Amazon is killing your mailman
salon.comI had no idea that Amazon was doing Sunday deliveries, until I started seeing my packages marked 'unable to be delivered' on Sundays. This seems like a lot of extra effort to go to and not inform the customer that you're doing it.
It's also pointless. My mail goes to a mail receiving shop, and none of these places are open on Sundays because there's never been any mail to receive. A lot of people around here have their mail sent to their office, which similarly are not open on Sunday.
Even if I received my mail at home, I have no expectation of it arriving on a Sunday. The chances of being home to receive it are very slim.
Seems like a lot of unnecessary effort and misplaced priorities. I'm fine with waiting until Monday, and that's the result anyway.
Fascinating reading into the current state of the USPS. I didn't even know they were doing Sunday delivery for Amazon. There's a reason "going postal"[1] entered the lexicon.
Then quit.
I make $17/hr in a NOC position with no benefits, no pto, sick days, etc and I may not have a position next month because bureaucracy.
These CCA positions look pretty nice right now.
