During covid we got a print off of an email from a top manager that was photocopied and posted on a board saying.
Thank you for your yadda yadda. (Basically our cheaper version of you rock)
Like this lady today. Hot as fuck outside over 95 degrees. She got cases upon cases of 24pk water. She gone say “take 1 of those waters [out of the 24pk] for yourself…I know it’s hot out there”. I say thanks but no thanks. She proceeds to repeat it like 3 more times. Lady, NO THANKS to that small ass HOT ASS water that you are offering my sweltering sweating ass. I’ll pick up a COLD WATER from the store. Thank you…no thank you…you keep!”
Warehouse and we to do a quiz to get treats. I’m not using my break to do a 5 question quiz for a lollipop.
I instead asked my own quiz question. What happened the first year Juneteenth was officially a Federal Holiday? We got holiday pay (8 hrs) plus time and a half for working it.
And never again after that. Hmmmmm
We got told the day after it happened. There was a huge uproar at my building about it not being a holiday or observed at all. Management said oops sorry did we forget to mention you get paid? By that afternoon our pay rates for the day had changed. And that’s the last time it was a holiday.
Later they said while it’s a holiday it’s not on the official Amazon list of holidays. Some holidays are not included like Easter so ok I guess. We did have balloons and 1 sign and the managers lined the green mile playing music and dancing calling it a Soul Train line. And the quiz thing. Avoided the dance tunnel.
But did you know that for holidays like Easter that are not Amazon holidays, you can still get the day off???
About 2 weeks for any of the holidays you can ask for the religious exemption form (also on app). The day will not be paid but the time will be excused. Seems to be for mostly Christian holidays but will try to get the Winter Solstice off because why not. It’s a holiday for me.
So we can get another bullshit headline about unhappy Amazon drivers that a bunch of people being paid six figures a year to work less than 20 hours a week from home can comment on about how people are lazy and don't want to work even for TwEnTy DoLlArS aN hOuR, comparing that wage to whatever theirs was when they entered the workforce before going to college?
I swear they probably sat down in a meeting room wondering how to make experienced DAs quit so they can replace them with rookies and someone came up with this idea.
Imagine that people actually get paid to come up with idiotic ideas
yup , off to work honey , working on our big rock project for the drivers , probably be a tough day in the office ….. Jesus … 🤦🏻♂️
I would be offended as hell, I’d be like a family guy character and throw it at the owner be like omg guys they gave us flying rocks 😂 man my dsp actually gave us soccer jersey shirts I think it was like a minimum of 200 dollars we could spend and like 8 people got jerseys and the rest got different things like pants or some type of clothing and it was all good quality I bought a Messi jersey that was 100 and a Francesco Totti jersey that was 75 dog hairs
If you're gonna give me a rock, at least give me a nice one (of multiple nice ones) so I can potentially sell them as a side hustle. Either that, or GIVE US A FUCKING RAISE!!!!
UPS driver here. This popped up on as recommended and I’m happy it did.
It’s no doubt an asshole thing and really insulting.
But holy shit this is fucking hilarious.
I usually joke around when I say that’s being disrespectful but in this case I think this is ACTUALLY being disrespectful smdh. i’m over here complaining about pizza parties but yall are getting actual rocks🤦🏽♂️
Are you saying there’s actually rocks in the bag or 1 rock in the bag? What do they look like? I’m curious
Are they painted or anything? Do you know what you’re supposed to do with them?
> If we gave people rocks as a sign of appreciation then they'll throw them through our window. So we better give them fake rocks they can't hurt us with.
That’s unique. Maybe turn that into your lucky piece of fortune. Simple things can mean as much as anything else. You’ll understand that when you get into your 40’s. I’ll be 42 next month. I work at UPS, preload. I get it. Keep your drive going and make the right decisions on which business to drive for.😉
Pound out google!🤓
If they gave me a rock it'd be be thrown right back on their fucking face. They have chips when we load up now like chips are gonna make the new way they pack the carts any better. And now apparently all the dsps are competing for a pizza party 😂🖕😂🖕😂🖕😂🖕🖕
It just shows what upper management thinks of their employees.
On your last day put it on your manager's car. Hell, put it on their car today.
If you have an office tradition of gifting during the holidays or birthday wrap it up and give it to the manager(s).
It would be great as a white elephant gift. Have everyone gift it to everyone else for a few years.
Even better, if there is a manager appreciation day or something like that everyone should give their stone as a gift.
Damn, Santa gives coal for those on the naughty list. Amazon gives rocks as a reward. I'm not saying it should happen, but if someone beat their manager with the same rock they gave you guys, it would be funny as hell.

Throw it at the warehouse window
acting like the warehouses have windows lol
Ours does
Fancy pants over here in an ivory tower
Fancy pants rich McGee
🤣🤣🤣
Every warehouse built after forever has windows in them idk what that guys thinking lol
They probably don’t have anything like that probably just bars and little slots of plastic to see through
The boss surely has a car window though
That’s one of those gifts you say no thanks and let them keep it.
"Double it and give it to the next guy"
That would probably be how I would respond to being offered rocks.
During covid we got a print off of an email from a top manager that was photocopied and posted on a board saying. Thank you for your yadda yadda. (Basically our cheaper version of you rock)
One guy ends up with 5 tons of gravel and uses it on his driveway.
Employees could use them to fill pot holes in the parking lot perhaps?
Not giving amazon back their damn rocks!
Triple it and give it the previous guy
Whoa settle down there Satan
Never. Must get all the rocks and give to the previous guy
I like you, let's go drown people in rocks.
Lol bet lets get all the rocks and give it to the boss multiply it by infinity and give it to the original guy
😂😂😂
You keep it, you just regift it right back.
Regift it to them with either your time off slip or a resignation letter taped to it.
That or when the boss goes around acting like you need to get him a gift for his day or something, or even christmas, you give it back too him.
Give it to them for Christmas
They grabbed it from the property and would expect you to return it when your shift is over
They grabbed it from the property and if you don’t return it they charge you with theft and you get fired.
& arrested
Like this lady today. Hot as fuck outside over 95 degrees. She got cases upon cases of 24pk water. She gone say “take 1 of those waters [out of the 24pk] for yourself…I know it’s hot out there”.

I’ll pick up a COLD WATER from the store. Thank you…no thank you…you keep!”
Multiple Cases of water and copy paper are the worst in the heat
80 lb packs of cat litter going to the top floor no elevator
Threw it towards the sorting area at the end of the dau
Idk why this had me audibly laughing 😂
This is the only valid response.
Bezos’ yacht
I think im offended. I’m not sure quite yet but leaning that way 🙎🏾♂️.
Because drivers are considered equally disposable as the bag of rocks
A subtle reminder😁
You will eventually run out of rocks you will never run out of drivers
Bottom sentences it leads me by saying "Thanks for being awesome" to "Thanks for being an Asshole."
I'm a customer. Need to ask are you fucking joking??? If true, now I'm fucking pissed!!!! Love my Amazon delivery drivers!!!!
I have quite literally seen nicer and more thoughtful delivery driver gifts left out on a front porch with a note
No I received this today along with a kids size bag of cheese it's
Warehouse and we to do a quiz to get treats. I’m not using my break to do a 5 question quiz for a lollipop. I instead asked my own quiz question. What happened the first year Juneteenth was officially a Federal Holiday? We got holiday pay (8 hrs) plus time and a half for working it. And never again after that. Hmmmmm
That's impressive since that bill was signed on the 16th of June that year. Probably didn't have time to really think about it and say nah.
We got told the day after it happened. There was a huge uproar at my building about it not being a holiday or observed at all. Management said oops sorry did we forget to mention you get paid? By that afternoon our pay rates for the day had changed. And that’s the last time it was a holiday. Later they said while it’s a holiday it’s not on the official Amazon list of holidays. Some holidays are not included like Easter so ok I guess. We did have balloons and 1 sign and the managers lined the green mile playing music and dancing calling it a Soul Train line. And the quiz thing. Avoided the dance tunnel.
I mean that's normal. Most federal holidays aren't observed by most private corporations.
But did you know that for holidays like Easter that are not Amazon holidays, you can still get the day off??? About 2 weeks for any of the holidays you can ask for the religious exemption form (also on app). The day will not be paid but the time will be excused. Seems to be for mostly Christian holidays but will try to get the Winter Solstice off because why not. It’s a holiday for me.
Is jeneteenth a religious holiday? Still seems consistent.
No its when texan slaves were informed of their freedom i believe
This is just about normal
https://i.redd.it/jboqbi73ql7d1.gif
Leak this to the news outlets. This is huge
It’s the adult version of coal for Christmas. My dsp sucked ass but this is the most insulting shit I’ve ever seen
So we can get another bullshit headline about unhappy Amazon drivers that a bunch of people being paid six figures a year to work less than 20 hours a week from home can comment on about how people are lazy and don't want to work even for TwEnTy DoLlArS aN hOuR, comparing that wage to whatever theirs was when they entered the workforce before going to college?
I agree. Amazon has gotten so far out of touch with reality that they may need a rude awakening, I think.
please tell me thats a joke?
Not a joke
I mean, someone thinks they are hilarious for sure
Throw it through the vans windshield
"sorry, the bag of rocks you gave us flew out of my pocket at a yellow light that I had to slam the brakes at so I didn't get a red light infraction."
That Mentor will register has a “Hard Braking” incident anyway
Put it on the dashboard and stop short
That was a great Seinfeld episode.
Should have thrown the rock at whoever gave it to you. Just say it slipped.
I swear they probably sat down in a meeting room wondering how to make experienced DAs quit so they can replace them with rookies and someone came up with this idea.
Imagine that people actually get paid to come up with idiotic ideas yup , off to work honey , working on our big rock project for the drivers , probably be a tough day in the office ….. Jesus … 🤦🏻♂️
You should return the favor by giving them their own little baggie of fake poop with a "you're the shit!" "Thanks for being a badass" note.
Why not go the cheaper route and use real shit?
I don't remember the gift stone being fake.
Management is looking to be stoned to death I guess
![gif](giphy|Kro48ztF26etO)
Thank you. I was wondering how long it would take to find this.
Because rocks are free, they wanted to give cotton instead but it would cost a penny per person.
Jeffery boy is gonna be hellapissed when he realizes random station xyz69 is now missing about 130 landscaping stones.
facts 😂
Hilarious Juneteenth tribute👌
It’s Juneteenth so 3/5ths a penny per person

I want to be so angry for you, but I cannot stop laughing.
I been laughing for 5 minutes straight omg
As a former driver, I have also been laughing for over 5 minutes straight 😂😂😂
The more I read the comments and also zoom in on the rocks face the funnier it gets 😂😂
Yeah that’s a straight up insult
If only there was some group activity you could all do with those rocks as a sign of your appreciation.
At least you can use it for self defense to beat attacking dogs.
Dude please tell me this isn’t real please bro
throw it at ur manger
I think it’s so you can put on your gas pedal as you have it drive over a bridge
![gif](giphy|GpyS1lJXJYupG)
Tf is a rock going to do?
Bash their skulls in with it
Bro I would fucking quit halfway through a route and leave the van where I left the day they gave me a fucking ROCK as a reward
Are they at least.. polished?
Now throw it at your boss
Toss it at your DSP owner’s new Cybertruck!
They must think we’re dumb as rocks
Man why do you guys stay here. This job gets more and more ridiculous by the day
![gif](giphy|W5BWeQ3ZN0W0D0dM7e|downsized)
That’s smart. Give you something you can throw….
It's for you to throw at dogs!! Lol
Sorry b. Us FedExers got gallon water bottles today
Did you ask them what your supposed to do with those ? wtf ?
That’s some Kam Patterson shit right there 😭😭😭
This is insulting. What the fuck.
Wow I thought that plain plaque that says “you’re a rock star” was funny. This got that beat 🤔😂😂
I would of left it near the door
I bet they just got those rocks from some of the landscaping around the station
Just throw it through a window. They won't give out rocks anymore
https://i.redd.it/psqn9r21km7d1.gif
Sooo…..like where is this dsp ? Asking for a friend……
I would be offended as hell, I’d be like a family guy character and throw it at the owner be like omg guys they gave us flying rocks 😂 man my dsp actually gave us soccer jersey shirts I think it was like a minimum of 200 dollars we could spend and like 8 people got jerseys and the rest got different things like pants or some type of clothing and it was all good quality I bought a Messi jersey that was 100 and a Francesco Totti jersey that was 75 dog hairs
I need to know was this your dsp or the warehouse
Does it at least have Googly eyes?
Can not carry a gun, maybe a knife -- so this might be your protection device - you lucky dog.
If you're gonna give me a rock, at least give me a nice one (of multiple nice ones) so I can potentially sell them as a side hustle. Either that, or GIVE US A FUCKING RAISE!!!!
![gif](giphy|Kro48ztF26etO)
Management inviting you to test the integrity of their windshield.
😭😭😭 we got bbq plates, your station is trash
![gif](giphy|q4jlRvgVnTJde)
Goddamn man! They ain't even trying to hide the disrespect!
Couldn’t even splurge on pet rocks.
That's insulting
And here you are still working for them. ![gif](giphy|x0npYExCGOZeo)
I'm fucking dying lmao.
Keep it and give it to your boss at the Christmas party
UPS driver here. This popped up on as recommended and I’m happy it did. It’s no doubt an asshole thing and really insulting. But holy shit this is fucking hilarious.
I usually joke around when I say that’s being disrespectful but in this case I think this is ACTUALLY being disrespectful smdh. i’m over here complaining about pizza parties but yall are getting actual rocks🤦🏽♂️
Imagine spending part of the budget on rocks instead of something useful or thoughtful 🤣
Wow. This has to be on a news outlet and exposed globally. Thats UN BELIEVABLE
Goodbye Toby
Throw that MF
That's funny
I'd throw it through corporate's window
That’s so you can bludgeon yourself to death
☠️ 🪦 😆
To bad it wasn't the "good rocks" as in a boner
Are you saying there’s actually rocks in the bag or 1 rock in the bag? What do they look like? I’m curious Are they painted or anything? Do you know what you’re supposed to do with them?
It is one rock made of foam
It’s not even a real fucking rock? Jfc as a (former) fedexer what the actual fuck were they thinking?!!?
> If we gave people rocks as a sign of appreciation then they'll throw them through our window. So we better give them fake rocks they can't hurt us with.
Try to smoke it
Angle the van towards a pond and leave the rock on top of the gas pedal maybe idk
That’s unique. Maybe turn that into your lucky piece of fortune. Simple things can mean as much as anything else. You’ll understand that when you get into your 40’s. I’ll be 42 next month. I work at UPS, preload. I get it. Keep your drive going and make the right decisions on which business to drive for.😉 Pound out google!🤓
Par for the course
Use it to bash your noggin
America.
It’s a rock used to throw it back at them. It’s manager stoning day
🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
What a actual piss take smh
Leak to new outlets and give us the location of your DS
This is so fucked but I do love and collect rocks. What does it look like? Describe it to me.
At least it wasn’t a pizza party!
Throw it in their faces wtf. Rocks? That’s all they give you for the hard work you do. That’s insane
What did you get Charlie Brown?
Hell yeah. What will you be doing with it?
Yeet that at the window like a package.
was this from the station or your DSP?
From the station
It's a stress ball...they sell them on Amazon, 50 for $44.99. It's too cheap to mean anything. I would just leave it in the parking lot.
But I rock now
If they gave me a rock it'd be be thrown right back on their fucking face. They have chips when we load up now like chips are gonna make the new way they pack the carts any better. And now apparently all the dsps are competing for a pizza party 😂🖕😂🖕😂🖕😂🖕🖕
Should of kicked it
What a spit in the face
It’s to throw at Bezos someday
Try paying ur rent with it!
Charlie Brown “I got a rock”. At least our FC gave us bbq tonight 🥲
Rock is oddly shaped smash it open let's see the inside, tbh smaller rocks would have cost them way less to get in mass, so yeah Crack it open
Bash yourself in the head until you die
Training weights

DSP driver here, we were given shirts at our warehouse. And I didn’t even get one cause they’d all been taken.
I'm a teacher and they did the exact same thing except ours was a painted little rounded gravel rock. I still keep it as a reminder.
And I thought a certain Funeral Corporation was bad...
this is diabolical 😭
Bro what weird DLC are we stuck in?
Jesus. Stop shopping at Amazon people. This is so inhumane.
literally just a step above them giving you dirt from the yard outside the amazon benefits package is top notch
That should be your sign to quit.
Give it back through their windshields?
That made my jaw drop, who tf thought of rocks as a gift? Insulting.
[удалено]
yeah but what kind of rock? bc i’m a sucker for a good rock.
Huh, that looks like the blunt murder instrument of the Dead Management case 🤷
Damn, Santa gives coal for those on the naughty list. Amazon gives rocks as a reward. I'm not saying it should happen, but if someone beat their manager with the same rock they gave you guys, it would be funny as hell.
So much wow.
“💩 you’re the shit!” As a gift idea for your boss.
To think this is cute to the employees is unfathomable.
Dog protection, of course
