You were the one who stated my uncle would have been able to take a
promotion to supervisor and remain in the union.

Mike, a friend of mine, was a postman. I asked Mike one day, when there was
a lot of postal workers going postal why they did it. He said it's like no
other job. When you're finished with THIS pile of mail, do THAT pile. You
never catch up.

Supervisors were usually not selected, but only lazy employees who chose to
take the job because no one else wanted it. Supervisors were assigned or
chose the task of pushing workers harder for increased productivity, hence,
they were the objects of the occasional assaults. Particularly when the
employees under them knew that they couldn't do half the work another worker
could do, and were only supervisor because no one else wanted the job. And
that's saying nothing about your uncle, his abilities, or his motives. Just
what a long time postal employee told me.

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.

The USPS has possibly the worst middle management of any large
industrial company.
