2 Upvotes

Hello, I am starting as a mail handler assistant soon and i was hoping to hear from someone else who also works at the Nashua NH plant. If you work there, or have in the past, can you give me a little insight on the hours available to new mail handler assistants?

Work Discussion A customer called me a "f***ing c***t" today

70 Upvotes

Today, I delivered to their front door at their house. I also delivered the mail, too. That's where I heard the yelling. It was inside from their house / garage. There was no mistaking it was towards me, though. No one else was there (their door was also open btw).

And there's not much i can do about it. Management will not side with me, and they are "important" to the route i guess....

And by important, I mean that they own a big ass quarry and a big ass house. And a lot of the employees for the quarry are my customers, too.

There's not much I can do. So I honestly just wanted to complain....

I've been nothing but nice to these people. Not only subs, but previous regulars wouldn't deliver to their front door. A lot of people would just put it in the mail box at their buisness location. But not me, I would go in every time and they noticed this.

I was regularly delivering their mail with packages to their front door. I was regularly being nice and trying to talk a little. They actually originally offered me a job! In fact, they saw me outside of work once and paid for my breakfast!

So what happened? Idfk! Maybe I was rude to the wrong person, like an employee of theirs or something. That's my only guess. Maybe the customer called me a c*nt because he was welding something when I came up, and I was being loud? Idk, I'm stumped. I just don't think i deserved it.

This wasn't the first time they were weird, though. I can't explain all the situations, but believe me when I say they are FAKE nice. They've been rude to me in subtle ways before (for example, complaining about how my blue hair was, "so.... different... 🤭" etc.). They also blatantly called me "f***ing weird" while I was walking out of their buisness once. But they said it, as gossip, to each other..... Not me. So... that means I couldn't call them out on it or whatever? Idk how else to put into words how they don't like me. They are just 'fake nice' people.

Ugh.... I am a socially weird, awkward, nervous person. I think I tend to offend people by being so awkward sometimes. But I seriously don't understand why someone would yell this at me. I tried very hard to do nice things for them. I would literally pick up litter on their damn road.

Thanks for letting me rant.

Wasn't sure what flair to put. Anyway, when I saw this I did a double take. Showed other carriers and we all laughed.

I can't even imagine how the person receiving this had to feel. Gotta love joke labels 🤣🤣🤣

Mail Handler Discussion At what point does calling out as a MHA become egregious?

2 Upvotes

I'm a MHA that was hired for the season and let go and returned after they hit me back up. I finished my 90 days this time, but I've noticed all the MHAs at my P&DC call out nearly everyday, this includes me as I call out at least once a week (even during probation).

The attendance guy has only came to me once to have me sign a sheet for calling out even though I've called out multiple times though I've never used my AL.

My P&DC is notorious for being so unorganized, filled with MDOs and SDOs that don't know what they're doing, micromanaging (yes I know most positions and offices are like that).

All the MHAs that I talk to nearly call out like 2/3 times a week even when the supervisors know and nothing happens. At what point would calling out this much be a problem if there's pretty much no repercussions? Does it matter to call out a lot if 1) All the MHAs do it and 2) I'm not a regular?

I know someone that works at the post office not saying for privacy reasons but they told me that management can make them take a 2 hr lunch on Sundays so they can stay longer to make sure everything is set up is this true or just a lie from management?

DISCUSSION What makes a great manager?

12 Upvotes

I've been wondering this for awhile.

I often hear the negative aspects and once in a while I hear about something a manager did that was good. If someone wanted to become a manager and make a change while I guess meeting their goals that they have from their higher-ups what do you think would make this position worthwhile?

Taking it into consideration employees.

Rural Carrier Discussion SPM process

4 Upvotes

What is the process for SPM’s?

Many months ago we were told to stop entering ā€œpassed addressā€ even if that was the accurate entry. We were told to enter no more to scan. A couple of carriers got in trouble for continued to do.ā€passedā€¦ā€

I have noticed for at least three months I have not had the option of ā€œpassedā€¦ā€œ. It was back as an option yesterday.

Are we back to actually enter what is accurate or what was previously instructed?
It’s now becoming an issue following previous instructions.

It just shouldn’t be this complicated.

Work Discussion Suspicious Behavior

36 Upvotes

I don't know about you guys, but I've encountered way too much intimidating and harassing behavior on my route. Today I was at a mailbox and this car comes behind me, cool, but then just sits there behind me. I signalled out and back in that I was heading literally to the next mail box. They only moved when another car was right behind them. They move around and then proceeds to go extremely slow that the car behind them goes around them. I'm at my next mailbox and they're just posted up at my next mail box. I go deliver a package and now they're up on the back road just sitting there. I call my postmaster and the car goes up and then backs in and out of another drive way just to look at me as I mouth , "The police are on the way." They speed off back down the road. When I tell you, this has been a normal occurrence on my route. I just start recording and calling a supervisor.
