Greetings!
Life update here!!I quit my job today!!! Seems the USPS is changing up our route schedules. The economy is affecting even the USPS. The schedule that I already run has me working anywhere from 3:00am till 8:00pm. During those hours I only get paid for 6 to 7 hours a day. Since its contract work I only get paid for the actual pickup and delivery of the mail. Once we deliver on the other end (about 80 miles one way) we have to wait all day for the mail to come back in and then we bring that back to the apex here in Pooler (I run from Pooler to Hilton Head Island). Now there are a couple of days a week where I can come home for about 4 hours in the middle of the day. That's not bad, except for the gas to drive back and forth. This goes on 7 days a week in which I work 6 of them. I get the word today that they are cutting a couple of trips and requiring us to stay at the other end all day. No more coming home a couple of days out of the week. Hours will be cut from about 36 to 30. If I counted all the hours that I'm actually out on the job, it adds up to about 80 hours in a 6 day work week, and get paid for only 30… I don't think so!!!!
So once again... if you could keep me in your prayers concerning employment I would really appreciate it. Thank you and God bless.
I'm outta here!!
Peace out!
