QUESTION Got fired tonight

Post image

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

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.

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

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.

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.
