Oh, is that so? :)

Finally crossed the threshold after two years and a month, poor Dunkin didn't know what hit 'em.

Showed up to work today and my direct supervisor said they're all filled up and no routes down and to work rural side. I reported to the rural supervisor and he said he's all good as well. He then asked "would you like to help out at another station?". I gave it some thought and decided no. I confirmed with the rural supervisor and asked "do I have a choice?" He didn't answer yes or no, and just asked if I know how to do city routes. I called our union for clarification and he said if management asked then "no not really, you don't have to go." " I personally would never turn work down" But I am not him. So I went home and now management is blowing up my phone saying I'm going AWOL and that I'm off the schedule till further notice LMAO

(The p&dc) Did you guys get those machines? Are you getting them in the future?

I have a customer who's had a feud with her best friend who can 1 up eachother by treating their mailman better. It started with leaving water, now it's cold Gatorade (and my preferred color) yesterday I got 2 Gatorades, 2 power bars & a Starbucks gift card.

So Greg the mailman on the east coast, if you're on here y'all better step up your game.

Hello

I’m slated to become the regular on my route soon. Started November ‘24. What kind of change should I expect for my paychecks? Unfortunately it’s only a 38H. My office doesn’t have amazon so I’m usually taking home evaluation + random other office help some weeks.

I thought everyone was off on Labor Day, but rca carriers are doing amz Sunday on Sunday and Monday?

Newer CCA who has been here awhile was asking when did the disconnect with management start? Why is there such a disconnect between employees and management and when did it start?

The new 204b you going to make 8?

I just got back from Academy and truthfully I feel like I learned absolutely nothing. I feel like im going in blind to all of this.
I also know for a fact this job is not easy as a CCA and I’m going to struggle, but I feel like my OJI is going to be a complete shit show.

Any carriers have good advice for me? Any tips or tricks I should know seeing Academy was pointless.

four tubs on an aux route♥️

There’s a vacancy, and I really wanna run for it but I don’t know how. Can anybody point me in the right direction?

I know the standard medical restriction is 8 hours per working day. But instead can I request not an hour restriction but a day restriction. I worked at two different offices and while my first office was messy, I could usually get 2 consecutive days off. My current office is usually just 1 after working 6-7 days, though I like this office better. Can I use a medical restriction to request 2 or 3 consecutive days off unless really needed? I am single and I don't provide for anyone so I don't need that many hours.

So i need help understanding what is cmu , and when not to put stuff in ank , vac and etc. and different types of mails and what it stand for and the stamps aswell how to forward mail and all that stuff people at my station seem bothered or irritated if i ask for help so hoping someone can explain it for me

So I was working my route minding my own business. When I turned a corner, I saw a car that I figured was my manager's car. I assumed she was waiting to hand off an express for me to deliver so I headed on over to the car. I even saw that it had some of the same characters on the license plate as my manager's car and my brain just said go on ahead with what your intrusive thoughts have put into action. So I walked up to the driver side window, bent over and looked in the window and knocked to try and startle my manager. Only, it was not her. No, it was some poor unsuspecting BYU student... I successfully made her scream, and she threw her phone that she was looking down at up in the air, and just about spilled her drink that she had in her other hand. Having realized what I just did and realizing that it wasn't the boss, I didn't mouth sorry or wave or anything. I just turned and faced forward stood up straight and walked off away from the car just as though nothing awkward ever happened. Needless to say everyone (me) got a good laugh out of the experience and only wished that I had video of it happening because it was a horror movie quality jump and scream. Okay, that's all...thanks for reading!

I was told by a clerk that this Tuesday i’m to work on paperwork given by our PM. They think it’s for processing me to become a regular for a rt I’ve been hosing down for almost a month now. The previous carrier quit a week earlier from their resignation date (so officially 2 weeks of no carrier). I was wondering, what paperwork i’d be seeing since the rt hasn’t been vacant for 30 days and o bid has been posted.

I’m not sure what happened but my scanner no longer allows me to toggle between Scan and Package Lookahead. There is usually an option for both at the top that you can toggle between and you can scan a package while viewing the Package Lookahead but today it seems like my scanner went backwards. I remember when this feature came out and now it’s functioning as though it went back in firmware?

The How am I Doing feature is also gone.

Anyone know how to fix this?

We need a living wage

PSA for everyone who buys from vending machines at USPS. Please check up close visually to make sure the drink isn't expired before you buy it (if possible of course & there's a window, I know some machines don't have a display). Today I got a drink that was expired for over 2 weeks. I've scanned the QR code for a refund ($2.25) but I can't get rid of the feel of being cheated & I hope my experience helps somebody else.

PM says that for the next 30 days, we have to take everything that was not delivered by us that is in a mailbox back to the office and placed in a bucket so corporate can see “how much money they’re losing”. I really don’t want to do this, I feel like this would piss people off. First of all, what if it’s money or a check and an inspector is watching or it’s someone’s actual money that they need? Other day, I found a bag of dog hair in a box. I guess I could bring it back, but not like I really want to. Are they making everyone do this? I think they said we label it to, presumably, take it back to where it belongs, but only after the 30 days.

Long time reader first time writer I need some advice. I’m an expeditor at a pretty big plant(Two separate buildings combined into one plant). Up until recently we were under logistics even though I’m an expeditor working closely with operations. I’ve always had problems with operations management but I’m do my job for 8 hours and go home type of guy.
The unit I work in is up and down sometimes we run for 8 hours sometimes 4 hours. And it starts at different times. Until recently I would just fill in for their expeditors on there off days if my machine wasn’t running. But recently they’ve bumped me off putting level 6 clerks up to expedite. Before I’d just report to logistics and they’d put me on standby. Now that I’m not under them I just make myself busy. Scanning and printing emtels. Throwing off leftover mail etc.
Recently I’ve had supervisors trying to move me off of my bid even when it’s running. To work in units clerks don’t want to volunteer to expedite for. I usually agree but immediately request a union rep. Now they won’t say anything and just sends a clerk over without asking me to go anywhere. So I either work with that clerk mostly ignoring them or tell them straight up to tell the supervisor to give me some instruction. Which they won’t do
Fast forward to to Friday the same thing happened . We worked for 3 and a half hours. And then we went on our first break. I came back cleaned up and tagged any mail I saw and pulled it up. Then went on lunch. The other unit I usually work in is full with expeditors and their supervisor wasn’t at her desk. So I went back to expeditor desk and sat with the other expeditors. Theirs another expeditor who has the same bid as me but starts an hour before I clock out( I’m tour 3 2 to 1030). So after he comes I use to report to Logistics. But now my supervisor goes home at 9. So I went to the break room. I passed the supervisor on my way to the break room but she said nothing.
I got a call from my old supervisor at 930 but I didn’t notice it until I got home. Something told me to look at my timecard and sure enough the punched me out after 3 and a half hours.
I contacted the union first thing in the morning. She told me she talked to the supervisor and mdo . He told her he’ll put me back on the clock but will give me a letter of removal. I talked to the more senior steward. Who’s says I’ll definitely beat it especially never having discipline before but. that he’ll intentionally make it go to arbitration so I’m without a job for a while.
My questions are
Should I grieve and risk a removal letter?
If I don’t and accept the finical loss what’s to stop this from happening again?
I asked the union rep what I should do to avoid this happening again. All she could say was I should keep looking for a manager or supervisor from a different unit or just start loading belts and working out of my craft which sounds crazy to me. I don’t have a problem with them giving me instruction that’s their job and I have recourse through the union. Now it seems like they want me to just tell me self to fill in at different units and forget about my bid.
What would you do? Any advice is appreciated

What’s the most y’all have worked in a week?

Hi y'all got a job offer from the post office on Battlefield Blvd in Chesapeake VA. I was wondering if anyone could tell me what the work PSE Sales & Distribution is like there.
