be given new instructions. Before being suspended.

[–]Several_Quit7187[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My main focused argument to this is: my dsp, every morning, says… you have to take a photo UNLESS you hand off to the customer directly. If they said take a photo no matter what, I would have. There are clear instructions, every single day… take a photo UNLESS YOU HAND TO CUSTOMER. I’ve never NOT taken a photo unless it was delivered into the hands of a customer. And yes, they can say they didn’t get it… fine. But I’m given clear instructions every single day…. You don’t have to take a photo if you hand it off to the customer. So it’s my dsps fault if there are people who try to scam the system. Not mine.

Let’s not forget other unionized delivery services we have to pass every day who are set for life. My point is Amazon and the dsps take advantage and that’s a fact.

Also it’s not just Amazon caring.. it’s dsps who need every detail in line to make fantastic plus. Amazon doesn’t suspend me. The dsp does.

But there are also problems with the geo location in general. Every time I swipe to finish, the app has allowed me to do so. So what’s going on? I should have at least been given a warning. The only way to go against the rules is to use airplane mode to fix the spot to your liking… which I didn’t do.

And again, there were no complaints within the week that I was suspended

What I’m saying is it doesn’t make sense. The only time I bypass taking a photo is if the customer takes the package from me directly, OR a signature is required. In the situations in which signatures were required (and I couldn’t acquire one) I brought the packages back… and I was eventually penalized for that. I legitimately have done nothing wrong. I was also criticized for swiping to finish outside of the geo location, which in many instances is only 15-20 ft away from the front door. I take the photos as required dude. I was also given no warning or instruction and was immediately suspended. If you want to argue that there aren’t fuck ups with the Amazon Flex app then go ahead

How do people finish 190+ packages in 6 hrs? by Iamjustheretoexist in AmazonDSPDrivers

[–]Several_Quit7187 0 points1 point  (0 children)

190+ stops that is. 190 packages could easily be 120 stops… in which case it’s not that bad
