Classes of Mail

In this episode, I talk about Enhanced Carrier Routing (the way mailers put our bundled mail in sequence), and how to deal with it when the routing is wrong. I also go over a recent conflict I had with a supervisor, and that leads to a discussion about malicious compliance.

Chris Persampieri (Next Generation Carriers) and I had a wide-ranging discussion about the fight of organized labor to achieve the 8-hour workday. There were riots, strikes, and social movements that gave workers a share of the wealth being created by industrialization and automation. In the intervening century, we've given most of those gains back.

Michael and I go over PS Form 4588 in detail, so you know what management is looking for, and how you can protect yourself.

*** WARNING: This episode include frank discussions about substance abuse and self harm. *** Austin and I have a VERY candid conversation about mental health, including telling our own stories about struggles with substances and self harm.

Michael and I dive DEEP into a letter of warning for attendance. We talk about how to protect yourself day in and day out, during the investigative interview, and when discipline is issued.
