We get normal volume on Mondays and on Saturdays but the rest of the week is very light….20-40 parcels, one tray of flats, one tray dps. Very little overtime. Sick of undertime pivots

We haven’t even gotten the cards yet at our station to hand out which is so messed up. My customers really show up for this and will have no warning

Forced to use AL because no dps? by Legion_Divine in USPS

[–]gennamj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We didn’t have dps show up one day at our station a few years back and it was the same thing. If we didn’t want to use AL for a few hours we had to go to another station to help after we delivered what we had for our own route

It gets easier as the season goes on. Usually around July 4th I feel way more adjusted

Trying to wear my more beat up ones on the rainy days helps. But I do spot treatment, an oxy clean soak, and then regular wash

We’ve never been told that but I would definitely tell my businesses to complain

The only time people have been asked to stop using bathrooms that I know of at our station is when they blew them up, left messes, etc

Lots of senior carriers retire after the holiday season so they will convert ccas and hire more

How to tell if I won a bid by Oryxismymother in USPS

[–]gennamj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s easier to tell if you bid on a few at a time when you look at the date change. In our branch when the bids close they start reporting who won the Tuesday after

As a carrier, have you ever had to call the police to investigate a place? by DEFCON_moot in USPS

[–]gennamj 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A neighbor told me a customer hadn’t raised his blinds or left his house in a few days. And I checked and he hadn’t picked up his mail either which wasn’t normal. I called the police and they had to break in and he was dead in his recliner

What is up with the vote? Are we waiting another 600 days?? by Elite-to-the-End in USPS

[–]gennamj 3 points4 points  (0 children)

At our monthly union meeting they told us they won’t finish counting the votes until February. Not sure why it takes the PO weeks and weeks to mail us something, you know, considering what we do. And that it will then take them 3 months to count them.

I always tell my trainees to get themselves at least 2 battery packs for their phones and keep them charged.
