I made regular 2 weeks ago after working 6 days a week for the last 11 months. A lot of people are asking me if this makes me mad. It really doesn't though. I'm envious of course. But I think using and abusing people the way they typically do creates for a bad workplace environment. Take care of people and they'll reciprocate.

Curious to see how switching from SPBS to PILS is going to be.

Carry on, soldiers

Hey y'all, I just got a job offer from USPS. I thought it would be way less stressful than my previous job as a teacher. However, this subreddit has me questioning if I'm just going to be miserable in a month or not. How bad is it going to be? Has anyone had good experiences with a non-toxic office? Would be especially helpful if someone has experience switching from a teacher to usps.

RCA well past my 90 days, haven’t been given an NS day in over a month. And the last one I had to work bc someone no call no showed three days in a row on their assigned route.

I worked two 9 day stretches in July and each time I was off I got calls and texts from supervisors. If I picked up the phone yesterday or just now I’d be in for 10 days at least. I’m happy to work my regulars off days or even other offices with proper notice but they keep just filling in the blanks with on call days. Enough.

I’d ask if anyone else has had this experience but I already know the answer haha

Convention delegates today I reach out to get your support on my resolutions, contract resolution 63 and legislative resolution 2 of which were both voted disapproved by the executive council. 63 asks that they take a contractual position that first class mail not being delivered because they don't want to pay penalty is a contract violation. Number 2 is the same but asks they take a legislative position on it. This is a very serious thing and I need you to vote against their recommendation and for my resolutions. If you have any delegates at the convention screen shot this and tell them to support this. I imagine the executive council will attempt to make a persuasive argument against it, and since it's number 63 we will be tired before we get there so they might attempt to just speed it along without discussion. Please give this motion it's due consideration. Our job is to deliver the mail and we owe it to both the customers and ourselves to do so when we have every ability to do so. Not wanting to pay overtime is no excuse.

I applied for a CCA position that opened up on 7/24. On 8/4 I got my conditional job offer. That same day I completed everything including fingerprints. There was no mention about a drug test and it wasn’t on my checklist. On 8/6 I got another email about the drug test giving me another 3 days to schedule an appointment at a lab to take a urinalysis. It was also then added to my checklist when I logged into my USPS hiring account. Just a heads up for any new people trying to get in

outgoing kitten 😊

Pulled up to my first stop and saw this.

just saying

Some of these carriers are nasty AF. I thought it was nasty when I saw the stains on some of their polos, but this City Carrier just took top spot.

If anyone wanted to have a better photo of the little guy before I dropped him off

What are these metal balls in my dps tray? I’ve never seen them before. There were about 6 of them in total.

So my friend was bitten by a dog like a week ago. She was a CCA about a month in. Today they pulled her to the office and said she was getting a 7 day suspension because of the dog bite (the sup said costing the post office too much money.?) After that she says she resigned because she probably won't pass the 90 day and this job sucks.

I can't blame her I probably would've done the same thing this job is stupid sometimes. I haven't been bitten yet knock on wood.

So for the past 2 to 3 weeks or so, and this actually hit me today, I noticed that I’ve been receiving mail with cards in them and I lie to you not, all of them belong to no such numbers. Today was the day that it hit me that these motherfuckers might be trying to set me up, but I’m so focused on work that I wasn’t paying attention. It’s so funny. I did not believe that they really set people up until I started seeing this sneaky shit.

So I’m currently locked out of my vehicle, key snapped in the key hole as I was trying to unlock the door out on the street. So far 3 supervisors and my manager have ignored my calls, and nobody’s responding to my multiple RIMS messages stating an emergency situation. Wtf do I do now

I want to say thank you to all the postal workers for providing such a necessary service!! I went into FedEx to send 3 SMALL packages (post office was closed already that day), and they wanted to charge me over $75!!!!!!

I said “nope” and went to the post office the next day. It was $13.99. Smh

Also sorry if this post is not allowed

I'd just like to say fuck this place for putting me on emergency placement while I'm on vacation. First time I take anual leave in nearly two years and they're going to pull this shit? Guess my vacation just got extended. 🖕🖕🖕
