100% correct.Too many gravy train routes crying
Postmaster meeting- talk of the count being thrown out
- Thread starter RFD
- Start date
Are you in an Amazon Office? Not sure you should be comparing fast to slow carriers if you aren’t. Shouldn’t be a competition toPush Rrecs back another 5 years the only reason I can do my route in 4 hours is because I'm fast the reason the carriers in Amazon offices take 10 hours is because their slow.The current system is fair Rrecs will make my route go down
See how fast a Carrier gets done , but how accurate they are.
I think he was being ironic ;p

Harder to hide/hold a months worth of mail
Not only would the mail carrier be blowing up their spot but so would everyone late on bills 
No matter what happens a regular should be guaranteed 40 hours a week in five days...The union didn't think holding buffers was a good idea?? WTF?Push Rrecs back another 5 years the only reason I can do my route in 4 hours is because I'm fast the reason the carriers in Amazon offices take 10 hours is because their slow.The current system is fair Rrecs will make my route go down
Oh it's ok you are guaranteed 40 hours in six days until October so everything is fine...

Oh cool so you’ve seen your parcel data? You know for a fact that the USPS has been keeping accurate data even though they haven’t shared that with us?

good guess? that there is a stop/loss? ex: 5 hour loss or actual hours worked... ex: 5 hour gain or actual hours worked?

So you’ve been able to validate your data? You know that you are getting credit for every single parcel you delivered and you know if you’ve been given the appropriate credit for it? You’ve been able to ensure your park points haven’t moved? You know that you are getting true and accurate box coverage? You’ve been able to average 86ppm? You know that the plant has an accurate count on your flats?Too many gravy train routes crying
I have 800 stops on my route. When I left to start the route my supervisor pulled me aside and told me that in the computer it’s showing that I have only 13 parcels.
Well I have a guy who collects stamps and he gets a minimum of 5 registers a day. Not counting stamps that come as normal packages.
I’m supposed to trust that?
gosh, i miss that vampire.

I think something was wrong nationwide Saturday. Load Truck wasn't working, and my package Lookahead showed I had only 6 parcels. Heck I had one house that had that many alone.
Lots of people had the same issue.

Looks like rrecs will help in reducing work hours!

I would not be surprised at all if USPS is looking to lower rural hours by as much as 10%, and possibly more.... it could be bad.... we may soon know..... hold on to your wallet's folks....

10% of a 40k is 4.8 hours... 10% of a 45K is 5.4 hours....

There's some guy who posts a good bit here, and seems to know a good bit about this RRECS nonsense, and he says he's retiring soon after it's implemented..... js.... I haven't specifically asked how much RRECS has to do with that decision, but I'm guessing it's a factor....

I've seen some speculating it could be that high..... wasn't there a thread here saying 3-5 hour losses???? So, maybe they have a target.... maybe 10%.... who knows, all we can do at this point is guess and speculate....

IMO …. I could not agree more in that (on paper) they are trying to lower postal work hours…
I’m sure the vast majority of carriers on here have been a victim of the infamous “postal” math (more like lack there of) working against them in more ways then can be counted 
especially while being a RCA 
What about people that have been losing their grip for years delivering Free Amazon? Every day is eating them up.
Still, I feel USPS will find a way to squirm out of helping them.

They wonder why we are broke. Look at all the money being spent on the SD&C things knowing they may not work and on the vehicles, which that is at least needed and should have been done ages ago.
Maybe close some of these post office that should have been closed years ago. There is one in my district that the town has maybe 20 people and yet it still has post office, but town I live with 125 people doesn't have one and it was closed almost 35 years ago.
