Wichita,Ks. still witholds maintenance positions when not one employee has recieved a 60 day letter to be excessed. The New Call Center has absorbed most everyone with a level in pay as well. I hear an addition of Sorting Machines coming but when. When will all this end. Just trying to get back to my home town.
All depends where you’re located and how big of city it is. I work in a suburban city of 13,000 people. It’s pretty relaxed. Go 30 minutes to an urban city of 400,000+ and it can be horrible. It is the most micromanaged service/business ever created. You have people with big egos who make decisions without ever having walked the walk. In other words, people who have never carried the mail are setting the rules and implementing new regulations for the carriers. And they have a very hard time admitting when they are wrong. The mail service will never end. Especially with internet viruses and hackers stealing identities, the mail is still the safest way to send and receive information and always will be.
to anyone thinking about working for usps don’t! its awful.ive been a carrier for 26 yrs all I can say is its a miserable job,,get a dgree and do something else,i got locked and addicted to the money/I regret it
I’m interested in the letter carrier position thank you
Clayton – our site is NOT the official USPS. Try calling them at 1-800-AskUSPS
Yeah, I agree with another carrier, just put a bullet in your head, the job is absolutely miserable. The job is hard enough, but the supervisors are demons and just try to push you over the edge, which doesn’t take much. And the job is getting worse every year. The Post Office is going to a 5 day work week soon, and that’s why they’re hiring so that they can lay you off with no trouble when they have to lose 30,000 carriers. Go work at McDonalds, you’ll be glad you did!
Start tomorrow as a te carrier . Do they really work us 60 hours a week ?
“Interaction with customers”!!!
I am glad they put this is writing.
On route check days, customers are afraid to ask questions, and any interaction is deducted from your route time as “line 22”.
All the postal publications I have read for almost 30 years play up the carriers that talk to their customers, because it makes good Public Relations news. But subtract that time on route check day (and we are talking minutes here, not a lot), and those minutes become harassment points when you ask for overtime, because management will NOT figure this into your street time.
Save yourself the trouble and just put a bullet in your head. I carried for over ten years, it’s the worst job you can imagine. It looks nice from the outside, but you don’t know what hell the carrier supervisors put you through. Let alone you have to deal with dogs, heavy mail, dangers of falls, and inclement weather. That’s rough enough in itself, but add demonic supervisors and you have a prescription for misery.
StevieNix. If you don’t like it go and take a job at Mcdonalds and get paid minimum wage. You’re making at least double that as a T.E. Nobody put a gun to your head and force you to take the position and the $18 an hour. Stop bitching and get your hands dirty.
Apply as a T.E!. Get screwed by the lazy regulars in the office, incompetent managers, no benefits, having your only day off in six months taken away the night before, no possibility of advancement, and a failing mismanaged business model…WOW! so glad i applied!
I am in the Northern New England area and the eReassign shows no results found.
Is this their idea of a joke?
NEVER VOLUNTEER
another way to get around the RIF!! USPS wants layoff clause out with MH & carriers so IF you get there & the routes expand to elininate jobs WHO goes FIRST? you the transferee!!!!!!! Don’t get sucked into the offer!!
positions available where??? i dont see any!!
“This is fantastic, do I begin as a PTF once again with less than 40 hours a week?” I belive Mr. Donahoe forgot to explain this!
Get a life Donahoe! What a scam this is.
