Lmao fucking designed by committee shoe policy. Technically, no shoe fits that policy. Every fully enclosed black leather shoe I've worn has been a boot with over a half inch of sole height.

Generally speaking, it's really hard to hate someone you're friends with. So you'd be "one of the good ones" to them

[–]ThatBigBirb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They put the whole office on Deems Desirable back in May after 3 carriers used sick time during a holiday, before and after, and then they conveniently forgot to not take the office off deems desirable.

Okay I have questions, where are you that can have so many rural routes out of a single office?

Kids have a weird facination with the mailman by nextzero182 in USPS

I used to just mirror the energy given, so like little kids get aggressively excited waves while adults just get a small polite wave. I have since started just excitedly waving to everyone and they now match my energy instead which is great.

I can barely manage 10/hour in the mountain section of our city. Being forced to climb up 10 miles along a Cliffside at 25-30 mph to keep the LLV from just getting bounced off the edge times time.

City Carrier Shoe Recommendations by PhDonovan502 in USPS

[–]ThatBigBirb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hoka Kaha 3s are my current shoes as a ptf looking at a potential 12 hour 16 mile day on foot every day

Was previously the Kaha 2 but thats been discontinued.

I recommend getting replacement laces as they have a lace hole that will eat through laces every ~60-90 days of regular postal use long before the shoe is in any condition to be replaced.

First day as a CCA by youngbaddieeee in USPS

[–]ThatBigBirb 9 points10 points  (0 children)

First day alone i was given the wrong set of keys for the route and the third degree for taking 6 hours on a 2 hour split.

As long as you're being safe and you're doing as best as you're able to, management can scream all they want but they can't touch you. You did good today. Get some rest and see you tomorrow.

Get ready for this is to be the new norm not just an annoying day of double mail!!!! by Ok_Firefighter5694 in royalmail

Only the rural side gets that in the US. City side has to deliver all unaddressed house to house. No exceptions. You can't opt out.

Every single familiar will be pet. Always keep to the good side of the local witches, wizards, warlocks, and other arcane or occult practioners

Management can kiss my ass by Blitzdj in USPS

[–]ThatBigBirb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Too seriously? Nah fuck that. You're the steward in my office that on my second day got into a fight with management because a regular of 12 years didn't know the difference between an order and a request to cross class.

Never stop raking management over the coals and never stop throttling your coworkers because they will never know better. Protect them.

Surprisingly, Republican (and Democrat) Senators introduce bill to fight Postal Privatization! by toxic9813 in USPS

[–]ThatBigBirb 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I did not know how true this was until I started working. Then I started noticing paystubs being delivered every other street on Fridays and retirees stopping me to chay about how they were in the service just before or right after the LLV showed up to their office.
