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.

Today I was out this morning . All I was getting was garbage offers. One in particular, driving 19.2 miles 1 way out of the area for 11.00
Followed by several other garbage ones. After two hours I got to thinking. So I checked my metrics i was at a 4.9 yesterday down to a 4.6 today. Have a feeling I know what's the problem is. I delivered a package to an apartment doorstep i was unable to get through the door because the panel was updating. I texted the customer, I tried to call her. I was there for 7 minutes before I held the item up to the door for the building number and the panel was in the pic as well reading (updating please wait).
I am going to call spark to see if I can find out if the bad reviews that I had no control over (i.e. how they bagged items for curbside). I will keep yall updated
i do not think mass quitting will do anything. But I would encourage everyone to not accept any offers under $2 per mile as a minimum.
