30% of your federal employees are postal workers. Another 30% work for Department of Defense and directly assist in defending this nation against foreign enemies.

So, your letter carrier has you POd and you work for AlQaida ~ I can see how that could lead someone to hate federal government employees.

Get your emotion out of the way and try dealing with facts.

As this article points out, average Fed worker makes MORE pay then their average private sector counterpart without adding in benefits. Add in benefits and Fed workers are some of the best paid people on earth.

For example,

Federal Employees get double the number of pay holidays then private sector workers. 13 to 6. That is a whole extra paid week off every single year. So right there Fed workers work less hours, for more pay, then their private sector counterpart

I’m actually quite happy with my small post office but I would cut it back from two full time and two part time employees to the two full time positions.

There are less than 200 PO boxes to fill so I would have both workers there at 6AM to sort and when that was done, one would go out to deliver on the rural route.

I would also replace the two gossipy retirement age women with recent veterans.

“Another 30% work for Department of Defense and directly assist in defending this nation against foreign enemies.”

Just because they work in the DoD does not mean that are not part of the problem. I will not allow fraud, waste, and abuse to be wrapped in the flag and given an excuse as you just did. My flag is of a higher honor, so stop using it disrespectfully.
