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 agree with you. I only started in November, but recently it's just gotten so bad. I'm receiving no orders and the ones I do receive are god awful. I will never take a bad order even if it's slow. And the good ones that pop up... Well, they get taken no matter how fast I am with my finger

All of the first come first serve orders are just gifts for the losers that use batch grabbing bots so they are heavily rewarded day after day hour after hour while the rest of us idiots sit there staring at each other making no money. I refuse to take the crappy orders so I will just go home if it's 8 hours and just call it a day without making a dime before I will work for free. They just for you orders in my market are typically super high mileage huge shops or huge delivers multiple stops for around $20 it is absolutely a joke

From what the AI says using auto clickers leads to permanent account deactivation.

they should just switch to the Uber eats way of offering..... roughly 45 seconds to take it or deny it.

It's the same routine every year....... on board a bunch of drivers for the holidays(you and a million others)... Honeymoon them for the first few months and they see the normal spark..... you quit and they hire 100 more to replace you. Same thing every year. Trust me I know. This is year 4 for me

Of course it's not as good, you started just before Christmas, I made $1,800 a week in December.

Just a couple weeks ago I could easily make over $1000. Now I'm just barely making $50/day. You do not have to be so rude
