UPS driver here.
You could see the writing on the wall years ago. A vast majority of driver supervisors now have little to zero area knowledge (how the routes are looped, where to go for pickups ect) they do everything through the board. My old supervisor, 10 years ago, even said they were going to be the first cuts. "You see that board?" he said," It literally will do my job later on in your career. " That's going to be your supervisor." Oh man, how right he was. Too bad they blew over 10 billion on the stupid algorithm ORION. That money should have been spent on the fleet of trucks improving gas mileage or going electric. Nope. Get a shitty ass algorithm that decides to send you directly into school traffic right when it gets out, sends you across town on a whim, and tells you it's OK to do a 5 pm pickup at 10am lmao.
I don't know about all instances but implementation of ORION was stupidly successful. I don't know what kind of back alley you work in but it did save the company a ton of money overall.
Sure did! Look at all the jobs they just shed lmao.
Yeah except since ORION was implemented in 2016 they have added about 100k jobs.
Surely that can’t be a result of, say, the massive increase in online retail in general. No, no. It’s the computer program that added the jobs.
Just got word they are removing the UPS drop box on front of our building.
