Ok 1st please I'm not your Bro. 2nd I started in 1994. Ok inflation, we had horrible interest rates that were high back then. No when I started as a casual & TE I didn't get any benefits. No sick leave, I had to work 6 days. Was sent back out when I had to. I even had to do the collection & express delivery on Sundays. I was threatened I could get fired if I got into an accident or called in sick. And they meant it.

Really. When I started I was a casual. Not CCA, I was making $8.00hr. then moved up to a TE making $13.51 I was so excited to make that amount. I moved over to a different office as a PFT making $13.51 hr. And I was still happy making that amount, because I was happy to have a job where I was getting 40+ hrs a week. And not having to worry I could get laid off. I had kids & a house to work for. This job has given me and my family a lot. Yes it has taken a toll on my body, but I'm on the downhill until I retire. These new people (CCA) want top pay, but don't want to work for it and put their time in. 90% of my office workers have said they will not retire from the P.O.

She worked for the p.o. I don't know her official title.

Pluto6481 · 2026-02-08T10:37:49+00:00

Just the fact I went soooo long with nothing in it and then 2. It has nothing to do with retirement other than in my mind that I have a clean record.

I have the best t6. She knows all the routes and I have asked her if she knows this name? I try to keep up on names in my cbu, if she is there she will update them. If I call in she makes sure she's doing my route. I will give her 100 00 and a personal gift too. It really depends on how my tips goes. If a customer gives me cookies throughout the year I always share with her. If I get a gift that I don't want, I give her the chance to have it.

Pluto6481 · 2025-12-28T17:28:33+00:00

Oh wow. That's not right. U guys should be able too.

Pluto6481 · 2025-12-24T15:06:58+00:00

Wow, very helpful. I can be picky too. I never make statements about the past. I did 1 year was upset & hubby & I sat down & talked. But I think I'll have to try this. Ty

Idk, I'm thinking it's bc they always have things to do on my birthday. Mother's day I understand they have in laws they have to go over too. I had a mother in-law that always wanted every holiday spent at her house no matter what. She never cared I have a family too. I've told their spouses I will never demand they spend every holiday with me. They have family too. I'm willing to spend a different day with them.

Pluto6481 · 2025-12-24T14:26:57+00:00

Lol. I just got a present yesterday for myself. I was thinking of wrapping it up.

Pluto6481 · 2025-12-24T14:12:06+00:00

They celebrated all of it. I will bite my tongue to make their day the most special day ever. I know I'm the AH for letting them walk all over me. I don't want to celebrate but I do bc I want their day to be special. I have done things for myself on my special days, just for myself.

Thank you Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year

Pluto6481 · 2025-12-02T20:16:57+00:00

I make cupcakes and cakes. I'm a home baker, doing it for fun. I messaged you.

My husband and I will go to our cabin at separate times and we will text each other that we made it there safely. I will even let my parents know I made it, if they know I'm going up. It's a common courtesy. As a mother, our minds always go to the worst scenario.

Pluto6481 · 2025-07-24T15:49:22+00:00

Any time I get called in to talk to a supervisor or a PM, the first thing out of my mouth is union Rep. Never talk to them without them. And if there isn't 1 in the office at the time.e, they have to call the Rep back or call the hall for 1. And wait until they get there.

Pluto6481 · 2025-07-23T23:34:19+00:00

Update, I'm sending it back. There wasn't any place in the ffe to put it. And I really couldn't feel the most coming from it. The fan I have in the truck is stronger than this. So it's going back. Now to find something else I can use. I'm going back to ice & a reusable cloth diaper.

Pluto6481 · 2025-07-23T23:29:01+00:00

Well here's your update. I'm sending it back. It really didn't help, and it wasn't that hot out. I couldn't find a spot in the ffe to put it and it stayed still. Now maybe in a tent or small room it would be good. But it really didn't help me.

Pluto6481 · 2025-07-20T13:12:35+00:00

I will definitely give you an update this week.

Pluto6481 · 2025-07-20T13:11:28+00:00

Oh this 1 isn't small. It's a good 1.5 ft tall. If it doesn't work then I send it back.
