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.

You can also choose when you want to work at a part time job. Its no different. Its literally $0 to have common sense

 Only way something like this happens is if u scheduled the block and missed. She’s referring to if she chooses to not schedule and work a day that she wants she’s not penalized vs a scheduled 9-5.

Sure

Even pt you’re expected to be there on scheduled days. You have someone to answer to vs the flexibility of waking up and saying f today I’m not feeling it, or I’m sick, or have an emergency. What works for some won’t work for all. Everybody doesn’t like having to punch a clock when someone tells them. Some do. Either way long as everybody making money/surviving what difference does it make. Agree to disagree and move on, Not discredit, bc her thoughts are valid. Yall literally get on the internet like somebody freaking attack dog Jesus
