A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.

I live on a property with multiple families and we just use one delivery box by the main driveway.

Since this past week was in the 90s, I started leaving out a cooler with ice and bottled water/a few colors of gatorade and a couple snacks in a small basket next to it.

So far, no driver has taken anything, even with a "PLEASE TAKE ONE!" sign on top.

It's too hot to work outside without all the water you can drink, electrolyte flavor packs, and bare minimum a giant-ass fan. And no, having no doors doesn't count as having a fan.

My ex-wife, not much of a caring person, always left a frozen bottle in the mailbox. We had the perfect USPS driver back then. New dude (LOL, been on this route several years) is fine, and I like him, but I think he's a bit autistic. Can't seem to make eye contact so I don't get up in his grill, just wave from my porch. :)
