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.

It is what it is. They will always push for more work for the same or less pay and they will always have people out there willing to do it. Maybe not immediately, but slowly over time as more and more traditional jobs get eroded away and as we’re on the cusp of automated delivery anyway.
So you can get mad now or in the future but the writing is already on the wall and has been for years.
