    As a truck driver / delivery driver, y'all don't know what those workers go through on the daily, they encounter everything almost. People up to no good in the neighborhoods, dogs, racism etc. yet they still show up and get the job done. There are some posts offices that still pay $15 an hour in rural areas. I don't know about y'all but I know this country has a lot of rural areas. What happened in Chicago to that postal worker who was murdered, happens so much unfortunately. People are up to no good everyday, a lot of y'all see these people because they steal people's packages. Also the conditions at some of these post offices are unheard of, no air conditioner

    Taxpayer dollars DO NOT fund postal workers. The sales of postage stamps is what funds the postal service and no one is buying stamps. That's the main reason they are operating at a deficit; the employees get paid regardless of how many stamps they don't sell. And when you're an organization of 650k strong with over a hundred thousands of vehicles in your fleet... thats a tough budget to manage.

      Not entirely true. I'm a postal employee of 20 years. The post office is not suppose to receive tax dollars but as of 2020 the postal reform act was passed to give the post office billions of dollars in relief. Its basically a bail out. In return the employees must join all other federal employee health plans which postal employees will find out this year it will be more expensive.

      The only reason why the Postal Service needed any assistance was because they were being forced to pre-fund their retirement packages decades and decades and decades into the future.
      That is not a bailout. They are simply giving them their own money back.
      President Bush and Congress at that time severely handicapped the Postal Service. They have been paying for it ever since. This is the fact that President Trump himself didn't understand and has contributed to the fall of the Postal Service unintentionally.

      Here's the deal on the postal deficit.
      We are self-funded thru stamp and service revenue. Due to a Bush era rule, our retirement plan had to be pre-funded 75 years in advance (to fund the govt slush fund) During government shutdowns, they would "borrow" from the funds interest free to keep essential services solvent. Since the pra of 2020, our deficits have been mostly caused by fleet replacement costs (did you know postal tractors now have automatic transmissions?) and the added costs by this administration forcing a higher percentage of the nearly 100k vehicles used daily by letter carriers being replaced as we speak be ev's.

If you're a carrier or a mail handler you may be able to get overtime, but that's it. You can't live on OT because you may not always be able to get it and its truly exhausting. Also the benefits are average at best. Nothing exciting at the PO. DO NOT BE FOOLED! & 401K for the PO is TSP (thrift savings plan) for gov't workers. The only ones doing ok at the PO are those that have been there for over 15-20 years.

      Sir, actually you're incorrect, the Post office had always been operating in the black until 2006. It's was never tax payer funded. It operated in the black selling products and services. Please do your research before stating half trues and incorrect info The Post office was the only Federal agency forced to prefund it's retirees healthcare insurance years in advance, also the decline of first class mail due to the internet was it's down fall. When the young lady was referring to matching she meant we have a matching TSP which is a gov 401k. Postal employees also have a pension after being vested. It is true that newer employees are under a lower pay scale but it's competitive. Most people don't live on a budget so it doesn't matter how much you make, you'll still live check to check. I started working for the postal service in 2008 as and still a custodian making about $40,000 a yr. My base pay in 2024 is about $75,000 shift diff, Sunday premium but I make over $100,000 because I work overtime. My net worth is over one million because I live on a written budget an max out my TSP every year including catch up contributions in an S&P 500 index fund in my TSP. It's not what u make but what u do with it. 22:16 22:16

    Former postal worker- What I've noticed is back in the day a lot of workers relied on OT which in a lot of places was available in abundance. These days a lot of places have curtailed/ cut out OT. Also the po is top heavy with management- people who make six figures (or close to it) and never touch mail. Question: How does an entity that loses billions of dollars have funds to acquire new vehicles (which are needed) and technology? Majority of workers belong to unions so the po will be around as those unions funnel $ to politicians. Think about it - when stamps and services were much cheaper the po was way more efficient. Letter mail & junk mail was more prominent(and profitable) then than now. At this point it seems the po is a dinosaur on life support. All The Best!

    Quite simply, women are often "broke" because things that most men consider to be luxuries, women consider to be non-negotiable necessities.
    Such as:
    - Living without roommates, in a trendy, upscale area
    - Regularly going to the salon for hair and nails
    - Starbucks or its equivalent every day, sometimes multiple times daily
    - Regular dining out
    - Regular meal-delivery app usage
    - Need newest iPhone
    - Need to buy a German luxury car above their pay scale
    - New clothes regularly (as a comparison, I have maybe three pairs of jeans and two business suits for work I've owned for years and they all still look new because I take care of them; the only clothing items I need to replace semi regularly are running shoes, socks, and underwear, and even these, maybe a couple times a year)
    - expensive vacations they put on the credit card
    - buying ready-made meals and other pricey items at Whole Foods and its equivalent
    On and on and on.
    A man can earn 60k a year and feel like he's upper middle class by his own standards, and have enough left every month to save some. A woman will feel that 60k is poor people money, spend every penny and go into debt every month on the same salary.

Yes you work a lot but it is worth it in the end because once you become a regular or career employee, you can never get laid off even in a pandemic or Great Depression Gotta Thank the unions for that.

When my pops transferred from the Department of Defense to USPS, he started as a mail carrier. Wasn't making any money. Once he got at the P&DC and got into maintenance, he made nice money. When my mom transferred from the DoD to USPS, she went straight into maintenance at the P&DC, and was making hella bank. You gotta know how and where to move in the USPS to make a bag.

    We were 50% staffed for months during the COVID Delta surge and we worked 50+ hours weekly for no overtime pay.

    Once you realize you aren't happy at a job, leave... Don't stay there an extra day, month, year if you know you aren't happy for whatever reason. You decide you work for the company, no company called you and ask you to apply or keeps you hostage.

    Heavy on Better Careers! My mom was at her job for 4 years before she realized they had tuition reimbursement. They paid her tuition for her to finish her bachelors and work towards her masters in BA at the state university. I constantly have to remind them that the end goal is probably worth more. My mom is doing the same job she could be doing for another company for much more, and she has received better offers. Personally, I go where the money goes. I’m 28 with multiple degrees and no travel restrictions, in the legal field, so when people ask me what I do I literally tell them I did what made sense and what benefited my long term goals. If I was In my mom’s position, I would do what made sense. As an adult, I do what makes me happy and still benefits my long term goals. I had to sacrifice a lot of youth to get here but it was worth it, especially to be in my position.

    You're wrong dude. The post office doesn't run off taxes. Stop the cap. Postal employees make about 20% less than other government agencies. How much did the military make last year? Or did it cost the taxpayers 800 billion? USPS is a public service, not a private business. The carriers are currently almost 2 years without a general wage increase, while dealing with the highest inflation in decades. It's your opinion if you think people don't need more money, but i think the numbers could suggest otherwise

But you obviously have not been to a laundry matt lately. I susually do blankets and pet beds at the laundry. Folks beware, that's what a lot of folks do. I see people come in and use 20+ washers at once because they have saved up their laundry that long. At nearly $5 per load that's just crazy money to give a laundry matt.

    Postal workers are paid based on years of service. Starting salary is about 20 dollars an hour. Workers with 10 or more years in service are paid close to 25 and 30 an hour. With paid overtime, you can make 70 thousand dollars a year.
