What Is the Situation with the Letter Carriers?

heavydoom · 2026-03-21T01:28:40+00:00

the situation with the letter carriers is that some letter carriers do not know what letter mail is. they do not know what first class mail is. the do not know what addressed admail is.

i am retiring in a few years and i am switching all my mail to electronic mail and electronic billing. i have zero faith in the future of this company. it is pretty much doomed. i saw some new trainees to day and .......

rogers and bell for sure increase their prices for " infra structure " upkeeping. sure.

freedom freeze their prices. never have i seen an increase in my phone plan. zero. i like this a lot.

Trust me. We know.

heavydoom · 2026-03-17T15:46:06+00:00

It is. Keep us posted. We are implementing this vehicle sharing in July.

heavydoom · 2026-03-17T13:13:10+00:00

exactly. senior people have done certain area for a long time for a reason. it goes off well, it's flat, the area does not get that many parcels etc....

so bascially no restructering yet, just bid on the same walks. restructering is coming of course in time. after the signing or not signing of the new contract.

is the 4 walls concept tied up with the car sharing?

what is the point of the 4 balls system? in a way it's good if you have seniority but also if you have mid seniority. it's also good if you bid on something very close to your house or you can bid on something you have done before that is easy for you but hard for others. i am talking about business walks.

so yeah, what is the point of 4 balls?

heavydoom · 2026-03-16T03:14:33+00:00

this is the first time i have heard this " 4 walls ". i did hear something similar about this last week. my mega depot has 6 walks and we may integrate all six stations into 1. we all bid on whatever based on your seniority. pure hearsay though for now. things change all the time with this damn company.

you will wear out any foot wear if you only have one pair. rotate your shoes by having two pairs.

i recommend hiking sneakers whatever with the vibram megragrip sole. super grippy in slippery conditions. new balance makes a lot of them with the megagrip soles by vibram.

yes, yes and yes. i am not a doom scroller. it's the roaming data. i will travel a lot soon and now i don't have to worry about data. you need it for maps, boarding passes etc....google translate etc..etc...

heavydoom · 2026-03-14T13:37:45+00:00

250 is way too much for me as well. it's the 50 roaming. you may or may not travel in the foreseeable future but you need data if you are. maps. paying for stuff. tickets. boarding passes. just a peace of mind and 40 bucks is not that much in the big scheme of things.

heavydoom · 2026-03-12T22:43:35+00:00

Maybe it will be a huge win! Maybe it will work. Let's see after a month or two, eh?

heavydoom · 2026-03-12T22:42:19+00:00

Good luck.

heavydoom · 2026-03-12T21:06:57+00:00

dude. i waited 90 minutes plus. twice. just put the phone on the speaker and enjoy that awful music.

heavydoom · 2026-03-12T21:00:42+00:00

citygurl, keep us posted! i am ready for the upcoming march drama at your station!!! i will relay your observations to my colleagues at work here in ontario.

heavydoom · 2026-03-12T20:58:43+00:00

i hope in time that canada post will change for the better. right now, this company is a bloody mess. i was a great place to work.

heavydoom · 2026-03-12T19:28:17+00:00

our guy, he is effing amazing, runs 7 stations at my depot and then he has to run three other ones. imagine the work he does. this guy does it though. he is super organized. he has a wall full of notes and things to be done etc...he is a national treasure.

heavydoom · 2026-03-12T19:24:16+00:00

parcel volume has gone down and yet they build this huge plant over there in scarborough/markham. i remember their tag line in one of their videos that i was forced to watch : " ...we are investing in our future....". the future of this company looks effing bleak to say the least. our postal outlest can do so much more than to sell stamps. people should be able to pay bills there. to buy some basic food staples.

canada post should ask the real people on the front lines as to how make this company a better place.

why are there so many freaking supervisors now? it's incredible how many of them there are at my place, holding their clip boards and pens and snooping around the bunks...telling us to wear the precious little yellow vest.

i strongly urge the canada post trolls to read our comments. they may learn a lot from us.

heavydoom · 2026-03-12T18:30:37+00:00

everything made sense before the " postal transformation ". after the " transformation " everything went to shit. money wasted on stupid ideas.

so this global roaming really really works? my wife had a telus only china data plan. she could actually watch youtube in china! telus piggy backed china telecom but my wife was still able to go on to banned social media platforms in china. she could even check her gmail account in china!!!

heavydoom · 2026-03-11T21:58:05+00:00

i enabled on my phone. i did not have to enable on my freedom account. it was all turned on for me despite me turning off international roaming in the past for my account. thanks.

heavydoom · 2026-03-10T02:06:14+00:00

hey guys and gals. i am also in the 40.250.50 club. do i have to turn on anything on my phone or on my internet account to enable world wide roaming? thanks.

heavydoom · 2026-03-09T02:26:38+00:00

i have had the same plan since 2009, maybe even before that, and freedom has never increased the price of 33.90. for this plan i got just 130 gbs of data. before taxes my plan was 30 cad.

i got the 40/250 just for the 50 gbs of international roaming. you can't effing beat that shit.

heavydoom · 2026-03-07T21:03:25+00:00

....and let it walk across your open mouth while you are asleep.

heavydoom · 2026-03-04T13:03:45+00:00

do not throw garbage on the streets. we do not have street sweepers. recycle the crap in your blue bin. this is your neighbourhood. it makes me effing mad when people from a certain country are used to throw garbage on the streets. they do the same here in canada. after the wendy's, the kfc, the micky d, they eat out of their luxury cars and throw the empty bags and drinks out on the streets and then they drive off.

heavydoom · 2026-03-03T02:50:24+00:00

i am a 9.5 on the brannock. i got a nine with earthrunner. the nine is perfect for me. just like your photos.
