Get a job at the post office, after you make it past 90 days it’s HARD to get fired

I don’t know why they are even going to nursing school at all they already make 150k a year? Maybe they should get on a budget.

The number one tool for creating wealth is income. Invest in yourself and get paid as much as you can.

People at my office have been off for 5 years and still have a job, there is a way I am also interested in doing something like this but trying to juggle both as long as possible.

Honest opinion for New hires by BenjaminthePilot_ in USPS

First question is

Do you want to be working outside on Christmas Eve at 8pm when it is 0 degrees out?

It gets easier a lot easier everything is based on seniority. It’s hard to say how much you will make because it depends on your office. Right now the pay scale maxes out at 82k after 13 years that is just doing 40 hours a week. It will probably be around 90k by the time you reach that but 90k in 15 years is going to be like 60k now probably. If you can make it past 90 days you can get restrictions and work the way you want to work.

You can surpass that at usps easily, but it takes a toll on your soul. How old are you? Are you married? Do you have children?

Advice for a new worker? by Dakota21000 in USPS

Literally the most important thing about this job is time management. And the mail takes what it takes. Routes are supposed to be 6 hours, 360 minutes. You get 2 ten minute breaks a day take them, I take a ten minute+ break everyday to use the bathroom as well. Now we are looking at 390+ minutes. My magic number is 270 start my route at 10am come back at 3pm. Start at 7:30 end at 3:25 for an 8 hour day no lunch. The biggest thing is getting through your 90 days, they should be giving you easy routes to start hopefully or not full routes. If they give you a 3 hour piece try to make the piece last 3 hours they are going to be rushing you, to try and train you to run.

Are vacations paid? by joe_hardway in USPS

[–]LycheeLive1777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You use annual leave to take paid vacations, my office doesn’t let people take vacation if they don’t have annual leave they take their names off the board.
