Mildly Infuriating

...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.

Lmao why?

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

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

How DARE you EVER complain about work, wage slave.

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.

*their

Maybe he means in a context with your real name visible?

If it were a smaller company sure but for one as massive as UPS I think it's perfectly fine lol

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

The speed of Google Maps corrections seems to strongly depend on some internal reputation data they have from your previous submissions and the kind of submissions you make. The more you contribute accurate stuff, the faster your future contributions go through the system.

Unfortunately, I've never found a way to submit corrections to Apple Maps from a Linux system, so there continue to be a dozen or more places where I know Apple Maps is wrong but I can't help them out with fixing it.

Accurate. I get pissy about my deliveries (FedEx is notoriously bad here) but the truth of the matter is that the drivers are way overworked. They time shit down to the minute but assume traffic is constantly as good as the best days. So yeah, they build in time for bathroom breaks and to get everything where it goes as long as no one on the road has wrecked, is driving slow, and there are no construction zones gumming up the works. Then they penalize the drivers if everything isn't done. So you end up with shit thrown over the fence, boxes that look like they were run over, misdelivered packages, and pictures of the corner of a porch.

It's really hit and miss though, at least where I am. Amazon does it probably 75% of the time. UPS and FedEx are both maybe like 30% of the time. I don't know if the shipper has to flag the package to have a picture taken or the drivers just don't give a fuck most of the time.

USPS don't take photos, but at least in my experience they have the best delivery drivers. My local mailman knows people's names and there's been several times where letters or packages had the wrong address (correct street name but a typo in the number) and I still got them. He circles the address and writes "address corrected by your mailman" on the label.

The worst delivery company, by far, is OnTrac. They say it's overnight but in reality the package would come any time between tomorrow and 2 weeks from now. I'm glad that Amazon don't use them any more - in my area, Amazon used OnTrac until they switched to handling deliveries themselves.
