We have a few Posties here, can anyone post a Google Map of their route?
Canada Post - Huge losses
- Thread starter raginduck
- Start date
That seems like a bad idea when you work for a company trying to fail. Maybe if they have a route map for some route they are not associated with.
So now we have a team where the coaches won’t give the players any hockey sticks , tell them to score in regular time , we won’t go into overtime. And a team that aren’t very happy about not getting a stick to try to score and if you complain we will tie your skates together. That sounds like a winning combination.

That door swings both ways.
Verbally 'no OT will be approved.'
I want it in writing.
'No.'
Later that day -
'Why did you work overtime, you were told.'
Prove it.
I once put a huge developer through our company ten-point executive credit application order but was later criticized for doing so. I pointed out that i was only following the directive where item 10 said the above is not subject to interpretations or exceptions.
CEO said I should have used my discretion.
Just because they are a huge developer doesn't mean they are easy to get money out of. If payment was stalled, CEO would have been mad at you for not following the process to prevent such problems. No win situation for you.
Must be getting OT. My mail just got delivered.

I would love to.
Only thing is, is that's a fireable offence.
There is *ZERO* tolerance for taking pictures inside of the depot except for if you're snapping a pic of the header card (basically, your route directions street by street) so you can refer to it when out on route as needed.
I just google mapped a route I am very familiar with. It's 17.5km long (according to the Googlemap measurement tool), never leaving the sidewalks or walking way off the street for back of building business entrances etc etc. An average day would make it 22km. Heavy about 27km. It's an EXTREMELY physical route with massive elevation changes and 170 stories of stairs in total. This is one of the shorter routes due to the physical stress involved.

Still no OT. We have pictures of our portable data terminals' messaging app (posties to supervisors and vice versa, postie-to-postie not possible) showing that OT is denied from several people in my depot. The supervisor who put that into writing yesterday on the messaging app wasn't in the office today... guessing he got a suspension for putting it in writing.
How small would a town have to be to only need one letter carrier? Slot count. I'm trying to envision the ruralish situation.

I’m guessing it would be somewhere around 700-1000 addresses. Anything smaller would be in mail boxes at the post office.
As for rural, they are usually delivered to by nearest large town. They have Rural Route drivers that deliver to farm mail boxes on the roadside etc.
I grew up on Erin approximately 3000 no carrier. Everyone has to go through the post office and ask for your mail at the counter, unless you want to pay for a box you can check when they are closed. Works fine no carriers needed.

St Marys is around 8000 now I think. No door to door.
That's what we had in Manitoba, living in the boonies. I can't recall if they had wanted posters at the PO.
For the planet savers, what is more eco friendly. One driver doing 1000 boxes or 1000 drivers doing 1 box each?
A hundred years ago we didn't have the options of email, texting, fax etc.
Also I have unlimited long distance on my cell phone. Why write when you can call and get an immediate response.
100 years ago it was actual communication being delivered, doubt they had pizza flyers back then...
That's me tracking my NZ package. CP recognizes the Kiwi number but can't pin anything down.
