ROFL mis understanding by postal management for working over 12hrs. That is a 100% LIE. Management is fully aware of the hour restrictions, it is in their benefit to try and force carriers to work over the restrictions because grievances have become the price of doing buisness.
Yep but management will always say the right things to escape responsibilities and accountability. Hence they will stay exactly the same way. Meanwhile it’s easier to blame the employees. They could be the best freaking workers but the only reward is more work and no promotion. So why bust your ass? Just to get screwed over?
Also, every single time the post office says they are "trying to improve retention" they are lying. Virtually all of their job listings today still have the same conditions (trash wages, no set schedule, unsustainable involuntary overtime, "must be available to work" on call with no on call pay, literally no means to plan or do anything outside of work and never knowing when you'll have days off) which have been behind the new hire turnover crisis for years lmao.
I've been working for the post office as a carrier since 2000. Worked 14 years 10-12 hrs a day. When my wife became disabled I got off the overtime list, but after the pandemic hit we lost some carriers and others got tired of delivering a route and 1/2 every day so we lost more carriers. We were all forced to work 12 hours every day and we still couldn't get every route covered every day. Who wants to get up at 6:30 every day bust their ass 12 hours and get home at 10:00 every night??
I had been a letter carrier from 1988 until this past April when I retired after 34 years. I think I got out at just about the right time as far as the demands of the job goes. I never worked a Sunday in all those 34 years. I could've, and would've made good extra money, but I never wanted to and was never forced to. Back in the early days of my career, going back to 1988, the only Sunday delivery was Express Mail, because that was (is) delivered 365 days a year. As far as parcels, they only had Sunday delivery during December. All new hires can expect to work most every Sunday whether they want to or not. Mothers Day, Fathers Day, doesn't matter. You're working. I have seen many of the newer hires leave after a couple of months of too many hours on the worst routes. CCA means caca, because you get the shit routes. I did ok for myself, having contributed 10% of my base pay, along with 5% matching funding from USPS, to the TSP. I get a modest pension. If I was a young man today looking to start a career, and seeing how stressful the job is today, I don't think I would want to do it for 30+ years.
@@dougchan8161 Are you talking about CCAs, regular carriers who are on the OT desired list or anybody available? I wasn't on the OT list for the last few years in my career and was forced to deliver 2 hours on another route occasionally, but never a full route. The others I mentioned, more likely.
@@dougchan8161 Yeah. CCAs have no rights at all and, until they make regular, cannot even get much help from the union. In my area, whenever the CCAs did make regular, the first thing they did was to not be on the OT list for at least one quarter to get their Sunday and n/s day off for a while. That's for those that didn't quit while being a CCA. One CCA, who was a really good carrier and my U-man, was so burned out from too many days of grueling hours and no days off, actually quit the job. He was such a good carrier that management allowed him to return to the job after a few days off. He didn't quit thinking it was a strategy. It just worked out for him that way. I wish any new hires all the best. If you stick to it, eventually make regular and, even more importantly, get your own route where you'll have stability, it's a decent job.
@@Royale_with_Cheeze that's why the PO has such a bad retention rate. They're not paying competitively and work the CCAs, PSEs, RCAs and MHAs like dogs. And you have flunky reject supervisors put in charge that don't have the slightest concept of managing people.
I was pulling 16 hours a day for the last 5 weeks. I'm exhausted and I'm in day 11 again. I've gone 15 days with no day off. Please tell me how this is ok.
I disagree with you 100 percent. It's your direct Office Management that treats people so horrible they run them off. If they treated people like people should be treated they would stay and there wouldn't be a Shortage of Carriers. But instead they treat them the worst they can treat them and management gets their kicks out of it.
I had a nearly perfect attendance record, no absentees for years. On an especially hot 100+ F day, there was also a wildfire burning with smoke covering one of my neighborhoods, I has finished a 12 hour shift in a dilapidated LLV that management refused to have fixed correctly... that's another story for another day. Anyways, the next day I had a migraine and could hardly see or stand. I called in using the automated line. In my sickened state I slept all day. The next morning I saw I had a missed call from the office and a voicemail from a manager demanding I better had a sick note from a doctor or will be fired. First of all, they can't legally do that. Second, I was still too sick to care, but I went to urgent care anyways. I was treated for heatstroke. there was an investigative interview And I was disciplined. I was told me they thought that because I was upset at a coworker whom kept purposefully damaging my customers packages over something petty... repeatedly and after telling management about it... repeatedly , and they did nothing to correct the situation, that I was upset and petty enough to call in sick. They then demanded to see my phone to they could prove I was called the day of. I refused, I was then asked how the other party should be disciplined for their transgressions. I said it was none of my business how he is disciplined, and Joel the Postmaster told me that he was letting the other coworker decide my discipline. So I was made a scapegoat.
The sheer incompetency of these managers at the Bozeman Montana Post Office and disgusting inhumane way they treat other people and their coworkers, they have ruined lives on purpose, they are petty and sinful. Shame Shame Shame. Disgusting level of humanity
@@BedrosJenkinsYeah, I’d say 95% of management believe they have a slave labor force that they can do as they want. Rather than fixing the situation and accepting that they are to blame to be better they find loopholes to continue to blame the employee.

I left the carrier craft in Jan of 1996 and worked Maintenance in the Post Office for 27 years. I left before the carrier craft got 100% worse. No way I could make it to retirement if I was still a carrier.

I’m currently in the process of being hired as a new cca. Let the hours rack baby. I’m here for the long term. I got kids to provide for. I want my babies to not have to struggle like I did growing up.
Not enough worker bees, too much management . I’ve been working my day off for several months now. The USPS has NOT been hiring aggressively! The hiring process is broken and they won’t fix it!
I’m SO glad that that woman is not getting her mail. Big house like that with a micro mailbox door slot + a screen door + And it’s a corner house…. ANNOYINGGGG
I worked at the post office, and it was the worst experience of my life. It was at the height of the pandemic. I hate the USPS so much they humiliated me. They gaslighted me. I would spend days crying while in the truck I hate them so much. if I had my way, the post office will be shut down and start over. I’ll enter any postal managers that are reading this start acting better to your employees or karma is going to bite you in the ass!
I only lasted about 90 days at the post office. I worked 7 or 8 days in a row with only one day off in between and the shifts were up to 14 hours. I ended up quitting because it was just too much. Ends up being so much overtime that they take most of it in taxes and you feel like you wasted your time.
In oakland California u lucky if you get mail once a month. I reported it and was cuss out by the supervisor at the station. Really bad in the black community. Called the postal inspector still nothing done. 😮
I’m a cca. Been working little over a year and love the overtime and especially the 12 hrs day because it’s a penalty so the pay is double especially when I work 7 days in a work week. Keep those OT and penalty coming. I love it.
Incoming blown out backs, shoulders, vertigo, Heat strokes, constant migraines, knee issues, etc etc. A lot of people think this way initially but everyone has a limit and when you continue your health eventually knocks you on your ass. That’s when you start to question why you did all that? Then management continues to slave you because you put out too much, despite your health. You come back with health restrictions, management will eventually find a loophole to still slave you. You go to the union, they’re bribed and/ or weak because of management infiltration. You were the best worker and now you find yourself to be a scapegoat who suddenly couldn’t handle the job. But hey keep it up…
And all the detrimental effects to you body while being a postal worker are “coming” along with that OT and penalty pay you so desire! All money isn’t good money! I’d rather have my health as my wealth any day over penalty pay. What good will penalty overtime be if your mental and physical health isn’t good to be able to spend it!?! Most newbies love overtime and penalty until the sciatica, pinched nerve(s), and varicose vein leg pains start to kick in as the real benefits of working for a sinking postal service!
It’s not that they’re not doing enough to hire new people, it’s that they(from the MPOO/POOM, the PM, and management) aren’t doing enough to keep/retain the new postal workers. The entire postal service country wide have a new employee retention issue and one of the problems is the 90/120 day probation period is used to fire new carriers for being to slow at their routes. And the CCA(city carrier associates training is completely insufficient when in comparison to the training the RCA (rural carrier associates) receive, then theirs the issues with stagnating low pay for what the job really requires and the fact of being hired as a federal employee but not with career status til one or two years.
Think about it 12 hour days 5-6 days a week. Yes you do make a lot of money but is it worth it? I gave them 10 years of my life and I quit. I miss it sometimes. The carriers the people you get to meet. But management is the problem. The pay for new hires is not enough to keep people working there. I did it for 10. I saw many people quit the first day or the first week. I quit after my son was born. I never got see him. I only saw him 30 minutes in the morning and by the time I got home he was in bed.
i've had a lot of horrible jobs. usps was the worst by faaaaaar. horrible horrible people no matter WHERE you do this job, it turns people into scumbags. lol i just looked at the usps youtube page, every video they put up has comments off.. there's a reason for that.
I really hate that Amazon and other companies are now using USPS because they don't take pictures, they don't provide accurate tracking info and often times lose your packages all together. They'll scan your package as delivered and it won't show up until 2 days later or not at all. And once it's scanned as delivered, it's your word against the carrier...even though they delivered to the wrong house or kept it for themselves.
Union doesn’t do shit. It’s the same story for all unions no matter the job. Eventually union reps are bribed by management or get involved sexually with management. Hence the cycle of not doing a damn thing begins. Union works best if third party, not first party like Usps it’s a joke!
I work every Sunday allot of times two three weeks until I have to call for a day off myself Sundays are until 9 with Amazon packages the routes have been split up to where you have no mail vehicles you have to beat up your own car when your done with your portion your sent to help others until 9 pm at night 365 days a year Christmas Eve I requested off cause it’s on a Sunday this year two months in advance and it was declined
Yes working for the USPS is hard work (been here 25 years). Hard work is not what the strawberry generation can handle. So they quit; -that's too bad because in the long run its a darn good Federal job with union protection, job security and good health benefits. Many of those who quit will go private sector jobs where they'll be let go in their early 50's.
Lol,what post office your at? I'm on a route that requires 3 carriers yet they want me to make 4 trips by myself with a Mercedes van for 18 hours of work.
I mean who would want to go work for the post office and make less than $20 an hour and have zero benefits. The only way you can even make a living there is if you become what they refer to as a career employee which at that point you make $24 an hour and get shitty benefits. Not to mention the pension is absolute trash. With all that being said, you also work six days a week and your average day is anywhere from 8 to 12 hour days. Yeah no wonder nobody wants to work for the post office.
@@HarambetheWhite I was about to say the same thing,lol, idk where he got that info from because it’s wrong. It’s always someone on the outside thinking they know what goes on in a place they’ve never worked at.
The service has gone down hill. That’s mainly most of the letter carriers can’t be trusted anymore and they don’t care about the service they provide. Their I think they have become lazy and have not pride anymore.
Please go work with the highest pride and work ethic… see how it goes after a month, several months, year/s. Everyone’s limit is eventually reach and unless you become part of the clique or asskissing crew you’re done.
The carriers are hired as CCA's. They start them out at 16-17 dollars an hour with no benefits. They are lower quality carriers. Less routes with more stops. Carriers are being watched on the street by GPS. That's why they don't want to do the job.
Sometimes don’t just blame the mgmt , everywhere is hiring , just a matter people nowadays don’t want to work Target , Macdonald, in & out they been try to hire , I work as a Usps carrier too , I have long hours everyday 10-12 but it is what it is , overtime money is sweet ,
Sciatica nerve pain, broken veins, pinched nerves, and the mental toll are all not so sweet as well! Trust, your health will not be so sweet to spend any of that overtime money you so desire. Ppl like yourself is the reason management in postal service have no integrity. They know newbies like you who are ill-educated on the postal service are too blinded by the dollar sign in your eyes to see long term the detrimental effects of carrying or processing mail. They know that the pay wage is the most ppl like you have made in your life and that you’ll be eager to work the overtime without informing you that the real benefits of the job is a broken down body leading to physical and mental health problems! Keep doing your overtime; you may not have the wealth of a healthy body long enough to enjoy it at the expense of the post office!

@@HarambetheWhite I was about to say the same thing,lol, idk where he got that info from because it’s wrong. It’s always someone on the outside thinking they know what goes on in a place they’ve never worked at.
This man truck is empty and he’s complaining lol?
You went there for a job. They hired you for that job. Now do the job you was hired to do.
You went to public school. You didn't learn a damn thing. Please learn to speak properly.
Go and apply...its a tough job
@@lilsamantha1 its not for the weak
obviously you've never worked for The United States Postal Service
@@qtube173 Mainah cant even do 3 loops around his own block...and he is over here talking ish 😂😂😂
The service has gone down hill. That’s mainly most of the letter carriers can’t be trusted anymore and they don’t care about the service they provide. Their I think they have become lazy and have not pride anymore.
Please go work with the highest pride and work ethic… see how it goes after a month, several months, year/s.
Everyone’s limit is eventually reach and unless you become part of the clique or asskissing crew you’re done.
The carriers are hired as CCA's. They start them out at 16-17 dollars an hour with no benefits. They are lower quality carriers. Less routes with more stops. Carriers are being watched on the street by GPS. That's why they don't want to do the job.
Call all usps workers do this. We been getting played financially. They are not aggressively recruiting cause they cannot keep anyone
Turnover rate with CCA's is well over 50 percent. They quit as fast as they hire them.
Sometimes don’t just blame the mgmt , everywhere is hiring , just a matter people nowadays don’t want to work
Target , Macdonald, in & out they been try to hire ,
I work as a Usps carrier too , I have long hours everyday 10-12 but it is what it is , overtime money is sweet ,
Sciatica nerve pain, broken veins, pinched nerves, and the mental toll are all not so sweet as well! Trust, your health will not be so sweet to spend any of that overtime money you so desire. Ppl like yourself is the reason management in postal service have no integrity. They know newbies like you who are ill-educated on the postal service are too blinded by the dollar sign in your eyes to see long term the detrimental effects of carrying or processing mail. They know that the pay wage is the most ppl like you have made in your life and that you’ll be eager to work the overtime without informing you that the real benefits of the job is a broken down body leading to physical and mental health problems! Keep doing your overtime; you may not have the wealth of a healthy body long enough to enjoy it at the expense of the post office!
In oakland California u lucky if you get mail once a month. I reported it and was cuss out by the supervisor at the station. Really bad in the black community. Called the postal inspector still nothing done. 😮
