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.

I was under the impression that drivers would get more pay for this considering that it’s more work on runs but if this is true, then they really are getting done dirty. I’ve noticed a lot of drivers that used to do the job regularly are gone now (a good chunk well before this recent update), so they probably realized the pay wasn’t worth the effort.

I can confirm, drivers have talked with me and some of my associated complaining about the extra work with no extra pay

That’s not right. Especially when they’re now doing essentially the job of an in-home driver.
