Stupid postal employees

[ray1970]

Anyone know the best way to file a complaint about my postal carrier where it will actually do some good? I googled it but it is really confusing. I'd like to skip the local channels and rattle their cage from a bit higher up in hopes of something getting done about it.

Thanks.

I'll ask my neighbor. Can you talk about your complaint a bit?

Obviously I have no dog in this fight, but I have known a few postal carriers. (only my local carriers at work)
Most work 10-12 hrs without even a bathroom break or lunch. Average pay for their delivery route pays for only 7.5-8 hrs... not the actual hours worked. Sorting time also does not get equated into delivery time.... it is just something they have to do before they can deliver. Have you noticed they are always rushing around if they have to hand deliver anything?

A lot of these carriers would welcome getting fired so they could draw unemployment pay and not have to work their tails off.

Knowing this I give my carriers a lot of slack and always thank them.

Working long hours is no excuse for not doing your job. People who do a half ass job just because they worked a long day don't deserve any slack. Employees need to do what's expected of them and do their best to do it right or get a new job.

Delivering mail to the right address and closing the box is not hard and the failure to do so is simply incompetence.

I have zero input as to how you go about filling a complaint and while I'm sure it won't do any good, I say do it. Worth a shot.

And you wonder how the USPS had a $5 Billion, that's right, $5 Billion loss last fisical year.........

Exactly! They had a long day??? Give me a break. Try running a 14hour convoy, in a combat zone, with 3hrs of prep, and then 2hrs of post operation PMCS, gear cleaning, and item inventory. USPS employees have it fvcking MADE!

This isn't an excuse for poor service.

No one forces you to take the job you do. If you dont like it, quit.

I'm sure someone else will be willing to do it the right way.

Sure. It's really minor but it pisses me off. For the past three days, the mailbox has been left wide open. Lucky with all the wind last week that all of my bills didn't just blow away. Also, I had some of my neighbors mail in my box the other day. No big deal. I just opened their box to toss it in there for them. That's when I saw a couple of my bills in their box. It's not rocket science. I thought postal workers had pretty decent jobs as far as pay and benefits and whatnot. If you can't close the door on the box after you put the mail in there or put the mail in the correct box maybe you shouldn't work for the post office. Maybe McDonalds is a better option.

Fucktards.

But then what would become of McDonald's customer service? Btw, I don't care what the pay is. If you take the job, expecting you close the damn mail box is not asking for much.

Exactly.
