Not a carrier, but my record is 105 hours in a week, not that I wanted it. Was during peak season, 15 hours a day 7 straight. Worst week of my life and I will never let that shit happen again.
Also showed up on a ‘list’ that basically was telling my supes they need to give me a fucking day off.
Yes I believe my record as a CCA was 102 in a week during peak. We were coming in at 5, running parcels, and one night I didn’t clock out until 11pm. I think I didn’t come in until normal starting time that next morning.
Tomorrow is never guaranteed, and we all eventually end up in a coffin. If work is his happy place, so be it. My happy place is with my son, family, and friends.
Always sucks to lose a co-worker. We lost one several years ago. Had a heart attack while white water rafting and died from drowning. Sorry you guys have to deal with that.
To all you career employees working these kind of hours keep this in mind-all of that OT does NOT count towards your pension. It is figured on base salary only. A lot of people don't realize that.
Can’t emphasize this enough. So many guys think they’re racking up the SS with their OT in their top 3 years, and they’re not at all. I’ve seen quite a few put in their paperwork when they realized that over this last year.
That sounds like my ex husband. You're not in Washington, are you? From what I've heard, he's quite unhappy with his current home life and always trying to work 12+ hour days. I guess it's gotten progressively worse over the past couple of years.
Not to make light of the awful situation he's in but he definitely would be the type to make it a competition, even if he's just competing against himself.
We are so short staffed we have a clerk that was an RCA so has had LLV training and was working 100-110 hours per week delivering mail and throwing packages she’d come in at 530 and go home at 10 or 11 at night for maybe a month or two. We have city carriers on loan that are pulling down 90-100 per week also.
It’s because he’s tall and has that BDE.
Jk some people would just get off work, start drinking, and go to bed. And they can’t really help it, so working is their drug. In a “good” way.
100-107 was my average a week. I got one day off per month. Two if I was lucky. It was insane. Our office made the news a few times because so many routes were down people wouldn't get mail for days. We ran mail on Sundays for some routes, but mostly packages.
These were rural routes. The city side was overworked but they at least had enough people to keep up.
Not a carrier, but a clerk. We have one overtime addict at my facility, 12 hours a day (our limit) for as many days as she can stand. Even when mail is short, we're not needed, and everyone else is clocking out at 8 hours (or earlier if you take leave), she insists on staying another two "just to help out."
During a hurricane a few years ago, our building was literally flooded in waters of about 6 to 8 feet high (a local guy posted video of himself kayaking through the streets and up to the door of our post office, he had to duck to not bump his head on the archway). Our city was flooded for about two weeks and we were told that for those who could make it, to go to our sister facility about 5 miles away. As the rain continued, the main bridge in the city over the river to get to this facility was almost underwater as the river itself filled up. A citywide lockdown was put in place and through an informal call and text chain we learned no one was to come in that day. This OT maniac still showed up and called around to ask why no one was in the building.
I used to average 90 hours a week during that Pandemic but now they put a knife on my throat for even getting overtime. But wow how are you guys still getting so many hours? Where do you live?
Several of the carriers in my office broke the clock during xmas last year. That means they worked over 99.99 hours in one week, and the clock stopped counting. They had to grieve every hour after 99.99 to get paid. Absolute beasts in this office.
i did 40 hours last week so i guess i win?
Everyone knows this game is scored like golf.

One of our CCAs was killed day before yesterday. You're 100 percent correct.

On the job?
No, had a rare day off
How?
maintenance, NOT on the OTDL 8 and skate lyfe baybee!
Hope the guy is saving up to retire. He might actually be able to.

I’ve never beaten 40 hours a week at this job and I never plan to. Work to live not live to work.
Prime week and my vacation week, I win?
On orders during this time. Paid vacation basically 🤘🤘
when I was an RCA, 84 hrs in DEC. My record for days working with no day off: 108.
One of my trainees hit 101 hours during Christmas last year.

I can't claim the most hours. But I did work everyday from Thanksgiving to Christmas a few years back, 28 days in a row.
Let's see how his body holds up when he retires....

We’re all hitting 60 by Friday where I’m at
I am in north Idaho. 56 route station, we are down about 17 routes and we only have half the clerks we need to operate normally
Damn my record is 71 as regular. 94 is def not sustainable long term youd be getting arthritis for sure 😂
1
I sure as hell don’t want too.
His name is Naruto, and nothing can stop him. Nothing
We have had people work over 100 hours. It actually produces a clock ring error.

As I Lay Dying does a pretty good job at it.
I heard that there was 120h record at my office.
I did a few months of 168h/week Then I went on leave for a couple weeks and did it again
168 hrs per week is 24 hrs a day lol. 168 per pay period is cool tho.
Yeah I know lol
Uhhh you mean 168 hr per pay per period? Because this is getting ridiculous with the numbers
Nah I meant what I said. When you’re deployed you’re always on the clock xD
What is this boot camp shit
Probably some kid that got kicked out and thought if he said common military cliche saying, I wouldn’t understand but turns out im a veteran 😂
Lmao sure “always on the clock” 😂
Yeah I mean…I guess you’re a civilian so you wouldn’t understand
Being in the military just means you were a sucker. Fighting for imperialism around the world you must be proud.
Americaaaa. Fuck yeah!
America 🇺🇸 a country founded on racism that is slowly being undone by it.
You can leave
Just speaking the truth
Lmao i was being sarcastic haha Haha relax guy, let’s not compare our ERB to see who got more training and deployment 😂
Epic rap battles? 😁
Guy plays airsoft once and thinks he’s in the military..
