As a manager of 72 people & four different facilities, and cover one whole zip code of deliveries in San Fransisco Ca, I learned patience & how to deal with may different people and in many different ways, and not everything needs a reaction, I treat every single employee with dignity & respect and talk to everyone at an equal level, repetitively telling them great job everyone and I appreciate their hard work, believe it or not it goes a long way! That’s why I have an amazing work force who will do anything and everything for me thanks crew! ??♥️ #94115GANG #USPS #manager #wedothis #myPOSTALmoms #8yearsIN #25yroldMANAGER #everyonedeservesEQUALrespect #14straightdaysofwork #NODAYSOFF #XMASseason

Guy drives up… “Not done yet”? . Umm…I’m standing here with the boxes open and putting mail in them… . No…I’m not fucking done. In fact, just getting started. . Guy: *stands there quietly for a minute “Oh” . People…please, if your mailman is busting his ass delivering your mail, stop asking him stupid questions…were already disgruntled, overwhelmed right now during the holidays, and really not in the mood for stupid questions,etc. . DON’T: ?️ask if hes/shes done (if you see us, we are not done. When you dont see us, we’re done) . ?️stand there staring at us thinking we will work faster. We won’t…in fact, we’ll most likely go slower. Oh look, break time?? . ?️ask if we have anything for you. We are handling hundreds of names. If we have something for you..itll be in your box, a parcel locker or at your door. . ?️stop parking in front of your mailbox . ?️don’t shoot us, we’re just the messengers. I dont actually work for the IRS, Mortgage company, credit card company, etc. . DO: ?️For the love of god… pick up your fucking mail and get your parcels out of parcel lockers!! We need the space!! . ?️be patient, it’ll get there. We are working a lot of overtime and we most likely will be back later with more parcels (2nd run) . ?️be nice… Think about tipping your mailman, youd be surprised how much its appreciated, especially those of us who treat your stuff like it’s our own? . . #happyholidays2018 #merryxmas? #mailmanproblems #mailmanlivesmatter #usps #mailmanxmas #mailmanlife #mailmanchronicles #mailmanmuscle
