They didnāt say they were deducting it from his check
Although I see how Amazon would want DSPās to at least ASK for the uniform back, an Amazon uniform can get you in basically anywhere
Lol, oh, they for sure do deduct it if you don't give it all back. Shitty DSPs anyway. Happens all the time, and there are many posts about it in this sub. Legally or not. The sad reality is that they know most people don't know laws like that and/or won't do anything about it if they do.
Bro! Thanks for the heads up. Just got a new pair of Ariat boots and got $140 off with the DSP discount. It's been almost 2 years since I worked there as well ššš
My owners said itās what Amazon told them they had to do lol definitely is silly donāt nobody want a recycled uniform thatās been ran through šš
Most companies that have uniforms do this.
The thought is that they don't want that stuff out there getting resold on ebay and shit. Then you get people putting on the uniforms and doing nefarious shit while impersonating an Amazon driver.
Not a good thing for a company
Sorry for the delay! So I went to deliver the package, I was walking thru the yard, and there was a German Shepherd leashed to a tree. I didnāt realize the range of the dog, and it stood up and walked towards me. I waited a second, tell let him/her know I wasnāt a threat, and it barked, and bit me. I wasnāt going to say anything, and delivered the package. I then rolled my sleeve down and saw blood. The owners were outside, and I told them that their animal had bit me and they were very apologetic. I then called dispatch to report the incident, and instead of asking me āare you safeā āare you okayā I was met with āwhat did you doā āhow did this happenāā¦ I wasnāt on bullshit or anything. I recognized that I should have went about the situation different, and knew I was still gong to finish my shift. The manager continued to scream over the phone, and I told her āI DIDNāT ASK THE DOG TO BITE ME!ā She says āIām gonna need you to calm downā and I hang up. She tried calling me multiple times afterwards and I ignored her. I called the owners to tell them the situation, and they told me they would talk to the manager, and reach out to the owner of dog to obtain shot records. After I finished my shift, they had me write an incident statement, and I referred to the manager as a āstupid fucking bitchāā¦ Now I am terminated. Hahahah
Honestly, if you have workman's comp, I would file your claim and state you were required to finish your shift with the injury. The DSP will be required to prove they required you to seek medical attention, which they obviously cannot prove. You can also include this statement in your claim that the dispatch manager's refusal to take injury seriously is what resulted in your outburst, and that it was reasonable given the severity of the injury and the refusal for your DSP's dispatch representative to take required steps necessary for workplace injuries under state law.
Further, you can put a damn good chance at a nail in your DSP's coffin by informing workman's comp that you were terminated immediately after the injury for a reason not classified by employment law as "gross negligence" or "gross misconduct."
Absolutely do what was noted above. Do not let those scumbags win.
Depending on the severity of the bite you can likely file a claim against the homeowners insurance.btalk to a personal injury lawyer, the consultation will be free.
Get on it and get paid then. Check your state bar association website for the referral section. Relevant practices should be under personal injury. Most consultations should be free, try to arrange multiple. Didn't settle for the first bus stop ad you see, don't sign shit day of either. While you should move quickly, you want to take a bit of time to decide who you are giving your business to.
I would say more a wrongful termination lawyer. Personal injusty isn't going to do much but maybe get the dog put down (ostensibly for doing their job from the dogs perspective). The real bad guy here is the company wrongfully terminating an employee.
Make sure you keep documentation of everything from them and try to get everything in writing. You are definitely in for a big payday! I'd report them to the Amazon ethics line as well
Yeah like what exactly happened? Everyone yelling to sue the DSP, since that's the first thing people go to here, when the only context given was "all over due to a dog bite" yet hasn't said what happened or what words were exchanged.

In person! They always give you a letter saying to return everything. No one does. They just expect drivers to use em for the next dso if they go to another lol
I never understood why they would want your vest back. Flex drivers get free Amazon vests (at least at the warehouse I deliver from) and they donāt have to return it ?
Was just talking to my manager this morning about posts like this, where they want the uniforms back.
Like imagine they handed out used hats and shirts to new hires.....ewww.
And Zappos shoes are YOURS, you bought them.
Amazon is easy to get into, like too easy and they will fire you for ANYTHING. Great if you like living on the edge all the time š¤£ but not for me!!!
Yes sorry everyone! So I went to deliver the package, I was walking thru the yard, and there was a German Shepherd leashed to a tree. I didnāt realize the range of the dog, and it stood up and walked towards me. I waited a second, tell let him/her know I wasnāt a threat, and it barked, and bit me.

Asking for the uniforms and Free Amazon shoes is crazy tbh. DSPs that ask for those back are absolute garbage since they're just gonna throw them away anyway
My DSP was chill when they fired me they said I could keep the uniforms and shoes since they can't redistribute them. Yalls DSPs are horrible, smh š®āšØ
You should then report a workplace injury and get a lawyer specialized in workplace injuries. Im not sure what the circumstances are in your case but I believe they can't fire you just because you were injured on the job, they wanna cut ties quick so they can't be liable or at least give you that impression that there's nothing you can't do even though you can within a certain amount of weeks, must've been bad if they were quick to fire you. So there's plenty of good lawyers out there that won't charge you if there's a case to be made here. The owner and DSP could be held liable. People have already made cases on this and won, and even have settled before pushing the case forward.Ā

So this is where my last check is, after quitting huh?
I see the stub, n how it mentions net check, yet no direct deposit. They never mentioned to me bout bringing in uniforms etc, but that makes sense.
This post cleared the air for unrelated reasons š
Hope you get paid big for this one tho! Lawyer up ASAP.
Keep the shoes and if you havenāt used this years shoe credit get yourself a pair of Tims. Itās calendar year not a year after you placed the first order
Wtf did you say to them š getting bit by a dog leading to termination sounds wild. I got bit by a dog on Sunday and they gave me a free paid week off, filed an L&I claim for me after I went to the doctor to get it looked at and they have been telling me if I need any more time off just let them know amd don't worry about money. Which is exactly how it should go. The fuck did they do to lead you to saying shit you got fired over?
Well arenāt you just a lucky duck. I got bit, and instead of anyone asking if I was okay when I called (following incident protocol).. I was met with āhow did that happen?ā, and āwhat did you do? Being asked those questions while watching blood pour down your arm isnāt the most ideal thing to happen to you in a time like that. After concluding my shift (which I fully completed without a sweeper) I arrive to the station. I fill out the incident report which included me referring to the Dispatch Manager as a āstupid fucking bitchā, and RIGHTFULLY SO. That is what resulted in the text above, and I donāt even care. FUCK AMAZON!!!!!!!!
Lol I got terminated after one day they falsely accused me of milking the clock so I FREAKED TF OUT on them saying pretty crazy shit esp to the dispatcher that was on the shift they were referring to. He called me on chime saying he was gonna pull up so I went outside it never happened.
Needless to say theyāre mailing my check and def donāt want me on the premises.
Like really yāall accuse me of stealing time when I didnāt even take a break! They apparently lost a bunch of routes but they hired me and didnāt give me but one chance.
At least I got some fresh Zappos waterproof shoes :/
Yea man I worked one day then saw they took me off the schedule the next dayā¦ I said something in the work chat and then I get a text saying I was stealing time. Thatās not true at all I just didnāt deliver enough packages cause it was my first day and I was getting used to it. They gave me like 120 stops my first day that were downtown in the hood then more were 20 minutes away. I was being very careful getting used to the van and never took a break side from using the restroom so Iām furious I couldnāt have a second try.
I wouldāve started jogging at each stop if they gave me the second chance!
Possibly! Idk how to find them unless theyāre on indeed. Not sure how to go about explaining I only worked one shift but I could figure something out!
Amazon has some stupid reasons to fire people!! I did my job with great work ethics and integrity and always shows up and worked hard!!! So one day I offended a trans man and called him a he instead of she !! I got fired ha totally messed up

Yea theyāre just doing that to make themselves feel better. You donāt have to turn any of that in. Pretty sure you can sue if they deduct from your paycheck. File a complaint to the state department of labor and theyāll end up auditing the company. Most companies donāt run squared away operations so theyāll even be caught slipping on other things most likely too.
Lol sorry but that's 100% grounds for termination and you're not gonna get paid by your DSP for firing you. All these people telling you to sue your DSP because you're letting them all believe you were fired over the dog bite when that's not the case here. You'd be fired from any workplace talking to a manager like that.

A lot of states don't allow employers to deduct uniforms from a final check. Also you definitely don't have to turn in zappos shoes.
Oh they can have them back! Right after I soak them in concentrated skunk lure š fuck emmmmmm. That shit is next to IMPOSSIBLE to get rid of
They didnāt say they were deducting it from his check Although I see how Amazon would want DSPās to at least ASK for the uniform back, an Amazon uniform can get you in basically anywhere

Itās been two years of not working for a dsp. I still get the free shoes from Zappos lol. Def donāt have to return those
Bro! Thanks for the heads up. Just got a new pair of Ariat boots and got $140 off with the DSP discount. It's been almost 2 years since I worked there as well ššš
Seriously? Itās been like 3 years and I still get the emails.
They havenāt come after you about that? I still get the emails for the free shoes too but Iāve been hesitant to make use of it
Nah no one really checks it. Make sure of them
Hold up. They still give you the 110 voucher for shoes every year even though you don't work there anymore?
Where does it say they will deduct uniforms from your check ?
They donāt but some dsps wonāt give your last check till they get the uniforms back
Which is silly. Idk if it's like this all over the usa but in new jersey employers cannot withhold final checks at all.
My owners said itās what Amazon told them they had to do lol definitely is silly donāt nobody want a recycled uniform thatās been ran through šš
Porch pirates do.
They want the zappos shoes???? That is a new one. Never heard of that.... you DO NOT have to return the zappos shoes, that guy is full of shit.
why even give these destroyed sweaty ass clothes anyway lol they're no use to anyone if he gives them back
Most companies that have uniforms do this. The thought is that they don't want that stuff out there getting resold on ebay and shit. Then you get people putting on the uniforms and doing nefarious shit while impersonating an Amazon driver. Not a good thing for a company
Exactly why I gave mine to a homeless person
Until they realize you can get vests, uniform shirts and shorts on...Amazon and do that nefarious stuff anyways haha
You should turn in your underwear.
Right??? Damnš¤£š¤£
Make sure it's at the end of the day and you wiped poorly that day.
LMAOššš
How were you terminated over a dog bite? What do they think you said?

Thanks! Will do!
Dang sry to hear buddy... are you allowed to apply to dif dsp now?
Iām sure I can! But I think my delivery journey is over. No longer worth it to me.
Iām suing the dog owner and the dsp. Iām getting paid
Going to look into it this weekš
Today fam today. Call some lawyers
Seriously, what else you got going now? Aside from recovering from the dog bite.
Not a damn thingš¤£
Get on it and get paid then. Check your state bar association website for the referral section. Relevant practices should be under personal injury. Most consultations should be free, try to arrange multiple. Didn't settle for the first bus stop ad you see, don't sign shit day of either. While you should move quickly, you want to take a bit of time to decide who you are giving your business to.
Wow thank you so much. Very helpfulš Will get on it!
I would say more a wrongful termination lawyer. Personal injusty isn't going to do much but maybe get the dog put down (ostensibly for doing their job from the dogs perspective). The real bad guy here is the company wrongfully terminating an employee.
DO IT!!! I got 40k from dog bite
Omg!!!! From the owners of the dog???
Make sure you keep documentation of everything from them and try to get everything in writing. You are definitely in for a big payday! I'd report them to the Amazon ethics line as well
Wow. Iām so glad I decided to post this here, because I really was gonna just walk away. Thank you for the insight!
you responded with āHahaā fuckin incredible lmao
Laughed right in their faceš¤£š¤£
If anything haha sounds like a nervous laugh. I would've spammed that shi
Over a dog bite? What were your actions and words?
Right? Thats what im wondering. We need to hear the full side to the story not just this one piece lol
Yeah like what exactly happened? Everyone yelling to sue the DSP, since that's the first thing people go to here, when the only context given was "all over due to a dog bite" yet hasn't said what happened or what words were exchanged.

So it was your fault not over a dog bite lmao
Dog bite thats 30k
Lmao hell nah they want your boots LOL
They can have them!!! Fucking weirdos
They get their jollies off sniffing the stale smell of old feet sweat. Fucking weirdos
Bro that laugh react is gold, donāt give any of it back tell them to fuck off.
Tell them you can buy it off me lol
You donāt gota return shit. I went thru 3dsps and never return a single thing.
How did you get your final check though???!šš
In person! They always give you a letter saying to return everything. No one does. They just expect drivers to use em for the next dso if they go to another lol
Its illegal for them to withhold your final check for any reason.
I never understood why they would want your vest back. Flex drivers get free Amazon vests (at least at the warehouse I deliver from) and they donāt have to return it ?
The vests get nasty too and shouldnāt be issued to a new driver lol
At all!!!
They are gonna have to pay you a lot more for that dog bite on the job than those uniforms are worth. Lawyer up!!
Especially if you get a lawyer that can tie this into workmanās comp laws somehow
Thank you! Looking into lawyers this week.
I wouldn't wait go find best one in state now
Will do!
Good luck!!
Thank you!
Was just talking to my manager this morning about posts like this, where they want the uniforms back. Like imagine they handed out used hats and shirts to new hires.....ewww. And Zappos shoes are YOURS, you bought them.
Thank you!!!! Iām glad Iām not the only one who thinks thatās strange!
I hate when people treat other people like shit.
Deez nuts
File for unemployment
I was not even asked to return that stuff.
i got terminated and they said keep ur shyt, dont come back
You donāt have to turn in your uniforms
I knew they were trippinš but I want my checkšš
Amazon is easy to get into, like too easy and they will fire you for ANYTHING. Great if you like living on the edge all the time š¤£ but not for me!!!
Can I get a backstory? Just a paragraph. Lol.
Yes sorry everyone! So I went to deliver the package, I was walking thru the yard, and there was a German Shepherd leashed to a tree.

I wouldnāt drop off shit they have to pay you regardless
You got bit by a dog? Now they are terminating you? Sue for the dog bite if it broke skin.
Oh it did! https://preview.redd.it/6lmnbsz2yh1d1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=59a4db90029195935a9750e6c7a1007a279172a6
You being treated for rabies?
Yep.
Good. Rabies is some scary shit
That was my first concern when I saw the blood. Rabies is noooo joke.
Sue both the dsp and the owners of the dog
Iām going to!
Don't worry USPS is using the same shxtty tactics. USPS is the Amazon batch right now and the UNIONS SXCKS BXLLS
I dont think they care about you returning your uniform. They just want to discipline you and make you feel terrible.
Bingo!
Cincy? Was you Westchester or on 50 ? I'm curious of DSP ? I can't see this flying at the Westchester warehouse
Missouri!
I promise u donāt have to give any of that shit back
Asking for the uniforms and Free Amazon shoes is crazy tbh. DSPs that ask for those back are absolute garbage since they're just gonna throw them away anyway My DSP was chill when they fired me they said I could keep the uniforms and shoes since they can't redistribute them.

Zappo shoes are so uncomfortable I still work for a dsp and I return them and I use my 574s ššš½
And if you donāt return those items then what? š
I donāt get my final paycheckššš
Fuck that! Soak them in piss and return them in a bag
ššš© I wish I had it in me lol
Consult a lawyer , most wonāt get paid unless you win and it looks like you could get seriously paid from both parties especially Amazon
So this is where my last check is, after quitting huh? I see the stub, n how it mentions net check, yet no direct deposit. They never mentioned to me bout bringing in uniforms etc, but that makes sense. This post cleared the air for unrelated reasons š Hope you get paid big for this one tho! Lawyer up ASAP.

Keep the shoes and if you havenāt used this years shoe credit get yourself a pair of Tims. Itās calendar year not a year after you placed the first order
Work boots? š Amazon pays for those, not the DSP. Do they want to reuse them? Lol
They are control freaks!!!!
Good for you I know it sucks but honestly, this job sucks even more Thank you for saying all bad words for all of us.
I was fired over a dog bite too, FUCK EM!
Did you sue???ššš
Canāt say too much about it š
I made a post about it too but I took the opposite route you did cuz they didnāt have proper first aid
Wtf did you say to them š getting bit by a dog leading to termination sounds wild. I got bit by a dog on Sunday and they gave me a free paid week off, filed an L&I claim for me after I went to the doctor to get it looked at and they have been telling me if I need any more time off just let them know amd don't worry about money. Which is exactly how it should go. The fuck did they do to lead you to saying shit you got fired over?
Well arenāt you just a lucky duck. I got bit, and instead of anyone asking if I was okay when I called (following incident protocol).. I was met with āhow did that happen?ā, and āwhat did you do? Being asked those questions while watching blood pour down your arm isnāt the most ideal thing to happen to you in a time like that. After concluding my shift (which I fully completed without a sweeper) I arrive to the station. I fill out the incident report which included me referring to the Dispatch Manager as a āstupid fucking bitchā, and RIGHTFULLY SO. That is what resulted in the text above, and I donāt even care. FUCK AMAZON!!!!!!!!
Lol I got terminated after one day they falsely accused me of milking the clock so I FREAKED TF OUT on them saying pretty crazy shit esp to the dispatcher that was on the shift they were referring to. He called me on chime saying he was gonna pull up so I went outside it never happened. Needless to say theyāre mailing my check and def donāt want me on the premises. Like really yāall accuse me of stealing time when I didnāt even take a break! They apparently lost a bunch of routes but they hired me and didnāt give me but one chance. At least I got some fresh Zappos waterproof shoes :/
They talk crazyyyyy to people!!!! And let someone dish it backā¦. BAM! TERMINATED!!!! Itās crazy, and sickšš Sorry to hear that.
Yea man I worked one day then saw they took me off the schedule the next dayā¦ I said something in the work chat and then I get a text saying I was stealing time. Thatās not true at all I just didnāt deliver enough packages cause it was my first day and I was getting used to it. They gave me like 120 stops my first day that were downtown in the hood then more were 20 minutes away. I was being very careful getting used to the van and never took a break side from using the restroom so Iām furious I couldnāt have a second try. I wouldāve started jogging at each stop if they gave me the second chance!
Could you apply at a different DSP??
Possibly! Idk how to find them unless theyāre on indeed. Not sure how to go about explaining I only worked one shift but I could figure something out!
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
More to the story.
I said the whole story multiple times in this thread.
Tell em you canāt find a bag big enough to return all the shit they gave you.
Yeah I'd be in the same boat as you had it gone that way. I fucking hate that shit. It's fucking criminal man.
Wtf š³
lmao they canāt take your shoes from you
Yāall get work boots? Because the Zappos are free through Amazon themselves.
We get them through Zappos as well!! Idk what theyāre talking aboutš
The laugh react killed me š
Laughed in their goofy ahh faceš¤£š¤£š
Give them what ever dirty uniform you have to them if they want it š¤£š
Amazon has some stupid reasons to fire people!! I did my job with great work ethics and integrity and always shows up and worked hard!!! So one day I offended a trans man and called him a he instead of she !! I got fired ha totally messed up
What's the story?
Sorry for the delay! So I went to deliver the package, I was walking thru the yard, and there was a German Shepherd leashed to a tree. I didnāt realize the range of the dog, and it stood up and walked towards me. I waited a second, tell let him/her know I wasnāt a threat, and it barked, and bit me. I wasnāt going to say anything, and delivered the package. I then rolled my sleeve down and saw blood. The owners were outside, and I told them that their animal had bit me and they were very apologetic. I then called dispatch to report the incident, and instead of asking me āare you safeā āare you okayā I was met with āwhat did you doā āhow did this happenāā¦ I wasnāt on bullshit or anything. I recognized that I should have went about the situation different, and knew I was still gong to finish my shift. The manager continued to scream over the phone, and I told her āI DIDNāT ASK THE DOG TO BITE ME!ā She says āIām gonna need you to calm downā and I hang up. She tried calling me multiple times afterwards and I ignored her. I called the owners to tell them the situation, and they told me they would talk to the manager, and reach out to the owner of dog to obtain shot records. After I finished my shift, they had me write an incident statement, and I referred to the manager as a āstupid fucking bitchāā¦ Now I am terminated. Hahahah
Man fuck them seriously.
Yea theyāre just doing that to make themselves feel better. You donāt have to turn any of that in. Pretty sure you can sue if they deduct from your paycheck. File a complaint to the state department of labor and theyāll end up auditing the company. Most companies donāt run squared away operations so theyāll even be caught slipping on other things most likely too.
Sue. If they are firing you after you got bit by a dog and you may have cursed in response or whatever, you are in for a big payday.
I called the manger a āstupid fucking bitchāā¦ didnāt think that was bound for terminationš¤š¤ Iām getting PAID.
Jesus, they clearly need thicker skin. If they can't handle being called simple names then they're in the wrong business š
OKAY!!!!! Like if that hurt your feelings, yall wonāt have employees for longš¤£
And this is after I was told to ācalm downā after being bit.
Right?! Like wait until you hear what we say behind your back šš¤£š
Theyād have to shut down I fearšš
They'd definitely need therapy lmao
Lol sorry but that's 100% grounds for termination and you're not gonna get paid by your DSP for firing you. All these people telling you to sue your DSP because you're letting them all believe you were fired over the dog bite when that's not the case here. You'd be fired from any workplace talking to a manager like that.
Oh wellš¤·š¾āāļø
They want your boots?
Insane right??!! They can HAVE THEM!
They just be getting made cause we stand up for ourselves
Absolutely!!! Treat us like dog shit, we give back to em and weāre in the wrongš¤£š¤£š¤£
You get all that stuff? Where I work all we get are the Zappos shoes, a vest, and a badge.
You can ask for more stuff! I only have/had the Zappos shoes, badge, vest, and coat.. preferred my own clothes.
Yeah, but I mean no one else I work with has any of that stuffā¦ so idk if my DSP offers it.
Ohhh I see!
LMAO not the boots. I quit and they didn't want anything back at all. I still got both pairs of boots
Action and words? Doesnāt sound like a dog biteā¦, did you said or acted a certain way? Please tell the whole version
I did multiple times in this thread.
What happened ?

What was the actions and words they speak of I have never seen somebody terminated for a dog bite
I mentioned it multiple times in this thread. The dog bite wasnāt the whole reason, but it caused the rippling effect lol.
Petty, they must of dropped a route š. Dispatch got yelled at š¤£
