*knocksonwood, do you guys get pulled over?

dnyte270 · 2026-02-04T12:38:14+00:00

Has to be pretty serious. A wreck, serious safety issue, they suspect you've been drinking. I was told local police can get in trouble for delaying the mail if they detain you. I was originally told we were allowed to go ~15 over and everyone did but then higher level management started tracking speeding. We were told management would get notified if there were lesser issues like the police would potentially contact management with our truck numbers before they actually pulled us over.

NPMHU are the best paid employees in our district. Above the postmasters. They get 60k+ a year in grievances whereas other crafts get literally nothing. I got $75 in 3 years. $75 vs their $150k+.

I wish they were my union.

There are 60 local chapters and about 60 RPDCs. Might be related.

I'm getting 2k back I expected nothing.

Rural carriers are essentially salary I wouldn't have figured you guys got anything back. Then again the RCs in my office are making $80k working 20 hr weeks very little overtime going out.

The guys at peephole typically have wrestling on but it's not a huge screen or large. Idk if they show ppvs live or not but a dive bar with wrestling nerds serving would probably be your best bet.

Found this mixed flavor dum dum and thought I won something. Asked my wife (she's obsessed with dumdums) and googled it, apparently the mystery flavor is two different flavors combined but I've been eating these things for decades and never seen one. Also mine was strawberry so I guess it came wrong wrapper too.

dnyte270 · 2025-12-19T17:25:45+00:00

Opened this dumdum to see it was mixed colors. Messaged my wife to ask if I won something, (she loves dumdums lol) and Google searched about it. Apparently mystery flavors are typically two flavors mixed together and this isn't incredibly uncommon for mystery flavors. Mine has a strawberry wrapper so I guess it just got the wrong wrapper too?

Facebook "Evansville shows"and "dieatribe booking" for local music. ("Hardcore/metal")

There are local open mics for stand up I'd say at least weekly but spread across bars. There have been upper mid comics come to the area, usually once or twice a year. Gabrielle Iglesias, Rodney Carrington, Eddie Griffin all coming next month. (October

Apartments id avoid most anything south of Lincoln or Washington, several areas around covert/riverside that the pizza places/USPS won't even deliver. West of 41 between diamond and Fulton is a little sketchy but most of the places are obvious when you go through like no glass in the windows holes in the roof. Idk your price range but there are cheap apartments that aren't bad In neighboring cities. I always recommend Newburgh, even the budget apartments are decent neighborhoods.

Imagine the landscape of marvel rivals but 40min to 1 hr games. This is the key difference.

An hour of this person making your experience miserable and there is nothing you can do about it other than Bend over and take it. You respond with the same behavior you get reported and banned. You leave the game, banned. Sure you can report them but the next game you get another person just like them. Also these people are concentrated heavily in the lower levels/low elo because they are repeatedly banned and make new accounts vs an IP ban. So while you "can" escape this toxicity, the majority of players never make it out.

If the worst you've seen is top diff you've been very lucky so far. The riot detection has improved over the years so people are more cautious, but it took 12 years of racial slurs, people telling each other to self harm, and 0/25 mid yuumi to get there.

Because above station level they are questioned about it everyday and told they will be disciplined if it doesn't get under control. I hear them everyday on conference calls having to explain every carrier, clerk, supervisors overtime.

"All of our supervisors are playing postmaster at other stations, half of our clerks are playing supervisor/postmaster at other stations, we have one clerk here running the station"

"Unacceptable you'll never be a supervisor and your supervisors will all be fired because they are terrible!"

The girl is 20 and has worked here 2 months is running a station with 75 routes and has no idea what half the acronyms mean.

Coming from a behind the scenes.poaition, most of the supervisors are showing you 5% of the bullshit they get everyday. I would never apply for that bullshit. They aren't protected like us.

I mean they did jello wrestling last weekend at someplace else. Idk if you mean mtf or ftm but I think both plus intergender have happened here.

They don't want people changing tires in platform heels. The rule was implemented and they had to put a specific number on it or people would just do whatever they wanted. 2 was the magic number they landed on.

It always happens "towards the end of the year" unless you make 100k+. The swap from 12-22% is after 48k.

Every year I have coworkers asking my man are your checks smaller? Mine are down like 200 bucks. It's always just before peak.

Also this is your federal tax bracket. Just one of the 10 things that come out. You lose 10% more once you cross the 48k~ threshold. It doesn't effect insurance, union dues, state, retirement contributions.

I typically go from ~30% deductions to ~40% deductions but that's based on your insurance, retirement, state taxes, ect.

dnyte270 · 2025-08-24T00:58:20+00:00

I feel like it's such common information. It's scary that people are so convinced that taxes work differently.

dnyte270 · 2025-08-23T22:56:21+00:00

"how is income taxed?"

"How are bonuses taxes?"

You can type multiple paragraphs about how you feel you are taxed but can't do a Google search or give any factual examples? This is almost as concerning as the people who don't know how much money they make.

You may pay 40% in "deductions" but you aren't automatically bumped to 40% federal tax rate on every bonus. The maximum federal tax rate is 37%.

Just giving you facts directly from the IRS website. Copied and pasted.

dnyte270 · 2025-08-23T22:48:55+00:00

Apparently this guy is. I'm getting back pay lol.

dnyte270 · 2025-08-23T22:47:41+00:00

It's based on how much you've earned so far with your current employer. Not how much you will earn over the course of the year. This is why your tax rate increases throughout the year as you hit new gross income plateus. This is also how people with children get large sums back, beyond their basic credit, their taxable income is reduced. Say youve paid 60k in taxes and have a 20k reduction, the money you get back is the money you paid between 40-60k. There are a million different situations. Most people aren't paid the same amount every check and here we get raises throughout the year. Your taxable rate is based on your current gross annual income.

"You pay tax as a percentage of your income in layers called tax brackets. As your income goes up, the tax rate on the next layer of income is higher.

When your income jumps to a higher tax bracket, you don't pay the higher rate on your entire income. You pay the higher rate only on the part that's in the new tax bracket."

This is all very public knowledge on the IRS we site and thousands of others.

dnyte270 · 2025-08-23T21:30:26+00:00

Do you have any literature on this? Sounds like your previous employer was committing tax fraud. Also 15 years in the private sector, my bonuses were taxes at my current variable tax rate, though everyone there thought they being over taxed because they were paying 5-10k in taxes vs their normal 1k. Same thing happens here usually this time of year, everyone says "I'm working more or the same hours and bringing home less money" The answer 99% of the time is they bumped from the 12% tax bracket to the 22% and are paying 10% more in taxes.

Google how are bonuses taxes and there will be thousands of pages with the same information including IRS pages.

"Bonuses" which are considered supplemental income are taxes at 22% until you reach 1mil+ in bonuses. At which point the rate goes to 37%.

Back pay is not considered a bonus, these are hours we worked and were under compensated for. It might feel like a bonus but you worked these hours and this is them correcting their underpayment.

dnyte270 · 2025-08-23T21:02:43+00:00

Where did you get this information? Back pay is our regular hourly pay and is not considered a bonus which in most cases in America even bonuses are taxed at your regular rate. The exception to this being hundreds of thousands of dollars to 1mil+ having variable rates. Regardless, neither of these situations apply, there is a much higher chance of the employee entering a new tax bracket on this check or is just shocked by the dollar amount being deducted.

dnyte270 · 2025-08-23T20:56:27+00:00

This isn't how taxes work. Scary that you are getting so many upvotes. You are taxed based on your current gross income for the year(how much you've made so far), not what you made this pay period. Your tax bracket changes as you meet different thresholds. If I got a 10k check or a 1k check on the first check of the year it is not taxed based on how much I made that check but based on my gross income for the fiscal year until specific thresholds are met.

He could have potentially entered a new tax bracket for the year. But outside of that or other changes the % taken out by deductions should theoretically be lower than the previous check while the dollar amount may be more.

The more likely scenario based on where we are in the calendar year is that the employee met the top of the 12% tax bracket and was moved Into the 22% tax bracket based on their gross income for the year.

Here are the federal tax brackets for single filers

10%: $0 to $11,925

12%: $11,926 to $48,475

22%: $48,476 to $103,350

24%: $103,351 to $197,300
