    Station Manager Creates Alternative to DOIS

    Monday, June 29, 2009, 04:56 PM CST [General]

    A postal employee in Little Rock, Arkansas reports that a station manager has developed an alternative program to DOIS, and is using that program instead of DOIS to manage letter carrier times. The employee states the program cuts carrier times even shorter than DOIS. According to the employee, the program has gained the notice of the Southwest Area, who are singing the station manager's praises.

    Dallas realignment?

    Thursday, June 25, 2009, 10:03 PM CST [General]

    "From what I am hearing, it is almost certain that Dallas MPO and North Texas P&DC will be combined in some fashion due to the approval of the consolidation study.  There will be a town hall meeting on July 1 to discuss the findings." - Dallas Clerk

    Hi Tom:

    Thank you for the good luck wishes. I hope I have the same success that your former co-workers now have. For now, it is a fun experience but other aspects are scary as hell.

    Thank you for constructing this website for all of us to share our experiences and for PostalMag as well.

    Tom,



    I was slack-jawed reading your latest diatribe and amused by your sarcasm but dismayed at the rampant lack of intelligence by supers in your division as well as mine. REC site employees (I know, generally regarded at the armpit of the USPS, but we are here doing a service) are also subjected to disciplinary measures in areas not covered by the contract. Stews are in over their heads and the local and nat'l couldn't care less. Not about the Glendale REC anyway. Hang in there...you will do well, for I had read a blog of yours before and you are one of the few who never uses overtime to get the job done. As for me, so far I am flying under the radar as well. Merry Christmas Tom!

    I have to admit I was torn between the Saints and the Cowboys in my early prediction. I am sentimental towards the Saints. But with Tony Romo as QB and since the Cowboys got Zach Thomas from the Bucs - the 'Boys will be a powerhouse!

    hey tom, yea i guess you could say, ive had my fair share of bad offices and people to work for. i was finally able to bid to an office where the supervisors and other carriers actually do care for one another. well that is as of right now. i do like the office where i work at now. but you know as well as i do that managment and other carriers come and go like the wind. i just hope that this office doesnt change too much. i just wish that everywhere could be like what i have now where managment understands and works with the carriers. but i guess that is just hopeful wishing. i guess thats why you could say that i like going to work and not dreading it. trust me, when i got to the office i was last at, i would cry at night sometimes because of how bad it was at the office but i kept telling myself that i would get out of there one day. things do get better eventually.
