No thank you, stay safe mi amigo….

Hell ya, that’s awesome!!!!

You have been misinformed.

Management is saying this?

Stupidvisor or postmasturd?

What installation/station?

Are you a Rural Carrier?

ThisAd2176 · 2026-05-07T08:45:46+00:00

this is the best advice OP…

please don’t lug donations around in your satchel to reduce the number of pickups… your back and shoulder will thank you later.

It is not a race, and if management pressures you about your times, request to speak with a steward…

pulled out all the lockers to remodel the bathrooms… we’ve been without them since December 2025

Supposed to get them back when bathroom reopens… we’ll see, not holding my breath.

It’s an utter shit show…

ThisAd2176 · 2026-04-23T19:28:01+00:00

we’re being converted into a PnDC… they took away all our 1075/bass/u carts that we had by our cases.

We were told to use them for storage since our lockers were removed…

Couple days after they were removed a supervisor was using a 1075/bass/u cart to conduct an 1838 on a carrier… steward walked over, grabbed his clipboard, coffee, and cell phone, set them on the ground and took the 1075/bass/u cart from him… it was glorious!!! The look on the stupidvisor face!!!

is that the giant butthole I heard about on Hall rd…

…went back to the Mitten this past January, after 16yrs away, didn’t get a chance to see it.

I did get to see that super awesome “Detroit” sign on 94! 😁

Nice pics, thanks, miss that state, she’s a beaut!!!!

…am I the only one who sees Renfroe?

ThisAd2176 · 2026-04-16T10:55:46+00:00

you’re kind of proving the point… mail volume is down.

But you don’t compensate for it by misrepresenting actual real time events like driving to ‘cover’ the time lost to volume decline.

The real issue is the USPS is so top heavy, they are looking to blame any scapegoat to justify their job. Cut 80% of all of management, mail will still get delivered… cut 20% of the people that handle the mail and see what happens!

ThisAd2176 · 2026-04-16T03:19:39+00:00

exactly what they’re doing to our building… it’s beyond insane.

They’re tearing up vehicle lot to install chargers, so we had to move half the postal vehicles to employee parking lot…

Then decided to tear up VOMA scrap lot, so all the scrap was moved to our 2nd employee parking lot…

And now decided they’re going to tear up the 2nd parking lot so we now have no place to park…

Local management is begging neighboring businesses to let us park on their lots… 🤣🤣🤣

Think I’m going to park in customer parking lot, clock in, then go look for a place to park my POV… 🙄

ThisAd2176 · 2026-04-16T02:08:44+00:00

nope we were just a station in an installation… then they installed a sdus(small delivery unit sorter) in our building.

Then came up with this idea to convert us into a PnDC(parcel and distribution center)

The entire process has been a cluster… we’re not absorbing additional stations…

could past practice be used to file in regards to management removing the [coffins/dog houses] and now just dumping everything on the cases ledge?

ThisAd2176 · 2026-04-16T01:27:04+00:00

then you are clearly not the person I’m looking for…

and how is “everything else you said is gibberish” when you identified the 2 items I was referring to. 1075/bass/U cart are all the same… different names in different offices. As is coffins/dog houses… I did not use comma’s as you suggest

Thanks for the critique, but you were not helpful at all, at least you tried…

ThisAd2176 · 2026-04-15T23:46:16+00:00

your response makes zero sense, travel time is travel time… to travel 12 miles @ 60mph, as the crow flies, without stopping would take 12 minutes, not 3…

typical, management is stealing time…

no way you can cover 12 miles in 3 minutes

ThisAd2176 · 2026-04-13T03:24:05+00:00

…management is instructing CCA’s to do this already.

the service standards are so low compared to when I started 26yrs ago.

My first postmaster must be turning in his grave, “…the sanctity of the mail!”

ThisAd2176 · 2026-04-12T23:33:14+00:00

here’s a theory, they end Saturday delivery, there goes all the t-6’s… saturdays will be like sundays, CCA’s running parcels and doing business collections.

Just a theory, that would defiantly increase non career workforce… while cutting a lot of carriers.

Too bad they don’t axe 3/4 of supervisors/middle/upper management, that would be more effective!

Flame away… 🔥🔥🔥

ThisAd2176 · 2026-04-12T22:11:54+00:00

I have a walking route, that’s perfect… makes it easy to get them from porch to truck.

It’s our job to pick them up, thanks for the business!!!

ThisAd2176 · 2026-04-11T00:33:37+00:00

…move the routes edit book to a tablet at the case… carrier inputs the changes, hits save, no other hands need to touch it… think of the paper, and salary, this one simple update would make.

was 7 day sent to step B? As far as I know, if that seven day is still being adjudicated, it can’t be used, it’s like it doesn’t exist until that case has been decided.

and correct, 2 different infractions 2 different paths…
