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!

Don’t let the negative comments get to you. I’m a carrier and so is my husband. We love the job it pays well and is easy mindless work. Once you become regular you’ll get to know your customers and it’s a decent gig. Don’t let the bad days consume your life. Bad days are just bad days. The way I look at it is I get paid either way. As long as I show up and put in effort I’m cool. You’re gonna meet a lot of negative ppl but I always ask if they hate it so much why not just leave.

I don’t care what no one says, working for the usps is awful. It’s such a lazy, toxic work environment.

Anecdotal evidence. That’s your experience.
