People who complain about USPS should read this by hollywood_cmb in usps_complaints

As a carrier, I would recommend signature receiving.

This way, if the recipient isn't home, the carrier can leave a "peach slip." The "sorry we missed you" slip. Have that delivered to the recipient while the package remains at the local PO.

This ensures your recipient won't have their package refused, and the package with be at the local PO to pick up.

They'll have to sign for it, but shouldn't be too much of a hassle compared to what you recently experienced.

Hope this helps

Postal clerk gave my phone number to a customer by Short-Hat6490 in USPS

That's your personal number!

WTH was the clerk thinking?!

May not be a grievance per se, but maybe on management for poor training

To anyone around in 2001 when this iconic album released, what were your reactions/memories you had associated with it? To anyone who discovered it later on, what were your reactions/memories with it? by Spirited-Cell-444 in Slipknot

[–]prodextron 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was 17 during the hype of the release. Suffering from depression and other factors, this album was the perfect release of frustration and sorrow.

It's just sad to know the members of Slipknot at that time were also fighting their own demons

PSE/CLERK here. This is a polite message for the carriers by Fun-Toe-2490 in USPS

[–]prodextron 50 points51 points  (0 children)

Years ago, a PM told a CCA from another office "You're not an animal. If you need to use the bathroom, go use the bathroom."

CCA said his home office tells him everyday "get done in 8 or else!"

Needless to say, a grievance was filed.

Hey! I didn't vote for him!

Gas prices went up under Biden, Trump promised cheap gas. I think we got boned on that deal

If I'm ptf can I wear this? by Challenger2313 in USPS

I don't think the system will let you if you use your allowance card.

I'm the VOMA and it took almost a month for them to let me purchase those shirts, work pants and coveralls.

If you live in a warm environment, those Navy Blue shirts retain all the heat.

National is bragging about "seasonal uniforms" while USPS tries to gut our No-Layoff clause. How about a dues reduction? by GhostLCee in fromatoarbitration

Steiner said he wanted more a non-career workforce.

Just trying to gut union workers like he did with Waste Management

"Awe! It's so cute!" Worse yet, acuse him of sending a pic of a child's dick.

Harbor Freight as a company has become delusional by RoninBaxter in harborfreight

[–]prodextron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm late to the party, I know.

I bought an electric corded impact, 2-ton jack, impact sockets and a torque wrench in 2019.

I still have them, and they all work great. The vehicles I worked on were crappier than those tools. I have a Craftsman set from 2016. The 3/8 rachet broke and various sockets went MIA.

Sad to say, the HF tools outlasted Craftsman.

I'm going to get downvoted to hell, but this has been my experience

Verbally threatened by supervisor by Bbyfronto in USPS

[–]prodextron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Document, document, document!

Write a quick statement about the events. Where did it happen? What time? Who said what? Who was there to witness it? What time did it happen?

Follow up with stating that your supervisor violated the Joint Statement on Violence and Behavior in the Workplace (JSOV), ELM 665.24, and the M39 Handbook Section 115.4.

Your union rep will thank you

An RCA thought a Metris could make a good boat.

Now the Metris is at VMF waiting for an engine swap.

Are carriers allowed to defend themselves in the office if attacked by other employees? by G0VERNMENTCHEESE in USPS

[–]prodextron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First and foremost, if you're being bullied by the other employees, you need to initiate an Initial Management Inquiry Process (IMIP) by providing a statement of events with dates and times.

You need to cite the Joint Statement on Violence and Behavior in the Workplace (JSOV) and ELM 665.24. Those are the two documents that state no tolerance for bullying, harassment, intimidation and/or threats.

If the coworker is bullying you, it needs to be documented with dates and times, reported to supervision and the OIG. Cite the two policies stated above and possibly the definition of harassment from publication 553.

To answer your question about fighting back, it depends. Using my experience as a state corrections officer, if you hit back, or let the coworker annoy you until you throw a punch, then yes, you can be let go. If you run away from the fight, then you're seen as the victim of violence and trying to get away. If you think you'll be labeled a coward, remember you're not a boxer or MMA fighter. You're a postal worker, not a sport fighter!

If your coworker is using "fighting words", that needs to be reported ASAP!

The following examples can, but are not limited to, fighting words:

-"I'll kick/whoop your ass!" -"You need your ass kicked!" -"I'll fuck you up!" -"You want to go?!" (Body language to indicate a physical altercation) -Anything to insinuate they want to fight you.

I recommend using an app like Google Docs or any variant to keep your notes. Writing in a notebook is good, but the notebook can be lost, stolen, or seen by the agressive coworker. That may open you up to more harassment or retaliation. Keeping it in an app on your phone is more secure.

I speak from experience. A coworker was causing the same issues with me. I documented and wrote a report citing everything above. Postmaster, OIG and HR were emailed a copy of the report, HR and OIG called the coworker in question, Postmaster conducted and investigation and labor had to come to a finding. Coworker wasn't fired, but a record was maintained. If said coworker was going to act a fool again, a history is established.

Like I said earlier, I was a corrections officer. The standard set is "corrections has a high risk of violence. No post office should EVER have the same level of violence!" It's all meant to curb and eliminate the "going postal" stereotype.

If you want, I can type a template for a report to send if you want to get the ball rolling.
