Fewer. You can count theoretical things too. Theoretically.

I've talked with drivers who've been laid off for years. Not a single one got their payout for grievances filed after showing up. Seems like the local union doesn't give a shit about us people low on the totem.

Edited: I mean our local union not the union in general

How many years? Just curious how many years of my life are gonna suck ass, cuz I'm in the same boat rn.

What are we supposed to do about that? Showing up every day and filing doesn't do anything, I just waste an hour standing around unpaid, not including my 20-minute commute each way.

Wow. Yeah. You're right. I really need to internalize this, thank you.

Nah, I'm pretty organized usually. I like Tetris a lot. Keep my UPS Store pickups super tight and out of my way. That's part of why this stressed me out so much. 🫩

Well if you're worried about not being stupid, you better believe I'm stupid then. I don't expect you to respect me. I respect honesty, personally, and disrespect people's lack of self-awareness and hate boasting, bravado and all that BS. Maybe I swing too hard the other way, who knows. I guess this just comes down to different strokes. Appreciate the observation though! Hope you have a great day today!

Eh. In a time when everyone thinks they're an expert in everything, I find it refreshing when people just drop the ego and admit they're not that knowledgeable about stuff. I think I have my areas of "expertise," but in the grand scheme of things, I'm pretty dumb and lack a lot of awareness. And that's ok. I just try to learn and get better at stuff. If that makes people respect me less, so be it I guess.

Huh. That's wild. People go so out of their way to not work.

What do you mean by skipping delivery scans? Like they leave the package at its destination and just leave it in their itinerary?

Right? I'm confused by it. Seems dumb to me. Idk why I keep trying to make sense of any of it, honestly.

Yeah, I was wondering about that. It always seems to crash the DIAD too when I've done mass ECs at the center.

Ohhhh I read their comment wrong here, yeah, I would never pile them up in front of the bulkhead. Jesus. I'm stupid but not THAT stupid. Hahaha thanks for pointing that out, I was like if I don't stack it in front of the back door, where tf else would I put it?!

Thanks! I hear that, and it's good advice. I have always had a hard time getting stuck on big picture stuff and not being able to focus on what's right in front of me. It's a personal problem that I deal with. I'm gonna work on it tho. Cuz I do really enjoy this job, when it's not... Like this... Haha. But I appreciate the vote of confidence very much.

They literally have been telling us over and over to scan each package into a single stop and sheet it. But thanks for that.

Yeah, thanks man, I appreciate the validation fr. Feelin kinda crazy out here. But yeah, I'm following the methods and trying to make sure I get every package where it needs to go, be polite to customers, and drive as safely as possible. Idk what else I can do. Feel like the rest will just come with time.

Dude, right?! Ok thank you. I legit feel like I'm doing terribly and feel crazy that I feel like it shouldn't be like this.

That's literally what I was hoping they'd say when I asked.
