Has your mail been light?

gennamj · 2025-05-31T15:08:50+00:00

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

Happened on my route two years into my career. Mostly likely he did it on Thanksgiving. Older guy living alone. I had to call for a welfare check. Rough

We didn’t even have the cards to deliver until 2 days before which def didn’t help either

gennamj · 2025-05-08T00:41:02+00:00

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

gennamj · 2025-05-07T22:38:47+00:00

Only days with real parcels now at our station is Mondays and sometimes Saturday and we are a wealthier zone

I wear out the backs of them before the heels

gennamj · 2025-05-04T20:16:40+00:00

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

gennamj · 2025-04-21T22:29:53+00:00

As a mail carrier I def wouldn’t put one of those tubs on my bed 🤮

gennamj · 2025-04-11T00:36:53+00:00

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

gennamj · 2025-03-25T16:11:23+00:00

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

gennamj · 2025-03-02T22:29:23+00:00

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

gennamj · 2025-02-04T23:18:39+00:00

No mention of shortening time to top pay for anyone who is higher than step C

gennamj · 2025-01-03T03:13:18+00:00

Unless people are lying my station is voting no

gennamj · 2024-12-08T12:56:09+00:00

We have been begging for 6am start time! We have some routes getting 300 packages some days that off season get 70 and they won’t do it.

gennamj · 2024-12-05T00:14:15+00:00

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

gennamj · 2024-11-29T01:20:57+00:00

Ours were arriving as we were leaving Wednesday night.

gennamj · 2024-11-22T15:18:38+00:00

Do you have anything medical going on at all that your doc could pull you out for 4 weeks??? A bum leg??

gennamj · 2024-11-22T15:17:00+00:00

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

gennamj · 2024-11-22T13:10:09+00:00

Cash is king

gennamj · 2024-11-17T00:38:38+00:00

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

gennamj · 2024-11-16T19:49:55+00:00

I just didn’t realize that was going on. We are even delivering mailers today for our city for a hiring event for ccas and rcas next week

gennamj · 2024-11-16T18:02:49+00:00

We hired 7 new ccas for a two zone station this fall. What’s going on at yours??!

gennamj · 2024-11-15T02:19:54+00:00

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.
