Said to contact Consumer Affairs, which i sent email to with order #, but they never got back to me.
Called national help, which gave me a case number and said they would contact me in 24hrs, but never did.
Plus i ordered forever stamps, 2-3 day priority mail it says, but took 2 weeks (well, they did say they were forever stamps).
And i am just outside the capital of my state.
Plus other mails items have been arriving around 2 weeks late.
Forgot to add the Amazon replaced the order to got it there within 3 days. Thank God and good for them.
I think the big reason why people don’t care is because for many they are locked into their jobs. They cannot advance, so why try.
It used to be that you could take the lowest job in the company and, through hard work, have the opportunity to advance. That’s largely not the case any more.
IMO, It's because you didn't build that
— meaning that the authorities (government, big business bosses, community leaders, etc) do not value the productions, the work, of those under them.
To illustrate: when I was in the National Guard and deployed to assist with New Orleans after Katrina I was assigned KP and other such duties (hey, somebody's got to do it) — anyway as I was mopping the dining-area floor there were some officers sitting at a table talking, I asked that when they leave they use the other door to avoid walking on the portion of the floor already mopped if they had to leave while the floor was still wet... well, of course it is unreasonable to ask them to take a detour of, what, 80 feet... because they walked all over the floor right after I asked.
So, in short it is that the authority demands respect yet gives none in return.
Seems like most of the examples given are either government employees who can’t be fired, or minimum wage employees who don’t care if they are fired.
I have complained to the his superiors at the post office to no avail. I've been counting the days until he retires.
All this comes from an original source, how do we view the essential nature of man? The conservative, as an inheritor of the Judeo-Christian tradition views man as a fallen creature, a sinful creature, one who is in need of education, yes, but more importantly a creature in need of redemption. The leftist sees man as a tabula rasa, an empty field upon which society, led by elite leftists, can with proper stimulation (think of rats in a Skinner box) condition the individual into conformity with the values of the mass.
So John Dewey starts in kindergarten and eliminates merit from a list of virtues taught to children, indeed, the whole concept of good and evil, merit and the lack of it, and especially competition are systematically eradicated from the child's world. Although it comes from a leftist, the old joke about all children being above average is too revealing to be funny.
The whole thrust of the liberal criminal justice system is to eliminate the idea of guilt and culpability and substitute rehabilitation. In the process, guilt is generalized, the individual is exculpated in society is blamed.
The process of generalizing from the individual to the mass is applied by leftists across the board and we see it in spades in the workplace. It is in the interests of employers to find and fix fault and correct them to increase efficiency and profit but it is in the interest of the politician to insinuate himself into that process and distort it so that he dominates the process. So we see a plethora of rules, regulations, union influence etc. all of which tend to see the employee not as an individual but as a unit of a greater mass. The whole idea of collective bargaining is to destroy individual responsibility as it destroys the relationship between master and servant. The politician wants the employee beholden to him so he devises a system which recognizes the employee as part of the mass beholden to the politician rather than the employer. In the process individual responsibility is lost.
Dennis Prager was absolutely right when he said that your view of politics depends on your view of the nature of man.
Some companies penalize initiative due to some misguided belief that it costs them money.
Example: the site I work at has a stack of air filters for the ductwork that will never be used as management honestly believes that taking a filter off the stack and using it as advised somehow costs money.
Yes, they believe that utilizing an already purchased filter costs money.
So when a member of maintenance changed an air filter, he got screamed at for somehow costing them money.
By replacing a filter with one already bought and paid for on hand.
So there sits an entire stack, useless.
Until they get listed as excess and thrown in the trash.
“For example, in the YouTube video that I have posted below, you can watch a postal worker drive her truck on to someone’s lawn. She is so lazy that she doesn’t even have the energy to take a few steps and place the package at the customer’s door...”
Not to defend her actions, but I imagine that this isnt the only house she had to deliver packages to. More like hundreds on a daily basis. Those few steps from her vehicle to the front door and back to her vehicle may be few for any house, but all those hundreds of houses put together adds up to thousands of steps and alot of energy.
Well ... it is depressing on the whole ... but I look at my daughters who work their butts off ... they were taught good values. My youngest works 80 hours a week and is well compensated for her effort and respected by her company and co-workers. My middle daughter runs her consulting company from home while raising her three small children and managing to have a fine marriage. My eldest travels the world singing opera and manages a great marriage and a business when not singing. They all graduated from great colleges ... summa cum laude ... on scholarship ... while working. Effort ... effort ... effort. I am now fairly housebound and need look no further than my front porch to see honor, work ethic and effort ... I have the greatest UPS driver on the planet ... he has delivered over 250 Amazon packages in the last six months ... nothing damaged .. never late. It’s not over yet ... there are still great stories out there!
IMO much wide brush painting. There have been lazy workers and stupid criminals since work and crime began. The difference now is every instance that gets discovered is broadcast around the world. I can recall many instances of workers not making it through noon on their first day before they were sent down the road. Also, remember a local kid robbing the local grocery store with a bag over his head that holes in so big you could see who he was. This was all in the late 70’s early 80’s, today there’s a good chance a video of this kid’s folly would be on the net and possibly two or three TV shows.
Internet users tracked the photo to a restaurant in Mayfield Heights, Ohio, leading Burger King to fire three employees who were involved. The company said the restaurant in question "is independently owned and operated by a Burger King franchisee," the Los Angeles Times reported.
A statement from the company said Burger King has "stringent food handling procedures," as reported previously by ABC News. "Food safety is a top priority at all Burger King restaurants and the company maintains a zero-tolerance policy against any violations such as the one in question."
(and there are even worse photos out there)
“Last month the USPS “lost” a $100 Amazon order of auto parts (FedEx del. to local PO). When i called up past its arrival date, they placed me on hold for over an hour without answering, when i did get thru they said it went to a city nearby, but never got here. Got thru a few days later and they tracked it came to my city, not the one nearby, but do not know why it never got delivered. “
We know by recent experience. Try talking to CS for USPS and they actually placed us on hold for an hour. ONE HOUR. I cant believe we have the same experience. We had to file insurance using a form and based also on my friends Amazon (he’s a seller), it takes 4 months to get a claim decision back...at least.
I’ll tell you what though: Priority Mail is waaay damn cheaper than UPS and Fedex on 3 pounds or less packages. Without those, I don;t know of any Ebay or Amazon seller who would survive nowadays.
Right now the ignorant, entitled, disrespectful students with their ignorant, entitled, disrespectful moms and grandmas have just about broken this teacher. Throw in Common Core and Ohio’s new teacher evaluation system and I’m ready to give up on education all together.
This thread will interest you, I am certain! :-)
Some incredibly bitter comments at the link.
Too bad they're actually supposed to be noticing customers. Maybe someone should tell 'em. I just quietly wait and complete my business and decide not to come back.
