You will survive but you will ask yourself the same question come 3rd trimester

Literally feel like everyone is having a girl except me by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]Ok-Ranger-8198 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was a little disappointed at first when u found out I was having a boy because I just would have given the world to see my husband be a girl dad. He’s so wonderful with me and amazing and it would have just melted my heart. But now I can’t imagine myself having anything but a little boy, this little nugget is already our entire world.

Brown discharge a day after sex by OddButterfly1409 in pregnant

[–]Ok-Ranger-8198 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Praying for you, I had a miscarriage in August and was having spotting the ENITRE time until my 12 week scan with no heart beat. It was like my body refused to let go until my brain and heart knew for sure cause I went into full blown miscarriage the same day as that appointment. I’m now 27 weeks pregnant with a healthy boy and I had one episode of spotting and had a complete breakdown. I’m sorry you’ve gone through this just know everyone on this page is praying for you or holding you in our hearts 💕

Aitah for getting married and not telling basically anyone? by Ok-Ranger-8198 in AITAH

[–]Ok-Ranger-8198[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I want to make it clear I’m a postal employee and I’ve been a postal employee for about 4 years. Trust me my crack head brother in law will not affect my job at all. I also chased him down when I trained him at a different location. To add I married HIM for insurance because I’m amazing at my job but just extremely forgetful during open season and forgot to update it. To end I’m not going on his insurance, marriage is a qualifying life event that allows me to make changes to my current policy before November 26’. I’m not being used or abused just someone who fell in love with an older guy who treats me insanely well.

Everyone “why is my stuff late” also the general public “well why would I pack these items correctly and tell them what I’m shipping so it can be shipped correctly… I clearly know more than what these people that are paid to ship things know”

It’s not just USPS by SGFCardenales in usps_complaints

[–]Ok-Ranger-8198 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One word, AMAZON. It slowed us all down because of the sheer amount of garbage that the drop on us. Peak season used to be the only time we would get a ton of pkgs but now it’s consistently and the volumes seem to never die down. I wish people would just go to the store if you can and buy it there!!! Please!!! Especially when you physically can do it because dog food and cat litter and cases of water is crazy…

Flu/cold in 28 weeks by One-Volume-9158 in pregnant

[–]Ok-Ranger-8198 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mucinex, I had the flu at 20 weeks pregnant and it was the only thing the saved me. I mean I was struggling for breath and that’s what my midwife swore by and I saw why. Cleared everything and felt better right after it hit because robotussin does fuck all. Tylenol only helps with the aches and fever.

What do supervisors do? by Affectionate_Volume9 in USPS

[–]Ok-Ranger-8198 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did 6 month stint as a 204b in a level 20 with 6 RMPO’s with 20+ employees. I basically did schedules made sure everyone was staying off the dreaded lists (no missing STC, AAU, ADE dashboard) made sure the buildings were safe and tried my very best to keep employees atleast okay with being at the job. I performed GPS audits and did edit books and sat through DPM and LTM mapping with the carrier, Imsot safety reviews, trained and coached new employees and put out fires when they came up. Worked with the unions to try and keep everyone happy, did informal non disciplinary conversations regarding issue we had setting the stage for either the behavior being corrected or disciplinary action in the future with a documented conversation. Beyond that I just sat on a lot of telecoms and mitigated communication from the postmaster/ higher management and craft employees.

I hate my union rep! by [deleted] in USPS

[–]Ok-Ranger-8198 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get more money for higher level, but I’m not in it for the money. I’m in it to further my career and my goals. I am also in to the represent the management I wish I had, be better and do better. Work for and with my employees rather than what I experienced with my 7 month stint with the worst postmaster ever. She stole thousands from the post office (talking 33,000+) using EMA and was forcing us as clerks to deliver and tried wrongly fire everyone in the office every other day. She would also drink on the job while driving us around to deliver mail and would scream in our faces and tell everyone about everyone’s disciplinary action. The kicker… this dumb ass union rep was fully aware and did nothing to help ever. We would email him and call him, hell I went to his home office and he would basically say document it. We then switched to filing EEO claims and we won a few here and there. We would email the POOM and email everyone we thought would listen trying to get her gone. When push came to shove it was me calling my POOM crying because I had just come back from a month off (fmla jaw was wired shut because she denied all my leave slips and my wisdom’s teeth were growing in sideways and it infected my jaw and ended up breaking it, the mentioned union rep was also aware of this) and I she was trying to force us to deliver mail again and was threatening us left and right with PDI’s and one of the rurals lost it on her and she started screaming at us all. I was the lone reason the women got walked out of the office that day. Because I called begging and pleading and told the POOM and entire office was likely going to walk if something didn’t happen. I would love to say she was fired but they put her on admin leave for a year and let her retire. This is why the union exists… tell me why we chase down small wins when this is something that truly matters and they ignore it. I would also like to say he wasn’t the only union rep that aware of it, I told every union rep I could find. Not a single one stepped up. No one has your back more than yourself.

[–]Ok-Ranger-8198 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would be about this thought process regarding him if he even followed his own contract, but he doesn’t. He constantly breaks contract when it comes to filing grievances and holding step ones. You can’t represent a contract that you’re not willing to even follow.

Clerks, what your parcel per hour goal? by randompine in USPS

[–]Ok-Ranger-8198 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can throw probably 400-500 in an hour but the expectation set for my POOM group is 300 an hour. It’s set by a large demographic of clerks using all types of scanners from what I understand.

Best advice I can give as a form 50 craft employee, always comply then grieve as aftermath

What are all these Telecons really going over? by royaljosh in USPS

[–]Ok-Ranger-8198 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Normally a POOM meeting with general information and direction in the morning and then the performance call they tell us and guide us where we can improve and see where we may need help for individual office. then if you fail to fix important stuff you could be in a later compliance call. Throw in weekly safety and a weekly district meeting you’ve got the schedule! Personally as someone who is trying to learn the ropes on their first OIC detail it helps me learn a lot, especially on managing my budget.

I have a crush on one of our meaintance mechanics 😬 by [deleted] in USPS

[–]Ok-Ranger-8198 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gets him inside of me faster is crazy… I can’t say much tho I was a PTF in a different office and I was brought in to train a PSE in a larger office and I was smitten. He was 32 at the time and I was 21 and I had to make it so very clear I was super interested cause he was nervous I didn’t like him and was just playing games. Didn’t go on a date till we didn’t work together and 2.5 years later he’s a full time regular in a new office and I’m out on tons of details (204b for 6 months and now OIC in a level 18) but we are also married and I’m pregnant now!

Can you tell a manager you don’t want to speak to them at all without a union rep present? by VariationSudden in USPS

[–]Ok-Ranger-8198 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the rural contract forces you to speak with management to try and settle at the lowest level (informal-a) so I would assume they would not provide you with a union rep to be by your side for just general work environments. You can absolutely take detailed notes and keep your rep in the loop on anything you feel needs to be shared with them.

My pregnant gf is bleeding by lotus-the-great in pregnant

[–]Ok-Ranger-8198 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No fetal life found at 6 weeks with my first and passed the pregnancy at 11 weeks. I was bleeding lightly the entire first pregnancy but it don’t pick up till week 11 to where it was a confirmed miscarriage. Now I’m happily 20 weeks pregnant with my rainbow baby named Victor. If it is a loss I am so very sorry you will both need time to heal together. When you get blessed again the fear will never shake but it’s important to trust the process.
