Amazon delivery drivers complain about bad work conditions

At FedEx we got paid per package delivered, which means the faster you deliver your packages, the more you are technically getting paid per hour. In addition to this, you&#x27;d get a daily bonus for delivering the packages fast. We could take our lunches whenever, nobody cared as long as the packages got delivered. However, very few people ever stopped to eat their lunch. Most people would eat and drive. If there was a bathroom on your route, that&#x27;s cool, but otherwise you are peeing in a bottle because you aren&#x27;t trying to waste time searching for a bathroom when you could potentially deliver 4 or 5 packages in that time. All of this holds especially true at this time of the year, when guys are getting ran 6 days a week, with 200+ packages per day, and with the sun going down an hour earlier (night time delivering slows you way the fuck down).</i><p><i>Well what happens when you deliver so slow that you&#x27;re making less than minimum wage? I don&#x27;t know about Amazon, but at FedEx if you were so slow that you made less than minimum wage with your per package deliveries, you were simply paid minimum wage for that day&#x27;s work.</i><p><i>Anyways, there are a lot of shitty jobs to have during the Christmas season but, in my opinion, this is the worst one of them all. The pay isn&#x27;t bad if you have your route down; but goddamn you can&#x27;t even enjoy the damn holidays because you&#x27;re always on &quot;go&quot; mode.</i><p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.reddit.com&#x2F;r&#x2F;worldnews&#x2F;comments&#x2F;7iv6s9&#x2F;amazon_drivers_are_asked_to_deliver_up_to_200&#x2F;dr1on4x&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.reddit.com&#x2F;r&#x2F;worldnews&#x2F;comments&#x2F;7iv6s9&#x2F;amazon_dr...</a>
