learn to deliver mail chuds

https://www.wsj.com/lifestyle/careers/how-i-lost-my-career-and-started-delivering-mail-c238d934

>My skill set was not particularly practical; I wasn’t a cardiologist or a plumber. My work in the two decades before the pandemic had a bunch of names—Brand Strategist, Marketing Consultant, Consumer Psychologist—but getting a new marketing job was going to be a near impossibility for the foreseeable future. It was certainly never going to happen before my health insurance ran out in a couple of weeks. Which was a problem, because a couple of months earlier I had been diagnosed with prostate cancer. My cancer was as benign as cancer gets, but what had seemed manageable, treatable, now loomed as an existential issue. Not to mention that I was a husband and a father of two teenage girls, who counted on me to keep them in the upper middle class.

>To get unemployment, I had to be actively searching for a new job. I would go on the Virginia Employment Commission website, find anything I was even remotely qualified for and apply. I lived in Blacksburg, the small town in far western Virginia where I’d grown up, but the jobs I’d find myself applying to were almost all in Northern Virginia. Locally, there was nothing.

>Except for a job as a part-time letter carrier with the U.S. Postal Service. It paid $18.50 an hour, and it came with healthcare on day one. The pay cut was eye-watering: I hadn’t worked a job at that wage level since my early 20s. But I would definitely enjoy working outdoors for a change—and independently.

>part-time
ahahahahahaahahahahahahahahahahahahahaahahahahahahahahahahaahahahahahahahahahaahahahahahahahahaahahahahahahaha it's over for muttmerica

You wish you had that job security, OP.
Also, stereotypically it's that professional that, together with the milk man and the plumber, screw your wife while you're wageslaving, OP.
s a g e in all fields

>>509074018
>milk man
Nigga this isn't the 1950s. People go and buy milk from the grocery.

literally a good job though. all government welfare jobs are good. overpaid and underworked, plus great benefits.

>>509073287 (OP)
No pussy no work, simple AS

>>509073287 (OP)
literally just create your own job

Can I do this if I’m a social retard?

>>509073287 (OP)
The Postman fears the Rottweiler>>509073287 (OP)

>>509073287 (OP)
That sucks
At least he’s not homeless, but that’s a really low bar to set

>>509078621
Are Rottweilers even legal in NZ?

>>509076220
It’s not as good as it once was, lots of them don’t get the good bennys now.

>>509073287 (OP)
Based wsj enjoyer

>>509078419
there's going to be at least one person wanting to designate you as the friendly local mailman. you'll be a common fixture in some old person's life. it's a grim burden you'll need to bear

>>509074018
They aren't secure everywhere. In California they try to take your unskilled labor job and give it to brown people that do a worse job and even disability scam them.

>>509073287 (OP)
I applied but got rejected.

>>509073287 (OP)
I did and I have a nice house in a white town and a wife and three children I didn’t pay a single cent out of pocket to the hospitals to deliver
I mean do you’re insulting me or something?

>>509073287 (OP)
USPS only highers negresses where I'm from

Try to be white male 35-50 in California and start over with an unskilled labor job. You will be treated like AIDS by every employer.

>>509073287 (OP)
Damn, William H. Macy crashed out hard

>>509073287 (OP)
You have to take an IQ test and get a sufficiently low score to assure the USPS that you won't get bored and quit.
They don't want to give you all that diversity sensitivity training for nothing.

That guy is 50? Hmm maybe getting older is not so bad. Turning 30 late July.

Nope. Not unless we go back to no mail on sundays. The incestuous relationship amazon has there where existing contracts, centuries of tradition, and religions rights of employees of a federal agency comes second to people having slop delivered to their door 7 instead of just 6 days a week because the fed wants to subsidize one ofnthe biggest companies in the world like a negess on welfare is not an orginization I can ever respect again. It's absolutely disgusting.

>>509079596
nigger I’m in over ten years and the closest to that shit they’ve ever given me was a “unconscious bias” thing with passport training. shut the fuck up

>>509073287 (OP)
"Shovel rice goyim, eat your slop and be quiet"

>>509075949
Ok well what about the man who delivers ice

>>509073287 (OP)
Good idea!: For postal personnel are not part of the war theater.

>>509079348
you spelled hires wrong

although I agree with you Im way to northern european for them to ever hire me, they would laugh if I tried, they HATE northern european americans that want a normal happy traditional life in America

>>509079348
The orcs in socal don't even show up to work at USPS...it's the biggest scam going.

>>509073414
Is it really that hard getting another marketing job in NOVA? Doesn't add up

Honestly this is why I'm scared of having a family. Because I would have to rely on some jewish job being there for me to support them.

>>509078719
Yes

>>509073287 (OP)
the underlying issue here is why doesn't this guy have a significant amount of savings to deal with this job loss? Did his wife spend all their money?
That's why we need to eliminate all taxation. Americans need every cent we earn.

>>509078719
Yes, and you know what else is legal? Silencers. You can just buy them over the counter at any gun store, of which there are many in Auckland.
There's also no register of guns. You need a license, but once you have one, you can buy as many guns as you want and there is no record whatsoever.

>>509073414
good for him

>>509078419
I suppose as long as you can read the addresses and be able to drive

>>509079924
I've been doing "sounds like" style misspellings more and more, a side-effect of multi-tasking and trying to post really fast.

>>509073414
>Not to mention that I was a husband and a father of two teenage girls, who counted on me to keep them in the upper middle class.
Don't worry daddy they don't need you for that anymore. They'll just both become Onlyfans pornwhores and make more money in a year than daddy ever did in his entire life.

>>509079977
You’re supposed to homeschool them from your undeveloped property in the boonies what kind of libertarian are you

>>509073287 (OP)
I literally applied and they sent some online bullshit questionnaire. They said I was not applicable for reapplying for a year

>>509073287 (OP)
My brother works for the post office, it’s takes like 10 months just to interview and get a job offer kek. No clue why but it’s actually insane how in efficient they are at hiring people.

>>509080098
terrible for him

>>509073287 (OP)
They dont just give away mailman jobs, you need to work in the mail warehouse first for many years before that in most places.

>>509073287 (OP)
Imagine walking 26 km/16 miles per day in heatwaves, blizzards, and storms for ~$55k, permanently ruining your knees. The other day I came across a website showing government salaries, and the postal service has some of the lowest average of any department. The EPA was significantly higher, and they're the bane of corporate America's existence.

And if that wasn't bad enough, you get to be emasculated driving picrel, as people either laugh or get angry at the government waste. You deliver either bills or junk mail. No one likes you.

>>509073287 (OP)
Did you know that if you are mailing a letter to a friend and take a red sharpie and write, "FUCK THE US POSTAL SERVICE" on the envelope the white roastie with a nose ring at the counter at the post office pretending to work won't take the envelope? They will refuse. I think she started going into convulsions when I was leaving. It was really funny.

Apparently he gets to drive a cool truck, looks neat
In Australia the postmen ride these little honda bikes

>>509080407
That's the new truck. The old one looks tuff

>>509079484
This is why AI nonsense is largely unfeasible. Even if the plebs go along with massive skill loss and job replacement willingly, the system itself will not allow retraining and repositioning in the increasingly shorter contractions of time that technology mandates. You'll have people exiting high school who need to re-enter high school on graduation to catch up to the latest round of basic skill changes. Each round of increasing unemployment puts additional strain on government resources until the whole thing goes tits up

>>509075949
I get milk delivered because you can buy it right from the farm so when you get it it's less than 24 hours old instead of a week or two old like you buy from the grocery store. you should try being less retarded.

>>509080729
>change happens faster than the human system can keep up with
That sounds a lot like the so-called Singularity

>>509073851
Part time just means less than 40 hours a week

>>509081470
Except that's not what it means, stupid fucking retard

>>509080042
> saving money
> a house full of females

Umm…

>>509073851
Sounds like he's just doing this to get healthcare and qualify for unemployment benefits
And he seems to live in darkest Appalachia

>>509082378
Blacksburg is where virgina tech is. Globally it doesn't stack up so well and barley makes top 300 in the world but thats out of like 20,000 and I think it still cracks the top 50 universities in the USA.

>>509081470
>Part time just means less than 40 hours a week
just 38.5 hours per week...
and no health insurance...
and no retirement benefits...
and no holiday pay...
and no vacation time..
and no job security...

>>509075949
Oh fuck my wife is definitely cheating then.

>>509073414
>My work in the two decades before the pandemic had a bunch of names—Brand Strategist, Marketing Consultant, Consumer Psychologist—
mfw

>>509081470
Usually 32 hours or less

>>509085015
what ''''full time with benefits'''' really means for 90% of jobs that aren't corporate baby sitting

50+ hours a week with obligations to come in when production needs unreasonable goals
A sweet health care package which sees you paying at least half your paycheck or more for the same shit obamacare covers or bullshit like dental that still requires you to pay all the costs once you go to the dentist
the company breathing down your neck for the last 5 years as you eye retirement, if they even last that long, as they try to fire you for any little thing to avoid having to pay you what you've probably accrued
vacation and sick days are very often 'accrued' these days and you can expect to have an accident or some other emergency once a year and use your entire week/two weeks of vacation/sick days
and no job security

honestly you have a very warped view of the job market

>>509081470
Not at the post office. It means 40-60 hours a week with fewer bennies and no retirement.
