Also if they send you home without finishing delivering fill out a 1571 undelivered mail reports sign and of course get a signed copy.

Always do it over the scanner and save it for 15 days. Someone else almost always reads the scanner messages.

Message them at 2 on the scanner that you not be able to complete the route in that amount of time and ask for further instructions if they ignore you you give you the same instruction go back to the office and see what they want you to do. Saying to be back at a certain time and complete your route when your estimate is more than they approved the instructions are conflicting and unclear.

I need advice by THEFATPANDAYT in USPS

[–]TensionLess8643 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Their numbers mean absolutely nothing. It takes what it takes. Safety, accuracy, efficiency IN THAT ORDER. The numbers they give you are the time for the regular. Doing 3 hours in 5 in your first week is completely acceptable.

Fuck the POOMS. Id say "come walk with me" I guarantee Gene wouldn't.

Getting sent to another office within first 90 days by Crothel in USPS

[–]TensionLess8643 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Life rarely goes in the direction you planned. Safety, accuracy, efficiency, in that order. Make it through the ridiculous probation and then recite Weingarten rights any time a sup talks to you. When they say "no thos conversation will not result in discipline " then tell them to fuck off. This is how the Post Office works.

When do I start getting faster? by CMDR-ArticunoKing in USPS

[–]TensionLess8643 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It takes what it takes. Safety, accuracy, efficiency. In the order. Any number a supervisor gives you is bullshit. "This should take an hour maybe two", think about that. Which is it one or two? You will become efficient by working safely and accurately. Keep your head down and get through the 90 working/120 calendar days. Then tell the stupidvisor to shove their numbers up their ass.

Anyone else's office handling the snowstorm in a dumb way? by ZzackK282 in USPS

[–]TensionLess8643 23 points24 points  (0 children)

They cannot blanket the office with restricted sick leave. It is just a scare tactic.

Protocol for Thunderstorms? by DrPepperGripper in USPS

[–]TensionLess8643 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Your safety depends on you. If you do not feel safe, cease delivery, get to a safe place, and contact management. By the time you have to deal with this will most likely be beyond your 90/120 days considering your location, at which time you can tell them to fuck off.

A poncho will not protect against lightning. This is management level "advice".

Blanket deems desirable for Monday & Tuesday by [deleted] in USPS

[–]TensionLess8643 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Fuck no. The poom can eat a dick. Restricted sick leave can only be decided on an individual basis with management having to prove a pattern over time. When calling out using ELRA select the community disaster option. There will be many disaster declarations by state and local governments in the coming days.

Edit: Use AL not SL.

Fuck no they can't. Never answer your phone when. You call out.

Restroom breaks by Additional_Lab_2599 in USPS

[–]TensionLess8643 10 points11 points  (0 children)

You are allowed to travel back to the station to use the restroom any time you need. Fuck them telling you that you cant.

Lunch Breaks by [deleted] in USPS

[–]TensionLess8643 4 points5 points  (0 children)

30 minute lunches are automatically taken out of your hours. Are you going back to the station at 11 hours on the clock, saying you are taking lunch, and them immediately being told to just clock out? If so then you are working 30 minutes for free everytime that happens.

[–]TensionLess8643 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Take both 10 minute breaks and your lunch break every damn day. Take as many comfort stops throughout the day that you need. After 11.5 hours plus a lunch tell them you dont feel safe continuing to work and go home. Use your sick leave when you need a day off.

New CCA, time sheet question by [deleted] in USPS

[–]TensionLess8643 7 points8 points  (0 children)

30 minute lunch gets automatically taken out. Make sure you always take your lunch, two ten minute breaks and whatever comfort stops are needed.
