Interesting perspective
Quit but regret it.
Can you elaborate?
I believe once you’re done. You’re done.
But they say the fast track hiring is a quick hire, ie 3 weeks vs 3 months, not sure if they’d wave the REACT or LLV training, probably depends on circumstances and who you actually hire back with..... obviously must be a posting to actually apply to, and usually They like peeps they don’t have to train..

If you resigned in good standing and gave two weeks notice, you should be able to reapply.

I'm pretty sure that you could be hired back at a different office. However, you may have to go through the whole process again.
I heard a rumor or maybe read it here that district is doing the hiring now and the postmasters don't have much say anymore. But I dunno.
If it's been less than XX many days, they may fast-track you into the new office. (At least that would make sense to me)
I heard the new RCAs at my office haven't even been to academy/training. Unconfirmed, but what I was told.

I’m sorry someone wasn’t there to help..
Heavy volume routes are not for fainted hearted, lol but neither is the rural carrier job.... when learning, best to give yourself a LOT of grace and know we all make mistakes and we all sometimes dump trays and we all sometimes just have bad days... I’ve known several people to quit and come back, so it happens

Any office in need would take you in a heart beat, it would save them the cost of training pay. Go to those offices you are interested in and ask. You may be able to stop the resignation paper work before too long so they won't make you go through the whole new employee process again.

Because you have to spend all your work hours inside with management jerks.

we had an rca that was told she was going to be fired, and she asked if she could resign instead, as she thought it would look better on her résumé . two weeks later, she was working in a po, about 200 miles away. apparently, no problem.
I was thinking about that. I feel like I would be good at that, more my style I suppose. In that case, I would have to go thru orientation again I’m assuming
A friend of mine was trying to get rehired as an RCA after being a CCA, yeah, I know why would you want to do that.
He told me the whole process of hiring was all online and NO in person interview. Of course, he still had the drug test, background check and finger printing.

Might not have been possible - can an RCA with less than a year transfer?
To Snooze024: I agree with others who say to ask around - with all that's going on and the difficulty in hiring and retaining RCAs, you may get back in quickly.
muttleycrue et al -- "can an RCA with less than a year transfer? "
-- Yes. As long as the RCA has completed the probationary period of 90-work days. Would think RCA's are getting in their 90-work days these days before the one calendar year has passed. ( if only called in to run parcels for a couple of hours - that is a work day ). Just be sure to hang on to those pay stubs. And keep a record of the day / date / route worked -- not only helps keeping track of the 90-work days, but RCA's get ACTUAL TIME or evaluation ( whichever is greater ) when working a route for the first time in a year or more.
-- Article 30.2.F.1.
- A substitute, rural carrier associate, or rural carrier relief employee, who has completed the probationary period and then submits a written request for reassignment, may be reassigned from one office to another, provided a vacancy exists in the leave replacement ranks in the office to which reassignment is requested.
-- Step 4 ( P-115 ) in part:
- RCA Transfers -- RCAs who have completed their probationary period may request a transfer in accordance with Article 30.2.F. If the gaining office accepts the employee's request for transfer, the losing office MUST release the RCA. The transfer WILL be effective within 30 days of the notification to the losing office.
-- Caveat -- the grass may only seem greener on the other side of the fence.

there is a discussion in the Leave Replacements category about this resigning and coming back to work again you may want to check out.
As I said there, I think I recall seeing it in writing somewhere that if you have separated from USPS within one year of reapplying you can be rehired without going through every step of the clearances, etc. Your records could still be accessed and you could skip some of the stuff. Not sure how they may use that with the latest of several "revamps" of the hiring process in recent months and years, though. Worth asking about!

Yes, district is doing the hiring and the local postmaster has no say. If you have a pulse and can pass the background check, you are in. That being said, the quality of the new RCAs coming in was better when the postmaster had a say. Now we get one, spend a month or 2 on training, the academy, etc, only to have them quit or have to let them go because they just can't figure out how to do the job in a timely matter, even with a lot of help.
Yes they can, my sub joined my route in January this year, and in mid May, she transferred to an office 4 minutes from her home (my office is 40 minutes from her home).
However, she ended up loosing her 4 months worth of seniority, and is basically at ground zero seniority wise. In her new office, a new hired rca there started last month I think, and now has seniority over her....
But yes, you can transfer with less than a year.
