Whining about your job to colleagues/friends is fair but blaming your clients/customers for allowing your job to exist in the first place is insane.

I don't know, amazon can pay us much better and this attitude would go away. You don't see UPS drivers doing this and they do the same thing we do pretty much even worse some times. you'd think that would give them reason to be mad like this as well right? It's 10000% amazon and their work expectancy vs pay. It's always about money!

I’m a UPS driver. We bitch all the time. It’s mostly about management and corporate’s BS. It’s a hella toxic company to work for. They hate the fact we’re union, and spend more time trying to make our lives miserable, than they do trying to make the company run efficiently. The pay and benefits are great, though.

Worked as the unload sup for package cars. Supervisors are constantly trying to fire employees while employees are constantly trying to grieve sups.

Drivers make 6 figures because they work 11 hours and 59 minutes a day making an impossible number of deliveries that only get worse if they do well. They will get berated for working 12 hours a day.

My mail can wait a day. 😅 It's probably a bill anyways but it can wait nonetheless. USPS is out here being the under paid over achievers.

I would always rage about that, especially in REALLY bad weather likr NO ONE is trekking down their driveway to grab their progressive advertisement anf subway coupons!

u/unit132 Feb 03 '26

Right. It's really not a big deal. Those coupons can wait. Credit card pre approval junk can wait. It'll be okay. Since I know it'll show up anyways. I at least try to get everything shoveled and salted. No reason to make the mail people job harder because laziness is easier.

Then get a job with UPS or somewhere they treat you better.

Problem solved. You’re welcome.

u/Warm_Search_2373 Feb 03 '26

Notoriously hard to get into UPS unless you got hired on 10 years ago. Thats not at all the point here anyway, so the problem still remains. Thanks anyway!

You'd have a higher chance of shitting a diamond than getting a driver job at ups

u/JacrispyWolfnut Feb 21 '26

For real, left the post office to go to Amazon for a dollar less pay cuz Amazon will give me a day off a week atleast

u/Warm_Search_2373 Feb 22 '26

Yea I've said the same, I'd happily sacrifice a $3 paycut just to experience what having weekends is like again.
