was a time when the USPS was very difficult to get into as far as jobs went.

of course, they hired vets and former Peace Corps Volunteers.

the USPS had long ago become a haven of slovenly fools, deadbeats, lazyassed SOB's that feed off the system

The post office can't hire enough people now. Right or wrong, they go through the interview process and the good prospects are found, approved, and sent to fail a drug test for smoking a legal substance two months previously.

Vets get preference. They hire alot of vets.

It might be legal in a state “but” it’s still considered illegal on the federal level.

Yes veterans get points added on for their service. Honestly there is nothing wrong with that in my opinion. My mail lady said she was a Seabee.
 
My son works for the post office. He was hired on less than 6 months ago. He is not a veteran, but he has 2 bachelor's degrees, and 1 master's degree. At the time he was hired, there was another person hired. He was a veteran. My son told me he was let go about a month ago for being too slow.

I just retired a few months ago as a federal civilian employee of The Department of War (I love the new name). I always used my disabled veteran's status when applying for federal jobs. It helps.

well that's what ticked me off...several years of good work ethics, HS grad (that was a requirement), non-drinker, non-smoker, never used drugs, always passed a "pee-test", but never hired by the A-Holes.

yet, i see nearly each day, slovenly dressed postal workers, ignorant in thier talk, many times (the men) unshaven faces..

as a trucker, i always wore "work uniforms" from either Wrangler, or Dickies, or Wear Guard...also took out my battery/electric shaver BEFORE i went onto the loading dock, to be as clean and well groomed for the customer to see i wasn't any sort of slob, and i spoke clean, clear English...

yet, moronic fools got hired (not including Vets), but people from all walks of life, sex orientations, etc,etc....

it is not a melting pot of individuals, but a "smelly pot" of many times,......human waste.

and i certainly never had, or never disputed any sort of Vet status........

i always however, got (and still get), really ticked off at the treatment of Vets at the VA hospitals.

you guys (and gals) deserve better from the VA.

I rather deal with someone like you when I was a desk jockey at OC than the few that I couldn’t even talk too.

Some of the VA’s are cool but some are less desirable. You should see the one at Great Lakes.

if i was allowed to park on the property over night, till the appointment time in the AM, i made damned sure i used several wipe cloths to "freshen up", and took out that battery/electric razor and shaved. i then made sure i had CLEAN work clothing to change into, and went to the receiving office, with all paperwork in order.

work boots, (or shoes), no flipping flops, no ripped blue jeans...NEAT and professional looking

i actually took pride in the job...you'd be surprised how fast i got taken care of too.

I'm a 100% P&T disabled vet, and I still keep my health insurance from work, I just changed to a retired status. I am hesitant about letting the VA take care of my health needs. But I will say this about the VA itself. It has totally changed for the better in the year that Trump has been president. Claims go through pretty fast, compared to the long wait times under Biden.
