Following orders = losing job?

I knew an RCA that was always booked up months ahead working at all sorts of different offices... carried around a calendar and wrote in when and where they were to work next... a real go-getter... I worked at a couple of different offices when I was a sub... the office you're working for takes care of putting in your time and so forth...
 
The MATRIX killed RCA out of office prostitution. They can accept to work for this other PIMP for X days but when it comes time they need to be loyal to their PIMP on the corners of APO & RMPO.

-- Dangerously assumed the two RCA's who came out to help you were also late getting back to the office.

-- Have you asked them to make a statement to the events of the day?

One of them walked in either right before I did or at the same time because he was wrapping up by the time I noticed he was there, and he was on city side and they usually just drop and go, this guy just had all my big parcels delivered and that was it

The other two, well.. the other 2 RCAs (one of which I still haven't even seen) weren't employed at the office I work at so they either just did a hit and run or I made it back before they did. So yeah, I'd say that's a pretty safe assumption.

As far as getting them to make a statement, I haven't.

At this point I'm starting to believe they just won't call me back and let me sit until the end of time, I've already missed 4 days of work, including today.

I'm having trouble trying to figure out if I should take things into my own hands by trying to contact someone higher up or let my steward do everything, they seem confident in everything somehow managing to turn it into a class action.

I'd just like to know why most people in here think I'm safe yet I'm not past my 90 and could be fired for breathing.

Write a letter to Postmaster General Brennan, she had a video clearly stating about working with new hires. Go to the top and let it roll down, can't hurt to try. Union in our area will not help those subs in the 90-day probation. We are so short of subs no excuse for this. I know from our station management can't stand the constant phone calls, or having to look and find misdelivered parcels. etc. etc. etc. all these effects their bonuses and that is why they would rather kill the regular with 6 days, so they have a peaceful day while they dream of their bonus. Good Luck

This is exactly what I had done. If I wasn't working enough hours in my own office I would farm myself out throughout the area. At one point I had four guaranteed days per week, one in my own office, Amazon Sunday and one each in two other offices. I would carry a day planner and record the days that were requested in that. It takes a little organizational skills to maintain good relationship's with all offices involved by not double scheduling work days but it can be done. If I had a day available calls would be made to all the offices I supported to see if I could drum up another day. There were very few weeks that I didn't work at least 5 days! Over time I became proficient in 26 routes in 6 different offices and was always welcomed when offering my assistance.
 
My office tends to schedule me anywhere from 7-9 days in a row.

Still haven't received a call back on any of this.

Tried calling the PM about this but they're out on vacation until the beginning of next month.
 
I've managed to get a hold of the ADR and they said as far as me being inside of the 90 days their hands are tied. They said they need to make some phone calls and they'll get back to me. Doesn't sound or feel good at this point.
 
GiraffeAE86 -- " Doesn't sound or feel good at this point."

-- Okay, since you have some free time on your hands, might as well prepare for the worst -- being let go.

-- Keep writing down the events as they continue to happen. Fine tune, if possible, with more details of the "bad day".

-- IF you decide to try the USPS again, be up front in any interview why you have to try again. Take a copy of "bad day" events to explain.

-- If at a post office near your current post office, there is a good chance the "grape vine" as already aware of your manglement.

-- There is always the clerk and city side of post office workers.

-- Best not to "read" anything into the length of time the process is taking.
 
It feels like the longer it takes the worse of an outcome I should expect, but as I've heard with any sort of federal or government issues, the name of the game is hurry up and wait.

I'm on a "Hiring List" as far as the city side goes (I put in an app months ago) so I'm not exactly sure what that means. I got a letter saying my SF85 was bad and that's funny considering I changed absolutely nothing between both RCA and CCA applications. Nothing makes sense anymore lol.
 
So I called up there to ask and see what was up and was told I'd receive a call back by the end of the day, within 2 hours I got a call back and a voicemail. The phones were down and I couldn't get through by phone so I drove up there. Caught management on the way out and boy were they happy to see me. I just need to get through my 90 now. :censored:
 
Maybe after your 90 days you can transfer to an office close by with a better climate. You have a fantastic work ethic, but as you can tell that makes you a target for the emotionally immature. The union in my area helps sub under attack transfer. ?

Ok they were happy to SEE you, what did they SAY? We forgot about you, glad you are back, we were wrong, or something else?

-- At least it is promising that they didn't say "WHERE have you been for the past few days?"

-- Time to be a "turtle"! Do your job, keep your head down, and stay off manglement's radar.

-- Could take a long time to get your probationary period completed. ( 1 calendar year or 90 work days ( even if called in to help with parcels or to carry part of another route ). Keep a log at home of your work: day, date, what route, etc as manglement probably won't. And save those pay stubs!

-- When your probationary period has been completed, DO NOT make a big deal out of it. Stay off the radar!

-- One benefit of completing the probationary period -- the union CAN officially represent you. Of course, that is only as good as the office steward or the Assistant District Representative.
