7 people killed in California at 24 hour postal sorting facility.

We had a thing kinda like that here in Visalia...guy was fired and came back and shot some people and started a fire. It was at a printing company though. Few years back.

No not Jostens. It was a place that was over by that Diamond Walnut place I think...I can't remember the name of the place though....PrintXcel maybe.
 
i think they have (within the past 4 months) made some changes in the post office and now everyone is mostly part time. so people have been pretty tense about that also.
possibly related.

How bad can it really be to be a postal worker?

I've been working in a postal facility (Richmond P&DC) for the last two months, most people seem pretty happy. They do get forced to work a lot of OT, they're always calling for mandatory OT over the intercom.

However they are making good money doing it - $70-80K is apparently pretty common, which is a hell of a lot more than I'm making here. Most of the people have been here a long time, & demand for the jobs is high.

I would guess there are 100-200 people working here at any time, & they run 24/7 except for Christmas Day.

just what i thought... is it true that postal workers are more prone to go nuts? hence the phrase 'gone postal'?
 
I just don't get it, what is it about working for the US postal system that does this? Are they unwillingly / unknowingly put through some type of government controlled psychological or drug induced experiment that causes this? All the postal employees I know in my immediate areas all seem happy and well adjusted.

Over 20 years ago when I left the military there was a period of a few months that had me standing in the unemployment line, now those employees I could picture going way off the deep end, they were the epitome of "miserable". Seems that bad attitude was a job requirement there.

Interesting that it was a female shooter this time. My first thought was that some nutjob guy went on the rampage ... so sad though 🙁
