I was recently hired by the Post office a City Carrier Assistant. I had a week and a half of training, which I was told that was never done in previous years. I trained in a different city because the trainer for my branch was out on leave caring for a sick relative. When I was working at my home station I did not feel I had the proper training. Even though I asked for more training it never happened. So after my first month, I was told I was not cutting it as a carrier and either I resigned or would be fired. Not much of a choice other than I am able to apply for a different job. I was devastated. I am over 60 years old and felt because of my age I was let go. I did not learn as fast as the younger people, however after I was gone four other recently hired workers were let go as well. Is there any way newly hired workers can be given more of a chance and not be treated like they are too stupid to learn how to do the job properly?
