  Hey, welcome back. We've got episode 11 today
• 0:39
  yesterday was our first day of our mini mail survey.
• 0:44
  And we'll see from the guys on how, how, well it's gone for
• 0:47
  them so far. How's it going Josh?
• 0:52
  It's going pretty good. My manager is giving us the
• 0:56
  stand-up talk. Friday morning.
• 1:00
  Finally seem to have the. I'm not sure.
• 1:05
  I'll get back to you. Response to the few questions.
• 1:11
  There were Including for upside down.
• 1:16
  Can I just put a tick mark, you know, check mark, and show it to
• 1:21
  you, or do I have to pull them out and to actually knowing what
• 1:27
  he was doing Saturday morning. So that was a plus However, one
• 1:32
  of the other supervisors, my coworker Mary that you guys met,
• 1:40
  the supervisor on her side, was telling her that when she was
• 1:44
  asking about the DPS hours and outside Downs.
• 1:48
  Will you already get credit problem, the end of run for your
• 1:52
  DPS numbers. So apparently, she heard back
• 1:58
  from District telling her, yes, you are supposed to count those.
• 2:05
  So she needs to turn that in Monday morning because that
• 2:09
  Cooper was, there was no longer there when they got back in the
• 2:12
  afternoon. Mike.
• 2:15
  How did your weekend first of many male survey go?
• 2:20
  Actually, ours went ours went pretty.
• 2:22
  Well are our new whatever is title is station manager.
• 2:28
  Oh I see talking to him was a lot like talking to my Dr. He
• 2:35
  said the the things he said were basically the same things my Dr.
• 2:39
  Said in our Zoom training so it went really well.
• 2:46
  We did our measurements last week.
• 2:49
  Round trip to everything that went that was easy.
• 2:54
  Cat was easy. I showed up yesterday and every
• 2:58
  route had a tub sitting in front of the hot case with their rod
• 3:05
  letters and flats with a sticky note on top of it, with the
• 3:09
  count of how many were there. The S 99 mail was already in
• 3:14
  there to already bundled up. And then there were a few pieces
• 3:18
  in the hot case that they brought to us later.
• 3:21
  And when I checked the numbers later, those were included in
• 3:25
  the. Those were included in my the
• 3:28
  numbers they had before. I brought my numbers back from
• 3:32
  what I pulled out of the DPS, my upside down Etc.
• 3:37
  So and then, you know, no argument over, you know, mr.
• 3:42
  Owned Parcels said, time yourself, taking them over to
• 3:45
  the triage area. So it actually went.
• 3:50
  It went pretty well Bill. How did yours go?
• 4:01
  Here? We go a little bit later on,
• 4:05
  okay, but I guess I need to know the build the story for it and
• 4:11
  you'll understand why. But we had a talk first thing in
• 4:14
  the morning. I gave the talk so everybody was
• 4:17
  clear on everything that some of the situation will discuss later
• 4:21
  came up during that and You know, you just you just have to
• 4:27
  laugh because of the amount of information misinformation
• 4:30
  disinformation. You know it is just you know,
• 4:34
  what do you what do you pull out of your DPS?
• 4:36
  Everything that doesn't belong. Okay.
• 4:40
  Now the only discrepancy I had with the our discussions earlier
• 4:44
  off. The the podcast was about the
• 4:46
  UVB M as you know you're handling it once it goes right
• 4:51
  into the damn trash but yeah, technically If you handle it and
• 4:57
  it's not, you know, you know for delivery, yes.
• 5:00
  What does it matter which way it goes?
• 5:02
  Do, BBM. Miss Stewart, mis-sent, whatever
• 5:06
  you can pull it out, okay? But you know, I'm still confused
• 5:13
  as far as helps management was trained because the one specific
• 5:19
  thing that really ticked me off. Was my clearance slip, the 3821
• 5:22
  little white slip, you have for clearing your accountable.
• 5:25
  Yeah, now my we don't sign for accountable the clerk just scans
• 5:29
  them into the clerk mail and you get them.
• 5:32
  They'll show up on your scanner to But I go get the 3821
• 5:37
  cleared. And the supervisor says, oh, no,
• 5:39
  that's not. That's not, you know, in the
• 5:40
  miscellaneous. I said, no, they give you
• 5:43
  examples of what they accepted miscellaneous and if you have
• 5:46
  others, there's a big space at the bottom where you can put the
• 5:50
  time in with a description of what the miscellaneous activity
• 5:53
  was. And she looks at me and says,
• 5:56
  I'll have to look into that. My understanding is now included
• 6:02
  under end of shift or I was just going to leave that.
• 6:08
  Now, I want to I want the extra two minutes Okay, there's
• 6:15
  nothing in there about the 3820 ones.
• 6:17
  As far as end, the ship's is concerned.
• 6:20
  I think there is. I think that's right.
• 6:24
  I don't know. I've read it to my eyes are
• 6:26
  bleeding so let me look into that.
• 6:30
  Yeah, look into it but they were It's would be the time to vent
• 6:51
  from Return to you to either be a or clock out.
• 6:56
  Well, the problem of it is that it is a connection actual actual
• 7:02
  function that you don't do every day.
• 7:07
  So, therefore, you should be getting paid for Well, I can
• 7:13
  tell you in Pascal's they've said don't be coming with this
• 7:17
  slip. If you're only going to come
• 7:19
  from these two weeks and then stop need to be doing it every
• 7:22
  day. Well, yeah, I've got them all
• 7:25
  the way back to the 2018. So yeah, I think I can prove
• 7:29
  that. Okay, people sit there and say
• 7:32
  no you don't, I open up my drawer and there's a, you know,
• 7:36
  an eight and a half inch stack of these damn things that in
• 7:38
  there, okay, maybe you do I'm not, you know, if you if you
• 7:48
  actually get cleared every day, then yes, here it is right here

• 10:43
  That's all of your end of shift, duties.
• 10:48
  So where the hell I can't even get the number five.
• 10:51
  Now, for some reason, it's section, 25 page, 78 of the
• 10:57
  comprehensive guide to Rex. I know I have this is that I
• 11:04
  can't even get that. I got.
• 11:06
  There we go. You do. 78 good to do.
• 11:17
  I can admit them up a bit of a saint.
• 11:21
  Now, this goes back to my question with my Dr. Was where
• 11:25
  do we get the information that dictates the time that's allowed
• 11:30
  and everything for all this? You know, we're how they how
• 11:34
  they compiled it? Well, let me hold on, I gotta go
• 11:38
  to page 99 of the P. 603 Because let me tell you something that
• 11:45
  the the mou they extended again, didn't do double time chicken
• 11:49
  shits, but if you know, in our situation, if we're helping out
• 11:54
  on another Route, 99 percent of the time, we're taking that with
• 11:58
  us, we're not returning to the office, it's inefficient it
• 12:03
  costs more, it takes more time. And that time that you spend
• 12:07
  coming back is now added onto your evaluation.
• 12:12
  Where you should be able to hit on you.
• 12:13
  While you're on the route, going to the other piece.
• 12:17
  You know that you're switching over to that?
• 12:19
  Yeah that's yeah. I know.
• 12:22
  But there's no format for that. No there isn't and I wish there
• 12:27
  was a little switching the route and the scanner.
• 12:29
  Yeah of course when they put this all together we didn't have
• 12:34
  the Staffing shortages like we have now.
• 12:38
  No. But you also didn't have you
• 12:40
  didn't have any of these. Damn, doctors and thesis
• 12:43
  Engineers, you know, whoever carried a freaking route and
• 12:48
  help out and anytime because you eat, we've helped out years
• 12:51
  past. So this is not the, you know,
• 12:54
  something new. This this is we've helped out
• 12:56
  before you know 2018 you know when you had wrapped Valerie you
• 13:03
  got you know you got a bunch of barnacles whatever.
• 13:05
  I mean you know so this is a known quantity that we do and
• 13:10
  that wasn't factored in. And then It gave us no I guess
• 13:13
  that there's no format for you to exit out.
• 13:16
  I can help an RD 20 on my route, but the hundred four houses
• 13:21
  Carriage homes that I'd be able to help on our three quarters of
• 13:25
  the way through my route and it wouldn't make sense for me to
• 13:27
  drive. 40 miles back to the post office of 14 miles back to
• 13:31
  service them when I can do them right there on the streets.
• 13:35
  Correct. And that in a similar instances
• 13:37
  would be when I'm running my Ox row on top of a regular route
• 13:41
  that What's up with my Ox route? I yeah I totally get that
• 13:45
  because then I'm having to go back and fudge numbers because I
• 13:50
  can't be logged into both routes at the same time TimeWise and a
• 13:55
  42 40s. And so yeah.
• 13:58
  No, I totally get that. No, it's just yeah, your
• 14:05
  efficiency experts and you didn't factor that in.
• 14:09
  So the clearance and disposition of accountable items per the p60
• 14:15
  three section 43 which is page 99 of the piece 603 has
• 14:22
  registered certified Express Mail, handling give postmaster
• 14:25
  supervisor or doesn t all the following for all articles
• 14:30
  attempted for deliver reliable delivery.
• 14:32
  Undelivered a registered certified.
• 14:34
  Or Express Mail articles, PS forms, 3849 PS forms 3811.
• 14:43
  Labels 11 be Clarence. The postmaster, supervisor
• 14:48
  doesn't eat clears each item on the PS form. 38 67, Where the
• 14:55
  use of the POS form. 3883 firm delivery mail firm, delivery
• 15:00
  book registered has been authorized return.
• 15:04
  The original bill is proof of delivery and I'll return seats
• 15:08
  for articles listed for Clarence, PS form, 3821
• 15:12
  clearance. Receipt showing the number of
• 15:13
  receipts and undeliverable articles, return for clearance.
• 15:17
  If the form is properly completed, the clearing employee
• 15:20
  signs and returns it to you. There were leaves you a further
• 15:22
  responsibility for the item. So, yeah, that's all under end
• 15:26
  of shift duties. Now, Welcome.
• 15:30
  But I'm sorry. Did I say that out loud?
• 15:38
  This is where they buried stuff in there saying, oh, that's
• 15:44
  factored. In all.
• 15:45
  That's factored in. We got a lot of stuff factored
• 15:47
  in but you know, God damn folks. I don't see it.
• 15:54
  I just don't see it. And everybody's so concerned
• 15:57
  about the mail volume folks that the mail volumes Really going to
• 16:01
  affect your routes at all and that's been email survey is only
• 16:05
  6% of the of the 100%. Yeah. 94% of its already tracked
• 16:12
  by machines and scanner, right? One percentage of distances so
• 16:17
  that only least 5% for what the count.
• 16:20
  Yes. and, How my week went. It went okay through the week
• 16:31
  and then I got notified by my supervisor at 6:16 yester.
• 16:38
  Oh yeah. 616 yesterday morning that I was no longer on Route 3.
• 16:42
  I was going to be on Route 5. So I was wondering what's going
• 16:47
  on at that time. So and she got, so go ahead and
• 16:52
  get to work and I got there a little early just because its
• 16:55
  first day, many mail survey. Oh, and to catch carriers and
• 16:58
  tell him not to touch anything in the hot case till it's been
• 17:01
  counted. So anyways, supervisor finally
• 17:04
  gets there and I said, so what happened here?
• 17:07
  And she just gives me that look with the eyebrow is kind of one
• 17:11
  up one down and I said he quit and she Goes.
• 17:16
  Yes. So we lost one of our newer
• 17:19
  RCA's yesterday. Yeah.
• 17:24
  Yeah. Yeah.
• 17:25
  And so that leaves me and the other one and so that leaves me
• 17:35
  I told her as long as my time off that's been approved ice I
• 17:39
  get that that's I don't care anymore.
• 17:42
  I Friday I was scheduled to run my Ox route so So I got to sleep
• 17:46
  in because my start time for that's not till 9:00, I get a
• 17:50
  phone call at 8:20 asking, if I could come in and run our six,
• 17:54
  which is my primary POV route, and I was like it.
• 17:58
  All right, it was crappy out Thursday.
• 18:00
  It is super cold out. I'll be more than happy to run
• 18:03
  with that route in my POV and so I fill the car up with gas and
• 18:08
  take it in and get in there. And so is about 8:45 when I
• 18:12
  clocked in so 45 minutes. It's after start time and I'll
• 18:19
  get into that later on why they happened what happened there.
• 18:23
  So and then she proceeds to contact the other RCA the way
• 18:29
  you have left to run the aux route and by 9:15 had heard
• 18:35
  absolutely nothing. So I said, all right I'll take
• 18:37
  the Lov and run the double. I got back in six.
• 18:45
  I was out of the office by 10 and it only took me an hour and
• 18:47
  15 minutes to Case and load both routes.
• 18:51
  It was a somewhat light day but giving the 11 to 13 inches of
• 18:56
  snow, that we had dumped on us Thursday.
• 18:59
  And roads were not the greatest Friday.
• 19:02
  So and that's the 93 mile route post my Ox route.
• 19:05
  So yeah, it was about 6:00 when I finally got back and then had
• 19:09
  to go in and run the route that I haven't ran in a couple months
• 19:12
  because they had a new RCA on it.
• 19:14
  And nothing was plowed yesterday either.
• 19:17
  But the little bit more we got and we have another five to
• 19:21
  eight inches coming tomorrow. I'm jealous.
• 19:25
  I'm fine. Oh yeah.
• 19:27
  Oh yeah, you know. Yeah, my wife was just saying
• 19:32
  something the other day about with the whether it's loose.
• 19:36
  San Diego. For the first time, ever is
• 19:39
  calling from blizzard warnings. I saw that show that to my wife.
• 19:45
  She said, you know what, I'm even but we haven't had any
• 19:51
  snow. The mighty sleep once this
• 19:55
  winter for all five minutes. And literally five minutes
• 20:01
  Thursday. Yeah, she's like definitely nod
• 20:08
  to the day after tomorrow. That's all right, we're below.
• 20:12
  The want the fries line Thursday, on Route 3 which has
• 20:17
  u.s. 23 and some the side. None of the side roads, had been
• 20:23
  touched. I ended up bringing 146 boxes of
• 20:27
  140. Six boxes that I could not
• 20:29
  deliver Thursday, because I knew there was no way of getting down
• 20:32
  the plowed roads after you get a foot of snow dumped on you
• 20:35
  overnight and, and put it that way, Thursday, we didn't even
• 20:42
  our truck, which normally gets there about 7:15.
• 20:46
  So, you know how the post offices with we go with the
• 20:49
  lowest bid. Well, they went with the lowest
• 20:52
  bid on are plowing service and trust me, you get what you pay
• 20:56
  for Our semi driver got stuck pulling into the drive because
• 21:01
  it had not been plowed and it had been Wendy.
• 21:06
  Our front lot was plowed out our customer parking lot was plowed
• 21:09
  out, but our back to Lots were not.
• 21:12
  I walked through a snow drift through the back gate to get in.
• 21:17
  That was up mid thigh and I still wasn't a mall the way down
• 21:20
  it. Yeah.
• 21:24
  She literally by the time it got cleared out and she could
• 21:29
  actually move the truck because she couldn't she was just
• 21:31
  spinning tires. Trying to reverse it out because
• 21:33
  she's like, if I can get out of here, I'm not dropping your
• 21:35
  mail. She's like, this is bullshit.
• 21:37
  We're happy, we're out. There was sand bags and sand and
• 21:40
  salt and helping her shovel to try and get her to move before.
• 21:43
  Guy came over with the, the steer skid with the plow, on the
• 21:47
  front of it, to move the snow out.
• 21:49
  And it was about 840 by the time she got to the dock.
• 21:55
  And so it was actually about 10 o'clock by time, I started cake
• 22:00
  9:30 9:45, when I start case in mail because Tim Who lives 15
• 22:09
  miles from the post office and the main road hadn't been
• 22:12
  plowed. Jack got stuck trying to come in
• 22:15
  and he finally got his plow truck going.
• 22:17
  And there was nobody else to run that route because that's my
• 22:22
  primary route. So she let me go pick him up
• 22:26
  since we're waiting anyway, so I took me an hour.
• 22:28
  Round trip to go get him and come back.
• 22:31
  So it was about well, So, I love those about 9:30.
• 22:37
  When I quarter 9:30, almost quarter, ten by ten, actually,
• 22:40
  start casing mail. I'll still out of the office by
• 22:44
  10:15. It was light, but yeah, it was
• 22:48
  a, it was a fun day Thursday, and I think tomorrow, maybe
• 22:52
  Tuesday will be a repeat, woohoo with that bows on Tuesday.
• 22:56
  That will be even more fun. Yeah, I think it was in with us
• 23:04
  all video of someone driving down what was supposed to be
• 23:08
  Interstate in Wisconsin. I thought where it was Dakotas.
• 23:17
  Either way, it was a single wing.
• 23:21
  Yeah, that's how a lot of my and it looks like that single wing
• 23:26
  was there because of traffic driving over it.
• 23:28
  Not because the flower, I had some fun towards the end of the
• 23:36
  POA yesterday. They said, the roads out there
• 23:39
  was just fluffy stuff so that helped.
• 23:41
  But I go to turn off the one side road onto the other side
• 23:45
  road on gravel roads and this section and I pretty much did a
• 23:48
  180. I was like whoo.
• 23:49
  That was fun. Friday, I only slid off the road
• 23:55
  twice, got myself out. Luckily once on the primary
• 23:59
  route and wants on my Ox route, and then talking to Tim
• 24:03
  yesterday goes, yeah, he goes, I saw her.
• 24:04
  I said, she see where I slid off at.
• 24:06
  He goes, you up and I went right in there, too.
• 24:08
  I said, dude, you're not supposed to follow my tracks
• 24:10
  like that you made them so he can bring the rail.
• 24:17
  Yeah, right into the ditch. He stuck the landing like I did
• 24:25
  likely get out. Yeah it was so what happened?
• 24:30
  Friday, I'll get this out of the way and we'll continue real
• 24:34
  quick. I know many, I'm a lot of us are
• 24:37
  smokers in the in the post office and Carrier, my buddy,
• 24:43
  Tim, I'll throw it out there. Hi, Tim, if you're listening,
• 24:46
  hey, doctor prescribed, him Chantix well, they pulled the
• 24:50
  name-brand off, but they still have the generic out there.
• 24:54
  Gave him Chantix to try and stop smoking.
• 24:56
  And so he'd been on into a second week of it and Friday.
• 25:05
  I don't know how he made it to work.
• 25:07
  Said it took him an hour to get to work because he drove around
• 25:11
  the This one area not knowing where he was going once he
• 25:16
  finally figured that out, he got to work.
• 25:18
  He couldn't form words, he could hardly speak.
• 25:23
  That's when the supervisor called me to come in and his
• 25:27
  daughter-in-law, and her mother took him to the doctors and what
• 25:30
  had happened. Is his brain, had had an
• 25:32
  allergic reaction to the Chantix and so, I've heard some success
• 25:39
  stories, and I've heard some ours.
• 25:41
  Stories. And that would be one of the
• 25:43
  horror stories. He you know he could think of
• 25:46
  the words but he couldn't say them, he couldn't he you know,
• 25:50
  and Didn't know where he was going and he they hooked him up
• 25:56
  onto to IV drips to help, clear it from his system.
• 26:01
  His body wasn't processing, it was collecting it.
• 26:06
  And so there was yeah, so there was a buildup and it affected
• 26:12
  his brain and he, so yeah, yeah, he was back to Saturday feeling
• 26:18
  a whole lot better and is no longer taking that.
• 26:21
  So but yeah, just a warning out there.
• 26:24
  People, not everybody can do the Chantix, and I was kind of
• 26:27
  thinking that might have been a reaction.
• 26:28
  He had, and he did call me that afternoon, while I was on the
• 26:32
  route after he had gotten back and took a nap and woke up and
• 26:35
  could actually speak again. To let me know what happens.
• 26:44
  Okay. A personal story and it affected
• 26:51
  me dramatically in the psychological sense.
• 26:55
  So the point one night, I heard a noise.
• 26:59
  I mop gun in hand and I almost shot my wife.
• 27:03
  Yeah, because I was so paranoid. I was having I don't, I don't
• 27:10
  dream. Okay, you could get very Vivid,
• 27:14
  but this was given me very, very psychotic.
• 27:19
  You know? Thoughts in my mind while I'm
• 27:21
  asleep and boy, I'll tell you what.
• 27:24
  And since then, when that happened, that I stop, that shit
• 27:27
  immediately II was I was worse than asshole.
• 27:30
  That I am now. Oh yeah, that is a friend or an
• 27:35
  acquaintance of mine in his wife.
• 27:38
  I was taking a quick came home. His wife is in the In the living
• 27:44
  room, or whatever room. It was on the floor in the fetal
• 27:48
  position, just rocking back and forth with a butcher knife in
• 27:51
  her hand. Yeah.
• 27:54
  No one knows. You know, she doesn't even know
• 27:57
  what the reasoning behind that was, but But yeah, it was, you
• 28:05
  know, I think I tried it very briefly and I just didn't like
• 28:09
  the way it felt and stop. So, Yeah.
• 28:16
  It's um, as you know just a warning out there people like I
• 28:19
  said, it works great for some others.
• 28:22
  Cannot do it. Yeah, he was telling me about
• 28:24
  some vivid dreams, he was having that he really enjoyed, but that
• 28:29
  night before things happened. He had a very nightmarish dream
• 28:34
  that was extremely Vivid and then the next day, you know, he
• 28:37
  gets up that morning and he can hardly speak.
• 28:40
  Can't form words can't, you know, didn't know where he was
• 28:44
  going. So, yeah.
• 28:46
  It's warnings out there. People, if you're going to quit,
• 28:48
  quit, cold turkey, I did that. Once I quit for eight years and
• 28:55
  then when Amazon came into my office, and I became a local
• 28:59
  Steward, and that was going on six years ago.
• 29:04
  Yeah, no, I haven't forgotten horror stories from anyone.
• 29:11
  That's tried Wellbutrin. But I don't really know too many
• 29:18
  people and I think the way we help you trying to wear with the
• 29:22
  sand textures, chicken quitting stopping before you start taking
• 29:26
  it and Wellbutrin, it actually decreases the craving fairer
• 29:32
  than the chances. That's what the Chantix was
• 29:34
  supposed to do too, is it makes you not want a cigarette?
• 29:39
  The Cravings makes it taste absolutely horrible, but it also
• 29:43
  affects your brain. And in other ways as well.
• 29:48
  He's also on another medication and she thinks that that
• 29:53
  medication was blocking his body from Bernard up like it was
• 29:57
  supposed to. So yep.
• 30:01
  No more. Chantix We're back to the
• 30:07
  postal. Mini mail survey?
• 30:09
  Yes, yes we are. That was my highlight of the
• 30:15
  week. So, back to where we were.
• 30:18
  I know, Mike, you want you tell us about this app that you got
• 30:22
  for her County? Well, step out there, somebody I
• 30:26
  saw on one of the rural carrier, Facebook groups, somebody
• 30:31
  recommended this app called count that now, And I shared a
• 30:37
  link to it on the in our Discord page.
• 30:40
  And I also, I also shared fate picture of how I set the buttons
• 30:50
  that you basically have several. Several ways you can set the
• 30:54
  buttons up. It's a very simple.
• 30:56
  You open it up and you have a plus, and a minus button.
• 30:59
  And I just said it out on my desk.
• 31:02
  And as I was casing, my mail Saturday, every time I came
• 31:06
  across Cross a upside down letter.
• 31:08
  I just tap the screen and added one.
• 31:11
  And it worked real slick so that I can't do math in my head is
• 31:20
  another issue. But, but anyway, so I tried it
• 31:28
  out. I assume there will be days next
• 31:30
  week where I'll be taking my DPS to the street and I'll have it
• 31:36
  open. It's got several features like
• 31:40
  you can have it so that Always up or, you know, always on, I
• 31:45
  think as how they said it. Let's see counter stuff.
• 31:52
  Yeah. So so you can play with the
• 31:55
  settings to have it. Have it the way you want it,
• 31:59
  whether or not you want sounds when you when you click on it,
• 32:04
  you can have it. So it reads the numbers out.
• 32:09
  Yeah, I have it set up so it just has the big plus button.
• 32:16
  And if you look at the picture, it just the basically the whole
• 32:20
  screen is the putt is the plus button.
• 32:22
  And then if you need to subtract something, the minus buttons a
• 32:25
  little smaller, as I was saying before the show, the only down
• 32:31
  side, I see to this thing right now and in, you can put several
• 32:36
  counters, I don't know how many you're if you're limited to how
• 32:39
  many to, if you're limited to any, but I guess I'm going to
• 32:45
  I'm going to try setting. Lineup for every day on the
• 32:47
  count on the survey. So I'll have the numbers in
• 32:51
  there but there's not a feature to zero it out.
• 32:55
  I mean, if you just wanted to write your number down and turn
• 32:59
  it in and then zero it out, I don't see a way to zero it out
• 33:02
  other than hitting the minus button until you get 20.
• 33:06
  Yeah, but but for what I did in the office, that worked pretty
• 33:12
  slick. And I'm sure I'll get a chance
• 33:17
  to test it out on the street next week.
• 33:21
  This quick, this coming week so we'll see how that goes.
• 33:24
  It's called count that now and then I'll post a picture of his
• 33:33
  screenshot and the name of the app that you can look for on the
• 33:38
  Facebook page and the the the icon for it and I thought Maybe
• 33:45
  it would be that way. But the icon for it is, you
• 33:49
  know, your basic ticket counter with, with, for ticks and then
• 33:52
  the number five. Number five, one cross the cut
• 33:56
  across it. So that's as out.
• 34:01
  So that was go through this here.
• 34:08
  There's the post. What was her name is?
• 34:11
  Shout out to sue. Coley is the person who posted
• 34:15
  that on the All carriers page on Facebook and I reached out to
• 34:21
  her and thanked her for posting that because I found that to be
• 34:24
  really, really useful. Perhaps I will download that
• 34:30
  probably this week and see how it goes instead of hunting for
• 34:35
  piece of paper and a pen, and a pen and trying to dig one out
• 34:38
  every time. You have to make a tick mark.
• 34:41
  Yeah, yes, tags. Right, at it.
• 34:46
  And then, as I'm going through my mail for each little bundle,
• 34:52
  I have in my hands as I'm casing it, I get 1 over 1.
• 34:58
  One one, one, one, two, three. You know, we gotta just until I
• 35:07
  finish that I only had 92, I only had 40
• 35:26
  pieces of mail that I brought back total ayat 93.
• 35:31
  Yeah, 27 or that was no mail or acceptable.
• 35:35
  A few forwards, a couple holds one mis-sent, one miss sort and
• 35:41
  like 90, boom. That was it?
• 35:48
  Let's see. Where's my sticky note?
• 35:52
  Yeah, I had a lot more than that.
• 35:56
  They had 25 3. M26 boob mm5 a and k-6 forward
• 36:03
  six you or for UTF 19 holds in a well 19 holds 23 with the
• 36:10
  premium forward. I had And then 152.
• 36:18
  Inversion upside down inverted. Yeah.
• 36:20
  So I had three Miss sequence that came later in the route.
• 36:25
  There were, there were so I delivered that, I just kept
• 36:26
  track but that was it for It was 92 inverted and I think it was
• 36:35
  three hours. Now, I got have a question on
• 36:40
  the bundle Flats if the first two are mine and the next 95 or
• 36:45
  another routes or other offices can I have them counted?
• 36:50
  Well well technically the bundle is counted to you.
• 36:55
  Yes. And then like that's a raw milk
• 36:58
  account for the rest. Yeah.
• 37:00
  Wasn't very around with the up on the top there in the way
• 37:07
  would have your route number or Digit route number.
• 37:13
  Mmm. Yeah.
• 37:14
  How I've seen mine. So so I was everything.
• 37:17
  I heard says that you get credit for everything in the bottle and
• 37:21
  then you get the time, you know, the trip to the 3M, to your
• 37:26
  throwback area, to throw it back.
• 37:29
  And then the carriers that it belongs, to will get a piece
• 37:32
  count for it, in their raw bail, when they get it, you know, the
• 37:36
  next day, the next day or the, whenever they get it.
• 37:41
  Now, here's a little sidebar. Has anybody looked at the new
• 37:44
  deck? I code g for work hours, on the
• 37:47
  holiday I have. I haven't ya?
• 37:51
  Good girl, it doesn't actually doesn't affect me, but yeah,
• 37:57
  well II know I'm not the brightest bulb in the Box.
• 38:01
  Okay, but the back of G will pay one day's evaluation as
• 38:05
  applicable employees using the DACA G will have their leave
• 38:09
  balance credited, one day of annual leave, but will not
• 38:12
  receive Holiday pay for the observed holiday.
• 38:16
  All right, hold on. What's your holiday?
• 38:20
  Pay people, the one waves. So you're not getting anything.
• 38:30
  But you're going to get the g code that you can use later on,
• 38:33
  but you're going to be missing your holiday pay, right?
• 38:37
  So instead of letting the holiday pay this check.
• 38:42
  Get an extra annual dating was later, but why would you give up
• 38:45
  your day's pay for a day's pay? And you're still working your
• 38:50
  holiday. It's like an R code.
• 38:53
  Yeah. Basically.
• 38:55
  But for the holiday, it's ridiculous.
• 39:00
  You're going to give me a day of leave but you're not going to
• 39:03
  pay me for the holiday. Yes.
• 39:08
  Alright, still get paid. But you're not getting paid for
• 39:15
  the holiday while working like the Saturday, okay, right.
• 39:21
  You're not saying you're not making any extra money for
• 39:23
  working that Saturday, you're just getting straight pay.
• 39:27
  All right, so you're just getting an extra leave day and
• 39:33
  giving up a day's pay for the next page, pay period.
• 39:37
  Okay, how did that make sense? Yeah, doesn't it?
• 39:40
  Oh yeah. I just, yeah, I'll be saying
• 39:52
  that they wanted the option of an angle.
• 40:10
  I'm freaking see if that's better.
• 40:16
  Today was the start of the many mail survey.
• 40:18
  Yes, hmm. I had a meeting with all the
• 40:21
  carriers almost all the carriers because one of them was
• 40:25
  dilly-dallying and didn't get to hear the first part but I was
• 40:28
  explaining to them what was being counted.
• 40:32
  And I have a pretty good voice where I can project and people
• 40:34
  can hear and everything. Yes, but everybody was gathered
• 40:37
  around the supervisor was there. This is the problem with our
• 40:42
  craft, okay? When I explain random Flats
• 40:46
  random letters and the pars label a carrier of 33 years
• 40:52
  says, what's a pars label? I looked at them and, and, and
• 41:01
  not even thinking of where I was at.
• 41:03
  I said, are you fucking kidding me?
• 41:07
  He goes, no, I don't know what a parts label is the supervisor
• 41:10
  held up the little white sticker and said this the change of
• 41:14
  address sticker, we give you. I never knew it was called a
• 41:17
  pars label, and I went off and I explained, I said, this is the
• 41:22
  problem with the people who aren't members, people who are
• 41:26
  members of the Union who don't pay attention to protecting
• 41:30
  their paycheck. I said with this many mail
• 41:35
  survey, if you have any questions, you go to the
• 41:37
  supervisor, it's a supervisor doesn't resolve it.
• 41:40
  You come to me or 10 Mac who's a Dr in our office.
• 41:43
  Okay, and we'll get it resolved, don't wait to the end of the
• 41:47
  survey and start filing a shitload of grievances, okay?
• 41:51
  Take care of it immediately and I purposely pointed out one
• 41:56
  carrier. I said you came to meet this
• 41:58
  morning with a bucket saying, there's no count tag on this.
• 42:02
  And I pulled the labels out of the sleeve and said, do you see
• 42:06
  this? And she says yes and I says it's
• 42:09
  a FSM 100. Correct G is yes, I said, the
• 42:11
  date is 225 2023. Correct, she goes.
• 42:15
  Yes, I said, you know what that means?
• 42:17
  And she goes, no, Twelve years and she didn't know that.
• 42:23
  That was an automated flat tub. Yeah.
• 42:27
  Well now, okay, later on that day, a text went out on the
• 42:33
  group to group tax asking about whether the mail were coming
• 42:37
  back to the office has to be counted.
• 42:40
  Another carrier responded. No I responded stopped answering
• 42:45
  people's questions. Who have not put any time into
• 42:47
  protecting their paychecks. It's been two years in the
• 42:50
  process. Learn.
• 42:51
  What is what everything you need to know, is on the website,
• 42:55
  Facebook, YouTube, rural internet and add podcast like
• 42:59
  United, We scan And then somebody goes asshole, which is
• 43:03
  a compliment to me. And then the guy who posted the
• 43:07
  question, said, asshole came over and purposely said, if you
• 43:10
  don't get a response from your supervisor come to Timber
• 43:13
  myself, don't wait until the count is over to to get your
• 43:16
  questions answered. So instead of answering him
• 43:19
  again on the chat, okay, I called them up.
• 43:21
  Nice is first of all, you said go to the supervisor.
• 43:24
  Did you go to the supervisor about this question?
• 43:26
  He goes, no, I said there's your first problem.
• 43:28
  I said second problem who's talking to you, he goes.
• 43:31
  Some asshole at, that's your second problem.
• 43:34
  What's your third problem? You have your kids and boy
• 43:38
  scouts soccer swimming this that the other thing and your life's
• 43:42
  dedicated to him and I understand people or busy, but
• 43:46
  everybody's on their phone. Everybody is on their tablet.
• 43:49
  Everybody's on their laptop. If you can't put 5 to 10 minutes
• 43:53
  a day into protecting your paycheck folks, don't ask me to
• 43:58
  be your daddy and hold your hand and answer every question at the
• 44:01
  Museum. Okay, you have a responsibility
• 44:04
  yourself. And if you don't take care of
• 44:08
  it, guess what? Your kids will suffer, they
• 44:12
  won't go to the Boy Scouts, they won't go to the swimming, they
• 44:14
  won't be able to go to soccer, because your paychecks going to
• 44:17
  be cut. And you can explain to them.
• 44:20
  Well I was so busy. I didn't have time to do this
• 44:23
  bullshit. Folks, take an interest in your
• 44:26
  living, take an interest in your friend and do something for
• 44:31
  yourself. That's my rant for tonight.
• 44:37
  No, but I have to agree. I'm an RCA and I know what a
• 44:40
  parcel label is. I've got, every time the
• 44:43
  question was asked to the postmaster yesterday, she turned
• 44:46
  around and looked at me for four.
• 44:48
  Or the proper for the proper answer, just to make sure she
• 44:54
  was on the right page. Of course, it didn't hurt that I
• 44:58
  had to explain to her what p.m. casing actually was.
• 45:00
  Because with our snow storm, she wanted to tell everybody, well
• 45:03
  the boxes you couldn't deliver when you get back and you get
• 45:06
  everything else. Put away go under p.m. casing to
• 45:08
  re case that up. And I'm like, no, no, no, that's
• 45:12
  end of shift, duties. Peeking out it's amazing.
• 45:17
  Hey, the one supervisor we had, she's sitting there, going, she
• 45:21
  goes, I can't take this. She goes, you know, this is just
• 45:24
  too much. I said, it's the first day.
• 45:28
  And she goes, yes, but I'll have to work 12 hours.
• 45:30
  That's all my God. I never worked 12 hours of my
• 45:33
  life before. Oh my god.
• 45:34
  Oh no, that's terrible. You know.
• 45:38
  And it's so much easier than past counts.
• 45:42
  I have been. Oh my God.
• 45:45
  I know I'm not having to wait for my Parcels.
• 45:48
  I'm not having to wait, you know, it's because it's simple.
• 45:53
  Yeah. Together, you can case your DPS,
• 46:13
  if you case it everybody in my office, except for one person
• 46:17
  takes it to the street, you know, you can be loading your
• 46:20
  vehicle with packages, you've already marked or whatever, you
• 46:24
  know. There's, you can just continue
• 46:26
  working instead of having to sit and wait for every little thing.
• 46:30
  You know, I remember having to wait to go load because they
• 46:34
  only had so many stopwatches and they're already being used.
• 46:37
  You had wait till somebody came back in to say, okay, I'm going
• 46:40
  to load, so they could start your stopwatch or coming back in
• 46:44
  and waiting for supervisor to walk their ass over to the
• 46:50
  return mail dump, so they could count it out.
• 46:53
  I mean, it's so much easier than what it's been in the past.
• 46:57
  Yep. Yep, yep.
• 46:59
  Like I said, being an artist and being an RCA and I have been
• 47:03
  throughout gosh three at least three male counts my old office.
• 47:07
  is so, Remember when we did our first meal count with Benjamin
• 47:14
  Franklin you know you're just old but it's all good.
• 47:23
  Yeah I can remember the last September mandatory.
• 47:28
  I never went through a mandatory September so well, neither did I
• 47:33
  but you're right. Kristen that not having to wait
• 47:35
  for a supervisor with a stopwatch is so much nicer.
• 47:39
  Oh my God. And I just, and I just Found
• 47:42
  that, you know, I'm going to the hot case.
• 47:46
  Okay, no no wait wait wait got to get know.
• 47:49
  Now from there. You step up, step up a little
• 47:51
  more step. Okay, there now go.
• 47:54
  Yeah, no measurements being counted for where you stand in
• 48:00
  the case and that the edge of the outside of the case, you
• 48:03
  know, the lady of it. Yeah, I mean, there are many
• 48:07
  things that work more to our advantage on this, the actual
• 48:11
  Time for end of shift, your actual loading time you're you
• 48:16
  know that stuff is beneficial to us in many many ways and the
• 48:21
  elimination of the 50-foot rule, which I argued against Venom
• 48:25
  Italy every years. Yeah yeah.
• 48:30
  Yep. Why am I giving you 50 feet?
• 48:34
  Yeah. So it's, you know, it's
• 48:36
  definitely a lot easier and much more simple for this and we
• 48:42
  were, you know, we were all saying even the postmasters like
• 48:44
  this is so much nicer and I'm like, yes, yes it is.
• 48:48
  You always still had that one carrier where we had to explain
• 48:51
  it in detail three or four times before she finally.
• 48:55
  Okay, but you know, every office has at least one of those.
• 48:58
  So Yeah, I don't overthink it people.
• 49:04
  I think that's a lot of people that are so used to the old male
• 49:07
  count ways and so their way overthinking it and you know,
• 49:11
  like Bill and all of us have said in the past the information
• 49:16
  is out there. Like you know most direct place
• 49:19
  is the Union website. You don't have access to it.
• 49:23
  Rural info has majority of it available to you.
• 49:29
  We Have it, YouTube. Everything pertaining to Rex is
• 49:35
  available to you there. I may I think I've put a quite a
• 49:39
  bit of it in the Facebook group as well, if you're not a member
• 49:44
  that feel free to join, it is kind of quiet over there, but
• 49:47
  again, I'm an RCA who basically holds down my office and keeps
• 49:54
  it running. So on that note, yeah.
• 50:00
  It's yeah, it's funny because the discussion came up about
• 50:06
  this new Mini mail survey and why they went to this, nice of
• 50:09
  all the post office will tell you it's for you know efficiency
• 50:13
  and this and that and everything.
• 50:14
  I said it's because they got Dumber supervisors.
• 50:17
  So they had to make it easier for them to be able to do it and
• 50:22
  they said, no, you can't say that.
• 50:23
  I said okay, I won't say it again and then I said it again.
• 50:28
  Yeah. It's and it you know and with
• 50:33
  the mou extension for another six weeks, Carrie regular one.
• 50:38
  Yeah, excuse me months, a little tired.
• 50:41
  Um, you know, I'm mixed on it for, you know, in my scenario.
• 50:51
  Yeah, it does help me out on certain days were, you know, one
• 50:55
  of those smaller routes if it's not there, Jay day.
• 50:58
  You know, and we don't have somebody to cover my Ox route
• 51:02
  and I'm running a bigger route, you know, the volunteer to take
• 51:06
  it. So that kind of helps me in that
• 51:07
  aspect, but in the same aspect of it, it's also it's still that
• 51:13
  Band-Aid for being short staffed.
• 51:17
  And, you know, I know in my office I mean, we've done the
• 51:21
  job fairs. You know, we were doing them
• 51:24
  almost weekly there for probably four to six weeks postings are
• 51:30
  up continuously with, there's nobody in the pipeline.
• 51:33
  I thought I had last heard that we have somebody.
• 51:36
  It was supposed to be going for fingerprinting.
• 51:38
  That was over a month ago. So yeah.
• 51:42
  Now we're back down to myself and One of the newer ones.
• 51:49
  So yeah, I don't know I mean it's sad that good help is hard
• 51:56
  to find anymore? Yep it really is.
• 51:59
  Well that's not even good. Just help.
• 52:02
  Well I'm going to say Good Help At this point.
• 52:05
  Yeah, bodies. I mean I get having a body but
• 52:09
  sometimes having a body is more of a bird worse than yes, you
• 52:17
  know, when you have such Hopes for a specific individual and
• 52:23
  it's no matter. You know, they may run their
• 52:26
  primary Route 5 days in a row, but every time they come in, and
• 52:29
  I'm going to use this analogy and I've been using it for a
• 52:32
  while, it's like 50 First Dates for them.
• 52:36
  It's like day one. All over every day that they
• 52:39
  come in on the same route and it's like Groundhog Day for me,
• 52:44
  because I'm having to come in and run whatever Road I'm
• 52:46
  running +, at least half of the other route.
• 52:50
  And it's hard, I mean, I did let, the, I did love know.
• 52:55
  I said, dude, it's just me. And, you know, I said, you got
• 52:57
  to focus, whatever you got to do to focus, please, please do it,
• 53:01
  because it's just me and you At this moment in time.
• 53:09
  So yeah, it's going to be interesting but I told my
• 53:12
  supervisor I said those six leave requests I have which were
• 53:16
  all approved. By the way, I said, only two of
• 53:18
  those are personal. It says, long as I get my time.
• 53:22
  You know, honestly, I don't care at this point.
• 53:24
  If I have to run doubles work, six days a week and then it get
• 53:28
  that time off. I do have a next one next
• 53:31
  weekend off. I'm off Friday through Sunday,
• 53:34
  and that's a personal weekend for me, the following weekend,
• 53:38
  I'm off Friday through Sunday. That is our state spring
• 53:42
  booster. So I don't necessarily put that
• 53:46
  as actually being off, but I won't be in the office.
• 53:49
  And then I don't have time again until May for mid states.
• 53:55
  Yep. Which my issue that I had that I
• 53:57
  talked to Mike with has been resolved so we're good there.
• 54:04
  I will see you there. Yes I will be getting thought I
• 54:11
  was just getting back to the mou.
• 54:13
  I'm really kind of mixed feelings on it because I will
• 54:17
  not I won't talk. I won't I can't find the word.
• 54:26
  I won't get down at any regular who wants to help?
• 54:28
  I'm not that far removed from being an RCA that I don't
• 54:31
  remember that. I don't that, I do remember the
• 54:35
  the 12-hour days. The yeah, the were down five
• 54:39
  routes and there's three of us. You know, and we had a tight
• 54:45
  team and my office. There were there were about five
• 54:48
  or six of us. And we were tight and we knew
• 54:53
  each other's strengths and weaknesses and yeah if we could
• 54:56
  get the we could get the job done.
• 54:59
  So II, don't if a regular wants to help, I've got no I don't
• 55:04
  have a problem with it, the rate of pay and all that aside, you
• 55:10
  know, people say, oh, we should make it double time.
• 55:12
  Just the whole point of it is as long as we have regulars who are
• 55:16
  helping. I feel that it did.
• 55:19
  When one man's opinion. That is long as that's
• 55:24
  happening. The post office doesn't have an
• 55:26
  incentive to hire RCA's and I'm going to bring up what was
• 55:31
  mentioned. So yeah.
• 55:34
  So yeah, I kind of, I moved mixed feelings, you know.
• 55:38
  So we'll just leave it there Josh and I had kind of talked
• 55:41
  about this The phone call Corey Waltons, 8 arbitration the city
• 55:48
  Side podcast, might care if I come on and he was talking about
• 55:52
  because the city side is just gone into contract.
• 55:54
  Negotiations, and he brought up our section.
• 55:58
  In our, in the rural carrier contract that says, you know,
• 56:02
  regulars not having to work anything outside of their
• 56:05
  assigned. Route and he really, you know,
• 56:09
  they would like to see that on the city side.
• 56:12
  And I'm, you know, I'm cutting it down because I don't have the
• 56:15
  article number in front of me but and you know, that's, you
• 56:20
  know, that's something they would like to see on the city
• 56:22
  Side as well, but with the fact that we've had this mou on a
• 56:26
  couple different occasions for six months to a year at a time,
• 56:31
  you know that puts us at the verge of possibly losing that
• 56:36
  and I can't Track negotiation. Yeah with.
• 56:40
  So, you know, think about that people, if they're going to keep
• 56:43
  renewing, this mou that opens it up for losing that protection in
• 56:48
  the contract during contract. Negotiations.
• 56:52
  Think about that with the board members that you have sitting up
• 56:55
  there that will be negotiating. The contract next year, that's
• 56:59
  going to be the board members that you put in place this
• 57:03
  August. That will be, you know,
• 57:05
  negotiating that next contract. And, you know, like I said that,
• 57:12
  that opens it up. It may not be on the resolution
• 57:14
  with wish list, but the fact that we've had this mou for good
• 57:19
  amount of time in a couple different occasions, you know,
• 57:23
  that own sense that door for USPS to say, well, if you want
• 57:26
  this, we can take that, you know, we're going to take this
• 57:29
  protection away from you. Because we've had Mo use this
• 57:33
  whole time allowed. Allowing them to work other
• 57:35
  stuff. So yeah about that.
• 57:37
  That that goes take the volunteer away from that and
• 57:41
  open it up to saying, to me, mandated and yes, yep.
• 57:48
  And an office like mine article. We have where we have Bunches of
• 57:55
  speed demons. Who, you know, they come in,
• 57:57
  they come in at 8:00. And they're done by one.
• 58:02
  Yeah, I've got a couple of and and when the first time the
• 58:07
  first time we had the mou during covid and it you know, clearly
• 58:12
  said voluntary and they turned around 25 regulars.
• 58:16
  The first five back and said you're mandated and they said no
• 58:19
  they didn't even bother with this follow directions and
• 58:23
  relieve later. They just absolutely refused.
• 58:26
  So that's we can volunteer and I don't volunteer you can't man.
• 58:30
  And it actually I believe the ADR back them up.
• 58:34
  This said, yeah, you know what? So and then they did they did it
• 58:42
  with a couple of just converted from RCA to regular and they
• 58:47
  didn't know any better. So they took oh we got to do.
• 58:49
  It is like no and then I explained later it's like, no,
• 58:52
  you don't have to your regular carrier.
• 58:54
  Now you could if you're not volunteering you can say no to
• 58:57
  that. Oh, we didn't know but now you
• 59:00
  do so well. Yeah.
• 59:02
  Like in my office, even if we have a couple of regulars that
• 59:06
  volunteer, oh, they might manage.
• 59:09
  Schmidt has asked the poem If it's okay first.
• 59:14
  Everything goes back to getting permission from the poom before
• 59:17
  they say. Yeah, you can go help or no you
• 59:20
  can't. okay, that was Article Thirty point one point p and the
• 59:28
  actual verbiage is It's p is other world or I'm sorry?
• 59:36
  Other route assignments, a regular rural carrier shall not
• 59:41
  be required to serve all or part of any rural route other than
• 59:47
  his or her assigned route except on brr.
• 59:52
  On providing in Elm section 546. Elm Section 5 4 6 talks about
• 1:00:03
  Limited in like Judy's. Yep and there's the claws of
• 1:00:09
  emergency situation as well but in an emergency situation is
• 1:00:14
  happening. Short-staffed my article Thirty
• 1:00:20
  point one point. P says, no way Jose
• 1:00:47
  but no, but I want, you know, I want people out there to think
• 1:00:49
  about that, you know, the extent.
• 1:00:51
  This mou in the fact that it's not the first time we've had
• 1:00:54
  this mou. And it's not the first time
• 1:00:56
  we've extended this mou over the last three years, this really
• 1:01:01
  opens the door for USPS to be in a position to say, well, hey, if
• 1:01:05
  you want this guess what, because you've had these Mo use,
• 1:01:10
  well, how about we take this away?
• 1:01:12
  Because, you know, they want to say, oh, there's nothing left to
• 1:01:15
  give up. Yeah, people there is then that
• 1:01:18
  is one of them. Especially, you know this this
• 1:01:21
  mou opens that up and imagine on Madsen up there trying to argue
• 1:01:26
  against it. No, yeah.
• 1:01:32
  I just put a screen shot, that was Wrong screen.
• 1:01:38
  That was a. Yeah, that's not what we wanted.
• 1:01:41
  A step for. That was the wrong thing, but
• 1:01:44
  I'll get back to doing 1984. Yeah, you know what you think
• 1:01:49
  about that. Inquiring about their postmaster
• 1:01:59
  at asked about. Requiring them to work, we're no
• 1:02:06
  requiring them to work after this expired.
• 1:02:18
  Are we going then? Poster in the contract Zoom
• 1:02:21
  meeting series. We need to ask if USPS can use
• 1:02:23
  this mou against us. Yeah, they, I mean, we don't
• 1:02:26
  even need to ask they can. Well, during the zoo meeting,
• 1:02:31
  it'll probably be a done deal. It'll be in the contract and
• 1:02:35
  this is something that you know, it won't say.
• 1:02:37
  I won't be a thing that would need to be brought up on the
• 1:02:40
  floor at convention. I want I want to see, I want to
• 1:02:46
  see somebody and if I get to be a delegate, you know, I'll get
• 1:02:53
  up there on the mic. Lord knows.
• 1:02:54
  I got up on the mic and ran in front of everybody for vice
• 1:02:57
  president. I think I'm pretty confident to
• 1:02:59
  get up on the mic and ask a question like this because
• 1:03:02
  honestly I see it as a fact that we've had this mou and a couple
• 1:03:06
  different occasions. It's been extended out on a few
• 1:03:09
  occasions that opens the door for USPS.
• 1:03:13
  Is to say, well why do we still need this in here?
• 1:03:15
  If you're wanting to wait, you know, wanting this, you know,
• 1:03:19
  it's that whole give or take scenario, they keep talking
• 1:03:22
  about well how about we give up this language?
• 1:03:26
  Because while you've been working under this mou for a
• 1:03:29
  year and a half now? Yeah and it don't get me wrong,
• 1:03:33
  I didn't mind it during covid because, you know, we it seemed
• 1:03:37
  to me to be a good idea then. But now it's just your your It's
• 1:03:44
  their inability to hire or refusal to hire, which is, which
• 1:03:50
  is causing the problems right now and then the ability in
• 1:03:53
  ability to retain once they do hire.
• 1:03:56
  Yes. Yes.
• 1:03:57
  And you know, I'm sorry, this fast-track hiring some offices
• 1:04:02
  still management pulls people in for a little one-on-one before,
• 1:04:06
  whatever my manager does not. So you don't know what's walking
• 1:04:10
  in that door. Until they get there and then,
• 1:04:15
  you know, you get, you know, and I'm going to be honest garbage
• 1:04:21
  in garbage out, right? Yes.
• 1:04:23
  If you say you are a retiree looking for a part-time job to
• 1:04:27
  do on the weekends or a few days a week.
• 1:04:29
  This is not the job for you. Yeah.
• 1:04:31
  Go to McDonald's. Come here.
• 1:04:34
  This is not the job for you. Yeah.
• 1:04:39
  And you know that was our RCA that quit was Was was our older
• 1:04:43
  gentleman. Retiree he, you know, was
• 1:04:47
  looking just for so that you know, he didn't need the job.
• 1:04:49
  It was just that little extra income, you know, he's plans on
• 1:04:53
  moving down south where it's warm after her.
• 1:04:56
  His mother's time on Earth is done and They just he wore
• 1:05:02
  himself out that one down, he was back with an evaluation for
• 1:05:05
  the first time. He was back at a really great
• 1:05:07
  time Friday, but he wore himself out.
• 1:05:09
  The weather was crap. We had all that snow but he just
• 1:05:14
  be all like I say. I got that, you know,
• 1:05:16
  notification at 6:15 Saturday morning say nope.
• 1:05:19
  You're on this route now. So I mean which is fine.
• 1:05:23
  It's one of the 42 J routes. I was done by 3:00, I didn't
• 1:05:27
  care. But yeah, it's kind of a
• 1:05:30
  corollary to that. On the mou, the other thing
• 1:05:34
  where they they were pushing, oh this is such a great thing that
• 1:05:37
  we're making, you know, if they fail to hire off so many hiring
• 1:05:42
  list that they make 10% of the office.
• 1:05:44
  Pts. Mmm.
• 1:05:46
  Now I'm all I'm all good about advancing people to Career
• 1:05:50
  carrier. But it still leaves you in this,
• 1:05:54
  but I was like that. Still leaves you in the same
• 1:05:57
  boat, they don't know. Okay, you've just made.
• 1:06:00
  Okay, so now you're paying more pay and benefits these people.
• 1:06:04
  But look at look at my office, okay?
• 1:06:06
  We're at we're at 10%, actually a little more, we have 6 pts, we
• 1:06:13
  have 50 routes, we have 6 pts, you only have five RCA's that
• 1:06:18
  still leaves us, you know that's 11, leave replacements. 450
• 1:06:23
  routes. Yep.
• 1:06:25
  And I'm sure they're going to argue.
• 1:06:26
  Well, if all six if all 6 pts have five route strings, then
• 1:06:32
  you have 30 routes covered like but that still only 11 people
• 1:06:37
  who can have off on any given day.
• 1:06:40
  Yep. Android and I think what one of
• 1:06:43
  the other regulars was telling me is that our level of
• 1:06:46
  replacement is below what they can do on the formula.
• 1:06:51
  So they actually have to Hiring because we it's like we don't
• 1:06:57
  have enough leave Replacements to actually do the formula
• 1:07:00
  properly. Right?
• 1:07:04
  Because of the fact that they are required to have more
• 1:07:08
  Saturday relief and on any other day.
• 1:07:12
  Yeah, that's the point. We're at.
• 1:07:14
  Yep. Yeah.
• 1:07:15
  Because you're not even at a 50% compliment, you know.
• 1:07:18
  Nope. Here barely.
• 1:07:19
  Twenty five percent and yep that but yeah.
• 1:07:23
  And like I said, in my office. Yeah.
• 1:07:26
  Yeah. We only have six rural routes in
• 1:07:28
  an AUX route. And I am the only one in the
• 1:07:33
  office that can run every single route.
• 1:07:38
  And we have 2 J routes 4K routes, to of which have Mondays
• 1:07:44
  and 2A, which have Saturday K days.
• 1:07:48
  Yeah, that, I mean, that leaves. Yeah, not a lot and yeah, it's
• 1:08:02
  It went with one are CA who still has yet to finish their
• 1:08:05
  one primary route? More than halfway through it and
• 1:08:10
  eight hours. I yeah, I don't have any lack
• 1:08:15
  for hours, that's for sure. Nope, I bet you don't and I
• 1:08:20
  remember those days and I you know, but at the same time I was
• 1:08:24
  the only RCA through. I tried from from just Shia,
• 1:08:28
  Thanksgiving all the way up till you know, the first part of
• 1:08:32
  January, when I started training, the new guys, I was
• 1:08:34
  at, I was the only one covering everything running to route
• 1:08:40
  today. Most of the time unless it was a
• 1:08:42
  lighter day. And you know one of the other
• 1:08:44
  guys and it wasn't there. J or k day took the aux route
• 1:08:49
  for me. You know, I was running
• 1:08:51
  Christmas level delivery run into routes a day working 60
• 1:08:55
  hours a week. I still haven't worked anything
• 1:08:57
  less than 45 to 50 hours a week since And yeah, it's it's hard
• 1:09:06
  and that's why I just said, you know, I didn't get my vacation
• 1:09:08
  in last year and I said, as long as I get this time off that I've
• 1:09:11
  requested at this point, I really don't care.
• 1:09:18
  It's it, it's sad. It's, you know, it's burning us
• 1:09:22
  out. It's yep.
• 1:09:24
  And then, unfortunately, you know, and I'm going to say, I
• 1:09:27
  see a lot of the New Orleans that leave because they are
• 1:09:31
  overworked, but in there are some of us that are probably
• 1:09:34
  just going for punishment. Um, That, you know, eight years
• 1:09:40
  and counting. I'm not a regular yet and maybe
• 1:09:44
  I'm just that glutton for punishment, you know what I
• 1:09:47
  mean? And yeah, I have no problem.
• 1:09:50
  Yeah. So the possibility of being, you
• 1:09:52
  know, a regular probably just as National starting or shortly
• 1:09:59
  after National Convention, if she actually does go.
• 1:10:04
  When she first plans to go, So, but then I'm still gonna be
• 1:10:10
  working six days a week because there won't be any relief.
• 1:10:16
  Although the only relief made Regular.
• 1:10:18
  Well, yeah, but getting back to that Chris and I think it's in
• 1:10:23
  the job. Job job description is to work
• 1:10:27
  yourself to the Bone and love it.
• 1:10:31
  I mean, there were date, I mean when you figure in my commute,
• 1:10:35
  you know, people think I'm crazy.
• 1:10:39
  But when I transferred down here, the reason I picked the
• 1:10:43
  offices Literally, because they were the only one who answered
• 1:10:46
  the phone when I was calling around trying to find an office
• 1:10:49
  that would take me as a transfer.
• 1:10:53
  So and I did question, I actually had a supervisor who
• 1:10:58
  didn't think I was going to make it as I live, I'll figure this
• 1:11:02
  out, you know, I just got to adapt to the higher volume more
• 1:11:07
  Parcels FSS, I'll figure it out and after I got through my first
• 1:11:12
  Christmas, I figured it out. But I came closer and that's
• 1:11:17
  what he began drinking. Yeah well I drank anyway, you
• 1:11:23
  know Friday before the Friday after Christmas are five
• 1:11:27
  Christmas Fight. Friday after Thanksgiving.
• 1:11:30
  I almost quit their that well days where I've won.
• 1:11:34
  I mean well but when well the Wednesday before Thanksgiving
• 1:11:40
  when they left me out, when all the RCA's went home, somebody
• 1:11:43
  called me and said, hey do you need Need help and I said yeah,
• 1:11:46
  I could use some help and, you know an hour later.
• 1:11:49
  The PM is calling me saying where why are you still on the
• 1:11:52
  street? I said, because I still got mail
• 1:11:55
  to deliver somebody called me a while ago and asked if I needed
• 1:11:58
  help and no one's come, Yep, and then then the Friday after
• 1:12:06
  Thanksgiving. It was on the other route, they
• 1:12:09
  trained me on and it was 10:30. I had I still had a row and a
• 1:12:17
  half to go. I had some Miss Parcels in the
• 1:12:19
  back and my llv broke out, and I called him up said, hey, the Lov
• 1:12:26
  won't start said, okay, we'll get everything.
• 1:12:28
  So as the rest of the RCA Steve, send it on me.
• 1:12:32
  It was like watching a play swarm of locusts, you know?
• 1:12:36
  Here comes the calvary. Yeah.
• 1:12:39
  Remember those days is a newer RCA and and you know, a truck
• 1:12:43
  out. Yep.
• 1:12:44
  Yeah. Empty, the truck out left the
• 1:12:46
  keys on the tire. When the other RCA's drove me
• 1:12:49
  back to the office and the two-ton.
• 1:12:52
  And I was like, I'm I don't know, I don't know if I can do
• 1:12:56
  this anymore and I walked in. They said, well just get another
• 1:12:59
  vehicle because you got to go out and help a regular who's
• 1:13:02
  behind. And, and I was like, I, I don't
• 1:13:07
  know. I I got hole and that was, you
• 1:13:10
  know, and then I got done at 11:30.
• 1:13:13
  I was home at 12:30, and I was up at for the next morning to go
• 1:13:18
  to my next shift, but then I was just running part and then and
• 1:13:21
  then it was just running Parcels because it was Saturday.
• 1:13:25
  Starting to pay period, we're in parcel delivery mode.
• 1:13:27
  All the RCA's are all the regulars are working.
• 1:13:31
  All the RCA's and running parcels and that and running
• 1:13:34
  Parcels. I got to get the layout of the
• 1:13:36
  Town better. I saw where routes intersected,
• 1:13:39
  I saw how things and then when I came back after Christmas I
• 1:13:43
  started get it started really started.
• 1:13:45
  Click it. So yeah that was you know, as
• 1:13:48
  being a transfer as well in my you know, my reasons, we're
• 1:13:53
  transferring you know a little different but you know I didn't
• 1:13:57
  know this town. I you know for six months I've
• 1:13:59
  been coming over every other Other weekend to visit my
• 1:14:02
  boyfriend and I knew how to get to his house and that was about
• 1:14:06
  it. And yeah it was so there was a
• 1:14:10
  little different learning the routes because I didn't know
• 1:14:13
  where the hell I was at and now II know it all really well, you
• 1:14:18
  know, it's I freaked out my daughter's cheerleading team,
• 1:14:23
  we're all having dinner after competition a couple weeks ago
• 1:14:27
  and my daughters, like my mom knows where everybody lives.
• 1:14:31
  One girls like, well, do you know where I live?
• 1:14:33
  She's like, I'm up behind. She mentioned this bar and I was
• 1:14:35
  like, so, the street and she's like, no, and she gave me the
• 1:14:38
  street number, and I looked at her, and I rambled off her
• 1:14:41
  street number. And she's like, I'm like out by
• 1:14:45
  now, we're here at just because I connected her last name, but
• 1:14:50
  yeah, it's yeah, if you don't know, it's hard as you get
• 1:14:57
  going, but once you get the area down and then, you know, it And
• 1:15:01
  that was the thing is, you know, having only six routes in that
• 1:15:04
  office, it was only this last this last summer, that I
• 1:15:08
  actually learned that last row. And I had ran at once before,
• 1:15:14
  like three weeks. After I transferred in, I had to
• 1:15:16
  take it out on the day after Columbus Day.
• 1:15:19
  Blind DPS, didn't show up until noon that day.
• 1:15:27
  They called us all back to the office to pick up the DPS.
• 1:15:31
  I had just gotten out of the office at 11:15 was only 20
• 1:15:35
  minutes into the route when I got called back and there was 12
• 1:15:40
  trays of DPS waiting for me. And he'll say the postmaster we
• 1:15:46
  had at the time. She's like because I had pulled
• 1:15:50
  down for the llv and not my car. I pulled down into the big
• 1:15:54
  plastic trays and not the tubs for my car.
• 1:15:57
  So what we ended up doing because we were running so far
• 1:16:00
  behind as she took the Lll, be with the flats and parcels and I
• 1:16:03
  took the tool trays of DPS in my car and we leapfrogged each
• 1:16:07
  other until 7:00 that night when she called it and said, all
• 1:16:11
  right, let's go back. We're done, isn't it funny how
• 1:16:17
  they quit before we do? Yeah, I got to say my absolute
• 1:16:24
  worst day was probably the day after Columbus Day.
• 1:16:27
  That's where he just went through like within a month at
• 1:16:34
  most. They had just squared up routes
• 1:16:40
  my regular which was shortly after we got FSS.
• 1:16:45
  And as I mentioned at that point in time, Environmental Education
• 1:16:48
  yet Aw. my rep, my primary, he kept a small subdivision That
• 1:17:01
  was only maybe 60 boxes, the rest of his out, the rest of the
• 1:17:07
  route was brand-new. So at you went down to a j,
• 1:17:11
  route from a k. So I only ran it one, maybe two
• 1:17:15
  timers with the new stuff and then I ended up having to take
• 1:17:19
  half of another route to the street.
• 1:17:23
  It was probably 10:30 at night before I saw the first person to
• 1:17:29
  come help me. Wow.
• 1:17:31
  I think the latest I've ever been out though.
• 1:17:33
  It's been about eight eight-thirty and that was at my
• 1:17:36
  old on. I don't think I actually got
• 1:17:39
  back to the station until after midnight that night and that was
• 1:17:42
  with three other RCA's coming and taking a whole bunch of
• 1:17:45
  mail. Yeah, it's makes it interesting.
• 1:17:53
  But I think we're going to wind down for tonight because we've
• 1:17:56
  already been going for an hour and 17 minutes.
• 1:18:00
  So Mike final words, final comments, final inspiration.
• 1:18:07
  Um, it just if you haven't educated yourself on this our
• 1:18:15
  Trek system, please build bills talked about it, take 5 minutes,
• 1:18:18
  take a few minutes to to look at resources that are out there.
• 1:18:23
  Out there whether you're in the NRL CA or not.
• 1:18:29
  I'm going to I'm going to steal Bill Thunder, you know, it's
• 1:18:32
  only your paycheck and I've said, for a long, I've sent for
• 1:18:35
  a long time that no one should care more about your paycheck
• 1:18:38
  than you. So, have have some care about
• 1:18:42
  your paycheck, this this, what we're going through for the
• 1:18:47
  next. For the rest of this pay period
• 1:18:49
  is not Is not anything like counts.
• 1:18:53
  We've had in the past. So the Management's not fighting
• 1:19:00
  us on stuff like like they used to and a lot of times if you
• 1:19:04
  bring numbers back from the street they're going to they're
• 1:19:07
  going to take it. So don't fudge it.
• 1:19:11
  Play it straight and they'll as long as you're not asking for
• 1:19:14
  something outrageous, they should give it to you.
• 1:19:16
  So, hang in there, we'll get through this and then we'll
• 1:19:20
  About in a couple of weeks or months will hear about the the
• 1:19:25
  stories about what's happened with the when it's all comes
• 1:19:28
  together. Josh.
• 1:19:35
  Just similar sentiments is what Mike said.
• 1:19:39
  I know in the zoom, the in-person training and the
• 1:19:45
  couple is in the dinners that I did with them to for my district
• 1:19:50
  on the Dr. Said that management has been instructed.
• 1:19:55
  By headquarters in District do not argue with the carriers that
• 1:20:01
  it's not even you know this is not enough.
• 1:20:09
  To make a difference. You know, one day down, one more
• 1:20:18
  to go and if things are going like they did Saturday, it'll
• 1:20:24
  just get smoother. But it wasn't that bad like
• 1:20:30
  Christian said earlier, you know, it's nice.
• 1:20:33
  It was nice, not having to wait for.
• 1:20:36
  Any part of your mail to get counted so you can start casing.
• 1:20:39
  It was nice. Not having to wait for a timer
• 1:20:42
  to time you to go load your truck.
• 1:20:45
  Not it was nice. Not having to sit and wait in
• 1:20:47
  line in front of 1510 carriers, who need to get their mail
• 1:20:52
  count, their mail counted, when you come back, Like I say every
• 1:20:59
  week. Don't get overwhelmed.
• 1:21:01
  If you do take a step back, take a deep breath.
• 1:21:05
  And step back in there. Everyone have a good week.
• 1:21:11
  We'll see you next week. Yeah, your turn.
• 1:21:16
  Well, no boats. I'll reiterate, you know what?
• 1:21:21
  You put in the scanner goes into your paycheck, okay.
• 1:21:24
  It goes into your wallet. The only way to get paid for it
• 1:21:28
  is to do it. So please, you know, for the
• 1:21:32
  sake of your income, your family, your budget, anything
• 1:21:38
  else that you have in mind in regards to how you run your
• 1:21:42
  household if you don't do it, nobody will and Don't do it.
• 1:21:47
  You're not going to get paid for it.
• 1:21:49
  So, folks. Yeah, do your job.
• 1:21:52
  Do what you're supposed to do? Do it when you're supposed to do
• 1:21:55
  it and, you know, this will be over shortly.
• 1:21:58
  You'll get the new evaluation. They'll be tracking you for the
• 1:22:01
  next six months. Blah, blah, blah.
• 1:22:04
  This is just a sampling. So don't get all stressed out by
• 1:22:08
  it, okay? Be careful out there.
• 1:22:12
  They attention what you're doing on the road.
• 1:22:14
  Watch for kids and dogs and other car.
• 1:22:16
  Cars and everybody else, you know, don't get stressed closet
• 1:22:21
  because at the end of the day, you're the most important
• 1:22:24
  delivery get home to your loved ones.
• 1:22:26
  And don't worry about the post office will be there tomorrow
• 1:22:29
  with or without you and take it from someone who's a short timer
• 1:22:34
  and can walk out of the office every day and say I'm done I
• 1:22:38
  don't because I still have the people there to protect, that's
• 1:22:41
  my duty my responsibility and I take that seriously, you know?
• 1:22:46
  The people, you know that I like for people, I love and even for
• 1:22:50
  the people, I don't like, I put my ass out there for them every
• 1:22:54
  day because that's my responsibility.
• 1:23:00
  Absolutely and RCA's out there. This is your paycheck to.
• 1:23:05
  We run all those routes we want, you know, like ice.
• 1:23:10
  Like I've said in the past if you're one of those RCA's that
• 1:23:14
  doesn't get 40 hours a week that evaluation is your paycheck for
• 1:23:19
  those routes that you run. And I always say that because
• 1:23:24
  after 40 hours a week, we go on over time and that's just what
• 1:23:27
  my paycheck looks like a Any more on a regular basis, even
• 1:23:30
  though I'm an assigned, a 17-hour we Cox route.
• 1:23:36
  It's, you know, take a minute if you're a newer RCA and you're
• 1:23:41
  like, I don't know what all this stuff is.
• 1:23:43
  I just do. I have to clock in clock out,
• 1:23:46
  depart to unit returned, to unit start loading load, look at
• 1:23:50
  those other scans and, you know, that trip to door when you have
• 1:23:54
  to go to that door more than once to deliver Parcels.
• 1:23:58
  The unscannable A parcel business close-hold mail.
• 1:24:01
  If you got piece count of eight or more, that's an unscannable
• 1:24:04
  parcel, or Parcels. I don't have scans on them for
• 1:24:08
  whatever reason, or not, whether it's metered or the barcodes
• 1:24:11
  destroyed or whatever, you know, look at those extra ones, you
• 1:24:16
  know, if you're stop me, you're talking to a customer about, you
• 1:24:19
  know, they're asking a postal off postal questions.
• 1:24:22
  That's a rural region. My opinion.
• 1:24:26
  You know, there are those other scans in there that definitely
• 1:24:28
  make A difference again. My favorite 12.
• 1:24:33
  Forget about is postage due. We have quite a few of those in
• 1:24:36
  our office and that's the one I tend to forget about the most
• 1:24:39
  Advil is, is coming up, Tuesday. You're ripe, plums, em.
• 1:24:42
  Sparks whatever you call them, whatever you get that we not
• 1:24:47
  every day. Yeah, you know, that's a box
• 1:24:50
  holder. That's a flat.
• 1:24:52
  You know, put the make sure, you know the routes are getting
• 1:24:55
  right? If it's a dress, it's a wfx.
• 1:24:58
  Yes, it is. If you've got more than one in a
• 1:25:01
  day, put them both in there. You know, make sure that, you
• 1:25:06
  know, check those extra ones out and find out what they're for.
• 1:25:10
  I make sure all my new RCA's that come in.
• 1:25:13
  I give them the wreck sync. Tivity scan guide, each one of
• 1:25:17
  them gets a new one here. This is yours.
• 1:25:19
  Read it. If you have any other questions
• 1:25:21
  I used to have / notes of the cheap pamphlet print out for
• 1:25:28
  what. All the wreck scans were.
• 1:25:29
  And when that first First got implemented, and I gave that to
• 1:25:32
  the newbies, you know, ask for that stuff and maybe somebody in
• 1:25:35
  your office does or again, in RLC a website, has it all as
• 1:25:39
  well, as roll info, United, We scan, you know, if you don't
• 1:25:44
  have it, you don't see something that's listed, you can message
• 1:25:47
  us. You can email us jumping on her
• 1:25:49
  Discord to be more than happy to point you in the right
• 1:25:52
  direction. If you need it.
• 1:25:54
  I, you know, I am very passionate about this job.
• 1:25:57
  It's one of the few things I've been this passionate about Out
• 1:26:00
  as we you know all of us on here are and that's why we do this is
• 1:26:05
  to help educate you. Yes we have her bitch sessions
• 1:26:08
  but you know we all got to get that out.
• 1:26:11
  But on that note guys you know 11 more days of many mail
• 1:26:16
  survey. It's simple.
• 1:26:17
  Don't overthink it evaluations will be out in a few weeks and
• 1:26:22
  we'll see what this is doing. And if you're only doing those
• 1:26:25
  six required scans, It's going to affect you so make sure that
• 1:26:30
  you're like, oh shit, I got it. I better be doing that correctly
• 1:26:33
  because that's going to affect you know that could possibly
• 1:26:36
  affect the next one in six months and a year from now, you
• 1:26:40
  know, this is here to stay and on that note says definitely pay
• 1:26:45
  attention to what you're doing because that is your paycheck
• 1:26:47
  and none of us can stress that enough.
• 1:26:50
  But out there be safe, I know some areas are expecting some
• 1:26:54
  more snow, you know, be safe out there.
• 1:26:57
  Their pay attention. And on that note, we will talk
• 1:27:01
  to you again next week.
