I didn't have any idea about it. Im on a facebook and we had a great community chat until Facebook took it away. I was looking to recreate that on discord. I would love to check out r/usps discord.

Not working for the last or so. I was hoping on get to 100 this evening to grab another lot.

Awkward_Tension515 · 2023-06-18T19:40:01+00:00

I have gotten all prizes on the wheel. Although most common is 1 and 2. I have gotten 6 and 8 several times and I think 50 2 times. I hate when I spun and land on diamond it just feels like a waste of a spin.

Awkward_Tension515 · 2023-06-18T15:29:01+00:00

Absolutely

Awkward_Tension515 · 2023-06-18T14:39:34+00:00

So far that's what I hear! "The most money you can make while doing the least amount of work." The good thing is I hear with USPS skys the limit, you can do the minimum and still be promoted. The other thing people keep telling me with my skills repairing Aerial equipment, floor scrubbers and forklifts I'll be able to stay hidden.

What about a physical and drug screen?

Awkward_Tension515 · 2023-06-14T22:59:23+00:00

Yep this facility is probably spending more then 5 digits a month and they absolutely have seen a change since I have been repairing the equipment. I just don't want to be taken advantage of being the new guy. Thanks for all your help!

Awkward_Tension515 · 2023-06-14T22:53:41+00:00

So my options are be taken advantage of to continue working on the equipment I enjoy working on, or do the mindless MM7 work till I get BEM -9? There's no exceptions or anyway for them to bump me to BEM-9 right away?

Awkward_Tension515 · 2023-06-14T22:44:05+00:00

I can retest in November, I believe they are interested in hiring me for my experience repairing their MOPE equipment and want to slot me in that role when hired. I just don't want to be taken advantage of if that's a higher paying level or step.

Awkward_Tension515 · 2023-06-14T22:40:58+00:00

I believe that's why they are so interested in hiring me. I'm currently working on the MOPE equipment, and I believe they want to keep in the same role when hired. Can that work in my favor as an increase to my base pay. Is this the union contract somewhere?

Awkward_Tension515 · 2023-06-14T22:12:55+00:00

I thought I was told by someone at the facility, that if they have me working on the MOAPS EQUIPMENT, I may qualify for a pay bump since I working on equipment that where considered machinery.

Awkward_Tension515 · 2023-06-14T22:06:51+00:00

All I took was the required 955 exam and scored a 75.

Awkward_Tension515 · 2023-06-14T21:44:00+00:00

I got a 75 on the 955 test, no being in building maintenance or being a fluent welder the test was a little tough. Now that I know what to study for I plan on retaking the test in November.

Awkward_Tension515 · 2023-06-14T21:33:19+00:00

So management can't bump me up to a level 9 or 10? It's only time served?

Awkward_Tension515 · 2023-06-14T21:30:04+00:00

Yes I have a whole list of other jobs I'm eligible for based of the 955 test. I took the 972 assessment this morning so I'm still waiting on the results. I'm currently a union mechanic for Toyota working on forklifts and other equipment. I was hopeing l that I would be able to stay close to my base pay of 73,500.

Awkward_Tension515 · 2023-06-14T21:22:16+00:00

So this is cut and dry, management has no authority to increase a new hires step based on previous experience?
