🤯🤯🤯Complaints of the Week #2
*woke up to this in the DMs*

Yo need help USPS Stories of Misdeeds and History:
I'm a City Carrier in Ohio. For about three months, a beautiful lady on a mountain bike would ride past me early in the morning on my route. After a month she smiled and said, "I see you every day."
Then she started singing — "You got something for meeee, Mr. Mailman?" — every time she saw me.
I didn't even realize she lived on my route because she doesn't get much mail. One afternoon she saw me on her neighbor's porch and waved me over. I wasn't really thinking, so I walked over. She pulled me inside to the couch and said that line again: "You got something for me Mr. Mailman?"
Before I could deliver her what she been asking for or anything actually happened — I swear, not even first base — a Cadillac comes zooming into the driveway. She panics. I panic because she's panicking. She says, "You gotta go out the back!" So I run out the back door, satchel and all, thinking the coast was clear.
Turns out her fiancé has cameras ALL through the house. He took the footage to my Post Office and filed a complaint.
I told my manager she was trying to get freaky with me after I gave her a left notice, but my manager says I still have a PDI this week. How? What rule did I break? Am I in trouble?

**He needs our help y’all** this is cray😳

THE STAMP AMERICA COULDN'T STOP BUYING
Clue #1: It's the best-selling commemorative stamp in U.S. Postal Service history.
When it dropped, the post office printed around 500 MILLION copies and people still lined up around the block to get it. It reportedly became the most successful commemorative release in post office history. 
Clue #2: The person on it is the ONLY American to ever get TWO solo commemorative stamps from USPS.
One in 1993... and a second one in 2015. 
Clue #3: For the first time EVER, USPS let the public vote on the design.
Young and skinny Vegas-era? Or older, jumpsuit-era? America chose.
When the second stamp came out in 2015,
So... who is on the most popular commemorative stamp ever?

COMPLAINT OF THE WEEK
🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯
I just got an Ereassigned from The RPDC to a small station in GA . The issue is I just found out, the married Postmaster at my workplace was involved in a personal relationship with one of the clerks. The relationship is known to at least some people at work. At some point, the relationship ended, although I do not know the circumstances.
The clerk is now upset about the situation. I cannot verify her feelings or motives, but she has expressed concerns about the Postmaster’s availability during work hours.
She has observed that he is sometimes away from the workplace. (He may be attending meetings, conducting business elsewhere, or handling other work-related responsibilities, but I do not know) . She has been paying attention to when he arrives and leaves and has said that she may report to the OIG that he is “never at work.”
It is unclear whether she is raising a good-faith concern about his attendance, reacting to the end of their relationship, or both. Her personal involvement with him could be relevant, but it does not by itself establish whether her concerns are accurate or whether they are retaliatory. She recently asked me for a statement but I don’t want be involved in ANY DRAMA😡😡
What should I do?????
Let’s talk about it!!

WHAT TYPE OF POSTAL BOSS DO YOU LIKE?
Because Let's Be Honest - You Don't Have A Boss, You Have A Personality Type With A Scanner. It's called D.I.S.C. Assessment
And today we are talking about Dominant and Influential we will do S C later
The D - Dominant and the I - Influential.
One will write you up for breathing wrong. The other will be your best friend until you need something for real.
Which one is worse? You tell me.
1. THE DOMINANT BOSS - AKA "THE PITBULL"
You know him the second he walks in. Clipboard in hand, door slams, no "good morning." Just "WHY ISN'T THIS DISPATCHED?"
This is the boss who lives for numbers. DPS, FSS, 3999s, on-time scans. He doesn't manage people, he manages the clock.
THE POSITIVE TRAITS (Yes, They Exist):
**He Gets Sh*t Done.** When the Dominant boss is in charge, upper management backs off. He fights District for you without telling you. Need a vehicle repair? Approved. Need that 8-hour medical restriction honored? He will make it happen, because his numbers depend on you being there.
He Is Decisive. No 20-minute huddle about who is taking what piece of the route. He tells you. You go. Day over. He will never leave you hanging wondering what the plan is.
He Protects His Winners. If you work hard and don't complain, the Pitbull will protect you like family. He hates lazy carriers more than you do.
He Doesn't Do Fake. No pizza parties to cover up forced overtime. He will tell you straight: "We are short, you are working 12." You respect it even when you hate it.
THE NEGATIVE TRAITS (The Reason Everyone Calls the Union):
Fear Is His Management Style. Everything is a threat. "I can give you a letter for this." "You want to go home? I'll give you a 7-day." He thinks intimidation equals motivation.
Zero Emotional Intelligence. Your kid is sick? Your car broke down? He hears it as an excuse. He will argue with a carrier in front of customers and think he won.
Micromanager From Hell. He will follow you on street with his personal car. He will text you: "Why are you stationary for 4 minutes?" He lives on the Telematics report.
Burns Everyone Out. Including himself. The office has 100% turnover under him, grievances stacked to the ceiling, and everyone walks in stressed.
If your boss says "I don't care how you feel, I care what the numbers say" - you have a Dominant.
2. THE INFLUENTIAL BOSS - AKA "THE BEST FRIEND"
This is the cool boss. Laughs loud, knows everybody's name, kids' names, what you did last weekend. Brings donuts. Says "My door is always open, bro."
And it is... until you actually need that door to be open.
THE POSITIVE TRAITS (Why Everyone Loves Him at First):
He Makes Work Fun. For 10 hours of hell in rain, snow, and dogs, this boss actually makes the building light. He jokes, he motivates, he will hype you up before the street. Morale goes up when he is there.
He Has Your Back Emotionally. Bad day? He will listen. Customer yelled at you? He will go off on the customer for you. He makes you feel like a human, not an employee number.
He Is a Master Communicator. He can talk his way out of anything with upper management. He can sell a terrible pivot plan and make you almost feel good about it. Carriers who shut down for other bosses will actually run for him.
He Creates Loyalty. People will stay at a bad station just because the I-Boss is there. He remembers your birthday. He will let you slide on a bad scan if you are honest.
THE NEGATIVE TRAITS (Why Everyone Hates Him Later):
All Talk, No Action. He promised you that day off 3 weeks ago? Forgot. Promised to fix your case? Still broken. He is amazing at promising, terrible at paperwork.
Favoritism King. He has his 3 favorites and everyone else. If you are in the circle, you get the easy loop, the overtime you want, the long breaks. If you are out, you get cased into oblivion.
Avoids Real Conflict. He will never correct the lazy carrier who is dumping his third bundle every day, because he doesn't want to be disliked. So YOU have to carry it.
Two-Faced and Gossipy. He tells you what another carrier said about you. He tells that carrier what YOU said. He keeps the office divided with drama, then acts shocked when there is drama.
If your boss says "We're family here" but can't get your pay adjustment fixed in 6 months - you have an Influential.
SO WHICH ONE DO YOU PREFER?
Name your best boss. We’d love to hear that ゚

🔥GOAT : TUPAC WAS A USPS MAILMAN AND NOBODY TALKS ABOUT IT 🔥
You thought Tupac was just a rapper? Nah. Before he was beefing on wax, 2Pac was delivering YOUR MAIL.
Yes, for real.
In the 1993 classic POETIC JUSTICE, Tupac Shakur played Lucky - a charismatic postal worker who drives a USPS mail truck from South Central L.A. to Oakland. 
The whole movie? Grieving poet Justice (Janet Jackson) can't get to Oakland, so she catches a ride on a mail truck with her friend and her friend's postal worker boyfriend... plus his co-worker Lucky (Tupac). 
Tupac Shakur - the same dude who made "Hit Em Up" - was in uniform, sorting mail, arguing in the back of a mail van, falling in love.
WHY THIS IS THE MOST USPS THING EVER:
1. He was a CITY CARRIER WITH ATTITUDE - The IMDB description literally says: "Grieving hairdresser goes on a road trip... alongside an obnoxious postal worker." That's every PTF at your office. 
2. He drove an LLV before it was cool - In 1993 those Grumman LLVs were only 6 years old. Brand new. Tupac had AC that actually worked. Today's carriers are jealous.
3. He delivered mail AND poetry - My man went from "Dear Mama" to "Dear Customer, your mail is here at 3PM." Legendary range.
No wonder Tupac was so mad in his songs. He did a full mail route in L.A. traffic in July with no AC, then had to listen to Janet Jackson read Maya Angelou poems in the truck for 8 hours straight. I'd make a diss track too.
Let's be honest - Tupac as a mailman had better work ethic than half the managers today. He showed up, did his route, delivered to Oakland ON TIME, and still had energy to pull Janet Jackson. Your supervisor can't even get you a 2-hour pivot approved.
And Janet Jackson was COMPLAINING about him being obnoxious? Ma'am, he is a USPS employee who just worked 12 hours, it's 95 degrees, and you are in his truck. Of course he's obnoxious. He's on his 3rd loop.
If Tupac was still alive, do you think he'd still be at the Post Office with 31 years seniority, maxed out on annual, telling the new CCAs "Back in my day..." or would he have quit and gone full-time rap?
City carriers - would you have wanted Tupac as your shop steward or would he have been too wild? 👇
Drop a 📬 if you knew 2Pac was USPS before today. I bet 90% of y'all didn't!

Complaint Of the Week🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯THE FIRST WINNER
Texas….This is from a 10-year city carrier. "10 Years with USPS – And We're Tired" 
"We're tired. We lost carriers to heat stroke. We have NO AC in our trucks, we're harassed over uniforms and return times, and they scapegoat us when mail is late. Zero recognition for National Postal Worker Day." My fellow workers say " I need to start putting myself and my health over money" while my friends who retired say "Retired after 37 years, we had no problems doing our jobs. It's not for everybody!!
"We have heat deaths, no AC, 12 hour days, and management gets bonuses while we get write-ups."

💨💨💨This is THE most insane LLV ever built and you need to see the history behind it 👇
MAIL VAN MONSTER - THE STORY
That photo you see? That's a Grumman LLV - the same truck your mail carrier drives - but someone slammed it to the GROUND, threw gold wheels on it, cut the hood off, and stuffed a giant TURBO engine in it. From 0-60 in maybe "you're fired" seconds.
This is the most disrespectful, beautiful thing ever done to a mail truck.
BUT HERE'S THE SHOCK HISTORY OF THE REAL GRUMMAN LLV:
This little aluminum box is an American LEGEND.
1. Built to Die in 24 Years... Still Alive After 38.
The Grumman LLV entered service in 1987. LLV literally stands for Long Life Vehicle because USPS designed it to last 24 to 30 years. It was supposed to be retired in like 2011. It's 2026 and there are still 140,000 of them on the road every day. 
2. It's a Chevy S-10 in Disguise.
Under that ugly aluminum body? It's a Chevrolet S-10 Blazer chassis. The engine? The infamous GM Iron Duke 2.5L 4-cylinder - an engine so unkillable they put it in everything. Later ones got a 2.2L. That's why that turbo swap in your pic actually fits - it's a Chevy truck motor. 
3. They Built Over 140,000 of Them.
Three companies fought for the contract. Grumman + GM won. USPS ordered 99,150 in 1986 for $1.1 BILLION and Grumman ended up building over 140,000 units from 1986 to 1994. 
4. The Worst Gas Mileage, Best Reliability.
15 MPG. On a good day. Downhill. But it will start every morning at -20 in Cleveland, with 300 Amazon packages in the back, and not complain.
5. No Air Conditioning. No Airbags. All Heart.
Original LLVs came with NO AC, no airbags, and a heater that barely works. That's why carriers love to hate it. The company that built fighter jets (Grumman) built your mail truck.
USPS said "Long Life Vehicle" and they MEANT it. This thing has outlived marriages, careers, and 5 iPhone generations.
Controversial take: They should keep building them. The new trucks cost $50k+ and have screens. The LLV has a tray that fits a Monster Energy and pure willpower. Which one do you think is actually getting the mail delivered?
Would YOU drive this slammed turbo MAIL VAN MONSTER to work? 😂👇
Tag a carrier who needs this as their route truck!

🌎 USPS vs THE REST OF THE WORLD - AND WHY AMERICA STILL WINS 🌎
Unpopular opinion: The US Postal Service would BODY every other postal service on the planet. And I have receipts.
People love to trash USPS. But let me put you on game real quick.
1. USPS DELIVERS ALMOST HALF THE WORLD'S MAIL. BY ITSELF.
USPS processes and delivers 47% of the world's mail. Not US mail. WORLD mail. Royal Mail? Cute. Canada Post? Adorable. USPS delivers nearly half a billion pieces A DAY. 
Royal Mail delivers with a fancy hat. USPS delivers with mules, hovercrafts, helicopters, and feet in a snowstorm. Guess who actually shows up?
2. 6 DAYS A WEEK. NO EXCUSES.
USPS is one of only FOUR countries on Earth required to deliver 6 days a week. Most countries? 5 days. Some rich European countries? They quit and went to 3 days a week alternate delivery. Must be nice to take Wednesday off. 
Controversial take: Americans complain USPS is slow, but name another job where you have to walk 10 miles in 100 degree heat AND -10 degree snow, 6 days a week, for $20 an hour, and Karen still yells at you about her Shein package. I'll wait.
3. FASTEST IN THE WORLD - PROVEN.
Economists from top universities mailed 1,590 fake letters to 159 countries to test who returns mail fastest. USPS was #1 in the world, returning letters in 16 days on average. Topped Canada, Norway, everyone. 
So next time someone says "other countries do it better" - no they don't. Science said so.
4. CHEAPEST AND GETS ZERO TAX DOLLARS.
Other countries' mail gets government subsidies. USPS gets less than 0.1% of its revenue from government - it funds itself. And a US stamp is still one of the cheapest in the developed world. 
Joke: Canada Post charges you $20 to mail a box across Toronto. USPS will take that same box from New York to Alaska for $16.10 flat rate. Canada, be for real.
5. THE CONTROVERSIAL TRUTH:
Let's be honest. If you took a Royal Mail carrier and told him to do a USPS city route in Cleveland in February with 300 packages from Amazon, Temu, and TikTok Shop? He'd quit by lunch and fly back to London.
USPS carriers are the most overworked, underappreciated athletes in America. Period. And they do it without free healthcare like those European posts get.
FINAL SCORE:
USPS: Delivers half the planet, 6 days a week, no tax money, fastest returns in the world.
Other posts: 5 days a week, government handouts, and still lose your letter.
I said what I said. Come argue with me in the comments.

🚨 FEDERAL EMPLOYEES: YOU ARE SLEEPING ON FEGLI AND IT WILL COST YOU 🚨
If you think you can just "sign up for life insurance later" - you can't. This is NOT like health insurance.
THE TRUTH ABOUT FEGLI OPEN SEASON:
FEGLI does NOT have an annual Open Season. 
Read that again.
Your health insurance (FEHB) has Open Season every November. FEGLI does NOT.
FEGLI Open Seasons are EXTREMELY RARE. Outside of Open Season, you have to pass a physical exam or have a life event (marriage, baby) to get in. 
How rare? The last two were in 2004 and 2016. That's it. Two chances in 20 YEARS to enroll with NO medical questions. There is NONE currently scheduled. 
If you missed your first 60 days as a new hire and you miss the next Open Season... you could be waiting 12 YEARS.
WHY YOU NEED TO USE IT WHILE YOU'RE YOUNG:
When you're young, FEGLI Basic is CHEAP. It's based on your salary and costs $0.325 per $1000 and does NOT increase as you get older. 
Best part? If you keep it for 5 years before you retire, you can choose the 75% Reduction option and keep it FOR FREE after age 65. Yes, FREE. It's prefunded by the premiums you paid while working. 
That's why young feds should grab Basic on day one.
WHY YOU SHOULD DUMP IT WHEN YOU RETIRE (The Shocking Part):
Options B and C will ROB you in retirement.
Those extra multiples you bought in your 30s? The price QUADRUPLES every 5 years after 50.
Those 5-year price hikes make it the most expensive part of FEGLI over time and prohibitively expensive for most in retirement. 
Example: At age 70-74 you will pay over $2.23 PER MONTH for every $1000 of Option B coverage. If you have $200k in Option B, that's $400+ A MONTH just for life insurance at 70 years old. And it keeps going up.
Most private term policies are 1/3 of that price if you get them while you're still young and healthy.
MY COACH ADVICE FOR USPS / FEDERAL WORKERS:
1. YOUNG (20s-40s): Enroll in FEGLI Basic immediately. It's cheap and sets up your FREE retirement benefit. Add Option B if you have kids/mortgage.
2. NEAR RETIREMENT (50+): Start shopping private life insurance NOW while you can still pass the physical. Compare it to what FEGLI will charge you at 65, 70, 75.
3. AT RETIREMENT: Keep Basic with 75% Reduction (FREE). Cancel the expensive Options and replace with private if you still need coverage.
Don't wait for an Open Season that may not come for another decade.
Did you know FEGLI Open Season was this rare? Comment YES or NO below.
Tag a new federal employee who needs to see this before their 60 days runs out.
