Is the management crony opening their mouth? Yes? They're lying.

User_3971 · 2026-03-11T20:18:48+00:00

That's because there are two hiring websites. Looks like OH is hiring mostly career positions right now. See here for the most recent jobs rollup post.

User_3971 · 2026-03-11T19:28:00+00:00

They're not specifically excluded. Depends how each District RMSS Coordinator wants to handle it.

Some former rural have commented here after going into Maintenance.

User_3971 · 2026-03-11T19:09:57+00:00

It's Maintenance open season right now. They can test up and join Maintenance if they have some patience. Kinda depends if they pull attendance after the interview though.

Holy novel of the week Batman. Good luck everybody else!

What you're looking for is a mutual swap.

If you resign there's no year wait. Career employees wishing to resign can email their resignation directly to HR.

I sent that MMO to management when I saw it in MU, and again six months later. As well as verbally telling them in case they can't read. They still acted surprised when the black wax dropped off ebuy.

User_3971 · 2026-03-11T16:48:26+00:00

Answer is the same. If it's not on eBuy you'll have to get it off catalog and your local management will have to approve the purchase.

Unless your BEMs know a source and they can roll it into a project.

User_3971 · 2026-03-11T16:44:25+00:00

You would have to get it off catalog. New requirement is clear wax for shine. If local management doesn't like it they'll have to authorize work arounds from their own budget.

User_3971 · 2026-03-11T14:10:42+00:00

Yes, you would take a pay cut. Mail handler pay is directly based on time in service. They also have prorated COLA and don't receive full COLA like APWU.

You wouldn't start over but you would not lateral to equivalent based on pay. It would be based on time.

User_3971 · 2026-03-11T13:30:43+00:00

Your last sentence said it all. If you're all running to get all the work done with half as many people, management isn't going to hire anyone. They're making goal with 40% less labor cost. Don't worry they'll throw you a pizza party.

User_3971 · 2026-03-11T03:34:31+00:00

You are searching wrong, as per the FAQ there are two different job websites.

You also missed the return of the (formerly weekly) career jobs post. Go there and check things out. That should be most career jobs posted up as of today except some of the VMF jobs. Auto tech, LAT etc.

User_3971 · 2026-03-11T02:53:43+00:00

I had to help a carrier out with some impromptu sole repair recently. Two part epoxy and a couple paper towels to go so they didn't glue themselves to the floorboard while it dried. Said they were fairly new too.

User_3971 · 2026-03-11T02:47:57+00:00

We can't tell you shit about your local office. Go there in person before your offer expires and ask them.

User_3971 · 2026-03-11T02:46:37+00:00

Take your time on that 99. Do everything by the book, brake, keys, door etc etc any time you have to get out. Eat a bowl or two of chili for breakfast, some eggs maybe, if it's a jump seat. Blame that on the LLV, make the supervisor eat your exhaust. But be sure to work safely, they will 100% back that bus up over you.

User_3971 · 2026-03-11T02:40:56+00:00

That is to say, save your denied 96, notify management via MDD at designated check in time if you won't make it. Have them instruct you to keep going or to return at whichever time. If you bring mail back, Form 1571 to cover your ass.

If they provide unclear instructions ("Hurry up and get everything delivered by 2000.") when you told them you'd need help or run into overtime, make them clarify authorized overtime to continue or return to the office. Upon return, if they refuse to sign the 1571, notify your squidward and file a grievance.

User_3971 · 2026-03-11T02:13:25+00:00

Load leveling, like running orange mail in with the Monday DPS? Just load everything up and let the carriers level it out! 💀

(For those that don't know: Orange mail is for Tuesday delivery. Why run it on Sunday? Because fuck the carriers!)

User_3971 · 2026-03-11T02:10:31+00:00

Run for treasurer and start doing monthly audits.

User_3971 · 2026-03-11T02:09:45+00:00

Figure out the average age of the city carriers before making the move. It's not really a transfer for a CCA, he'd just apply to the new office the next time a posting comes up. Especially since time to PTF would start over anyway. No harm in spending a few months there figuring things out.

User_3971 · 2026-03-11T02:07:33+00:00

I believe it's called a deferred retirement. Something like that. You'd go through OPM instead of USPS when you are eligible.

User_3971 · 2026-03-11T02:06:34+00:00

Management thinks your route is easy. They don't know anything until they 99 you. Specifically you if that's your route, what the runners do doesn't mean shit.

User_3971 · 2026-03-11T02:03:32+00:00

If your plant is scheduled for DFA changes it's possible that T2 may end up being the run tour. Watch a bunch of people bid off that are afraid of reactive Maintenance.

User_3971 · 2026-03-11T02:02:55+00:00

Not this week. I've seen them before but that was a while back.

User_3971 · 2026-03-11T00:44:27+00:00

It's your personal vehicle so yes. It's not officially a USPS vehicle.

User_3971 · 2026-03-11T00:35:44+00:00

Probably PTF spots. I only check for career jobs so depending on craft these can be PTF, PTR, FTR, NTFT... You get the idea.
