You shouldn’t speak about your employer online
Comment on Yeah UPS, that's proof

Ups driver here. UPS management and their infinite wisdom have decided to give us boards that are incapable of clearing the cache of information unless you completely restart the board. This results in the boards slowing down and eventually crashing, and until the inevitable crash, it slows down to the point where I can take a photo of the delivery, and it won’t register the photo until I’m turning back towards the truck.
I’ve taken photos of the sky, lawns, gardens, flowers, and streets, and often it immediately will register the Stop Complete.
I’m not saying you didn’t get the package stolen, just an explanation of what might have happened here.

…this is how people outside the industry learn what’s going on, possible explanations for it. 🤨 Otherwise everybody’s just perpetually in the dark.
Also, he didn’t say anything bad about UPS, just a bad part of bad software.

I hope you don’t judge a company by a single person. You should interview a bunch of employees if anything.
The exception to this is if the treatment is really bad.

Lmao why?
dan@upvote.au 2 years ago
Why? Lemmy is pseudonomous and they’re not using their real name so I doubt the employer would know who they are.
TransplantedSconie@lemm.ee 2 years ago
Plus it’s not like they’ll care much because it’s a known issue.They even tell us to restart the boards halfway through our day
There’s a whole slew of other shit I could talk about but i’m not gonna do that here and I don’t have the time.

Fair enough, I didn’t intend to start a controversy. Take care

You shouldn’t lick the bottom of boots, ain’t healthy.

You can actually become liable if you draw to much attention

What country are you from, constantly living in fear of what you say?

How DARE you EVER complain about work, wage slave.
Randomgal@lemmy.ca 2 years ago
Big corporations don’t need you to help them exploit their workers.
bdonvr@thelemmy.club 2 years ago
You absolutely, 100000% should. Just be careful, keep it semi-anonymous. I say this as someone who has been fired for talking about their employer online lmao.
possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 2 years ago
You just got to be careful about what you disclose.
zephr_c@lemm.ee 2 years ago
No, your employer doesn’t want people to learn what they’re really like, which is exactly why you should make it public.

As long as you can do so safely, yeah.
possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 2 years ago
Fair point

Sure because they’re giving away trade secrets. Did anyone actually think that UPS were bastion of efficiency because I don’t think that was ever a public opinion.
Get your priorities straight
possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 2 years ago
Fair point, I just know that it is easy to say to much.
Goun@lemmy.ml 2 years ago
Lol I read this like an attack and was like wtf chill dude.
Maybe you’re a bit paranoid, but yeah, I’d be careful with naming my employer if I worked for a smaller company, for example? idk
possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 2 years ago
Yeah I probably should’ve phrased it a bit better
Goun@lemmy.ml 2 years ago
Haha I think it was pretty funny
ipkpjersi@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 years ago
If it were a smaller company sure but for one as massive as UPS I think it’s perfectly safe lol
possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 2 years ago
Yeah your probably right. I just though I’d say this as a reminder. Apparently people are taking this very personally

Maybe he means in a context with your real name visible?
dept@lemmy.sdf.org 2 years ago
yeah it looks like that’s the shadow of the package on the bottom left corner so it probably took the photo as the driver turned away.
