Your ignorance is blinding. I’ve been a city letter carrier for 22 years, will not be eligible to retire until age 65. I am 49 years old . You do the math.
Civil Service Retirement Plan was ended in 1983. All other employees are under the Federal Employees Retirement System. FERS is a 401, with one exception; employers matching 1% went out the window 3 years ago. my retirement is what I contribute plus whatever interest it earns; as of my year-end statement, it stands at 2.11%.
As for taxpayers being our servants, the USPS doesn’t use tax dollars. The money comes from the products we sell. If you don’t want to “subsidize” the USPS, there is two simple steps; don’t buy any postage, and PULL DOWN YER FRIGGIN’ MAIL BOX! A whizz like you ought to be able to figure them thar ‘structions out.
Oh geez, my IQ is plummeting.

I'm not surprised that you work for USPS. Pretty typical.
