[QUOTE="Guitarman01, post: 5684140, member: 90385"] Yeah nope. That's that. Even though it's considered a career position I was still just going to be a fill in driver for 3 different routes and probably sat, Amazon Sunday and basically on call. She said she could keep me busy initially with staffing issues, but after that couldn't guarantee me 40 hrs. She said I could also sign up with other stations. I would also have to drive my own vehicle at their station. Just way too many variables and having a mortgage it seemed risky. I did talk to a carrier I see on my rural rte that's been at USPS for 30 years, so I guess that means my rte at FedEx isn't that bad. But yeah, she said expect 1 day and Amazon Sundays per week. Who can live on that? That's worse than riding it out part time at UPS. For Mail handlers indoors it's the same, you start as just a fill in. They only call it a career because now they offer benefits for some positions probably to try to keep people from quitting or thinking they were going to be full time, like I was. At least it was an easy decision to turn down, even if laid off at FedEx, I won't be looking at USPS as an option in the future. [/QUOTE]
