I have a relative who works for the post office.
He says that there are pressures working there, pressures to keep to schedules, deliver and sort mail on schedule, etc.
But he also says that they get good pay and benefits, and he is able to work overtime when he wants, to get even more money if he wants. Otherwise he can just do his regular five day a week work, his choice.
But then, how is that different from any other workplace? Maybe I’m missing something. I’ve worked in office jobs my whole life, in the financial area. Some bosses are better than others, and some jobs paid better than others. But the jobs that paid better also had higher expectations of job performance placed on them.
In short, you get what you pay for. If the post office pays well but has high performance expectations, is that a bad thing???
Well, there is that $46 Billion in losses thingy.
The nerve huh? Being expected to do what you’re getting paid for. Those dang management types just don’t understand. LOL! We had deadlines when I was working and schedules to keep. Only difference was if you repeatedly failed at these, you were lookin’ for employment someplace else. Weird huh?

Can’t say as I ever worked for a company that let hourlies work overtime anytime they wished, or not at all.
