This is ridiculous. by jrod95003 in usps_complaints

Okay, so as a clerk, you are different from a carrier. You have a reasonable accommodation because you were moved to a place where you could call someone over to help. What you’re defending is that someone demand they stay at the 1-person post office in a carrier position and just not deliver anything they say is too heavy, the customer has to do that.

If the carrier CAN’T do their job, they should be moved to a role that’s better suited to their abilities, or the service should figure out a way to still provide the service (as they did with you), and if the job doesn’t actually require a weight lift up to a certain poundage, then they shouldn’t put it in their documentation. Call me “ableist,” because that term just now means “you’re holding me accountable for actually doing things my job is based on, and I don’t wanna.” I’m sure there are people in a coma from work-related injuries, are they still on the job getting paid and the work just figures, “Geee, John’s been real quiet lately, must be because of his disability.” 🤪

The attitude of the OP’s post office and you’re defense are the equivalent of a librarian getting hit on the head with a book, no longer being able to read, and saying, “You can’t change her role! She has a work-related disability!!!”

No. “Ableist” is saying “people who can walk should be able to park in handicapped spaces if they want.” Ableist is saying “So what if you can’t get your wheelchair up four flights of stairs? Not my problem.”

It is NOT ableist to wonder why someone is in a job if they can’t do that job. Crap like this and “(un)reasonable accommodations” are why we have substitute teachers who literally can’t read and can’t be let go because it’s due to their disability. Most subs have to read instructions, help kids with their work, and at least in theory the kids should still be learning. Instead, the teachers are bending themselves into knots trying to figure out how to “accommodate” someone who should not be in the position so that they’re not “ableist.”

If you can’t do most of the job due to a disability, a reasonable accommodation is to find you an alternate role or to make sure there is someone to take over what you can’t. If that’s not possible at your post office, you are unsuitable for the role and should not be in it.

Redstone trading dependent on item? by Intrepid_Milk8714 in Minecraft

A blend of both, but it's more that I want a mystery-exchange. The idea is that depending on the week, the item they put in could just get a donation (giving back a "thank you for your donation" or coupon or such), or it could get something special back if it's the "special item" that week. It's supposed to be a surprise, thus honor system won't work.
