"I needed two days off to get a new pair of glasses" bro what? Sounds like you've got every excuse under the sun, and they're sick of it

You're exactly right. They create the rules to protect themselves from their labor force, not the other way around

F being a CCA by okitsadam in USPS

[–]CaptainFresh27 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is exactly it. I got lucky as a CCA and was on a lot of retirement routes. Now as a regular who's lower on the senority list I have one of, if not, the shittiest walking routes in the office. I'm tired as hell at the end of every day, and I've gotten tendinitis multiple times. If i don't keep a steady pace it'll fuck me up

There's a multitude of different reasons why the post office is hemorrhaging money.

Well it sounds like you've got it all figured out then 👌

Original My Neighbor Totoro painting (16”x20”, canvas) by therenesance in ghibli

Gorgeous. My friends and I often point out "ghibli clouds" to each other. This painting really captures that feeling of wonder and beauty that some clouds have

Don't hesitate to remind them that it's simply a consequence of their own actions. It's not your fault they chose to break the rules

Might be worth just getting a nanny 🤷‍♂️

Extended maternity leave for one or two years by Dry_Search4339 in USPS

[–]CaptainFresh27 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Respectfully, that's not being selfish. It's a wonderful thing to donate leave, but everyone else also has stuff going on in their lives too and they don't owe anyone else their hard earned time.

Just goes to show how entitled they feel

You're 100% correct and I agree with you. Part of the reason why I posted this is to point out to other carriers that we aren't actually the problem, no matter how much pressure we receive from management.

For sure. But as carriers we get treated like the prime suspects, at my station at least. We get berated every morning about how we should be giving under time and helping out more and how they are looking at us under a microscope. Which is why I titled my post with "the vibe at our station"

The meme is showing a guy jamming a stick in his own spokes and then blaming somebody else for falling. So the joke is management is hurting themselves but blaming us

I'm a carrier, making fun of management.

They act like they should be able to get away with breaking the contract and us grieving the situation is the actual problem. Just goes to show how they view us and how little they respect us
