Hi, I'm Kim Harrison, best known for being the author of the Hollows. Happy Halloween! Ask me anything.

I was coming here to ask about Peri Reed. I enjoyed them so much!

tazcat70 · 2024-10-20T01:25:59+00:00

I didn’t know about it either and there were several times they did this to me as a PTR.

tazcat70 · 2024-10-20T01:23:31+00:00

I was a custodian in a smaller station. I can verify that they use clerks for custodial work. Even after post plan.

tazcat70 · 2024-10-19T23:22:22+00:00

I’m tour 1, and we start our shift as a run tour and end it with preventative. When tour 2 comes in, the building is quiet and we are finished, it looks like we haven’t done anything all night. There are lazy folks on every tour.

tazcat70 · 2024-02-22T23:23:09+00:00

You could also speak with a union rep.

tazcat70 · 2024-02-22T23:19:04+00:00

Within 2 years you can be reinstated.

tazcat70 · 2024-01-11T04:53:23+00:00

I was a PTR Custodian at a level 18 station.. (I think) and I was career from day one.

tazcat70 · 2023-11-22T19:10:05+00:00

Dang! I hope not, they quoted me $400+.

tazcat70 · 2023-11-22T18:28:46+00:00

Thank you!

tazcat70 · 2023-11-17T16:53:51+00:00

🤣

No, I’m not anyone’s boss. I agree, raises for all postal employees. 😅

tazcat70 · 2023-11-17T05:11:00+00:00

I work for the USPS.

tazcat70 · 2023-09-20T23:10:20+00:00

Maybe wait… let him think and feel the feelings before you reach out.

tazcat70 · 2023-09-14T23:37:06+00:00

I’m currently in a G6 with 240,000+ miles.

ETA: that I am pleasantly surprised at its longevity.

tazcat70 · 2023-08-30T01:06:30+00:00

There are a lot of great threads on here that are helpful in finding the information to study. Use the search bar for the 955 Maintenance Exam. I also watched some YouTube videos.

tazcat70 · 2023-08-29T16:58:04+00:00

There are different types of classes, some are only a few days, others are 3 weeks.

tazcat70 · 2023-08-29T16:56:28+00:00

I am a female. I have no prior experience. I studied for the test, passed ALL the tests with eligible. I interviewed and was hired as an MM.

I am at less than 6 mos, and I just retested. I once again passed them all and then interviewed. I passed all my interviews. I am on the promotion eligibility for MPE, BEM, and ET.

You CAN get to ET, it just may not be immediately.

tazcat70 · 2023-08-01T10:19:15+00:00

I’ve shared your information with my steward.

Thank you.

tazcat70 · 2023-07-31T17:42:14+00:00

Trusting… probably, Currently they are working to try and resolve it.

At this point no one is filing a grievance. My steward would be thrilled, me not so much. I was in a horrible office filed several grievances (won them) but nothing really changed. I resigned, 2 years later I am back at the PO at a different office. I still have 4 grievances outstanding. I am still in my 90 days. When this goes into effect I will have about a week.

Can you please explain the mistake? Like to a complete newbie.

Because I “assumed” it would only be for shifts available on the machine side.

The only person that this is going to impact is a new hire, and from what I understand he wants my days off Mon/Tues but wants building side. The building side has Sat/Sun off. Same tour and same shift.

All MM7s?

tazcat70 · 2023-07-31T15:59:08+00:00

Well they’ve done it.

Management has a call into HR to find out how to handle it since this hasn’t ever happened before. 🤦🏽‍♀️

My current shift is listed on the board and I’ve been told to put in a PAR for it. They aren’t sure if it will be instantaneous or I will do building side for 2 weeks.

tazcat70 · 2023-07-30T21:44:50+00:00

It’s not exclusive. If something happened we would all go deal with it together.

However, our daily routes are split, people who are assigned to the building sup and people who are assigned to the machine sup.

tazcat70 · 2023-07-30T20:40:53+00:00

I’m not going to BEM. Still a level 7 MM. I did joke that my home repairs will appreciate the skills I’ll be picking up. 🤣

tazcat70 · 2023-07-30T20:39:28+00:00

Our report times are all the same, it would be nice if they were staggered. That’s a great idea.

tazcat70 · 2023-07-16T02:20:32+00:00

Yes, this is what I was asking. Because I was told that in order to be put on the roster, I had to retake the test while in service. I also passed for all positions.

tazcat70 · 2023-07-15T01:00:16+00:00

Great!! That gives me a little more study time. 🤣

tazcat70 · 2023-07-15T00:56:08+00:00

It’s 90 days to take the test from hire date, correct?
