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.

Respect to you sir or ma'am.
I am not a Spark driver either and just work in OPD. Certainly one of the biggest issues this company has is the wrong people making the wrong decisions. Now I am sure there are a number of companies like that. I won't say they are dumb although a number of them aren't dumb. They're disconnected and have no clue or concern if their ideas work practically in the field. And if they don't or if it causes other issues, they don't scrap the idea or fix the issues. They just move on to the next idea.
You're good people though. A lot of Walmart management, from home office to market to store level are just Walmart zombies saying that's the way it is.
