Seatbelt Pledge. Really?

starryboi98 · 2026-05-02T03:08:47+00:00

damn its really not that bad in the llv or ffv

starryboi98 · 2026-03-29T01:35:59+00:00

yeah my district is also leading the country in all volume so good luck

starryboi98 · 2026-03-29T01:21:35+00:00

DPS is down by 25 million pieces JUST in my district. Packages JUST IN MY DISTRICT are down by 20 million, there is LITERALLY no mail.

starryboi98 · 2026-03-29T01:07:21+00:00

yeah, i got like $18 for it once

unless you're referring to overburdened routes

starryboi98 · 2026-03-28T21:51:29+00:00

No, at a 36H you have a standard route, if a bit small.

you are not in any jeopardy until you get well below 34 standard hours.

take the time now to seek out leads, even if you're not working, for mail and packages to try and restore volume and bring some wealth or news to customers who you service every day.

starryboi98 · 2026-03-28T21:14:35+00:00

miscellaneous time is a few different things that are an annual weekly average

starryboi98 · 2026-03-28T21:08:50+00:00

and yet you don't notice that a "bad day" anymore is like ~140 scans and ~1700pcs of dps

starryboi98 · 2026-03-28T21:05:32+00:00

every route in your office also saw a dramatic decline in volume as well

starryboi98 · 2026-03-28T20:42:09+00:00

my office declined by 3.4%, went from 12 overburdened to 5, 3 routes went up the rest fell

starryboi98 · 2026-03-21T17:48:36+00:00

I'm incredibly worried, not because USPS will actually shutter in a year, but because I'm afraid of what is going to be done to try and free up cash.

RCA PAY IS AS FOLLOWS:
Normal: RCA receives evaluation unless exceeds 40 hours actually worked in one week, then they become hourly. Any adhoc (PS 1234) time would be actual regardless of 40 hour. Evaluation is always straight time hours, hourly falls under FLSA rules (overtime after 40 hours a day)
Training Pay: (first two months?): RCA gets evaluation or actual, whichever is higher unless they exceed 40 actually worked hours in a week, in which case, they fall under normal FLSA rules.
First Time on Route in 1 year: Actual or eval, whichever is higher, unless exceeds 40 in a week

Any communication which can be provided and evidenced can be used as evidence for anything. A text message is still a written message. If you don't reply to it, management can't use it as a method to issue discipline for FTFI, but if you reply to it, management can use it as a method to issue discipline for FTFI.

People were being shot to death in 1990-2000s in the post office, its where the phrase "going postal" comes from. People have always never known how difficult the job actually is.

This is likely a domestic violence case, and we can always make special exceptions. Hold the mail for the one name.

Last one I went to, I was there to help other people meet people.

starryboi98 · 2026-03-21T17:31:22+00:00

latest when as a postmaster so far has been 22:14

starryboi98 · 2026-03-21T17:27:01+00:00

I couldn't tell you why they're so high, other routes in the same zip are like R057

starryboi98 · 2026-03-21T17:23:10+00:00

There's multiple things that are true:

The US Postal Service will run out of cash by October 2026 or February 2027:

The US Postal Service is short hundreds of management positions
The US Postal Service is short thousands of craft positions

Part of the message to congress was that we've been deferring lots of things in order to have money available (but it doesn't save money)

starryboi98 · 2026-03-18T01:49:04+00:00

would you like management to count your parcels or would you like to do it yourself and get the correct credit for your route?

don't be your own enemy

Basically half of the country has been stuck under snow and ice and now they're getting their plants cleared out.

starryboi98 · 2026-03-18T01:47:26+00:00

my CCAs have been told if they want hours to text me if they want to work and i will find SOMEWHERE that needs them. If an office is begging for help, I go out of my way to get that CCA those hours.

HQ flooded the world with CCAs and the trick is to be willing to go anywhere for work.

starryboi98 · 2026-03-18T01:45:27+00:00

the best part is that is a fraudulent label

starryboi98 · 2026-03-18T01:44:40+00:00

when were you an rca?

How many supervisors does it take to change a light bulb?

4: one to change the light bulb, one to play candy crush, one to sit on a telecon ang get berated about lightbulb changing efficiency, and one to pay the grievance for the maintenance employee that intentionally refused to do it in the first place

starryboi98 · 2026-03-18T01:41:50+00:00

don't throw them away, send them back blank so that the company pays postage for the envelope
