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?

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.

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.

I'm not asking for much. If it's too much to ask of my carrier to shut my box when he's done putting stuff in there then maybe he should be working else where. I don't really enjoy my job much but I do my assigned job duties without being a lazy piece of shit.

(Sorry. My anger is directed towards my carrier and not anyone on here. Unless one of you is my mailman.)

Is it your regular carrier or have they changed recently?

I ask because I talk to my regular carrier from time to time. When their is a substitute it is obvious.

I honestly don't know. I am seldom home when the mail arrives. On the few occasions I have seen my mail carrier, it seems like it is someone different every time.

I had the same question as CStone. I wouldn't be surprised if it was a temp. If your box is left open all the time, I'd report it too.

Even if it was a temporary delivery person, whoever it was needs a little reprimanding from their boss.

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.
