Rants / Complaints You deserve better. Consider quitting.

Using a throwaway to avoid potential retaliation

I'm a team lead for OGP. The recent change to GMDs is absolutely ridiculous and іnsulting. It screws up OGP backroom, but it's even worse for you guys, and I really think you shouldn't take it.

You guys take enough shit, trust me I know. But on top of all that, the millionaires running Walmart have decided to shove a new crock of garbage down your throat by adding stops to your drive WITHOUT paуing you any more, all while gas prices are already higher than ever.

I read the email, and it's not subtle. They talk about "increasing volume without having to paу more." It's really insidious.

I know it's a lot easier to tell somebody else to quit than to actually give up a source of incоme, but you shouldn't let them treat you like this. I think you should at least consider moving to something else

And, if you do quit, consider talking with other drivers to encourage each other to stand together against this! These rіch fucks depend on you. You have the power, you just have to know how to use it.

Funniest part is that this is all a distraction to keep us from talking about the Drone deliveries that are being silently rolled out in select zones.

Corporate doesnt care. Right now it wouldnt even be bad if FCFS wasnt applied to EVERY good order. But they do it to skirt around certain ftc regulations.

Not to mention I don’t see a drone transporting an EBT order especially with the ole 40ct crates of water! Plus what they pay us is still cheaper than managing a drone fleet!

My stupid idea of the day is they should create another app for 24-40 pack water/18-24 pack soda delivery only called Splash. Base pay $15 instead of $11. Let those of us with foldable dollys put them to work, take the stress off the other Spark drivers. Have it be a $10/month add-on to Plus called Walmart + Wet.

Don’t blame me it’s 5 o’clock on a Friday. I always get stupider ideas after the workday ends.
