The photo that UPS provided to prove that they delivered my package. I mean, sure, it’s my front porch, but they could have included the package.

Ups driver here. UPS management and their infinite wisdom have decided to give us boards that are incapable of clearing the cache of information unless you completely restart the board. This results in the boards slowing down and eventually crashing, and until the inevitable crash, it slows down to the point where I can take a photo of the delivery, and it won’t register the photo until I’m turning back towards the truck.
I’ve taken photos of the sky, lawns, gardens, flowers, and streets, and often it immediately will register the Stop Complete.
I’m not saying you didn’t get the package stolen, just an explanation of what might have happened here.
yeah it looks like that’s the shadow of the package on the bottom right corner so it probably took the photo as the driver turned away.
You should use caution when speaking about your employer online
Edit: This isn’t suppost to be an attack, I just don’t want anyone to lose there job. Apologies if I upset some people.
…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.
I hope you don’t judge a company by a single person. You should interview a bunch of employees if anything.
The exception to this is if the treatment is really bad.
How DARE you EVER complain about work, wage slave.
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.
Big corporations don’t need you to help them exploit their workers.
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
Yeah I probably should’ve phrased it a bit better
Haha I think it was pretty funny
You shouldn’t lick the bottom of boots, ain’t healthy.
You can actually become liable if you draw to much attention
What country are you from, constantly living in fear of what you say?
American GenX/Boomer. I’ve heard sentiments exactly like that several times growing up.
Land of the free bby 🇱🇷🦜
Personally, I don’t talk about my employer online either, because I grew up paranoid about different things.
Lmao why?
Why? Lemmy is pseudonomous and they’re not using their real name so I doubt the employer would know who they are.
Plus it’s not like they’ll care much because it’s a known issue.They even tell us to restart the boards halfway through our day
There’s a whole slew of other shit I could talk about but i’m not gonna do that here and I don’t have the time.
Fair enough, I didn’t intend to start a controversy. Take care
No, your employer doesn’t want people to learn what they’re really like, which is exactly why you should make it public.

If it were a smaller company sure but for one as massive as UPS I think it’s perfectly fine lol
Yeah your probably right. I just though I’d say this as a reminder. Apparently people are taking this very personally
If anything, that proves that they didn’t deliver it lol
Plot twist: OP ordered a front porch
You got me!
This is where I would deliver your package
IF I HAD ONESounds like an easy claim that they didn’t deliver the package.
Yup. It is an official proof that the package wasn’t delivered.
So that’s where they put my invisible bench!
Based on the number of photos people post on Nextdoor of their package at a totally different house, I’m not sure why these companies bother. Maybe they could train drivers to actually use their brains to see if they’re at the right place first.
They’d need to allow drivers to take enough time to appropriately do the job, so that’s never going to happen.
When you have to make as many deliveries in an hour to require breaking the sound barrier during your shift, you don’t have time to check house numbers.
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.
I used to work for fedex. Most of the time those run over boxes were just crushed by the machine that handles them and sorts them, not always though… I worked with some daft people. Lots of my coworkers hated how prevalent door cams became but I loved them. Made it reeeall easy to call people out on their bullshit.
When there was a dispute things wound usually go like this ‘I delivered the package right at their front door, there’s a hallway cam, ask them to contact the manager and get footage of me not stopping by when I claimed I did.’ I never got into trouble in the years I did it because I always did my job right.
Guy doubled as a porch thief? But it’s hilarious must been new at the job. Didn’t even know UPS did that thought only Amazon did?
They all do it now (except USPS?)
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.
