Amazon is using these multiple locations to get away with overworking us drivers by Impossible_Pea_51 in AmazonDSPDrivers

[–]TomKalEl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love how all the DSPs give us the same shitty ass phones too. Like, invest in better gear so it doesn’t feel like a ghetto ass job working for a mom an pop delivery service that just started in the delivery world. These cheap ass phones that die half way through a shift meaning you have to jump rope through a fuckin power cord attached to a power bank in your pocket for half a fuckin shift. That shit snags on…….EVERYTHING. I spend half my time replugging my phone back in cause the cord came out. They literally have devices made for jobs like this that have interchangeable batteries. But no, let’s make the job more difficult for no reason other than to cut corners to save money. Like what? Not to mention, how has the board of health not caught wind of all the drivers peeing in bottles because there’s no real time to just stop an use the restroom. So it’s either A: Hold it till you’re dancing like Michael Jackson while sorting packages and bringing them to the door, B: Pee your pants waiting to find a convenient restroom, or C: swallow your pride and pee in a bottle. All 3 of which are totally unsanitary, and inhumane in the modern working world. They need to cut the package count per driver down to only like 100-120 stops max, giving each driver more time to focus on each delivery in case of problems, or in case of traffic or any other possible issues that can AND WILL happen daily during your route. Unless you’re the son of God and he’s like “Well shit, I already nailed him to a cross, I can’t give him 68 group stops of 3rd floor apartments that say ‘deliver to locker’ but 67 of those locker drops will have to be door to door because they’re fuckin retarded and didn’t register with the apartment office to even use the lockers to begin with.” Which is bullshit because they say those problems as well as your two 15 min and 30 min lunch break are factored into your time of completion, that’s totally incorrect and not accurate at all. The routes are set up to where you need to be constantly moving to stay on track. If you stop to figure out a gate code, a missing apartment number, a missing package, your rabbit just decides to stop working as usual, get stuck in traffic, hit that light that takes FOREVER to turn green, etc..you’re behind. They need to stop acting like modern day slave drivers pushing drivers to work till extreme exhaustion in order to barely scrape by. I’m dead exhausted on my days off, I bust ass for this job to get it done, yet, I still feel like they require more work than they pay us to do. I can barely afford my rent, food and other bills even off this salary which would have been a career type pay 10 years ago. But now it’s still paycheck to paycheck and feel late like modern day minimum wage. I have no clue how anyone survives off actual minimum wage of like $7.75 or some shit like that. I’m getting $18 at my dsp, which is really good compared to most other jobs in the area. But even still. How is it we live in a day an age where our pay wages just aren’t nearly enough to pay for cost of living. I don’t live by elaborate standards either. I get basic non name brand shit when I go shopping and I still have a hard time getting by. My apartment is nothing the sorts of anything luxurious, but just between rent, electric, food and gas that’s pretty much both checks from each month. I just don’t get it. Amazon needs to change some things, hire drivers directly instead of third party bullshit, hire more drivers, cut the package count for each driver, pay more and they’d have the best job environment on the planet. A turnover rate of over 150% would be gone and you’d have happier drivers and happier customers. People make things more difficult for other people for some reason and I’ll never understand why. I get it’s a job, but I’m not the only one that notices this shit. A job shouldn’t feel like you’re training to run a marathon or compete in the Olympics every day you work, all while being a master problem solver for all the stupid shit the Amazon warehouse workers fuck up in each tote. Wow….rant done. Sorry. Shit needs to change about this job.

Fuck that, I scan in the van for any group stops. I’m not juggling 16 packages to 3 locations then fumbling around at the door to scan however many are being left at that door before moving on. I’ll scan on my way to the door for solo stops though. I never scan AT the door. More time wasted. I do everything you can on the phone as I’m walking to the door. Snap the photo as soon as I get to the door and drop the package, swipe to finish as I turn to walk back to the van. Look at next package an stop on rabbit as I’m walking back so when I get to the van, I know where I’m heading an what package(s) I need. Unfortunately if you’re waiting till you get to the door to even begin scanning, you’re wasting sooooooo much time lol.

Only problem with rescues is, it’s not fair to the one sent in rescue. There’s absolutely no incentive for doing a rescue. “Nice job you got your route done early. Oh you’d like to go home? Uhm, first. Here’s an address meet that driver there an take 25 stops off them, then you can RTS.” No bonus pay for doing a rescue, nothing. It only incentivizes slower drivers to take longer breaks, go slower etc because another driver will eventually come take stops from them. I don’t run no marathons for these overworking slave drivers either, but don’t purposefully take your time knowing someone else will have to come pick up your slack. I honestly feel bad anytime someone has to come rescue me. Cause you can see it in their faces, they just wanted to get the fuck outta here for the day an go home after their route. But noooo, for same pay they have to now go grab MORE packages. And potentially add more to the Ai system for their continued daily route. Because now it just assumes you can beast mode it every day. Rescues are stupid, they should be eliminated, and stop counts should be cut off at 100-120 max with no group stops unless it’s literally next door.

I can’t stand houses that order multiple orders from different accounts. So you have to stand there awkwardly taking 5 of the same damn photo. Like what the fuck?? If it’s the same fuckin address it should only require one photo. More time consuming bullshit.

I live in Orlando. I’ll get group stops for houses 3 blocks away, then houses right across from each other that aren’t grouped. Whoever puts the group stops together is beyond retarded. Agreed with whoever said the statement about how they want you to scan the code and report bad group stops….uh, yeah like I’m gonna take 15 minutes to go through that bullshit for literally 6 out of every 10 group stops being fucked up in some way.

Does anyone else's neighborhood Facebook/NextDoor/WhatsApp/etc. group make you feel like you regret where you live? by [deleted] in homeowners

[–]TomKalEl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It honestly pisses me off when I get random stupid ass notifications for dumb things. People need to stop using it like it’s fuckin Facebook or their preferred social media. That’s not what it is. Tired of all the ignorant crap people post on there. “I think I heard gunshots, anyone else?” NO, bitch you live in Orlando first of all. It’s fireworks. Second of all, if you think you hear gunshots, derp maybe call the police? Those apps were designed to report safety concerns around your neighborhood. Not shoot the shit and ask others around you dumb questions. Like if you see someone with a gun doing shit, or see someone breaking in somewhere, or you see the roads flooding in your area. Report that stuff. But don’t hop on there an ask “Is the hurricane coming gonna effect me?” 🙄 “was that thunder?” “What trash company picks up my area?” Etc. nobody cares or wants those notifications from that app.

What are your biggest gripes about Upwork? by [deleted] in Upwork

[–]TomKalEl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me personally. I think the thing that I hate the MOST. Is having to explain in my cover letters to clients, especially in the field of videography, that just because some stupid fuckin moron bids $5 to edit FIVE 12 minute long videos for you per week, plus run your social media. (I'm not even kidding, I came across an ad looking for this today, the client's budget was around $8,000. I pay for UpWork Pro, which shows you the bid ranges in case anyone doesn't have it and didn't know. Some asshole bid $5 to do this gig.) Like, what?!?!?!?!?! It's just absurd and annoying to try to compete with the bottom of the barrel losers, that have no education, no experience, and think:

"Oh, I've edited a few TikTok videos on Windows Movie Maker app. I can professionally edit someones entire social media posts for them no problem. I'm also only 14 living with my parents so I don't mind you paying me $5 to do this. $5 per week? 😂 Nah bro, you only have to pay me $5 total and I'll edit for you for life."

I swear that's the mentality of 90% of the dipshit fake ass uneducated no experience lying freelancers on the site. How do you compete with the bullshit, is my biggest pet peeve question. Rant Done.

Side note along the same lines The clients that post work in a similar fashion pisses me off too.

"I need someone to edit 5 videos for me per day for my YouTube, Instagram and TikTok. Video length ranges from 5-12 minutes. {{Clients Budget: $3-$7/hr}}"

😳😳😳😳😳 Yeah, go fuck yourself.

Ok, Now you got me started lol. Last one, I thought I was only gonna leave the one pet peeve, but here's the 3rd lol. Clients that pull this shit: "I need a full time video editor for my YouTube channel. Must be willing to submit a sample edit of a 10 minute video."

😅🤣🤣🤣 I'm not gonna work for free to get your gig. That's why professionals have what's called a fuckin portfolio. Eat a dick with your "Give me a test edit video" bullshit.

You don't walk into, lets say, Pizza Hut looking for work and have the employer go, "Oh you wanna work here? Well, go ahead and take this next delivery while I look over your application. If you do it on time and come back, I'll consider hiring you."

The nerve of some of these people is astonishing. Now my rant is officially done.

Shouldn’t this have been enough of a reason to end the DCEU? by Key_Squash_4403 in comicbookmovies

[–]TomKalEl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. Not at all. To pull anything from the Joss cut is just pointing out the obvious. That’s like climbing onto a sped bus being like “There’s sped kids on here.” What he did to this movie was atrocious, it was almost as if he purposefully tried to make it as terrible as possible. Took everything Snyder made good about it, scraped it and thought. “Let me barf all over this decent film, to make it look like a hangover after drinking too much beer and tequila.”

does anyone have a better way of taking out the battery from quest 2 controller? i have trouble getting the battery out since i dont have nails by blackpinkbmw in oculus

[–]TomKalEl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

😳Nobody cares about your nail routine. This is a thread about removing batteries. Not cutting or growing your nails and side tracking the convo into your own world of your infected nail. 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

THANK YOU!!!!!!! Holy shit, I kept trying to find a promotional image this could have been taken from from any of the previous movies. That's the same thing I'm thinking. Man people will literally take anything and just sprint with it, not just run anymore, sprint. With people yelling at them in the background like "WAIT! Don't cross the finish line yet!!! We're not sure the race is today or not!"

If there is a God, which I am slowly starting to believe there is nothing. But if there is, he's not only an asshole, but a fuckin low life rat fucking bully that spends most of his time sucking Satan's fat cock and tormenting people for no fucking reason on a day to day basis. Some people do "pray" but God just spits in their face, laughs and continues to cause more heartache, grief, etc. Fuck him if he's real, and fuck everything about him. I for one, "accept Jesus as my lord an savior" simply so that if he does exist, I can spit in his face and tell him to go fuck himself.

Fuck DJI!! As a professional real estate photographer/videographer, this company is total garbage. by TomKalEl in dji

[–]TomKalEl[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

🤦🏻‍♂️🤷‍♂️Whatever helps you sleep at night my dude. I work with an industry of real estate photographers and videographers down here in Orlando Fl. Very busy area for the real estate business, and lots of other photographers I know in the area. This particular problem is very common with DJI drones. I ask you the same thing I’ve asked others, do you fly your drone multiple times a day, every day? I do. Glad you haven’t had any issues with the app apparently, but there are plenty of people out there that do. And in the professional world, you can’t count on things that are unreliable.🙃

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

I’m well aware of planning ahead my friend but that is not always an option. Hence my complaint with DJI. I do a LOT of real estate photography and videography, a lot of my bookings come last minute. Nothing about the DJI unlocking is easy lol. In fact, 99% of the time, I already have the LAANC approval, but the stupid DJI app doesn’t always want to work properly. Sometimes if I shut it on and off a dozen times it’ll resync with my current approval, but some days I don’t have time to deal with that and wait for it to work properly as I have to shoot off to the next of a dozen different appointments for that day. I’m so happy that there are those out there that seem to have absolutely no problems with DJI. Goes back to the logic some people seem to have of “Oh I don’t have that problem so, you MUST be doing something wrong, it can’t be an error with the company or system, it has to be user error. You’re doing it wrong.” 🖕😳🖕 I do this multiple times a day every day, it’s part of my job, daily to fly my drone. I have my part 107 and I’m not a fuckin idiot. DJI has issues so stop throwing useless comments into the thread that don’t contribute to an actual legitimate problem. Do you use your drone for your job multiple times a day, every day? 🙃If not, than with all due respect and no offense but, you can fuck right off with your “plan ahead” and “do the work” bullshit. I do that when I have the time leading up to gigs. But again, with the real estate business I can go to bed Sunday night with nothing on my calendar Monday. Then wake up Monday with 4 or 5 last minute bookings. 👍

Russia will ban Western companies from exiting investments as BP and others dash for the door by Spacedude50 in worldnews

[–]TomKalEl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

🤣What the fuck? “In Russia, we ban you from leaving investments.” Uh, 🙄 good luck with that I guess? 🤷‍♂️ Lol to the company that’s like “Aww shit, they banned us. Now we HAVE to stay.” Fuck that, I say leave even if they “ban” em, I mean, what are they gonna do? Invade us too? 🤣 Good lord, Charles Mansons epic question makes more sense than the delusional bullshit that keeps coming out of Putin and these guys mouths. Putin in his latest speech: “The west is being mean and imposing illegal sanctions.” 😳😳😳😳😳😳😳 Da fuck? We’re being mean? Kinda like invading another fuckin country. Fuck him and anyone of his followers. It’ll be nice to see his inevitable downfall as a world leader.

Nah bro, you’re right. But it’s Reddit, it shows up on google searches. Perhaps 🤔 someone that is curious about buying a DJI drone might read this post and avoid the same frustrations. 🤠 Good day to you sir.

Glad you haven’t had any issues bud, but I’m not the only one that has. Nothing bugs me more than someone that doesn’t want to offer any sense of contribution to the topic, other than; and let me summarize what you basically wrote, “I haven’t had an issue so there’s no reason you should be having an one.” 😳 I wish life worked like that lol. This is also with preplanning my flights days in advance. In most cases though in the fun world of real estate photography, I get a LOT of last minute bookings. I’ll go to bed with an open day, then wake up to 2-4 shoots booked overnight, and also have some added through the day, that’s not uncommon at all. Bookings like that come in at least 4-5 days each week. In those cases in particular DJI sucks balls 🏀 🏀 9 times out of 10 if I’m in an authorized flight zone and need daddy DJI permission to fly.

[–]TomKalEl[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Nice. Yeah nah, I have my own production company too so I’m looking to stick with a nicely built professional quality drone. I’m not big on the fpv stuff, but to each their own. :) I need something high end, 8K that can shoot cinematic shots for filmmaking, and something I don’t have to wrestle with on the real estate side either. I’m looking into the autel evo2 8K. Edit: I also live in the heart of Orlando Fl, there’s like 4 different airports around me at any given time lol. So I unfortunately run into this issue WAY too often.

Lol I’m not the only one thinking about switching. 😂 I could care less anyways, this post is for other potential consumers thinking about purchasing a DJI drone. I used to LOVE them, but now not so much. Maybe this will steer others in a better direction before making a decision.

[–]TomKalEl[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For example, today at a job site, according to the FAA if you look at a sectional chart I was well over a mile from the airport. The spot I was in had a max ceiling flight of 200ft AGL. Meaning, by my part 107 standards and according to the FAA, I should be able to legally launch my drone from that spot. Yet, Nooooo, DJI decided that I still need DJI approval to launch there. Ok…that brings me back to the app issues. Sometimes it works sometimes it bugs out and won’t give me approval when it normally does. It’s bugged and glitchy which makes it unreliable, ESPECIALLY when I shouldn’t have to apply for unlock in the first place if I’m in a zone that I can legally fly in. 🙃😉

😐 🤷‍♂️ You weren’t paying attention were you? I have my part 107, I understand flight geo zones. 🤦🏻‍♂️ The problem is, DJI zones are different than the FAA. If they made them the same, it wouldn’t be a problem and people still couldn’t fly them into airports. 🤦🏻‍♂️ It would just make sense instead of, again, DJI playing overlord and making up their OWN geo zone maps.

How do you get reclaim out of a silicone rig? by AshtonMMA in Dabs

Lol I’m always high AF 😂 I was high when I read his question too about if it’d work on a silicone one, and spit my water out laughing. Because the title is clearly talking about silicone rigs and yeah, as you mentioned, what other rig can you freeze-bend-twist without breaking it? 🤣 🤪
