    I’m closing in on my first year as an MHA and am burned out. It’s taxing on your body, I’m always tired and have no ambition to do anything when I’m home. Quality of life is not there.

    So im hearing that the actual job is cake, its just management and work hours. Dude never served in the military lol. I came from working 24 hour days, waking up at work and not leaving the next day until 7pm, then going home, working the next day another 16 hours, just to go back to 24 hour duty the next day and repeating the cycle. Usps sounds like a cake walk

    I retired after 20, couldnt put up with the BS anymore. Constant battle between supervisors, workers and "non" workers and union. You get punished for doing a good job, your reward is more work. The less work you do the more help you get. When i was a supervisor they told me i needed to write up someone everyday or i wasnt doing my job. I worked in an office with over 100 carriers.

    My Friends older brother works for the USPS. He said not to apply when I was going to. I took his advice. At least his job is training truck drivers so maybe not as bad as route delivery guys.

    I was in the biggest depression of my life working there . Even though I was making money I was still unhappy. No one should have to work that hard 6 days a week. Imo the post office should start letter carriers at $40/HR. Even still the turnover rate is gonna be sky high.

    As a older job seeker without much skills, usps mail carrier is not a bad choice. Everything in the video is true, but you will have to understand how the game is played and what the union contract allows. Nobody in USPS will care about you. Not co workers, supervisors, union stewards , ETC You will have to be your own advocate. First 90 days will be hell. After that, you can cite protection from union contract such as work restriction to 8 hours a day, not working on your day off, etc Once you make regular , it doesn’t get better but it gets easier. Easier routes, schedule, work life balance, etc My only options is working for TSA, bus driver , prisons or usps or homeless shelters USPS has the lowest starting pay but it is the least stressful for me. Bus driving makes $42/hr but you always have to be on high alert and you gain a lot of weight if not careful. I stressed eat a lot from all the driving and heavy traffic. Prison makes $32 dollars but you can die TSA makes $32 but there’s a lot of human interaction and airport environment and being under the public eye USPS only pays $22 but work by yourself 80% of the time For me, usps and tsa were the least stressful job. TSA was a good job too but I’m introverted and prefer to be by myself. Bus driving isn’t bad either but there’s a lot of stress. You can kill a lot of people/accidents. It has happened to a few co workers plus a lot of violence on bus. Never worked in jails. Had option to work in homeless shelter for $60k a year but can get assaulted/disease Those were my choices as an older man with no skills

    The post office is built generally for those without a degree that have no other alternatives. This is how the cruddy mgmt will be able to control an employee. Providing with a loud 1980s vehicle with no.air or heat is despicable

    You SPEAK TRUTH. I WORKED 36YRS. IT TAKES A TOLL ON YOUR FAMILY, KIDS, AND MAKES LIFE A LIVING HELL! IT CONSUMES ALL YOUR LIFE. YOU DON'T SEE YOUR FAMILY, YOU DON'T ENJOY HOLIDAYS WITH YOUR FAMILY BECAUSE YOUR AZZ IS WORKING. WHEN YOU'RE OFF, YOUR SO DARN TIRED UNTIL ALL YOU DO IS SLEEP, TEST JUST TO DO IT ALL OVER AGAIN. MEANING EVEN WHEN OFF YOU DO NOT SEE YOUR FAMILY FOR SLEEPING & RESTING.

    How are litter carriers getting injured on the job and some examples of the stressful things you have to deal with I’m considering this can you answer those questions I’d appreciate it. Thank you.

    • @streetbs3586
      @streetbs3586 11 місяців тому

      The injuries can come from dogs and lifting/delivering things. If you ever feel unsafe, you don’t have to deliver those items. For example, if you have to lift a heavy package upstairs or see a dog on the street, you scan no access. Supervisor will abuse you but you need to understand union contract. Your first 90 days will be HELL. It gets easier after that but not better. But it gets easier. Plus working in the cold snow rain heat sucks If you can survive, it does get Easier but not better Easier routes, easier schedule etc Easy job but stupidvisors will always be hounding. After 90 days, you can get work restriction and only work 8 hours a day. Everyone in the office will hate you but they can’t fire you. You don’t have to answer your phone on your day off. Just got to know the game, you feel me? Get in your truck and listen to music
