Postal Service may be facing layoffs

[megajoel12]

I saw the workers playing cards during the day and not exactly lunch time, they were having lots of fun

[megajoel12]

I saw few workers playing cards in Gran Central, food court.

I WISH I CAN FIND MY MERCHANDISE SENT FROM KEANSBURG NJ AND ARRIVED IN FLORIDA EMPTY

I thought it said playoffs instead of layoffs darn

Real postal management cuts this time, not just get rid of unfilled management jobs.

None the less, all civil service retiring would be a great help also.

All the penion money is there, in fact due to over payments more than all. Congress should aprove all civil service to retire, those with less than 30 yrs at full 30yr 55 pay point.

If they say not now, then they should be in FERS.

in 2009 postmaster potter recieved $200,000.00 bonus in 2010 is recieving 3mil in severance at retirement. Seven craft employees per supervisor.

[ETWFJ]

@6116cs Its 2.3 to 3 craft. Include all the "support help" at I.T. etc...

Hmmm now i know where royal mail get thier ideas from, its pretty much identicle to what they are doing

[jordan31483]

The postal service's two philosophies are, "If it doesn't make sense, do it," and "If it ain't broke, fix it."

Pure drama.  As long as they employ casuals things aren't that bad.

[clintnjayme]

@csmpeoil casuals? come the fuck on! those guys get paid like 9.00 per hour... who would want to hump mail 6 days a week for 9.00 an hour? you are wrong.. they need to cut mangement salaries and positions.... casuals... gimme a break! not to mention casuals have no benefits AT ALL so is they were to get hurt their asses would be kicked to the curb... I'll bet my last dollar that you couldn't OR wouldn't do it!

[smearous]

She got the price wrong on that box. I'm a PTF clerk currently but as of this Saturday I'll be a city carrier. Clerk hours are getting cut more & more and I don't see any future for clerks, thus why I'm making the craft change.

[endlsskn1]

Well, they keep doing what they do best, overloading and cutting the labor force. And thats easy, why? Because no one out there sees the four bosses from the other side of DC drive to Balto in their VA government tagged car just to stop at a station and check the truck doors to see they are locked...And that was their tough day. Yeah...if people only knew how many thousands of them there are just like those ones. Maybe they'd start to ask why burnout the labor force?

[EUGENEMDAVIS]

Get rid of the ones who don't deliver Mail in the Rain, Heat, Sleet & Snowand those are the ones who do al the yelling and write up's or give them a choice....take a Pink slip or let them become Letter Carrier's again with a cut in their pay...that would save a lot on money, I feel sorry for the Letter Carries who has lees than 6 years in, they will be the first to go. I got 15 yrs in and 15 left to go, I'm not going nowhere.

[weelittlewillie]

they need to start laying off , after buying 1022 homes around the country and rasing the stampes up again . guess they will be like the others , lay all the workers and keep the magement so they can think about how to get things done. I Really think we should just switch over to Fedex and start mailing stuff , heck they make delivery to homes and pick ups to

[mike71470]

It shouldn't be that bad on the post office because the government is mailing a lot of unemployment checks unless they do it electronically.

[poofer89]

we do it electronically.

[angelmycat]

Wow, they cut our clerk too

[MikeS91712]

How about getting rid of a few layers of management if you want to save money. They may be cutting carriers and clerks, but not any managers.

[tscat68]

You got that right. They cut our clerks, now we all start at 8am, and have 3 supervisors or what i like to call them, "Do Nothings" standing around. Not to mention the Post Master walking around drinking coffee ,working 830-3 .

[Anothercoilgun]

I see that crap at work. I do the work of 3 people and everyone in company knows this. I see others do nothing, know nothing and get paid 3 times. I do not work for post office but I do know first hand how money is being wasted on them "Do Nothings".
