Last week while traveling about i passed a Post Office with a big Help Wanted sign out front. I thought this was so strange because I have never seen them look for employees this way before. Then today I had business at my local Post Office and they had a big sign out also
So the question is: Has anyone on here seen signs like this in your area?
Just read reviews on Indeed. They basically say you'll never see your family again because of the amount of hours you'll work.. Also, zero training seems to be another common theme. So the reviewers recommend it for quick money but not for long term health.
Yes, noticed earlier this week. We were intrigued, since we've never seen "help wanted" signs for the Post Office. Husband's instant response: "Maybe they're planning on lots of openings after all those arrests." Maybe.
Same here- 2 trucks at the same time - happened 3 days last week alone. I only noticed because I was home earlier all week. Who knows how long that’s been going on?!
Same. We get mail only every few days at times. Normally I welcome this because of junk mail, but when it's our livelihood it's concerning.
Also back in the day we only had 1 or 2 carriers. Now it's like a new person every other week. Not to mention they have 1 damn job. Match the number on the piece of mail with the address THAT IS CLEARLY MARKED, yet we still get random neighbor's mail ( no not next door, sometimes blocks away ) and our's ends up who knows where. This could be done by a 12 year old. It's bs and unacceptable.
Never seen a help wanted sign tho. That is desperate. I will confirm that everywhere both blue collar and white collar businesses have 1 thing in common nowadays. Labor issues.
Used to get the mail between 12:30 and 1:30. Now, I'm lucky if it comes by 4:00.
Half the time my mail carrier has to backtrack because they forgot to deliver someone's mail. The other half of the time, I've got someone else's mail in my box.
They hire a lot of contractors to deliver mail I belive.
I don’t think they were required to get it?? Along with all of Congress of course..
Their union stuck up for their workers,they were not required to take it.
Actually the union only took action after the jab mandate was well underway. My carrier took it and it is affecting her health, you can tell. I never ask her about it now since it is clear that she is taking more and more of her personal days off, and the new kids are totally flummoxed by delivering mail in Philly. We go and deliver the mail we get for other people and run into each other and say "Hi."
This may explain why it took 8 days to get an overnight letter from Tennessee to California.
Yep , our local post office has had one up for over a year.
Being a PTF(part time flexible) clerk means you will get 40+ hours per week. Being a carrier, whether a contract, rural route or city, means you will get done when the job is done. But, if you are low guy on the totem pole you will have to go back out to help a lame carrier or a route without a carrier assigned to it. You will make a lot of money but it will come at the cost of ten to twelve hour days. Any time over eight hours is time and a half. All time over ten hours is double time. So if you want to make a lot of money go work for the post office. Starting pay is around $20/hr. So if you work 12 hours in a day you can make up to $300/day. Not bad coin. But if you are a contract carrier the pay is a little less because you are bidding on how much you want to earn per day on that particular route. If you are interested go and talk to the postmaster of the office you are interest in working at. Talk is cheap but the money is pretty good,....for being a part time employee.
I talked to my mailman who told me the culture has really gone to hell and isn't what it used to be. The higher ups are diversity hires on a power-trip so people don't stick around at all.
They advertise for employment, but not “help wanted” at Emeryville, Ca., it’s at the eastern footage of the bay bridge.
Yes in New Jersey I just happened to see one the other day
It appears to be a sign of the times. In Philly the USPS required the jab and my carrier was worried about it but complied. Turns out the push back was in the works, if only she waited. The union said they would file an action of some kind. The USPS then made it voluntary, with great fanfare, like they were doing it all along, or thinking about it and came to a decision. No, many carriers have been hurt by this genocide jab.
Our USPS driver takes tequila shots on occasion with the neighbor in his truck while delivering the mail. Seen it many times. Government employees are so fucked up.
I have seen the signs in the Bismarck-Mandan, North Dakota area. Most notably they are at the Bismarck sorting center in the eastern part of the city.
