The photo that UPS provided to prove that they delivered my package. I mean, sure, it’s my front porch, but they could have included the package.

    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.

      yeah it looks like that’s the shadow of the package on the bottom right corner so it probably took the photo as the driver turned away.

        …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.

        Why? Lemmy is pseudonomous and they’re not using their real name so I doubt the employer would know who they are.

          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.

              American GenX/Boomer. I’ve heard sentiments exactly like that several times growing up.

              Land of the free bby 🇱🇷🦜

              Personally, I don’t talk about my employer online either, because I grew up paranoid about different things.

        Big corporations don’t need you to help them exploit their workers.

        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.

        No, your employer doesn’t want people to learn what they’re really like, which is exactly why you should make it public.

        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

          Yeah your probably right. I just though I’d say this as a reminder. Apparently people are taking this very personally

        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
