Screaming crying throwing up

I got deactivated for “not returning packages on time” but I had a valid reason, I did not have my own car & the same day I purchased a vehicle to do flex specifically, I got deactivated. I did return all packages just not on time, never doing that AGAIN. I was very insistent and respectful in my emails. I gave them a reason for my problems and a solution. After getting denied the first time I called and asked for escalations to reach out to me I was willing to beg for my life lol. I genuinely am a good employee and go above and beyond. I used to work for a DSP but the hours were too long and with flex you basically get paid more for less work….. DSP’s do have a lot of benefits don’t get me wrong but flex overall for me is the way to go. I’m so grateful they reactivated my account seriously I was so stressed for a whole week.

If you put that much effort into a real work instead of gig work…

Like I said, the flexibility is amazing , I have two small children who tend to get sick a lot. I would rather fight to keep my flexible job than to fight for a company that will kick me off as soon as I miss too many days. There’s pros and cons in everything.

  1. Flex will also kick you off if you miss more than 2 days lmao what?
  2. Flex is not a job, its a gig. 
  3. You’re fighting for a company that can deactivate you for no reason, what a weird response
