Reminds me of one of my cousins... he worked at a letter carrier. Ok.
Better than hanging out in bars. Then, the PO offered him a
promotion. He turned it down because he thought it might be too
stressful. He's still a carrier 10 years later. Now that's ambition
and drive... er, walk mostly.

I know what you mean. I have had uncles who worked for the railroads
in Florida turn down promotions to supervisor and substantial pay
raises because they didn't want to give up their union membership.



He would have remained union. He just couldn't take the "stress" of a
desk job. lol

Bull****



?? Are you calling me a liar? I'm sorry if you don't like the facts, but
those are the facts. He was offered an inside job, but thought it would
be stressful.

You were the one who stated my uncle would have been able to take a
promotion to supervisor and remain in the union. That was simply untrue.
Rather than call you a liar, I replied with "Bull****". Either way, you
didn't speak truthfully.



Huh? I never said anthing about your uncle. I was talking about my cousin.
See above.
