    Pontiac Michigan occasionally has jobs advertised. They’re through a Contractor. Mostly part time. Some are 6 hrs a day, 6 days per week. Goofy schedules
    . Good for a retiree. The pay is about $/3-$24 hr. Mandatory $5 hr put into a retirement account. Totals around $28 hr. Sounds great till you do the math. The 6 hrs/ 6 days sounds awful. I’d go for 12 hrs/3 days. Time and half after 8. 36 would pay 42. At $28 hr. $1176 gross. Pays the bills. Do some side gigs at my leisure. Maybe get some extra work available on call? Must be a very boring job. Always advertised. The few times I’ve delivered to the Detroit Main Post Office. I understand the POSTAL mentality. Everyone there was an A hole

    My dad used to swear UPS was a good company to work for, i never bought it. If a company is constantly advertising they are hiring theres a reason for it.

    I couldn’t work there. Too much micro management. The job I mentioned is at the Pontiac Mi Post Office. One of their Contractors. Apparently tge contract requires them to contribute $5 per hr. Into some this of retirement account. So you’re only paid $23 hr. on a check. $5 hr. The UPS Drivers with seniority do pretty good. I used to run with them sometimes. They’d go from Metro Detroit to Grand Rapids and back home every night. Paid top dollar hourly. Drive 3 hrs. Play cards for 2 hours and head back home. The old guy retired and moved to Vegas. He was pretty happy about everything. Good pension. Who wouldn’t be . A lot of those Guys make as much, sometimes more retired than working. Living in a State that doesn’t tax pensions helps too.
