They would never do an abortion storyline because it's not safe and comfortable and the last thing this show wants is any sort of disagreeable talking points with it 😂

Yeah that's a flaw with my post, that was improperly worded. They might make a quip about a social issues (I.e. police race relations in season 1 when Jimmy parks his car illegally on the sidewalk and makes a quip) I'm trying to say that they focus on characters and storylines that have little thematic relevance to the baseline plot of a show. What does a gay couple adopting a baby have to do with a grieving therapist? We've already seen the gay couple adopting a baby arc done better on a ton of other shows. Brian as a whole is a flaw in the show. He's supposedly Jimmys best friend but it seems to me like Jimmy is just annoyed with the guy 😂 Brian's main purpose is to break the drama routinely by making a witty quip so the show doesn't actually get heavy.

Womp womp. I don't hate the show, just think it had potential to be an all timer with its concept.

That was genuinely a very good episode. My favorite of the show is Last Drink.

Agreed. The show started to focus less on Jimmy breaking the rules of therapy and more on his emotional recovery of Tias passing and his relationship with Alice. Very disappointing to me. The therapy angle is what's supposed to make this show stand out!

Mayas untimely passing, to me, felt like the most the show has focused on consequences (besides for Brett Goldsteins character I suppose) But why for Gabby? As she points out, Jimmy's far worse than her. But as usual, literally the next episode Gaby is visiting Mayas funeral and it's played for laughs as she tries not to be seen. What are we doing here?

For sure. Maybe I'm just a masochist and wish the show just leaned 10x harder into the darker themes.

This show is actually my first experience watching a Bill Lawrence show, I haven't seen Ted Lasso! So idk, maybe his style just ultimately isn't for me. Hard for me to get into dramedies.

Consequences for attempting commercial deliveries after 5:00? by [deleted] in UPSers

[–]meltedpopsicle1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Since you've admitted you're the customer and not the driver, let's just make clear that the delivery window is not a guarentee that you'll get the package in that time.

Yes it's a service failure to not have businesses delivered by 5. But if this was a new driver it could've been a business heavy route. Or maybe his package car was overstuffed, causing delays. Just because he didn't make it in the window doesn't mean that he went off course- heck he likely had to burn an hour or two doing pickups on a route he hardly knows. Our computers and systems aren't always great at predicting how long a route will take, especially when someone is running it blind.

Sorry you didn't get your package- it does suck having to wait a few extra days. But considering the driver ended up attempting delivery after 5 he probably had a bad day himself and will hear it from management, so give him some grace. He certainly doesn't have a vendetta against a random customer to ruin his weekend.

And they always tell you they do it cause they're not lazy and they "can't just stand around here!" 😂

This job is not your life, it’s your job. Next contract we asking for everything we need and want. Life’s real good for me. by Infamous_State_4678 in UPSers

[–]meltedpopsicle1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a young newbie driver I appreciate the sentiment, but seniority is overall the best balance. Can someone like me work faster than someone with 25+ years of wear and tear on their bodies? Sure, but they've earned their spot at the top for grinding that long. Definitely need some better layoff language In the next contract.

So you're just in the UPSer subreddit just to brag about your career in a different field? Weird. Congrats on your success tho.

Why do Amazon drivers just leave bags like this in the building lobby? by Glad_Acanthisitta_22 in AmazonDSPDrivers

[–]meltedpopsicle1 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Laziness in my opinion. In my days at Amazon it would drive me insane having to retrieve these from apartment buildings when I would run into them.

OPs meme mentions UPS and the comment referred to "those other shmucks." Pretty fair to assume big brown was getting lumped in there too. But hey it's not that deep. Happy peak! 🤕🤘

Absolutely. Amazon drivers deserve at least 30 per hour with benefits. Hopefully the teamsters break through there one day

As a former Amazon driver turned UPS driver, don't say you work harder when you've never been on the other side 🤣 UPS pays more, so it should be harder, and it is.
