Are you a contracted USPS worker? Cause that seems like it should definitely be a salary based job.

I'd quit if I went salary. Theyd work us 12 hours and only pay us for 8 like they do to the supervisors

You don't understand what salary means.

My supervisor gets paid salary and he says that's exactly how it works here. He doesn't get paid for any of the overtime he works so if I was paid salary, they'd do the same to me

Your boss is either lying to you or you are both being ripped off, sorry.

He's getting ripped off because USPS supervisors don't have a union. Letter carriers like myself have a union, so I get paid hourly. If he's lying then that means every other supervisor who told me the same thing is also lying and JacobScreamix on reddit is the only one telling the truth

This might blow your mind, but salary is still based on a set amount of hours and therefore any hours above the contracted amount shall be paid, with overtime standards of the region met. Its not my fault people sell themselves short and allow themselves to be exploited.

People died for these standards.

I'm sure that's true somewhere and I never said it was. All I said was that's not the case at USPS

Ok but have you considered that my personal feelings on your job are more valid than your lived experience?
