They’ve got a lot more resolve than I do. I’d have walked out long before this point, but had I been told that before going out on my run, I would have literally walked out there and then.
I’ve walked out of jobs for less.
Maybe unpopular but I feel that it’s encompassed in “resolve”. It doesn’t get easier because you have no choice. Personally I didn’t see any judgement but maybe that’s just me.
It’s a nice compliment. I wonder if it could be inaccurate. Could a person with very little resolve be so absolutely desperate they hang on to a job that is killing them mentally and physically? Just out of fear of the alternative.
So, not “fixity of purpose”.
IDK here, hope you or others have input. (Silly downvoters above, honestly, this is an acceptable discussion to have, no one mandates the upvote if one disagrees.)
yeah no see the difference between you and the guy who worked this job, possibly the previous commenter and me is that i would’ve probably just starved to death at this point.
If these are the options, you clearly don’t want people living here, i’ll take my leave then. As an individual with free will, this is one of the options granted, why not take it up.
I’d have walked out long before this point
If the driver put up with everything until this point, then they probabbly didn’t have a lot of better options. It’s easy enough to say stuff like this, but not everyone has the freedom to quit when unemployment means your family goes back to the foodbank or moves into the car.
It’s not necessarily a lack of options, it’s also about the inertia of having the job and getting over the hump of deciding to look elsewhere. You know you can get another job, but doing that is work, so you have to decide if the BS of the current job is enough to warrant the effort of finding a new place.
I mean Amazon started it’s driving program to undercut UPS -A union shop. How is this not just scabs getting their comeuppance?
The non-union drivers in cooperation with Amazon* actively undermined another established union. Sure, yeah. I’d say until they organize or shut-down, they can share some of the blame.
There is no game-changing paradigm shift to Amazons delivery driver business model. It was always simply to undercut an established middle-man that already had unionized. It’s just deregulation & union-busting with an extra degree of separation. It’s disappointing that so many laborers don’t recognize this.
Oh no, the camera lens broke! Oh well 🤷♂️
Seriously though, as a software engineer, this is some grade A USDA choice bullshit. The solution isn’t “don’t move your mouth”. The solution is fix the fucking ML training set.
No, the solution is to throw all that machine vision micro-managing shit away. It belongs in the factory sorting goods.
Wear a mask
I’ll add this to the “normal in America, totally illegal in the rest of the western world” list
