5. My Rural Post Office Lady

Told me a weird story but I preface this with what I remember my post office friend tell me decades ago. The USPS’ pension fund had to be 100% funded so their budget always was weird.

Anyway, when I talked to the post office lady she told me that she is not considered full time not because of the number of hours a week but because she is “let go” for a few days at the end of the year the rehired at the start of the next. This means she’s a temporary worker without pension and using the Affordable Health Care Act system. It sounded weird but didn’t want to go into it further.

Knowing how Republican's work I wouldn’t be surprised at the shenanigan that go on in the USPS
