[Merged] Ask Me About Working For Canada Post

By being off work with a runny nose, or taking child care leave to look after a toddler although you live with your parents is a cupw method of entitlement from the big bad corporation.

Because of these thieving employees, parcels get delayed for weeks. What happens in the future? Contracts are lost....jobs are lost...

Hope you don't plan to be here 20 years from now, because you won't be.
Your playing right into the companies hands, losing money regularly gives them the incentive for privatization.
Just what they've wanted for years.

Congratulations fools, you can always get a job delivering for Amazon using your own vehicle for minimum wage.

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?

Why refuse the test? What possible reason could someone have to do that? And why would they not be disciplined for it?

Like, people get 5 day suspensions for not delivering flyers. But you refuse a covid test during a workplace outbreak and you're sent home on full pay? What the hell is wrong with this company?

Walmart gone, Amazon almost all gone except for rural and many others. You will be sure that they track delivery performance which was horrible this season.
Canada post is also using archaic technology and people fighting for batteries every morning.
Supposedly they used offsite locations over Xmas season.

It’s also going to be very hard to undercut their prices considering how much they pay their delivery agents. In other words, I’m not sure id agree that competing for more Amazon is a good idea. Especially, when Amazon contractors safe drop everything and just dump parcels in lobbies. (On my route fed ex and other non ups/pluralator do this as well).

We should be cornering the small business market as much as possible. I agree that standards could be better when they come to delivery though.

I’m taking that extra effort, but believe me, people love it when you treat their items with respect and care, and not like a piece of lard!
I do agree, as Canada post, we should give customers much better service, also posties need to smile more, this job is not rocket science, and we get paid pretty decent money for what it is, yet some posties look so miserable and keep that face even when interacting with customers ....
