hi comrades I've been on this site with various accounts since it was a subreddit and I've just returned after deleting my last account a few months back

some time ago I posted about being unemployed for a long time and lacking the motivation to find work and just generally being alienated and having no direction in life. a lot of kind people had great advice, and shout out to the person in particular who suggested postal work, whoever you are! that planted the seed in my brain and the more I thought about it, the more sense it made to me. and now I've just received a job offer to become a mail carrier! I will be out in the real world, serving the public, getting exercise, and most importantly, not having to work for porky

it will be a difficult road ahead, this is a radical change in lifestyle but that's exactly what I needed and I'm looking forward to accepting the challenge

PS any advice from other postal worker comrades is very much welcome, as this line of work is very much new to me!

Good score!

Rural carrier work is a fuck

Messed my back up something fierce doing it

Have a friend who had to pay $2500+ out of pocket to have her own personal vehicle fitted with right hand drive and they cut her like 6 months in. Now she gets to drive on the wrong side of the road!

I had a LLV, but they scheduled me like 60 hours every week and ran me ragged

Constantly shat on me for taking 10+ hours on the route I was assigned when it should have been two separate routes because of the mail density

Final straw was when they had me deliver a team lift package solo (which was what fucked my back up)

All in all, best to stay away from the RC positions unless you know you're gonna get treated right
