You’re in the union now I assume?
congrats on officially becoming a fedposter
Postal work is good work
If you mean USPS prepare to be worked like a goddamn dog and pushed around by more senior coworkers at first but if you can take it, its stable work and the pay ain't bad
I fail to see how this is different from every job ever
Cool
City carrier or rural?
CCA
No idea how much work I'll be getting or anything but seeing as Chipotle literally gave me 2 and a half hours last week it can't be worse
It's probably easier on you than Rural too
They gave me so much heavy shit to move myself
yeah I support the blue… hopefully you don’t need to drive an LLV (if they still have those lol)
I wasn't aware there was any option other than driving an LLV since they're really dragging their feet on the NGDVs
Rural side they sometimes use their own car. I've seen pro masters and dodge caravans in use as well, there have been a few a additions to the fleet over the years.
I prefered the LLV to the alternatives honestly. Got a great turning radius and high visibility.
Congratulations they paid decent and you have a union. Definitely join that Union because sometimes management can really start f****** with you. It's a stressful job but they don't drug test. Casing can be really annoying during political season
lol at the communist mailman stereotype
congratulations. you don't hear a lot about sleet but don't underestimate it
congrats!!!

I would have been fired after a day for being unable to hide my disgust

Congrats! Seems like a nice gig
thank you for your service
gratz!
Congrats! This is definitely an upgrade compared to fast food.
Working rural at USPS was personally one of the worst jobs I ever had, but my supervisor was also an anti-union dick that refused to let part timers work more than 2 days a week and then got mad when people said they had to go work at their 2nd job. ("This IS your job!" Yeah, ok buddy, not if you're only working us 20 hours a week.) I uh... also am a plus size autistic that doesn't do well in heat at all, so that didn't help. If you are working USPS I hope you get a reasonable mail load if you're delivering, but if you work indoors sorting mail or customer service, honestly those were some of the best jobs I saw before I got let go.
If you end up having a hell of a time, don't feel bad if you need to request a transfer or just use this to get an even better job somewhere else. I knew people that worked at my location that only switched there because they heard down the grape vine that a full time position was opening up in under a year. Otherwise, it's not uncommon to see elderly people working at a single spot for 15+ years only getting 40+ hours on crappy hourly wages while on "part-time" because they gradually learned every single route. USPS does not reward location based loyalty. Btw, if you're curious, at least while I was working in the rural union, part-timers don't get benefits or years counted towards retirement even if they do make it to full time. You start at 0 years no matter what when you're employed full-time.
Part time rural is perhaps the worst job in the postal service, regulars have it pretty good but RCAs are pretty screwed over in really weird ways. It depends a lot on the office for everybody, but especially for rural.
Good for you. Do you have good footwear? Like, designed to be active on your feet all day shoes?
Guess there's a handful of postal persons on here. Feel free to ask about work stuff if you need a second opinion, supervisors will absolutely try to abuse you if they think you don't know they aren't allowed to.
Congrats!
That's a sweet gig actually hell yeah
