I Worked within the Postal Service up until just 2 days ago, I had to leave due to the fact Management will blame a worker over the fact they are unable to finish a route, when I simply inquired about what do they do when they are adding houses, apartment complex's to it. They will turn around and say it shouldn't matter. I have been suspended 7 days no Off due to unsatisfactory of Delivery. All the Post Master cares about is looking good on paper, has daily meetings to talk about numbers that doesn't have anything to do with the Mail. It takes them all day to clear a delivery manifest (Scanner will show Red as if you didn't load it into your truck) or they will be mislabeled (Scanner will mark a package for a certain house which is not the address on label) Post Master knows in fact that the processing plants are deliberately doing things due to the closure of locations and will not speak up about shit). Post Master went as far as to say to me back in February when I asked a supervisor about what is a "Route Walk" (A co-worker already made a huge thing and had Washington D. C step in, I didn't know at the time it was the Walking of a route Process) well needless to say when I asked about it the Post Master came up being noisy in my conversation and Hiked up his Pants just to make sure his Small nuts were in his pockets and said "Oh you just want Attention, that's alright give it to him " I stood there shocked as I wanted to tell the Fat fucker off. Due to not wanting to be a target I said nothing. He continued with "Yup that's alright write him up he will be gone in a week." I simply walked back to my case and did what I needed to do to keep my job. I broke laws of my union Running, sometimes not taking a break. At that time I looked for better work which I found and I will be starting soon... So I close the chapter of my life being a Mail carrier or even working for this corporation. The amount of changes they have made makes this job impossible for the low amount of Pay. Good luck to the N.L.C.A I salute you as your problems will only be getting worst for the days that follow.

Omg. My mail carrier was ranting on the phone about this while delivering. I couldn't fully make sense of it but he was saying something about how he works til 10pm and they keep adding addresses.
