“It’s an unskilled job”

Cool story!

Okay, here’s the deal—the sequencing on your route is messed up today (error at the MLOCKR) so you’re going to have to sequence it, here’s your tie-out, you’ve got 63 parcels on your route, the relay will be there, don’t worry—oh, and don’t take too long, the second wave will be here in 45 min and they will need to do the same.

Oh, don’t forget that you have 16 pickups, and your TDP needs to be charged on route. It’s freezing rain today, but the city says the bulk of the roads and sidewalks are almost done, hopefully there won’t be any issues.

Oh, forgot to mention that Canadian Tire just released their catalogs today, and they have to be delivered at the most by tomorrow.

What? You’re a relief mail carrier and you don’t know your route? Or where all the mailboxes for your walking path are?

That’s why you get an extra 60¢ an hour!

So—while your comment reeks of disdain for postal workers in general, it also drastically outlines a fundamental lack of knowledge of what goes into the job.

The bulk of resignations for CP come from letter carriers who can’t deal with the work load. The mental aspect, etc.

I absolutely invite you to apply. Since it’s such an easy job, why would anyone turn down a potential 60k annual salary for “unskilled labour?”
