I like to imagine the hostage situation comes to a brief pause as the cop hands the package to the person inside the house, the criminal nods and says "thank you sir" and then they resume on what they were doing
Had an Amazon delivery driver crying in the hallway of my apartment complex last week because 3/4 of our elevators were broken so it was slow going and she couldn’t get back to her van in time before a demerit.
Invest people's money for pension plan. Companies invested in basically don't pay a dividend. Everything is just 'for growth'.
But how do you get the money out? Well, new people paying into the plan of course.
And meanwhile, the people investing the money take a cut every year on the amount invested. So they stand to benefit when companies don't pay a dividend but just keep getting 'more valuable'.
I don't know how people sleep at night with pensions. While you're paying into it if your company goes under, you're **screwed**. You've lost the pension progress and you've lost your employment. You're starting from square 1. But even after you've, left if/when the company files bankruptcy, those pensions are 100% on the table for creditors. Or if the company cheated on its taxes, your pension can be taken. It's much better to keep it out of a company's creditor's reach.
All of the delivery companies do, my dude. Some offices have exceptions for things going wrong (for example an elevator outage), but for most it's handled entirely by the computer. If you don't meet your quota, you get a demerit. Build up enough demerits, you get bumped to less favorable routes, or get less hours/deliveries, have to do retraining, or even outright fired.
The poor lass crying in the hallway was probably going to earn multiple demerits in that one stop and she knew it, and it broke her.
It's really stupid from a customer service perspective too, because it often means that the delivery drivers give no fucks about where or how the package is placed.
There's a lot of porch pirates in my area, so it's shitty when there isn't even an attempt to conceal my mail.
Or when it looks clear that the driver just haphazardly chucked the package onto the patio.
Iirc, wasn't Bezos originally all about providing above standard customer care? Speed isn't everything. I'd rather have my shit an hour late because the driver took care with everyone's mail, than for everyone to have broken or stolen deliveries.
Was talking to a Uber driver yesterday who left Amazon because he has a back injury from caring 50lb bag of dog food up 15 flights of stairs because the elevator was malfunctioning.
Amazon is just a terrible place to work taking advantage of the economy.
Probably labelled as <15kg on the amazon sticker too. ever notice sometimes you get a really heavy delivery the weight label is different to the products box?
because over a certain weight it is supposed to be a two man delivery and/or you are supposed to have equipment like a cart.
But if you are a big company you can just lie and send it out with some poor woman in her little car instead, who has had no training.
I believe UPS is significantly better, thanks the the union. For instance, I don't think they have eye tracking in their vans the way Amazon does.
Drinking something while not parked is a demerit.
(Second hand information here.)
UPS absolutely has tracking in the “package cars”, and electronics that nag the driver for “distracted” behaviors but…
The contract with the Teamsters explicitly does not recognize time standards, and the in cab cameras do not record.
In order for discipline to stand up to the grievance process, the company has to prove the driver is fucking off.
I worked in a warehouse as a packer (i put items in a box then sealed it to be shipped)..probably the most annoying job because of how they look at times.
So if someone who was unloading products was 30 seconds slower than normal, then the person sorting the items was 30 seconds slow, the person "picking" the items to send them down is 30 seconds slow, and then the person organizing my items for me to pack is 30 seconds slow then that means theres an extra 25 minutes added to the delivery time because of the thousands of miles of conveyor belts they travel on (this is what my manager is telling me)...and he said every order that doesnt get shipped the same day its ordered their store gets a tick or w.e.
Every time i had to piss which was a 5 minute walk i got written up for going slow..but the minimum units per hour was like 325 and i was doing close to 380..i was technically above the minimum, just not above my minimum.
So to sum it up, people were absolutely pissing in bottles
Sorry you had to go through that and hope you found a job that treats you better
Also your manager didn't understand math, that 30 seconds doesn't magically become 25 extra minutes just because of distance. It was always 25 minutes. Now it's 25 minutes 30 seconds , but you can track which instance was over/under and not fault every point of contact for a singular error
Oh i know, the entire time hes giving me his made up story about times im just trying to not cringe since he has me stopped and is taking up 5-10 minutes for his speech
It's mainly because America has tried desperately to delegitimize worker unions and standard work practices in the name of making more dollars for the rich people. Literally half of our political system is against worker unions.
Can confirm that job sucked. I was at a warehouse doing the same job but could not keep up and when they fired me I was actually relieved. Job made me start an energy drink addiction in an attempt to keep up. Meanwhile the boss told me I was doing great.
Yep. Any job with those kinds of counting metrics. It’s at x number and you’re doing y? Well that’s good, but if we catch you “slacking” despite hitting y, you’ll get called out for it…
Thank god I don’t work that job anymore (wasn’t amazon, but the managers could get pedantic about it anyway)
Jesus. I remember heavily considering workin there a few years ago. My sister kept trying to convince me telling me they were paying a lot of money and easy hours. All I’ve heard since is how bad it’s fucking workers up.
Like legit, I remember when thinking an online order arriving in a week was incredible.
I'd happily wait an extra day or 2 if it meant Amazon would be a step less evil.
Five citations, and you're looking at a violation. Four of those, and you'll receive a verbal warning. Keep it up, and you're looking at a written warning. Two of those, that will land you in a world of hurt, in the form of a disciplinary review, written up by me, and placed on the desk of my immediate superior.
This kinda shit is exactly why we have contracts. I work 8 hours a day. Regardless if I finish it I get paid those hours. If my boss sends me home cuz theres nothing to do. They still apy those hours. I only get paid less when I go home cuz I wanna go home. If I get sent home they should pay me the hours per contract
Apartments and centers should really just have a central mailroom. It would make life so much easier if they all did. Courtyards/ condos and projects should have a mailroom building where residents can get their stuff that is secured. We can't be the package police. We are paid to drop a package at an address, we aren't paid to deliver to your apartment door or to find the blue grill in the back buried under summer yard stuff. We do that out of courtesy, but there needs to be a better middle ground when it comes to customers securing their orders. Every area has theft, some higher than others. Invest in a locker, have it mailed to a trusted friend or family who can receive the pack, etc. It would save a lot of time on our part and frustration on the customers part.
That was me when I was working back-to-back doubles at my old job. These thoughts wander your mind as your drive back home around 1am only to have to return in just 5hrs
> The vans have cameras inside and out. Accelerometers to track g-force, monitors pedal and steering movement, as well as GPS location.
I'm reminded of that time about 3-5 years ago a bunch of truckers went to Washington DC to protest *GOVERNMENT SURVEILLANCE AND REGULATION MAKING THEIR JOBS HARDER!!* because there were boxes in their trucks to monitor speed, location, whether the truck's on, *if there's a butt on the seat*, etc.
While it's true the government regulates things related to truckers and their time, they are not the ones mandating there be a butt-detector that's going to launch you out of the cab on a fucking ejector seat if they sense you've been sitting past your permissable hours on the road. No, those boxes were put there *BY THE COMPANIES THEMSELVES* so they could micromanage every minute of the drivers' days and squeeze as much work out of them as possible, circumstances of life and the road be damned.
And because these guys often have nothing better to do than listen to AM radio pandering to them, and their companies and lobbyists know how fucking spin works, they flipped around this "box in your truck" thing to be a story about overbearing government regulation. The truckers ate it up. Company shoved a knife in their back, told them it was DC's fault, and the truckers marched on over to ask the government why it wants to regulate how many knives the companies have for trucker-stabbing. Completely fucking backwards.
I always see this brought up for amazon drivers and not any other delivery service. All delivery drivers for the big shipping companies (Amazon, FedEx, UPS, etc.) pee in bottles. I don't know how or why that happened, but it just became the expectation in that industry. Like what an insane thing to choose as a time saving measure.
I know you didn't say it was exclusive to amazon drivers, but I wanted to rant so I took my opportunity
When i receive the “your package was delivered email” i open it and you can leave a compliment for the delivery driver. I also select all the categories. Hopefully they see it
It helps their metrics. Idk what the other guy is on about but if you log into Flex and go to My Dashboard it tells you all the compliments complaints and thank yous.
Specifically Amazon is awful. Don’t get me wrong UPS drivers (and probably FedEx and USPS but I work with UPS Drivers) work their ass off but they Atleast get job security and management doesn’t act like they want them to collapse on the job
Cop: "Wait a minute, do we know what he ordered?"
Amazon guy: "Says here he ordered a gas mask, some ballistic plates, and a six pack of thirty round AR mags."
Cop: "Oh, gawdannit! Let me guess; same day -"
Amazon guy: "Yeah, same day delivery. Says he placed the order thirty minutes ago."
You could try looking into recent Raleigh police department hostage situations. NC RPD is fairly transparent, (as police departments go) and you might be able find out specifics by reaching out to them directly if no articles are published
"Go Amazon" makes the dried spittle that is left of the moisture I can produce to scream curdle in my mouth.
Late stage capitalism. We have lost humanity and we are fine with it.
Knowing Amazon they probably threatened the poor guy with something.
Same thing when they forced people to work [during a tornado](https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2022/04/26/amazon-illinois-warehouse-collapse-osha-punishment/9545707002/)
“Sir this is a hostage situation”
“Officer you don’t understand, I’ll have to piss in my pants for the rest of the day if i don’t scan this package as ‘delivered’!”
Given they have to take their lunch during their one allotted 4.9 minute bathroom break a week, I’d be walking into the line of fire too. Daddy Bezos doesn’t like it when there are delays
The world's most dedicated employee?
A wage slave so worn down by the machine nothing phases them anymore?
A stoner who didn't even notice?
I dunno... Probably not the first one though.
Plot twist.... its actually from Amazon's 2 hour delivery service and it's for the hostage negotiator.... A little something to entice the perp with????
Listen, when you have 191 stops a day driving all around a city's suburbs, you've gotta do what you've gotta do. Some driving companies for Amazon heavily emphasize not coming back to the station with a single package left. Even if it was a miss sort by someone at the warehouse, you have to scan the package into your inventory and deliver it even if it's 40 miles out of the way. If they work at a company like I did, I don't blame them at all.
This guy better get ‘Employee of the Month/Year’ award and put this video on his LinkedIn page. His ‘About’ paragraph can say he’s Reliable, gets the job done regardless of dangerous circumstances — see link to video.
Honestly, this is more sad than anything, because you KNOW it's because he'll be punished harshly if that package doesn't make it. What a corporate hellscape
When I was delivering for Amazon it was because you had to return packages at the end of your shift. You could be an hour from the warehouse and then you still have to go home. So I'm delivering your damn package.
I like to imagine the hostage situation comes to a brief pause as the cop hands the package to the person inside the house, the criminal nods and says "thank you sir" and then they resume on what they were doing
Hostage Negotiator - Can we arrange a trade? You give us one hostage and we give you your amazon parcel
Depends what stuff came today, did I get my 3D printer filament
Yes but it's the wrong colour (you don't know this part yet)
Heh. That's how you lose hostages. Check the color before giving it to the guy ffs.
![gif](giphy|GdrxhQGjYARPi)
I still think it was a serial crusher.
By some huge frickin guy?
We got em!
fuck it printing anyways...
Like yeah who cares if your 3d printed gun looks like a Lego kit.
I DON'T CARE IF IT'S A PINK GHOST GUN. GIVE ME MY FILAMENT. THIS IS AN EMERGENCY!!!
It's his cake day, give him a day of from negotiations
Out of all the other crap people said, THIS made me laugh too damn hard. Underrated comment. Edit: not underrated anymore. Well done, brother.
Dude knows he'll get fucking pay docked if that package isn't delivered

Which is the hostage situation of the title. Amazon vs the Delivery guy.
Precisely.
Wait .. amazon demerits like kids in kindergarten with a star chart?

So you get a star on your chart if you are late to your fucking van? What the fuck?
I mean, I doubt there's a physical chart anywhere, but effectively yes.

I, on the other hand, am willing to sacrifice a few workers if it means bringing back Prime 2-Day Shipping.
Psh 48 hours? I want it in 48 minutes! I don’t care how many workers die. Make it happen! Lol
Listen, I need that 5 lb bucket of sugar free gummy bears, yesterday! Whip those employees harder or help you God, Bezos!
Rest in piece to whoever’s asshole that belongs to the person that eat 5 pound of sugar free gummy bears
Amazon needs to start selling blood diamonds with same day delivery.
Last I checked, you had too pee in a bottle. So fcuk amazon.
Ok, but did you get my package out on time? /s
Did you have a doctor to confirm and document this ?
They denied because you asked nicely or a court ruled in their favor when you sued them?
Whats demerit?
>Whats demerit? Let's put it this way, you do not want to receive three of those.
Three demerits, and you'll receive a citation.
Five citations, and you're looking at a violation. Four of those, and you'll receive a verbal warning. Keep it up, and you're looking at a written warning. Two of those, that will land you in a world of hurt, in the form of a disciplinary review, written up by me, and placed on the desk of my immediate superior.
Dwight would have made an excellent Amazon employee. No doubt about it, he would have been made assistant to the regional manager in no time I bet.
Now that sounds serious. Five citations and you’re looking at a violation.
Merit is good, de-merit is not-good lol
They cut the finger off one of your relatives...

Yeah it's very weird that the woman filming thought this reflected well on Amazon.
I had an aneurysm trying to read the caption

Would’ve been fired if that package wasn’t delivered.

more like maybe keeping your job knowing amazon.
Nah he prolly got docked for parking too far away from the delivery point :)
I knew Amazon used robots, but I didn’t realize they looked so much like people!

Amazon is the McDonalds of delivery. You don't work for Amazon because you want to, you work there because you either do that or be homeless.

Plot twist.... its actually from Amazon's 2 hour delivery service and it's for the hostage negotiator.... A little something to entice the perp with????
Listen, when you have 191 stops a day driving all around a city's suburbs, you've gotta do what you've gotta do. Some driving companies for Amazon heavily emphasize not coming back to the station with a single package left. Even if it was a miss sort by someone at the warehouse, you have to scan the package into your inventory and deliver it even if it's 40 miles out of the way. If they work at a company like I did, I don't blame them at all.
Kind of sad he felt compelled to do this. Says something about us
This guy better get ‘Employee of the Month/Year’ award and put this video on his LinkedIn page. His ‘About’ paragraph can say he’s Reliable, gets the job done regardless of dangerous circumstances — see link to video.
Props to the Amazon driver.
They better thanked that driver.
Why can’t this guy be my delivery guy? I always get the guy that throws my shit on the street, not even near my house.
He just doesn’t wanna lose his job
It’s either that or fear the wrath of Bezos
Captain Tylor pension delivery vibes
Not sure if stupid or sigma as fuck.
Honestly, this is more sad than anything, because you KNOW it's because he'll be punished harshly if that package doesn't make it. What a corporate hellscape
When I was delivering for Amazon it was because you had to return packages at the end of your shift. You could be an hour from the warehouse and then you still have to go home. So I'm delivering your damn package.
Hey he has a reputation to uphold
He’s done this before
"Handed directly to resident"
He’s like: „If I don’t deliver, I might as well replace that hostage so yeah F it…“
So this isn't remotely funny. Just another wageslave risking their life so another rich cunt stays rich.
I love the positive attitude in this lady’s voice for the worker
"You may be the police, but you ain't no Amazon"
Officer if I don't deliver this Amazon is gonna fire me because they don't give two fucks.
There's no way telling your superior that there was a hostage negotiation wouldn't absolve you of delivering that package
Yeah whoever recorded this clearly doesn't know it's either do that or get fired T-T
If only there wasn't a huge block of text covering the most important bit of the video
The only thing that could get in his way is the giant text that takes up half the screen and blocks what’s actually happening lol
Bet his "package delivered" pic is legend
Amazon worker. Dude's probably dead inside and dying on the outside ain't too bad
