It's not this guy, is it? I just wanted to check. TIA
I have an inside source at the post office.
As you know they’ve been teetering on the brink of bankruptcy for years. Trump appointed a new Postmaster General to try and right the ship. First thing he did was to forbid the payment of overtime.
At the post office they always racked up a lot of overtime because whatever mail came in that day had to get out the same day to be delivered, whatever it took. The new boss chose to save payroll over meeting that standard and instructed them just to do what they could do before their hours ran out and leave the rest.
Obviously that did not survive First Contact with reality and is being rethought as we speak.
That doesn't seem to have been a common practice around here. There have been multiple times when even tracked mail did not arrive because the carrier was unable to deliver all the mail they had.
Why don’t they just do mail delivery every other day, I think mail delivery Mon. Wed. Fri. Would be be fine with most people, if packages come in deliver just the packages!! You could have just a few people each day deliver packages!!
The billions in shortfalls at the PO has very little to do with operating expenses and almost everything to do with their required retirement contributions. Without them, the federal retirement system would collapse overnight.
It’s an easy fix—but no politician in the world will touch it.
That’s exactly what a mail lady friend told me
Of course, she blamed it on the fact that the new PG didn’t have a mail delivery background, starting at the bottom
PO is still delivering from Amazon on sunday in my neighborhood like clock work.
VERY interesting. Wow. I’ll bet you’re right... lack of overtime pay is why the U.S. Mail has slowed down overall.
