[Merged] Ask Me About Working For Canada Post

mikebc wrote: ↑ Yup. 40 down from 170 on Monday. Results not typical, no OT, clean floor (hasn't happened since October). Stuff has just ground to a halt. I imagine nearly everything I'm getting is local or regional, since PPC is still trucking along as usual.

Considering there's 4000+ employees at Gateway (in which case, 121 is a drop in the bucket), I'm assuming there's probably 10x that number at home on precautionary or "sick holiday". We shouldn't be seeing service interruptions over a 2% drop in staffing. They said they started mass testing yesterday, I'm assuming that 121 number will be eclipsed shortly by real numbers showing a mass outbreak. At minimum, an entire shift was likely directly exposed, meaning potentially a thousand people were a fabric mask away from infection. We all know there's no social distancing going on in processing centers.

On a side note, I just had 3 personal packages blast through Mississauga on the weekend (under 24 hours between drop off, initial process and "in transit"). 2 days to Richmond, on my doorstep today. I know there are still backlogs out there, but first-in-first-out has absolutely been ignored. I delivered an expresspost packet from Nov 21 yesterday.

stalbert1 wrote: ↑ Your the gullible one if you swallowed the flatten the curve tale my friend.

Don't worry though, your job isn't one of thousands being destroyed while the curve still wasn't "flattened",by wearing a piece of cloth.

Now you can go back to watching CBC,NBC,FOX,BBC, and the rest since they've had the same news about COVID since last March.

i guess that would bring the numbers up and around 148

And how on earth can Gateway have so many positive cases when CP has been implementing mask use and social distancing?... is it because of infected people spreading it during lunch break?
