Recall guys this Amazon delivery work is bottom of the barrel function.

I am seeing a lot of stress over route reductions on here. Most dsps can’t even guarantee 40 hours a week 🤡 if they are talking up the 4 10s schedule it’s a lie at most dsps. Amazon doesn’t hand over a rats ass for any of us or our personal bills. All people is replaceable. I had perfect metrics and they were sI learnedl cutting my hours. “But I drive a step van?!” No one gives a shit 😅

Sounds like someone never had to work in food service or retail. Or any minimum wage job, to be honest.

I’m making $26 an hour in a state where the minimum wage is $15.16 an hour so no this isn’t bottom of the barrel. On top of that I get a full body workout at the same time. Also stop blaming DSPs for not being able to give you 40 hours guaranteed every week, it’s Amazon that c...

No where near bottom barrel. I used to toss bags and boxes for the same hours at 14 an hour. No van. No heat. No A/C. And a 30 min break with a bi-weekly pay cycle.

yeah, okay, I’m working 5 days/week and still not cracking 40 hours. It sucks. But “bottom of the barrel” is a little harsh. It’s by far the easiest and most low stress thing I’ve been paid $20/hour to do.

Hop DSPs then, my DSP guarantees 10 hours every time you work. No matter how many hours under you work, they still give you 10 if you finish your route early. I’m getting 40 hrs a week no matter how quick I finish my routes

It’s the DSPs that make it bottom of the barrel work. Can’t guarantee hours, will hire someone with half a brain to replace you in an instant, and they couldn’t care less about how long you’ve been doing this or your work ethic.
