Well I'm gonna go out on a limb here, since it appears that you don't seem to be the "injured employee in question". ( you would already have the answer to your question if you were ). My best guess is that you are the person who feels bent because this injured carrier is holding up your plans. Seriously, you ask this question not once, but twice on xmas day haha. So pathetic. Here's some good advice from my own personal experience as an injured carrier who has torn her shoulders FOUR TIMES on the job during her career.
First and foremost much to your disappointment their route is THEIRS for 2 years after an approved workplace injury so keep your pants on. The route will post when it's gonna post.
Secondly, minding your own business, and not behaving like a vulture on a piece of roadkill is in your best interest.
Lastly, don't be an idiot like one of my former RCA's was and tell the route customers that the regular returning to THEIR route is putting YOU out of a job. That behavior lacks social grace, and basically makes you look like a complete loser to not only the route customers, but your coworkers as well.
So quick summation- MYOB, and Merry Xmas

Here's my Workers' Comp story...
Been a few years ago... back in the days of PMRs...
Pm hires the new PMR and starts training her... real nice lady, brings in home baked cookies all the time, and is just as nice as she can be to everybody...
Only problem was she couldn't catch on to what she was supposed to do at the PO... <img title="Confused" alt="Confused" src="https://www.ruralmailtalk.ruralinfo.net/wp-content/sp-resources/forum-smileys/sf-confused.gif" />
So anyways, the PM has already given her WAY more hours than normal, and she's still not getting it... PM confides in me, he thinks he's gonna have to fire her, but he thinks he needs to at least get her to the point where she works by herself a time or two...
So, the day finally comes that she's FINALLY scheduled to work alone on a Saturday, and what's she do... calls in sick on Friday, and tell the PM she has pulled a muscle in her back from training a few days earlier...
So, the PM is PISSED now, not only does he have to work the next day, but he has to start filling out all of the on-the-job injury paperwork and other nonsense required by the PO...
Anyway, he starts raising a little hail with this new PMR, and the next thing you know , between her doctor, and the lawyer she's now hired, she's drawing Workers' Comp... <img title="Surprised" alt="Surprised" src="https://www.ruralmailtalk.ruralinfo.net/wp-content/sp-resources/forum-smileys/sf-surprised.gif" />
Dragged it out for years, and in the mean time, they couldn't hire another PMR... finally they had to send under-cover postal inspectors to video her doing stuff to prove that she really didn't have a back injury to finally get her off disability WC and get rid of her...
So, it can drag on for quite a while... <img title="Frown" alt="Frown" src="https://www.ruralmailtalk.ruralinfo.net/wp-content/sp-resources/forum-smileys/sf-frown.gif" />

Shafted ....if you are tired of the same questions from those who don't know and are looking for answers...then don't reply and/ or don't get on line. If someone wants to try and plan their future they have every right to look ahead at some options. If your a regular and set good for you. I think your negative response could these days be considered on line bullying.
Reminds me of what Grandma used to say " If you don't have anything nice to say .....
Merry Christmas

This reminds me of my office. The clerks or management will do something and have all the carriers going against each other. Example, during the OT period people were being sent home and being forced to write down breaks for things like talking at another case and whatnot, so carriers told on other people for smoking and looking at their phone while loading.

Well, first and foremost, your guess is WRONG.
And your assumptions about me being pathetic, a vulture, an idiot, and a loser are not only baseless but PRE-JUDGMENTAL as well!
You do not know any S**T about me.
Truth to tell, I HAVE A ROUTE THAT I LOVE SO MUCH and in no way, interested in the route in question.
The injured person is a very good friend of mine and is one of the best carriers I have learned a lot from.
But lately, there has been a lot of rumors about the route getting posted soon; thus, I came to the forum to seek for ENLIGHTENMENT.
Then here you are, acting so all-knowing and condescending - even talking about something ("social grace") you obviously don't possess. DUH?!?!
If you can't say anything nice and decent, just shut the hell up.
Oh, and don't get naked and shoot your supervisor !

You must be out of your mind to take an extraordinarily sad, and unfortunate situation which has happened in another office, and use it to express your disappointment with the response you received from me. That not only lacks social grace, but, compassion, and forethought.

calling someone "pathetic, a vulture, an idiot, and a loser" is BEREFT of social grace, compassion, and forethought !
