To start i am an rca with over 10 years of expierence. Left the post office in 2013 to raise a child and came back two years ago in oct 2017. I left the first time because of not having guaranteed days and not wanting to be fired for being unavaliable. Ffwd till 2 years ago i hired back into the po and transferred back to my original office that had new management. New supervisor said she would work with me since she was a new mom and understood not having daycare on call. Supervisor was promoted to post master last year and we received a new supervisor. Since than our office has not run smoothly. New supervisor doesn't no rural contract and has given a ton of employees a terrible time. This past veterans day i worked till 8 pm she changed my schedule sometime after 2pm when i left for route and 8 at night when i got back. I was scheduled for our aux rt starting time 1230. Then they moved me back to a big route. I told her it was too late at night to find a sitter i could work the original aux or be n.a.. Didn't end up working put in a slip saying i was unavailable due to not enough time to find childcare. The following day i received a voicemail stating there was a schedule change and to come in tommorow for a full route. Called back about trying to find daycare and my supervisor screamed at me over the phone
That i shouldn't have this job if i cant work on the spot and i told her about my agreement with postmaster and she said she was unaware . I was screamed at the whole conversation and another employee heard and when i called said employee they asked if that was me she was screaming at. I ended up working the day anyway sending children to daycare. i ended up picking my baby up that night and she came down with hand foot and mouth disease and double ear infections. Confirmed by pediatrician . i took 10 days off work with a note. Since there r no antibiotics for a viral infection and it says the incubation period was 7-10 days. I. Called in on a Friday evening and said i would call hotline. But wanted to give them a heads up. Management called me put me on speaker phone in there office 3 days later and both postmaster and supervisor lit into me about not being able to be back within 48 hours of antibiotics and how ridiculous it is to take 10 days off for. Demanded i bring a drs note in before i return for work. I told them i would try to find someone for the next day(Wednesday) to watch kids so i can bring it in since my child's contagious and we're not leaving the house. turned in dr note ,letter from childcare stating she cannot come back until bumps are gone, and a fact sheet daycare gave me from the cdc on the incubation period and when they can accept my child back to school. They called me 3 xs in 3 mins apart without leaving a message on that wednesday i had not made it in yet with the note. I felt harassed/stalked since they would not leave a massage. I ended up having another employee(my mom) turn my paperwork in. I know i shouldn't have but i felt belittled and harassed on 3 separate occasions over the past week. I did not have the energy in me for another fight with them. I was available to come back to work as of yesterday but not scheduled. im schedule to work this upcoming Saturday. At 1:00pm and they are giving away my primary route to another sub while the aux sub does her full and aux. I imagine im getting fired and im so upset since every call in has a dr note and i have never received a letter of warning. Just the verbal screaming at me about not being a sub if im not available at a moments notice .i contacted hr who gave me about 5 numbers to call each saying they held a diff position and the po. Not my union rep at all. Got ahold of a really nice letter carrier rep who gave. My reps info but thought she was out of district. I tried anyway still nothing called the president of the union He was going to call my union rep again said he. Couldnt do anything for me. Here i sit waiting for Saturday at 1 to come to be terminated. I do not agree with any of this do not want to have to give up my badge until its deemed by the union i did something wrong.. Im embarrassed that they put me on the schedule for everyone to see that i wlll most likely loose my job. Instead of privately calling me they scheduled me to be fired.
