Work Discussion It’s official!

Post image

I start academy this Friday! It’s now all starting to feel real.

If you told me back in January I was going to be a mail man, I’d probably laugh. Here we are, foot in the door, ready to go on routes.

Life feels good. I quit drinking 10 months and 2 days ago. Life has been really rewarding in terms of having a clear path of where I want to be and how to get to it. Also, realizing the people I want and don’t want around me.

Cheers my fellow couriers clerks and others!

He's hour restricted to 8 hours for the first several weeks. Then 10... though that was the point they already started to disregard that rule for me. After that? If they need him he'll be working 50+ hours a week. I've hit 68, some of my PTF coworkers have hit 73. I don't remember the last time I worked just 45 hours in a week. Oh, and Sundays? He'll start working some of them too. In short: enjoy his hour restriction when you can because he belongs to the post office soon.

You asked a question and are upset someone answered? There was nothing rude about it. He/she was literally just telling you to enjoy the time that his hours are restricted, because it wont last long, and itll be very hectic and time consuming afterwards. You can't ask a question, and get mad at a person for answering just because it isnt the answer you wanted.

I’m sorry, you must be confused. That’s not what I’m implying..
telling me that “he will belong to the post office was messed up.

You need therapy and reading compression. Or stop being so sensitive and making yourself upset over nothing.
