As a former manager of an RPS terminal (now called FedX ground)..yes there is
a fair amount of stress. Work areas are assigned by zip codes, and some
distant engineer that probably never drove a street or walked through a
neighborhood has determined the number of stops per hour, number of packages
per stop, number of miles per stop, and average time for each of these to let
you know how many stops per day...or packages per day a "person" can deliver.
100% delivery of all stops is expected...that's what we customers pay for,
and if you are older than average, calorically challanged, only somewhat
smarter than a plant, or sick, disturbed, angry, upset at your wife, girl,
car .........etc.............. you can't do it, and someone (used to be me)
will have to call you into the office for a "business discussion".
Yea, it's stressful, and probably more so because it's the best paying job
most of them have ever had, and the stress is from the chance of losing it.
Just my opinion...want to hear about whether I think real postal clerks
actually work that hard???
PS...seems like many of the Postmaster are on witness relocation or
something...JF, where do you work?
