i get it’s a legitimate safety thing to some degree and to certain people but have you considered that i cannot leave my place right now which is why i paid 40 dollars you ess dee for taco bell. which was a legitimate safety thing for myself as well, frankly.
and i totally get it: apartments fucking suck ass. i did this job for years. every single apartment design is absolute dogshit minus maybe 2 or 3 i’ve seen in my life between 3 cities. buildings will not be laid out, address wise, sequentially at all so finding anywhere is a fucking nightmare, the roads will be dogshit as well, potholes and speedbumps and i’m just trying to do my job and certain dumb complexes will randomly have some address noumbers on like, the back side of the building facing away from the fucking road for some reason??? why??? insane. just a total fucking hell. yes. i understand. but when i did the job i gritted my teeth and figured it out myself. calling the person is an absolute last resort. it’s a nightmare but frankly also when i gave up and called the person, waiting around and/or trying to get directions from them was just as annoying. bullshit job. we need high speed tubes connecting everywhere in the city.
I’m not going to debate what is and is not “doing your job,” just asking you to empathize with someone who probably makes shit money and works like a dog to feed entitled brats.
I do empathize with them. I make shit money. I work like a dog to feed entitled brats (well I don’t consider my kids entitled but lol…). But if I stopped doing the literal most basic functions of my employment then I’ll be making no money, and not working like a dog to feed entitled brats, because I’d be fucking fired from that job.
If your job is to deliver anything from point A to point B, you need to take it from point A, to point B. Taking it from point A to point C is called “fucking up your job”.
Have a good day.
Imagine if you could just do less than the bare minimum at your job and still get paid the same.
You’d be doing it too.
I was a delivery driver. He’s 100% in the right. Delivery services have gotten so shit over the last few years where the drivers won’t even do the bare minimum of coming to the door
But it’s the bosses demanding tight schedules not the delivery people. I don’t feel bad for the bosses trying to squeeze every amount of productivity out of the system at the cost of the quality of service.
