RE: Holiday Swaps Anyone?

November 6, 2001

Hiya Chris, all..

I have sympathy for anyone who's scared during all this.. and around here

where there's not that many jobs to be had without really traveling, (ok, not

counting Walmart! lol), people stay and work scared. UPS and FedEx are

starting to sound pretty good to me and I've noticed more and more are

switching over to them.. you're right, we've lived a very spoiled life for

far too long. I'll be inconvienced anytime to avoid all that's happened here

so far, and look at all the post offices that are currently

closed............ oh well. Easy to say get another job, - but take into

account that also means giving up benefits, etc. - figure also if I wouldn't

feel safe working at the post office (and I wouldn't about now), guess I can

sure sympathize with those who already are.........the terrorists have been

doing a darned good job of shutting down a good part of our country, not to

mention destroying lives and the World Trade Center. These aren't

amateurs.........

Reality and Harsh are getting another job that won't support or even begin to

support families. Many have no choice " but " to work scared.

Hugs,

Marilyn

PS - didn't mean to shock ya! ;-)

All I have to say regarding postal workers, or any other job that

becomes " scary " for ANY reason .... do the benefits outweigh the

risks? If so, then put up and deal (or complain when you get home

). I have been paid far less than postal workers and had the bomb

threat manual in my desk drawer and been told by at least one

Department Manager " Remember that weird guy who came in for an

interview yesterday in my department? " there were 20 folks a day

coming in for that job " Well, he called very threatening earlier

today, so if he comes in, and is violent, just call somebody " .

GREEEATTT - My choice to stay or go, benes or not, rough economy or

not, ya know! And even as far as Walmart goes .. well I've always been

promoted to mamagemet in every retail job I've had, so I feel

confident I'd be one of the folks to grow with the that very large

opportunistic company (with benes too) I can get a job with the

post office now, or at Rocky Flat cleaning up at the former nuclear

waste storage site starting at $14 per hr plus good benefits .... Do

the benes outweigh the risks ....

I guess this Independent Liberal is just becoming more conservative in

my old age My XH with waist long hair is the same way too! It just

happens sometimes *LOL*
