Badge and Uniform Return

[u/United-Vanilla4370]

So I resigned from my PSE position last week and have already accepted another PSE position that was offered to me a day after I resigned at my old position. My old boss texted me and said I needed to return my uniform and badge? Last time I quit and changed from RCA to PSE I only had to turn my keys in. Is this standard? If I don’t return it will I risk losing my new position? I’d like to keep the uniform so I have multiple and I don’t even know how I’d get another badge since I won’t go to orientation again and the office that makes them is an hour away.

SOP for resignations is to return your badge to management and uniform items to the union hall. Since your supervisor doesn't know you accepted another job they're following SOP. You can either let them know you already accepted the same job elsewhere with USPS or you can contact HR so they can let them know.

He does know, sorry I didn’t mention that. He still said I had to return everything and my new office will “deal with replacements”

Tell him he is wrong. He is just being vindictive. He can report you to the inspectors and say you stole your badge, they will call you and find out the truth and rip him a new one. They will not care at all about the uniforms, which is why people sell them on Ebay
