said he quit Monday, walking off the job and abandoning his delivery truck at a gas station in a Detroit neighborhood.," Derick Lancaster told the Detroit Free Press, part of the USA TODAY Network."I thought it was going to get more like 50 'likes' and 20 retweets — and call it a day."
"This does not reflect the high standards we have for delivery partners," Amazon said in an email to the Free Press."We are taking this matter seriously, and have investigated the matter and are taking appropriate action." He also got back on Twitter and posted a live video about why his job and mental health wasn't worth $15.50 an hour.
And as pandemic fears — and package volumes — increased, delivery companies have struggled to keep pace.
I support derick Lancaster. Strong stand and amazon needs to better with their profit margin.
This is amazing, ppl are being laid off these days due to the Covid-19 and this guy quit b/c he can't manage a driver job. Unbelievable!
What a cry baby! My grandma stronger than him
Love how you're complain about a job you willing asked to work for! No one force you to take the job!
Now that your name made headlines... good luck finding a company that will hire you in the future. You will not be trusted. I wouldn’t hire you.
Wow. This dude's trash.
Everybody likes quiters
This is amazing, ppl are getting laid off these days and this guy quit b/c he can't manage a driver job. Unbelievable
Who were those lazy karens who were threatening to sue him over delayed packages? That's amazons responsibility, and, he's not your employee, you damn smooth brain trogs
Aww poor thing, he had to work everyday to make a living and earn his money
Poor guy! He had to work 9-10 hours a day then had to do it again the next day! That’s horrible!
So under paid for his skill of reading, driving, following directions, and walking. You do realize that the skill you learned last to perform your job was driving and you learned that at 15 to 16.
It is always a choice. I hope you find something that you feel meets your needs.
I'll never understand why people don't hire minorities.
👏👏👏👏
Nice job glorifying this. If he wanted to quit, that's his right. But he didn't have to leave like that. I'm sure next employer will understand. It's like people can't see a few months in front of them
lol, sounds like a disgruntled employee but media seeking another opportunistic sensationalistic headline
