How often Fedex steals your parcels?

Fedex always shows itself as a guarantee of quality. However, I came across an outrageous and story with my parcel – it seems to be stolen. But in this story, it’s not even the theft itself that is outrageous, but the fact that you can’t contact the company in any way- website, email, no way. Save yourself and lose money? What should I do? https://preview.redd.it/pr07lci6gg2a1.png?width=1280&format=png&auto=webp&s=dafcd4ffd49522f57a0c16066a97443d25e566fb https://preview.redd.it/i7v229i6gg2a1.png?width=3003&format=png&auto=webp&s=779b49174f07af4a2e0acdcd364e1cdbdd4dbf41 the story: I ordered jewelry and tracked how it's going. 2 days before the date indicated on the website (scheduled delivery on November 19) on Wednesday 16.11.2022 Fedex courier called me once , and asked if I was at home so that he could deliver my parcel to me.  I told him that I'm not at home right now (again, he called me 2 days before the delivery date specified by Fedex on Fedex website). I told him that I would be home in…

Contract changing? Need advice

Ok so I need advice on a situation. And to start, I don’t think it would be easy to find a new job because I had some fraud happen earlier this year on my CC and my credit score is shot. Which in the financial industry makes it tough to find a job. But I could always pursue building a business I would just need to crowdfund a bit(credit score again). So the situation: I started this job in May, dream job as director of operations Which was a miracle because I was a CX associate previously, both at startups so you know different hats and all. I more than doubled my salary and my schedule was always set for a 4 day work week which is in the contract I signed since I’m the weekend person. I do only work 34 hrs though too. So because of this, I…

how many of you take legal drugs to do your job?

with legal drugs I basically mean caffeine and nicotine. I don't drink coffee and don't smoke. I always thought people do it as a leisure activity: people drink coffee because they enjoy how it tastes and smoke because they like to get high. A choice. But if people have to get caffeinated continuously and smoke regularly in a shift because they need to get 5 minutes high while working… I'm not sure it's a choice anymore, but a sign that you have to change your line of work: you are giving yourself COPD, emphysema and cancer and it ain't cheap either. I also ask if you have observed more smokers in physically blue collar jobs than in office workers. Feedback welcomed.

Why are introverts hated in the corporate scene?

My college keeps telling me stuff like, “You need to talk more confidently, make buddies, be more outgoing if you wanna be an [insert_some_engineering_job]”. Of course I see why it might be like this in a way but I don't think everyone's the same and some people (including me) don't like talking too much and are straight to the point. I've been told that introverts/asocial people have really low chances of getting recruited. Why is this?

*asks someone to cover a shift with less than an hours notice* I make one little mistake and I’M the unreliable one. I should mention that these people don’t “guarantee” hours, have no schedules, and make it a habit to give me 12 hour graveyard shifts with very little notice.

was my termination justified?

i was a server at a really popular restaurant in my area and was recently fired for something i personally don't find a big deal. there's no way to say this without sounding obnoxious but i thought i was a pretty good server, i loved interacting and talking to my tables while still being efficient, my coworkers took notice and have told me this as well. i've built rapport with customers to the point they became regulars and would even request for me to serve them and even my bosses have said i'm a “superstar server” and bring in the highest tips. so what doesn't make sense to me is that i was fired when i did my job well? the reason i was fired was because i was apparently not a team player, which i don't find true and i'll explain why. there were two coworkers that i couldn't…
