Talkin About The Post Office........
usps tracking is the worst too.
The worst thing that USPS ever did was offer tracking. It's not in real time, the data is usually many hours old. Often, it's not even the actual package.
The package is tossed into a massive APC, the package is scanned into that. The APC goes on to the next facility, the package is removed and not scanned. The APC goes on to the next facility, and it appears that the package is still moving when it's actually an APC moving. This could go on for several stops before the actual package is scanned in at the 1st facility and on it's way out to another.
Then there's Amazon. That's a goat screw all by itself. Overburdens all of the system and given priority.
I have also seen management scan entire APC's of parcels as out for delivery when they curtailed everything. A few hours later, they'll turn all of those into no access scans. They do that to stop the clock on the scans.
I agree overall. But out here where we are, the PO neglects our rural carriers terribly. They need a lot of help.
That's the biggest (not the only) reason I got out. Got sick of being mandated in on my days off. Told I had to carry my route and get back in to be mandated to carry half of another route. Being sent to other offices to carry a route on a Sunday that hasn't been touched for days. I had a 93 hour work week once, followed by a 75 hour week the next week. I literally had to file a grievance to get a damn day off.
They hire new people and they get abused right from the start. Can't tell you how many people I saw quit on their 1st day. Just as many more bail within a week or two.
There is a reason people were going into post offices and shooting them up.
One of my best friends still carries, he was going thru a divorce (mostly because he was never home) and management didn't just push his buttons, they jumped up and down on them. Another carrier saw this and called the number they have set up for these things.
Some people showed up, took Erin off the route and had a sit down with him. They took him out of that office for a few weeks, put him on 40 hour restriction, and suggested to the supervisor that he should steer clear of Erin.
