Anyone forced to go to another station?

PostalServiceEmployeeNewman · Mar 14, 2020

Twice they were thinking about sending me out. And the one today was over an hour drive to get there.
I got things to do when i get back from my route than to have to worry about another offices problems.

If i ever do go to one of the other stations, i will make sure that they will never want me back lmmfao

They do it all the time here with RCA's under our APO umbrella.

Are you querying about offices not under the APO umbrella and the new 50 mile contract wording?

Practice with me - "no" "no" "no", or my favorite "hell no".

They won't address an RCA shortage by firing one. Even they aren't that dumb....I think.

My PM and POOM would. We have a full compliment of RCA's so to get rid of a couple wouldn't bother the PM in the least.

My HCR PM asked if I anted to go 105 miles away at 58 cents per mile to do an aux route....about 6 hours.

Of course no hourly pay for travel time.

They really have no clue!
I bet you said yes, please sign me up for that gig, I'll travel two hours each direction for 6 hours pay!
That would be about a ten hour day for just over $100,
$10 per hour who could refuse that!

So not everywhere is hurting for subs? I thought it was nearly universal.

Only 58 cents AND no hourly pay for travel!?!? That was going to be my next question. If they included the time to drive there as work hours.

Wow......full complement of subs! Haven't heard that in a while. Curious as to what region you are located? If you care to answer.

Nope...so basically for a 6 hour route...IF I completed it in evaluated time....doubtful at least 1st day.....I would work 11 hours including the travel time and be paid $111.36 taxable wage (6 x $18.56). Then 246 miles x .58 =$142.68 travel / ema + whatever ema route mileage is.

We all know that .72 mile is woeful, just think about .58 cents per mile driving through the mountains. Meanwhile, thank you for taking 5 hours of your own time.

How anyone, even a PM sucked into the Postal Mash can think this is a good idea, have to be out of their mind.

But if youcare traveling to a other office, you get paid your actual hours because youve never been trained on it. No?

1st day only, actual hours on route, I believe if you've never done it or it's been a year. As far as travel time in the car, I'm 99% sure that is a no go.

I didn't take them up on this offer, btw.
