Too true. Classic leadership: new guy (or gal) comes in, makes a lot of noise and rearranges the chairs, until discovering that actually the way the chairs had been arranged previously kinda made sense. What a waste of time and effort.

I am not wrong. If your Post Office is part of the consolidation in the next few years where all the carriers in a 30 minute radius are moved from all those Post Offices to a central Sorting And Delivering Center this is how currently the mail is being handled. You can go to SaveThePostOffice.com and see the articles on it.

WRONG. I live in a small po dunk town, pop 1300. Mail is deliver and pickup up at our post office at 5am in the morning. In the afternoon all outgoing mail is pickup at around 6pm. No delays in the mail. Checking tracking number prove it. THERE IS NO DELAY IN OUR MAIL

At the same time, from 2000 to 2015 I was a seller on evilbay and I could say with confidence that my item took two to three days to get from California (where I then lived) to anywhere in the nation.

I saw with my own eyes the corruption, sloth and waste of the USPS but nonetheless, they still moved packages FAST and EFFICIENTLY.

Then came the issue of which post OFFICES to close down and there was a hue and a cry.

Nope, can’t close down post offices so let’s try closing down and consolidating processing centers. That didn’t work too well because now workers had even longer commutes and morale plummeted. Additionally, the trucks had to drive longer distances, causing more air pollution and driver fatigue.

Finally, after exhausting all their options after encouraging early retirements, they decided that the mail delivery times were horribly suffering so they reopened P&DCs and now call them S&DCs for “Sorting and Delivery Centers”. Way to go, USPS! Trying to reinvent the wheel, AGAIN!

You’ll never learn, will you??

One thing I do not agree with is the fact of slowing down mail that is purchased or dropped off at that outlining Post Offices. An APWU employee will drop off the Post Office mail in the morning and also pickup up the outgoing mail as well at the same time thus no afternoon pickup. That will delay mail that is sold or dropped off after that morning pickup. Clearly is being done so people don’t go to the Post Office and move to shipping from home.

They have a lot of the dead weight just like the government.
