This was type written and handed out to us the other day concerning the Christmas Overtme Period:
2008 Christmas Operations - Christmas period - December 6 - 26th 1. Start times - start times will be established based the route's mail arrival, evaluation, office time. Routes that are waiting for mail will be changed 2. Standard volumes (flats) during the Christmas period are significantly reduced requiring less office time. Again, start times will be adjusted to reflect operating conditions 3. Overtime - unless authorized in advance there will be no OT. All OT must be pre-approved directly by the Postmaster 4. Auxiliary Assistance - Routes approaching OT during the week may be provided assistance as follows: a. Regular carrier may be scheduled to deliver route only b. Regular carrier may be scheduled to case route only c. Regular carrier may be provided assistance on a case by case basis - with pre-approval by Manager only 5. Parcels a. Auxiliary Assistance for parcel delivery is not authorized b. Additional mileage (2nd run) if necessary and authorized will be compensated 6. P.M. Casing a. No route may case mail in the P.M. past their daily evaluation without specific authorization from the rural supervisor b. This will be in effect throughout the year 7. PS 4240 a. Please write down all breaks (smoking, coffee, cell phone, schmoozing) on your 4240 b. Time entries are to be made on your 4240 as they occur 8. Curtailment of mail a. Not all of the standard mail needs to be cased and delivered every day b. If you are unable to make your daily evaluation then you are to ask your supervisor for instruction 9. Subs on the route a. Subs are expected to provide a full day of relief for the regular once they are proficient on the route I love it when management is so concerned about our welfare (HA!)

Get this! My supervisor (IQ questionalble) told me I am over my weekly evaluation and I am to delay reporting to the office 4 hours while my sub cases the mail. I am expected to deliver after he is finished. I tried to convince her otherwise and she was visibly irritated and told me that the decision is final and is the best solution. I know that she is concerned of getting heat from higher ups and let the poo flow down to me.
Does anyone else think that this is sheer lunacy?  My steward suggested (unofficially) to call in sick. I don't think I can get away with it. I even offered to take a day of annual, and she turned me down.  UPDATE: I went in and found my case in a shambles and I had to spend some time to get things straighten out just to get ready to pull down. I spent a half an hour just for that and pulling down. I also spent five hour delivering because of all of my dismounts and accountables. I ended up delivering after dark. I did not like that. The more I think about all this, the more insulted I feel. It seems an experienced carrier is treated with contempt by what supervisor is forced on us. I seems that our experiences amount to nothing compared to the inflated ego and bonuses of managment.

If you take leave the 8 hours will count toward your overtime so she does not want that to happen. I think they would be better served to have the sub carry a swing on the route but then they would have to pay EMA for the sub too.
