From the other perspective it’s not a great deal either. Gutting those decent jobs of the current posties and essentially turning them all into part time (poorer paid with less benefits) jobs isn’t great either.
We don’t need to have Canada Post turn into the Amazon-equivalent “make them piss in bottles so they meet their quotas” to make this work. And if we do need to go that far, then it’s the recipients that need to adjust their expectations of deliveries. It’s not up to Canada Post to turn into a shit place to work to meet unrealistic delivery expectations.
I refuse to order from Amazon due to how shit their delivery companies treat their employees. Sure the package gets to me a few days later ordering from others, but if it means the delivery folk are actually valued and compensated accordingly, then I’m fine with that. I am not OK treating delivery drivers like shit just so I get my Chinese junk a day or two faster.
