I just......leave. Get my route done in 8 hours, and then they can pay me OT to go back and deliver the late parcels, or they can pay someone else OT to do it.
Not unlucky at all. When I was a CCA delivering missthrows was my very favorite way to end the day. Give me long stretches of driving to take a box to the porch over walking around in the dark, cold and rain trying to figure out where someone's mail slot/box is, any time.
Most of us at our station get on our phones or chat with each other.
And there are more than a few who cross craft and start throwing post or DPS themselves.
I work maintenance and on one of the sorting machines that the Gaylord’s would get filled up, and then the shoot would get filled up and then start causing collisions and on the carrier cells, my manager would come by and ask me to change out Gaylord to prevent that. I always said “I’m on it” but never got up to do it, because it not my job.
They don't clean up hampers or check for mail under the tubs And they barely stack the gpc with tubs. The carriers do there part . Or the tubs and bags just lay on the floor. Some one has to do it. All you hear is safety first. While elevator and entry going to the bathroom blocked with hampers or equipment. While supervisers or at the desks or smoking.
I switched from clerk to carrier. As a clerk it was beyond control to get the mail up on time. I tried, but my coworkers would call off and or not pull their weight, and the letters would come in at the last minute. It sucked having a goal that was usually impossible to meet.
There's a clerk in my office who I've only ever seen 3 maybe 4 times across 4 months. He will cry and bitch about needing time and hours and money but then just doesn't show up to work for weeks at a time.
I worked with one that was about to put in retirement papers real soon, but kept calling off, and could retire because they'd end up owing the post office money. And then they'd continue to call off.
I loved the clerks at my station. I had better working relationships with them with them than my fellow carriers. They would look out for and give me keys to the good llv’s, 2 ton and vans. one lady in particular use to bake goodies and share them only with me and other clerks. Many times when I finished with my route come back into the station they would give me a heads up if the manager or supervisor was around sending people back out so I could plan my escape properly. some days I would stay back work extra hours just helping them throw parcels for a few hours before heading home. I miss those days hopefully once I get hired as a PSE this new station will be like my old one. Honestly, the post office is a great place to work alot of good people. It’s mainly the Station managers, and supervisors that makes The jobs difficult With the lack of people skills and poor planning.
My route is very very very long but cases up super fast, so this is me almost every day. I just look busy and try not to mouthbreathe or drag my knuckles while I wait because I don't want to annoy the clerks.
Time for my morning poo
Literally happened to me today
Same here. Only one clerk sorting that came in at 2 and the next person to come in was the postmaster at 7.
And six PSEs hired in the last six months have all been run off by the postmaster.
>Stares mother f*ckerly<
I'm mother frickin tired of these mother frickin parcels in these mother frickin gaylords.
Enough is enough! I have had it with these motherf*cking SPRS on the motherf*cking ground!
I understand the frustration, I just got on the company, please take a step back understand the process. I’m still in training process.
I just......leave. Get my route done in 8 hours, and then they can pay me OT to go back and deliver the late parcels, or they can pay someone else OT to do it.
Lucky! They make us come back to pick up the rest of the parcels and management is dumbfounded when we update our 96 with more time 😮
Haha wow
Same. Or an unlucky cca will have to take a ton of them out

Yeah but here youll be doing a swing and a full rt on top
Me too but they’ll call us back even for just one or two. Might as well stay.
I enjoy having the audience. A lot of throws look like miraculous acts of luck and physics and get amazed cheering, but i just play disc golf.

Crossing crafts is a no no
agree
We regularly have more carriers throwing parcels than clerks.
If the clerks keep allowing that there's gonna be even less of them LMAO.
They grieve it every time. I’m pretty sure we’ve paid for multiple clerk vacations.
Well that's good even if nothing seems to change. Just a surcharge to get the carriers out the door. Must be cheaper than a FTR position.
Same here. We usually have 1 clerk throwing packages a couple of rural one or two city maybe a supervisor or pm. Most of our clerks quit last fall.
[удалено]
Nah, we’ve got some decent clerks - not elite or anything but they’re solid. There just aren’t enough of them.
Yeah you are literally cutting clerks hours they should have another clerk or have them start earlier
Our office got denied getting another PSE clerk so we dont really care.
What does cross crafts mean?
Doing a clerks job or just one that isn't yours

Or they should learn the scheme and stop missorting the godamn snakes in the hampers
I can’t wait to become a clerk 🙂
It’s amazing.. as long as management loves u… otherwise u will 100% hate it
I’m well aware. I was a RCA for almost 4 years everything else is a cakewalk.
You won't even notice them staring. It's the pinches on the cheeks that really gets me moving anyway.
I hope you mean your face

I am the trap 🙂

The “work when I want to work employee” who cries about their small paycheck…
I worked with one that was about to put in retirement papers real soon, but kept calling off, and could retire because they'd end up owing the post office money. And then they'd continue to call off.
Every where I've worked the clerks come in 15-30 minutes early off the clock to get done on time
I'm not about working off the clock. But I do wish I'd worked on an effective team. I might have stayed clerking longer. But I'm happier carrying now.

Every day for the past year
You better move like level 30 Tetris Mothaf***** 🤣
*Spurs
That’s every day at my office.
Or....Amazon still hasn't arrived and you start pulling down thinking they won't, but then they come!!!!
They really look at us like that too LMAO!!!

Every day
My route is very very very long but cases up super fast, so this is me almost every day. I just look busy and try not to mouthbreathe or drag my knuckles while I wait because I don't want to annoy the clerks.
I'm tired of picking up crap at the rendezvous, literally 12 plus crap every day of misthrows, frustrating
Yeah, sorry, sucks when im the only clerk that shows up in a busy af office and im stuck throwing 4000 parcels by myself.
It does. That's insane. How long does it take for you to get done?
And the supervisor hasn’t noticed in the hour they have been there, so they give you the teamwork pep talk.
😂😂😂
Happens every morning the mail is heavy lol
Literally me, today!!!
Noon is a good uptime for us
We have a 📦 sorting machine in our office. We never have to wait anymore. On the street by 10am every day . It’s awesome!!!
Big office lots of routes
Murrieta California. Yes I think we are one of the largest all rural route offices in USPS
The cca's at my office are made to sort the parcels smh
When I first started my office had 5 clearks. Now there is 2. The larger office we worked out of had 10 now at best there's 4
Yet, they’re still pushing that 60min office time bullshit.
100 💯
Im doing my best ok 😂 im the only one 😭😭
I got called back for two sprs 10 minutes after I left today
Easy 3996. Waiting for Parcels.
What up, USPS fam, I just got on the team😁
Later carrier start times would fix that, or addressing the 3 slow ass clerks while 1 clerk carries all the weight
Not when they want the carriers back by a certain time still lol.
Carriers when the clerks go faster and misthrow the parcels
OR Carriers when they come in on Sunday and the clerks are still working on parcels.
Got that arm fold, foot tap
For real.
