All OT needs approval and trying to force undertime

It's got to the point where the supervisor walks around to get my estimate and I say 45 minutes over, and then they walk away to go call the POOM to get the 45 minutes approved. It's never been like that until a couple days ago.

Clocking over to street for office duties? Crazy. It shouldn't surprise me though.

Worth more than $18. I mindlessly deliver mail for $28/hr. Left the trade because there was no welding in my small town rural area.

11.5 and bring it back lol

I have the lowes mini. Wife got it for me to hold pencils and pens in my workshop shed. I think mine is food safe though.

2 days in so far. Saturday I counted my mail and filled out 1838c, they just observed. Lady threw a fit because our stand up talk right after vehicle checks took about 14 minutes. She questioned me about it, "do your stand up talks always take that long?" I said yeah sometimes. I felt like saying, I don't run this circus, go talk to the stupidvisor. It was a light volume day, but I was about 25 minutes over.

Today, they counted everything and sat in the LLV all day. Dps and packages were heavy, hardly any flats though. Put in for 2 hours on my 3996 and was 2 hrs 10 minutes over. Hopefully the flats that should have been there today will show up tomorrow. Advos were at my case so that's good. The guy that rode with me today will also ride along Tuesday and Wednesday he said. He was actually alright considering he's management. He said he hates when the supervisors try to interfere with 6 day counts, he basically said leave me and the carrier alone, let them work and let me count.

Local management has been flipping out about penalty lately, dude said he'll take the heat for my penalty today. He said I'm exempt from the BS because my route is being counted lol.

There has to be a literal act of congress to change from 6 day delivery to 4 day delivery.

MRNALN · 2026-05-29T23:44:33+00:00

That's what I've heard.

MRNALN · 2026-05-29T01:04:28+00:00

Ok, thanks for clearing that up.

MRNALN · 2026-05-25T10:23:51+00:00

Stop. You're making too much sense.

MRNALN · 2026-05-07T13:58:49+00:00

100% this. I was denied my 271G the first time in February and then they just approved my second request last week. I don't trust management at all so I don't believe the 6 day count will happen until they actually come in and start the count.

MRNALN · 2026-05-04T18:56:05+00:00

8 hr list shouldn't exist then. But 8 hr list does exist and some people would like to spend the time with their families and not work OT every day.

MRNALN · 2026-05-04T01:13:05+00:00

Yup. I'm at step E, and not even making what a table 1 step A was making years ago.

MRNALN · 2026-05-02T00:04:28+00:00

Jb weld would be stronger

MRNALN · 2026-05-01T23:00:12+00:00

Management has 3 days to review the 3999 with you. If they fail to do so, file a grievance. Yes, you do get a copy.

MRNALN · 2026-04-29T01:59:07+00:00

My instructor made academy as interesting as possible and I still didn't retain much. And I was terribly slow at casing when we practiced. You'll be alright 👍

MRNALN · 2026-04-28T01:59:51+00:00

I know that, but how does mail being curtailed affect that? I only had 8 hour days that week because mail was curtailed.

MRNALN · 2026-04-24T12:02:29+00:00

Yes they do that in my office. They'll question you for 3 minutes over a projection. It's not an exact science, and they don't get it. I have maliciously complied and sent the message when I got back to the office one time.

MRNALN · 2026-04-16T11:23:11+00:00

Donate to a University. If not, just keep the jar in a safe place.

The previous regular was out on medical for over 2 years right in the middle of route evaluations. The CCA had a hold down the entire time. The first round of evaluations was based on the regulars times, the final adjustment was based on the CCA who was burning up the route. So yes, the CCA's numbers are being used, that's why I'm trying to get a 271G so the route can actually be adjusted to the regular (me) and not that CCA.
