Who here has worked for the postal service (srs)

[H00J]

Or know anyone that has


Thinking about it

Mainly because it’s basically getting paid to do my cardio daily and never worry about watching what I eat because walking 12 miles is basically a cheat code to eat pizza and ****


Half of youtube says it’s worth it other half says to stay away

The usps subreddit is basically 95% anti usps (gee I wonder why)

4 ur time

[OptimusTrajan]

I did, but in a distribution center during college.

Night shift was ok, but days made me want to kill myself srs.

[8pieces]

don't usps workers work 12+ hours a day. fkk that

[H00J]

Yeah starters have to put in the work

Long ass days 6 days
Some say they work 7 (can anyone confirm?)

Until they make “regular “ and they have a set 40 hours and a dedicated route and they say you’ve pretty much made it at that point and ur pretty much safe from losing your job

[ThatGuy950]

Worked UPS warehouse in HS senior year, closest I’ve been but it was pretty intense

What’s your current career boyo?

[Swept]

If you want no life and need money go for it. 6 days a week 12 hour shifts, different route every other day

I did a fairly lengthy consultancy with our postal service more than a decade ago

Basically it involved building a specific kind of economic model that predicted at what point they would be losing money based on the price of a postage stamp for various specifications of a universal service obligation

Just went to the USPS subreddit mentioned in the OP and immediately remembered why I do not go on Reddit.

I wonder who works at these lonely post offices in these tiny towns in the middle of nowhere.

Do they just hire a local? Its hard to get a job at the post office so they would have to have a pool of candidates and hire the right one just from that tiny town?

Or is there some poor bastard who lives like 100 miles away who has to drive some lonely road in the middle of the night to get to the post office to sit there all by himself all day and maybe sell a stamp or two to some old lady.

Then you have to think someone has to deliver the mail there then someone has to receive mail in the middle of the night. Are there 3 people who have to do this in these lonely places?

[SirFapsAIot]

I don't think they'd hire you, as a dwarf you won't be able to reach most mail boxes. Sorry lil' guy.

One of these days the only form of communication left will be a postal service, could happen at any time with a power grid black out

[xxAchillesxx]

Had a friend who worked there for a short while before quitting. He said he now totally understood the term "going postal".

[FoulSmell]

My Uncle did. Never complained about. 25 years and out with pension.

[digital022]

They pay chit wages. Hard to get fired though, I suppose.

[MonkeyNutss]

Getting strong Andrew Tate vibes from this thread.

OP show us your face.

Got the job, never took it. Was too addicted to alcohol at that time in my life and would interfere with my drinking schedule, lol
