Nothing inspires homicidal rage quite like two inches of fresh snow and A 100 KG DELIVERY BIKE GETTING STUCK IN IT

EDIT: context for this post -- my shift had ended over an hour ago and I had just gotten up to where the Really Shitty(tm) part of my current route starts, and it was still snowing, and there were no plows in sight so there I was, pushing my still mostly full bike through a parking lot that hadn't been cleared yet.

You know how fresh snow gets after a few people have walked through it? Have you ever tried driving in it?

Fucking Christ.

Honestly just. Whatever. I couldn't give a fuck. At some point I somehow managed to mess up my J-letters, and I could care less. Did I misdeliver that card? Did I drop it? Did it just fucking vanish??? Who cares! I don't! If they wanted me to produce quality they should pay me more than 10€ an hour.

The only thing that kept me going was honestly just the thought that if I wanted, I could just... quit. Go home. RIP to my past self (what an idiot) who wanted to be thorough and wanted to do a good job, I'm different. By the time my overtime kicked in at 10hrs (by my calculations, at least -- I don't have guaranteed overtime unless I do 30hrs that week first) I wasn't even halfway done through the route and couldn't remember shit about what was coming next, despite having done the sorts myself.

I was home around 1830 and while I was standing in the kitchen making food, I just kept thinking "You know, Idiots like us are the reason they can afford to pay you like shit. Why didn't we just go home, man? What was even the point of that?"

Fucking serves me right for wanting to do my fucking job right, fuck.

:( That sucks so bad. You deserve better--your job is obviously integral to the functioning of society and you put so much effort in.

I wish we COULD just guillotine the entire board of directors. Although actually I can't understand why this last strike didn't provoke government intervention against them and their current policy. (I know I could probably learn exactly why they didn't by learning a lot more about the current political environment. But it would probably be even more depressing.) It's much more understandable how my package notifications at the old flat came to be lost or delayed... though personally I have to think delayed is better than lost... but is that even an option for you, I mean, to just let a backlog accumulate and not do endless unpaid overtime? Do you get penalized then if you don't finish the route?
