I just finished my 4th day of training today and I’m super slow right now. I got lost a few times, feet are sore which is slowing me down even more. On day 3 I slit my my finger because I was trying to be faster at pulling mail out of my bag and bled all over the place. I just keep moving. Otherwise I’ve been delivering the mail pretty accurately for the most part. Getting better at taco fold and what not. Still very challenging however.

I have worked for about a month in the post office and on all 9 of the routes in our office. But they don't give me the route book to help me follow the streets. Which way do I turn and where do I park? I have asked them that, but since I am still in my 90 days, I am treated poorly. My supervisor told me that I am taking too long and that I need to think about if I want to stay on as a mail carrier. I am 54, 5 feet tall and really need this money! I am having a lot of challenges. Different carriers will case the mail for me, but then bundle it together in a way I can't seem to follow. If I just had a map of the route, I could organize the trays and packages better. I take at least twice as long as they say it will take. Don't they know that I am brand new, don't know the streets, don't have a route book or map and am not the regular carrier for that route? How can they say that a CCA will take the same amount of time as the regular? They say BE SAFE, but it really is, don't get caught NOT being safe! You can't unbuckle your seat belt EVERY dismount. And how about those LLV's! The truck I drove needs a new starter and won't start! I can't believe the LLV's don't have at least a back up beeping sound. It is very dangerous, this job, but the paychecks are helping. I hope I can physically continue to do this job. Based on my size and age, I am struggling. I started on February 14, 2022 in training but started actually learning on the job beginning of march.

I think my supervisor would be thrilled if I took 2 hours for 1.5 hour leg of a route. I’m in my 4th week since OJI and I have yet to do the same route. I’m learning something new each day. Today, I had 2 hours to do all park and loop. Took me about 3.5 hours. Some days I put down I took lunch when I didn’t just so it looks like I’m not that slow. I got my 30 day review today and got all U’s. It was the first time anyone has said anything to me good or bad. I figured I needed to improve but didn’t think it was that bad. I hope people stop saying hang in there. It’s starting to bring me down. Well, tomorrow Saturday and I’ll probably be given a mounted route where I have to step out at least 50% of the time.

@@MailmanNick I'm a reg and I wouldn't call it going "slow": it's just that we want to work safely and protect our bodies for retirement. If you go faster than your natural pace you will hurt yourself or get into an accident eventually. I move at exactly the same speed when I'm working as when I'm not working and some people consider that slow. My pace is my pace. I don't care if a CCA could finish my route by 11 am when it takes me until 5 pm. I go at MY pace and that's all we have to do.

I hope others can respond since this was posted 10 months ago I had my 30 day review. Supervisor was confused with hire date. I explained just b4 academy I got covid. So my 30 day is actually 10 day Still got unsatisfactory He explained I’m not performing like a permanent He stressed to not worry about this rating How can you not? Regulars tell me I’m doing great and to ignore it Oh well. Guess we will see what 60 days look like
