Hi guys,
Long time since I have been here. I have a question for you. Do people really want to work anymore? I
work at the Post Office and have for17 yrs. I supervise
on the weekends when the head honcho is gone. I have been having troble with this one lady(I use that
term loosleyhere) she shows up for work a half hour earyl every week end. This would not be a big deal but
we don't even have our truck there to unload when she shows up most of the time hence nat a dam thing for her to do. THen she starts whining how she has better things to do with her weekend then be at work all
day. SHe was hired to be a sub for a rural carrier and the only day she was hired to work was Sat. ANyway
long story short she got told not to show up until her
scheduled start time which is 7:30. Every frig Sat she shows up early it is like watching a little kid. THis week end took the cake We had heavey mail so I told the
carriers how the new boss wanted delivery done. I just
had to have a meeting with the boss again about miss
pain in my butt. Boss saw she was punching in early again. I had something other then babysitting to do
last Sat. THey were told if mail is heavey you need to take more of your mail to the street to deliver and not
spend so much time in the building. Mail now come in
delivery sequence so they can take it out and deliver
without sorting it. Anyway the complainig started we
can do that it is not safe. THe whole dam district does it and also half the otrher carriers in the building do it.
It went down hill from there. Every weekend she is
bitching she won't make it back for the truck that picks up the mail. SHe is under the mistaken idea that if she gets back late I am coming in when I am no longer scheduled to work to take her dam mail 1 1/2 hrs from here to drop off???? WHere the hell has doing a good job and being responsible for your self went? ANd she is 50 some years old so we are not talking some kid here. If you don't want your job then get the hell out and let someone else have it. THe Post Office is becoinga joke anymore or it is just our Distrct. I got told
yesturedaythat for vacations this year our city carriers
can't take off unless it is their scheduled weekend off.
Meaning they each get every other weekend off. SO you have to pick vacation only when it is your weekend off. I think the Postal service is trying to get rid of the
unions. ALot of the stuff we have been hearing lately
sure sounds that way. We are going broke blah,
blah. THey all still got their bonuses this year so things can't be to tough. ANyway I am beginning to think that
I should start looking for a new job. I now the economy is bad but when I get back from the assignment they have me on I might only get SAt.
A whoe whopping 5 hours a week and then to have to
take the shit the employees are starting to hand out it is not worth it. I think my biggest mistake was that I
have always tried to help them out and make things
as easy for them as possible. I guess I should have been a bitch like our new boss and then they would have liked it better. Oh yes and since I wrote up the two employees that were giving me so much crap
yestureday I called the boss to ask which report to
file she told me that I brought it upon myself becasue
I have always let them do what they wanted and now I suddenly think I can boss them around. I told her I
don't get paid for babysitting they are grown people
and should be responsible for themselves. COme on here they have all been there for over seven years.
THey don't know there job by now? I never wanted to
be the superviser Ijust got told I was going to do it.
THe one funny thing though I can Supervise during the
week and in other offices where evryone acts like a
responsible adult and have no problems??? I guess
I only have a problem with lazy jerks that think they should get paid just for showing up.
