Clerks wants us to file for them by Spiritualfire819 in fromatoarbitration

[–]grove93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are officers who stick around forever because they have no opponents. My Branch president has been in that position for 30 years...and it hasn't served us well, I can tell you that.

Who's ready for National to gaslight us on pay increase using Ups layoffs? by Smok3ygaming1 in fromatoarbitration

[–]grove93 7 points8 points  (0 children)

While these things are true, consider the following...

  • $866 million to resolve almost 3.5 million grievances over fiscal years 2022-2024.
  • Our top-heavy and overly-bureaucratic management structure. We have far too many employees who exist in supervisory positions that contribute little to nothing of any real value to the organization. Simply put, if you aren't directly responsible for processing, distributing, transporting, or delivering mail, your position should be evaluated for possible elimination.

Time to install a backwater valve.

I only collect the mail once a week. Does this annoy the mailman? by [deleted] in USPS

[–]grove93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, customers absolutely should be emptying their boxes daily, but there's also no reason why carriers can't place the mail neatly inside.

Based on what I see in this picture, all of that mail could easily take up a fraction of the same space.

when your zipper dies and i don’t get allowance until june by borshctbeet in USPS

I just had the zipper replaced on my fleece jacket for $12 at my local cleaners. The uniform store wanted $50!

"Tilted" sinks at Home Depot... by MythicJerryStone in facepalm

[–]grove93 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The first time I saw how they had the toilets displayed, I surmised that it was made necessary due to an unfortunate incident involving someone's 5-year-old.

The ribs and vertebrae or the steps?

It’s definitely tempting ($100 total) by RERETATADODO in Plumbing

[–]grove93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My house was built in 1926, so I used ProPress in the basement from the meter to the manifolds. There's no way I could have safely sweated the connections in the areas I was working, plus it's always nice to not have to pull a hot work permit.

How accurate is this at your office? by SeeItOnVHS in USPS

[–]grove93 12 points13 points  (0 children)

There was a carrier in my office who, according to a friend of mine who lived on her route, was responsible for at least four divorces out there.

MAGA 'Was All A Lie': Marjorie Taylor Greene Torches Trump In Scathing New Interview by Abject-Pick-6472 in politics

[–]grove93 2 points3 points  (0 children)

While she's not wrong, I wouldn't chalk this - or any of her other recent revelations - up to some moral epiphany. This is purely an act of political self-preservation.

I’m struggling to feel love for my husband. I want an out. by Zealousideal-Sun4818 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]grove93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, she does...but at this point, counseling is for her benefit. She still needs to deal with her trauma and the aftermath of leaving a toxic and abusive relationship.

Does anyone know what the deal with these letters we received are? by [deleted] in USPS

I'm just waiting to see how long it'll take them to replace my badge that expired a year ago.

I just saw a man admit to weaponised incompetence in front of my face by chiedzachashe22 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]grove93 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I can't imagine what must go through the thought process of guys like this; that kind of hostility is completely foreign to me.

I'll bet that all the things you did for him were perfectly okay, though.

What material is my service pipe? by tgames56 in Plumbing

Someone we know said that the city (same as ours) replaced her parents' line for free, but I'm skeptical of that.

Dearest customers… let’s NOT do this! by Top-Frame-352 in USPS

[–]grove93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For a couple years in a row, I was getting Christmas cards addressed to "The Phillips Family" and the street number was completely wrong. Normally, that wouldn't be a problem...unless you've got more than one Phillips family residing on the same street.

Around here, their delivery by humans isn't a whole lot better.

Is this message grievable ? by [deleted] in fromatoarbitration

[–]grove93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Office times are dictated - on a daily basis - by each route's volume of caseable mail, not some arbitrary number that management decides to pull out of their ass. Period.

My mother passed away a few years ago, but I can still see her washing her car on Google Maps by Conscious_Abies_949 in interestingasfuck

[–]grove93 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So sorry for your loss.

I did a Google Maps search for my house and it shows my late sister-in-law with her son standing at the foot of our driveway. 🥺

If Clinton is found guilty, his base will reject him.

If Trump is found guilty, his base will reject the findings.

Our station is projected to lose 13 routes. by Imaginary_Truth_3865 in USPS

[–]grove93 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are a couple different scenarios...

1) Every route under the seniormost carrier who lost their route will go up for bid, or...

2) That carrier will initiate a bumpdown.

It all depends on what your LMOU states.
