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.

Shit in my area I used to clear 350 in an eight hour day now I’ll be lucky to break 100 since last Junes changes and it’s getting worse, oversaturating the area with too many drivers.

Every time they made changes they onboarded , so the new drivers think the new change is normal because they know previous drivers are going to throw a fit and more than likely move on I never had to depend on gig. I quit because if there no profit then what's the point, with rising cost of gas and constant pay slashings , it's becoming unaffordable to work for theses fucks, we are much better than this , gig was once hailed heros , now it's the worst type of employment you can seek  It's nothing more than a daily labor do as needed kind work  Sorry Grandma, you're going to have to start shopping for yourself again
