I get that having quotas to meet is stressful. I'm not arguing against that. I don't understand what type of quotas they would have. Unless you know, I would assume it's deliver the packages you have in your truck by the end of the day. It's all designed by a system that I assume is closely intertwined. For instance, I'm sure it wouldn't load a truck up with 1000 stops if it had no data that would indicate that it's possible.
And if every healthy driver (old,young, strong or weak) before you could move and complete 200 stops in a day but you can only do half of that. Does that mean the expectation is unrealistic or is it something else?
It means that drivers are highly motivated to get their deliveries done in a day. Wait another minute for a safer chance to make a turn? Driver can't risk it, all those turns add up by the end of the day. So the driver tasks the riskier first traffic opportunity they get. And makes hundred of other safety choices daily based on meeting their quota.
Sure, previous driver Bob made 200 stops in a day, what does that have to do with safety? Especially considering Bob was forced to pee into a bottle to make his numbers:
If Amazon is controlling for things down to talking, they damn well better control for the fact that human beings produce waste and need to use restrooms.
And if every healthy driver (old,young, strong or weak) before you could move and complete 200 stops in a day but you can only do half of that. Does that mean the expectation is unrealistic or is it something else?
