[QUOTE="Guitarman01, post: 5676976, member: 90385"] I know I brought this up before, I applied because it sounded a little more unique and rarer from the job postings you normally see for the post office (most are non-career positions). Ive read people can be stuck there as RCAs? or non-career fill-ins for years. I have not talked to one person lol. I dont even have a contact to ask any questions. A few emails, my resume, assessment test, and a license check and they offered me the position. I have 3 days to accept it. No waffling or much time to think like I like to do. Starts at 24.49 an hour, I think tops out at 36 in 13 years? At least you are guaranteed raises and have a union, granted prob not nearly as good as teamsters. lots of federal holidays, I think as career position you dont have to work overtime if you dont want to? idk. Not sure how good fed insurance and retirement is. I think they have a pension, plus a 401k. I believe the Fedex 401k is better with the match. Not sure if ill be driving one of the old ass livs? or something newer with ac like I see on alot of rural routes. Anyways, I have it pretty good at Fedex, prob one of the better rtes. I like most of the people I work with, Managers are good. Im pretty sure the people wont be as cool at the post office, but idk. Obviously so much uncertainty at Fedex, id be upset if I turned this down only to get laid off down the line. Even if not, I do think the sprinters will be leaving and the workload increased with the merge (if I still have a job), while pay will remain the same or less even? with sporadic step raises. If I had confidence that FedEx would do the right thing and offer more competitive, consistent pay to go along with the merge, I would maybe turn down the Post Office, but just like most of you, I dont think I do. Can be hard jumping out of that comfort zone, Thoughts? 3 Friggin days lol. [/QUOTE]
