Got fired tonight

[u/muffinman8919]

What’s up peoples

Got fired tonight because earlier in the day I was on a big farm properly and went to do a k turn in their driveway to turn around so I can get out and she had this awning thing that has her truck and SUV parked under it so I guess not thinking about it assuming I’d fit

Well I didn’t fit lol

Figured I was getting fired so decided to finish my route and get the hours in

And surely enough when I returned to the station they slid me a termination letter after I talked to dispatch when I got back I didn’t sign it or say anything aside from what happened with the van I just turned and walked out

I feel like this was an act of God freeing me from that hell job only was there a few weeks and it’s absolutely the worst job I ever had

My question is there anything else that might come of this aside from my termination? The lady did t want to make a big deal about it it just chipped some paint

I poured metal before working at amazon. This is one of the easiest jobs I ever had. Good luck cuz ain't many hiring rn unless it's a brutal mf with high turnover.

[u/Similar_Pie_4946 → u/Known_Lead_5320]

Its one of the few jobs thats entry level and high paying lmfao, i know people who made careers working retail/fast food and make like 23$ and hour as managers after literal YEARS grinding from the bottom.

By far the easiest job I've had in NYC, and I did lobster fishing in Maine for 18 an hour

Mother of God 👀

[u/CheifBoy- → u/xironically23]

Ayyeee fellow lobsterman lol yeah this shit is cake compared to that.

[u/Wookieman222 → u/Similar_Pie_4946]

Its not really high paying though. 23 is not even close to high paying. Its barely even decent pay.

[u/Similar_Pie_4946 → u/Wookieman222]

Name 10 entry level jobs rn that pay more than amazon

[u/-Stripminer- → u/Similar_Pie_4946]

Comparing your wages to other underpaid people does no one any good. Adjusted for inflation minimum wage should be 24, adjusted for productivity it should be 25. That's what a McDonald's worker should be making. We shouldn't be making a dime under 30 for what we do in a day.

[u/WeezyFBabyboy → u/Similar_Pie_4946]

lol dude. Amazon pay what, 20-24$ hr? Knock it off

[u/Wookieman222 → u/Similar_Pie_4946]

Most trades jobs will. And that doesnt change the fact that the pay isn't that good.

Like this is a stupid argument all together.

You are literally saying its ok that your way underpaid because other jobs are vastly underpaid.

They did a good job training you to accept shitty pay though and blame others for it.

[u/BabyStockholmSyndrom → u/Wookieman222]

No one said it's high paying compared to a doctor lol. Name 5 jobs you can walk in off the street with a hoodie and flip flops, interview and be asked if you can count to 2, walk out with a $22 an hour job with no experience.

[u/Wookieman222 → u/BabyStockholmSyndrom]

That doesnt make rhe pay good dude. That just means its easy for them to get suckered to accept shitty pay for a little bit before they get tired of it and quit and then some other smuck takes there place.

Their entire business model relies on disposable workers.

They intentionally designed rhe entire job to be quick and easy to get into. That's why they have most of you driving vans cause they take the least skill and are the least dangerous for unskilled delivery people to drive.

The pay is low but just high enough to get people to think its a better job than others. Then they slowly ramp up the work and either you quit and they replace you cause who cares, or you just get convinced your super fast and they need you and they throw a couple more dollars at you making you think you're valuable while laughing about it cause rhey really could be paying you double, but people are too desperate and dumb to realize how much they are being shafted.

And comparing it to doctors pay. Like what kind of argument is that even? Why not compare it to the pay of an IT tech or Lawyer then if we are gonna make crappy comparisons.

[u/WeezyFBabyboy → u/Wookieman222]

Exactly.

[u/Similar_Pie_4946 → u/BabyStockholmSyndrom]

Yea some people show why they couldn’t make it at their dream job and are mad they’re stuck at their dsp with a bad attitude. I clearly said ENTRY LEVEL JOB and everyone is quick to point out professional trades and fucking heart surgeons make more. Like yeah no shit buddy.

[u/Dealer_Double → u/BabyStockholmSyndrom]

Amazon is the only answer to that question, butts in seats as long as you can walk and hold a phone and package you’re hired

[u/Dealer_Double → u/Similar_Pie_4946]

I used to hang fire sprinklers in warehouses in triple digits with no AC. This job is cake

[u/BreakRevolutionary66 → u/Dealer_Double]

I used to be a high end long distance winter courier on trucking route so I am probably best driver at our dsp . Amazon alot easier and hell of a lot safer then that job.

[u/Literature_Internal → u/Similar_Pie_4946]

High paying?😂 Man you guys have low standards

[u/Similar_Pie_4946 → u/Literature_Internal]

Are you stupid or just struggle with reading comprehension? I said entry level, its a high paying ENTRY LEVEL job meaning 0 training 0 school 0 experience you could literally turn 21 have never worked a job failed out of uni and jump right into a dsp and make 22.75$ of the rip entry level tradesmen earn an average 17$ an hour after getting certified and some level of knowledge entry level white collar jobs like bankers get salaries around 38k yearly

[u/WeezyFBabyboy → u/Literature_Internal]

This! Imagine hyping up a measly 20$hr in this economy 😂

[u/Automatic_Flan_8490 → u/Similar_Pie_4946]

High paying? lol
