Hanging, since we can't count on Congress to quickly give us some kind of refund on any FERS overpayment, it still would depend (maybe) on the CCAs being hired (close to the 33k amount). Can they make payroll in Oct.? With probable route eliminations at my p.o., it sure seems like a path to an early out. Who knows? PMG could just offer a VERA anytime. How about in the summer when volume tanks? The CCAs would have the summer to learn.

There seem to be more cca's being hired. I hope that is a sign of an early out. Donahoe still wants 5 day letter delivery and if that happens, definite EO. I just hope it happens soon.

So what's the feeling here among you all. Do you think an EO is on the near horizon? far horizon? Never? What's the feeling among the members of this forum?

Redshits , where U B ?, Try the 148-149 area, U R dirt/ crap to Bosses, select who they favored, PO needs a complete overhaul and that is what the game is now, NALC and petitions only stall the end game, private PO.

Hangin tough,, I soooo agree with you,, what the heck could the P.O. be thinkin',,, the ship is sinking !!! Offer an early out and back fill the openings with all those young workers who are just waiting to jump on those full time positions. Where I am we have some great young folks with young families that NEED those positions. We have MANY carriers (city and rural) completely exhausted,, waiting for an early out. The stage has been set. Cmon' P.O. make the move !!

Redshift, I changed my post /m46438 a little bit, because my point wasn't clear. I meant if us carriers REALLY BUST our butts due to sick calls, we really forget about it and don't begrudge the carriers who called out sick. I am working with decent supervisors at this moment in time.

CaliCo, some managers accept the human condition and daily crises of workers as part of the daily grind. Actual human beings on the floor.. Salud to the living and breathing among us... Others are cowards and kowtow to their bosses, and slam craft workers, because they've chosen to live on the leverage they can gain by selling out! their ass-busting bretheren day-in and day-out. It's a lie as old as time... We all should make those sell outs obey the law! No mercy to those who want to thrive beyond our labor, on our suffering... It's pathetic. Edited 05-21-2013 04:33 AM

Jarhead, my SINGLE working mom called out sick once while I was growing up (to go to a job interview). I didn't call out sick for the first 18 years at the p.o., but now I regret that. I was intimidated by management, and I didn't want to burden co-workers. I have NO MEMORIES of who of my co-workers were who called out sick. You bust your ass that day and then it is forgotten. I mean you, the carrier, forgets how hard that work day was. Your co-worker didn't make your day hard because they called out sick. Where is postal planning and hiring to cover S/L? We earn at least one day a month, it is smart to save it, but it shouldn't be hell or cause hell on others to use it. Edited 05-21-2013 06:37 AM

Oldie it has already been approved by OPM for Donuthole thru the year 2013. All he has to do is say yes.

Hanging tough- I agree completely !!!!!! Opm has to approve it. Then if there is an incentive, it must be negotiated with Rolando. ( dollar amount).

Many thanks for all the pep talks from all. You can't teach an old dog new tricks.
Have always been an overtime whore and never could figure out where the money goes
but that's the problem with living on Long Island. Just hope to be out of here soon.

My parents brought me up to worry about not the job but what happens to your co-workers
when things go bad. I sometimes worry about banging in on S/L because of what it does
to my fellow employees but that's just me. Everyone has their little quirks and that is
one of mine. And on another note I will now go on record as swearing by those gel shots
for knee pain.. I actually have less pain in my left knee now than my right.. What a deal

It seems that they would already JUMP at the chance to offer the early out, kick us ol' guys & gals out the door, and get some young studs that can move fast with boundless energy and enthusiasm... and for LESS MONEY PER HOUR! I just don't understand what the usps is waiting for while the ship is sinking!

At one of our post offices, SEVERAL carriers (regulars and PTFs also TEs had 8 hour OR FEWER work restrictions) and as a result, more carriers WERE HIRED THERE.

If everyone could get the restrictions what do you think would happen? The mail would not get delivered timely and the pressure would fall on the upper management. They might even offer the early out so they could get the young ones in and get rid of us old farts!
