End of the RCA as we know it

Sounds like something that was built from the heaviest pickings cut from other routes maybe?
No, its rt 1 and it is like all the other routes in our cluster....at least 8.6 / 90 miles with 3 out of the 5 being 9.2 and over 100 miles. The packages are very heavy save for one route.

Still, they finally poached an RCA from a large office 20 miles away...she started last eek....good for us...bad for the other office.
 
Nothing a couple hours working on the case wouldn't solve.

Still, the problem is the RCA position itself. See other statement about locl c store wages. Even BK is 14.00 to start and your biggest responsibility is to ask; "Would you like fries with that?"
Ahh, a mess. The Post Office is in arrogant denial that pay isn't the deciding factor for one to work overly hard and put up with employer BS at the same time.
 
Macungie PA just posted FOUR PTF positions - for one office. This is after Two were posted in May - both hires must have quit.

I'm thinking the entire district is short and the smaller rural offices outside the metros (Allentown, Phila) don't even have anyone to take over for the retiring Regulars. So they hire the PTFs to go regular in the small offices and then Use and Abuse them in the Large Urban POs where they can't find anyone willing to work for 17.78.

When chatting with my PM and mentioning the pay not being competitive enough for Allentown all she had to say was "Who would want to drive all the way down there and work...." - absolutely oblivious.

What's wrong is the lack of pay for the rca job! It's a bad situation on both coasts and high cost-of-living areas. NOT bad at all in the hinterlands
Yes, and mortgage or rent is the back breaker, not to mention taxes. Getting away from there to lower cost of living locales is easier said than done considering family and roots, but you shouldn't have to anyway and agree a geographic COLA is needed.

They are not lying..... after you become regular and you receive your bogus "what you really make pamphlet" which should really be re-named the worst case scenario for the USPS liability pamphlet bc this is what you could possibly cost us.... :ROFLMAO:
That's great! It starts with an earthquake,
Birds and snakes, an aeroplane;
Lenny Bruce is not afraid.

Eye of a hurricane, listen to yourself churn.
World serves its own needs, don't mis-serve your own needs.
Speed it up a notch, speed, grunt, no strength.
The ladder starts to clatter with fear of fight, down height.
Wire in a fire, represent the seven games
In a government for hire and a combat site.
Left her, wasn't coming in a hurry
With the furies breathing down your neck.

Team by team reporters baffled, trump, tethered crop.
Look at that low plane! Fine, then.
Uh oh, overflow, population, common group,
But it'll do. Save yourself, serve yourself.
World serves its own needs, listen to your heart bleed.
Tell me with the rapture and the rev-'rent in the right, right.
You vitriolic, patriotic, slam, fight, bright light;
Feeling pretty psyched.

It's the end of the world as we know it.
It's the end of the world as we know it.
It's the end of the world as we know it, and I feel fine.

District management doesn't help the situation. Constantly issues edicts that violate the contract and lay more free work at the feet of the workers. Union needs to put a stop to it with district wide grievances.

Every little office shouldn't need to document times, etc, then file their own grievances ! (But that's what happened with satchels. It's why some offices still carry them for free.)

Hmmm. Some offices don't even have them yet. Many, actually.
 
Low pay and in many places you have to provide a vehicle, the 2 main reasons people cannot be hired. In addition, how long is the process to be actually hired, a month ? Perhaps relative new hires on here can chime in on how long the hiring process takes??
