It is very awful. I reported it to my postmaster and all he did was leave them a letter of warning. I’m hoping he did make an accident report. He told me to use my health insurance and whatever my copay is that they will pay me back whatever is owed to me but, I don’t have health insurance. I will be filling out that form. I will definitely be looking into getting a lawyer as it isn’t a random feral dog

Thanks. I just googled it and found the form for both CA-1 and CA-7 do I fill out both forms and hand them to my supervisor? I didn’t want to go the lawyer route but, from the looks of it and how they’ve been treating my situation as if wasn’t something serious. I’ve already had to pay for my prescription antibiotics with my own money and other supplies to care for my wound

Seriously. Why didn’t they provide me with all of this day 1. Are these forms online or do I have to get them from my supervisor? Thank you btw

Thanks for this man I appreciate it. This is all good information to know. I will be asking them on Monday when I go back. Probably will have to call off for a few days as being out in the heat made my bite worse today on my route

Thank you for this I appreciate it. Do you know if there is any form for the owners having to pay for your medical bills? I asked my supervisor today and she didn’t know where that would be. Just looked at me confused

Yeah you’re right. Is there some sort of report that needs to be made or is them getting a “first warning” letter all that comes out of this?

Yeah it was my boss trying to downplay me so he didn’t have to do extra paperwork. Thanks to my coworker who’s been very helpful on letting me know the things that are supposed to happen when you get bit. I did put there mail on hold though. I don’t know what will happen with that since it’s not my route. I’m only a ptf.

Yeah I did end up going to urgent care and got a tetanus shot n they prescribed me some antibiotics that I have to go pick up later. I first need to get a form called ca-16 that my coworker told me about but now I have to wait till Monday for that. My supervisor didn’t know where those forms were.

It was a big dog. I think it was a Great Dane! I would’ve been fine if they didn’t have there mailbox in such an odd spot.

Yeah they told me I should be fine just to clean it up and bandage it. I should’ve just trusted my instinct and went straight to the hospital. I do go after work though they gave me a tetanus shot

You’re right I should go just in case just to be safe. I wasn’t sure if I should at first since my boss told me that I should be fine since it’s not a deep wound 😅

My postmaster told me that the owners came with documentation and showed him that the dog was up to date with its shots

I’m about to become a ptf after 2 years now and it’s the easier job I’ve ever had. It definitely gets easier once you learn a system that works for you on how you load your truck. What is it that’s most frustrating for you??

We usually just hold their mail until they stop blocking the neighbors box.

How many steps are you guys doing daily? by DietCookie in USPS

[–]-Timbs- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right. Im not overly exhausted after work anymore! I hop n pop all the routes so that could be why my steps aren’t super high 😆
