Getting paid a SWE comp to do a minimum wage delivery job and you’re complaining. Ok.

  Arguably less then minimum wage

  When the difference is "get paid well to do the job and career you trained and worked for" vs. "get paid well to do an annoying, stressful frontline job unrelated to your skillset" then yeah, of course you'd complain. One is much better/worse for you than the other. The job sucks, and for most of the people working it, the pay sucks too. To that end, I think a major part of why the job sucks is that the pay sucks - so much hard work for so little reward adds up mentally, and makes every interaction and delivery worse - so they're kinda missing the point with the "build empathy" part if they aren't making only delivery pay while they do this.

    Walk in your customers shoes. You'll be surprised what you learn. And yes, fellow employees are your customer.

    From my perspective, driving around is pleasant enough, as an activity, but the loss of time to do anything else after committing to so many hours, just to make rent... it seems like giving up on life.

  It's not about the money at that point it's about those jobs being shit to do. I can go get my SWE comp elsewhere and not have to do bullshit like that.
