PurrLure [she/her]

Yeah, I hear this one at work all the time. Sure thing boss.

Yeah, just alienate any remaining family right when you’re ready to retire.

Now these are rich assholes I can jeer at.

If that ever happened to me, I would hope a loved one would sneak into my hospital room with no witnesses and pull the plug for me.

But I’m guessing they already have armed security on standby and if someone was caught they’d be charged with two murders.

This is how I got my current job. They advertised it as temp, but it turned into a full-time contractor job where the company keeps us around for years but refuses to actually hire any of us and give us the standard paid time off and other benefits.

Is it ideal? No. But it beats retail by a long shot.

Congrats! This is definitely an upgrade compared to fast food.

Working rural at USPS was personally one of the worst jobs I ever had, but my supervisor was also an anti-union dick that refused to let part timers work more than 2 days a week and then got mad when people said they had to go work at their 2nd job. (“This IS your job!” Yeah, ok buddy, not if you’re only working us 20 hours a week.) I uh… also am a plus size autistic that doesn’t do well in heat at all, so that didn’t help. If you are working USPS I hope you get a reasonable mail load if you’re delivering, but if you work indoors sorting mail or customer service, honestly those were some of the best jobs I saw before I got let go.

If you end up having a hell of a time, don’t feel bad if you need to request a transfer or just use this to get an even better job somewhere else. I knew people that worked at my location that only switched there because they heard down the grape vine that a full time position was opening up in under a year. Otherwise, it’s not uncommon to see elderly people working at a single spot for 15+ years only getting 40+ hours on crappy hourly wages while on “part-time” because they gradually learned every single route. USPS does not reward location based loyalty. Btw, if you’re curious, at least while I was working in the rural union, part-timers don’t get benefits or years counted towards retirement even if they do make it to full time. You start at 0 years no matter what when you’re employed full-time.

At the stonk market straight up bouncing it.

And by it heh I mean
