Poor guy.

That's happened in my country too. They're told to deliver 1000s of packages a day. If they don't make it in their schedule, they're expected to keep working as long as it takes to deliver them all, and it's not considered overtime even if it takes 20 hours.

So workers straight out throw them in the trash, mark them as delivered, and when the client complaints the companies lie and say it was delivered. In my work we're trying to punish the companies but theyre slippery as fuck.

Either way they'll know it was you. Do you really want to be charged with theft after losing your job?

Just saying, if you're that unscrupulous, might as well go all the way.
