		<description>You didn't need Jaffer to prove how inept the PMG is at running this business. All you had to do was ask any Letter Carrier from anywhere in the nation, and gotten that answer. Potter is taking us down the creek, without a paddle.</description>

		<description>In his job, Jaffer tried to turn the philatelic activities of the USPS into a big cash cow, in the process making US stamp collecting a farce.  It is not surprising to hear that with his arrogance and with the tacit tolerance of his bosses, he managed to help himself to all sorts of goodies contrary to the regulations.  I wish that the USPS would refer his case to the Justice Dept. without further delay and let him have his day in court.  He is supposed to be considered innocent until proven guilty, and I should think that proving him guilty should not be a particularly difficult job.</description>

		<description>After reading all of the comments, I believe everyone has a problem with the truth.  The whole USPS organization corrupt.  You have idiots changing contract routes to save time only to increase the cost and time!  Why is the USPS selling all of these extra services to mail an item but it seems to take longer to get the item delivered if it is delivered at all.  The USPS is selling framed art, beenie babies, and junk avoiding their duties to get the mail delivered on time and in one piece.  From craft where I have seen how mail is delayed and parcels "FRAGILE" at that are treated as if the pet detective were delivering them.  Clerks, city carriers, rural carriers, mail handlers, sales and service associates, etc are all just as guilty as management when they take that extra unauthorized smoke break or drag your feet on the street to avoid pivoting or to get that extra OT as part of your annual income.  OR it has come to the point where the postal family is really "family".  You have a Manager of Post Office Operations, a Plant manager, and a supervisor in a plant operation who are all related.  How about brothers and sister!!!!!  How can they manage each other????? They can not manage at ALL!!!!  Sooooooooooooo......, let's start the privatization issue!!!!!!!  Why are the USPS employees paid for federal holidays when the USPS is not part of the government???  Is the USPS a not for profit organization that is self supporting financially??  Why BIG BONUSES for "management" when craft does ALL of the leg work????   So you see, the USPS is just as corrupt as Mr. Jaffers.  It is "ALL IN THE FAMILY".  Disband the USPS and I am sure some private organizations can screw up the mail just as bad and will not be authorized federal holidays that the USPS should not be authorized to take.  It is a LOSE - LOSE situation.   Herd postage is a risin'.  Gotta get that money back Mr Jaffers!!!!</description>

		<description>There is sooo much corruption in the management starting from it's supervisors it's unbelievable. Management makes a carrier or clerk-craft employee's life miserable in any way possible. Letter of removals are given for any little thing with phrases like "Your behavior is highly unacceptlable to be an employee of the USPS"! What is more unacceptable than this guy's behavior? All the management officials gang up on the REAL workers in order to earn bonuses and to make their numbers. Corruption in every way possible is condoned by the Post masters in almost every single branch of the Postal service very likely starting by PMG Potter!</description>

		<description>I am so outraged by this incident! I can't believe that the PMG is covering up this arrogant slimeball's actions. I am a city carrier and we walk on broken glass every single day. There are no second chances for even mistakes let alone willful, deliberate and unethical actions like Jaffers. We all as craft employees should unite and really make a big deal out of this. Isn't money lost (46,000 or more) still the same whether it be stolen by a craft employee or a top executive? Isn't Postal service hurting for money and we all should be working towards increasing revenue and not misusing the Postal funds? Why was this guy not held accountable?</description>

		<description>I have worked for the Postal Service for 20 years and if you think 
the only disgrace is happening at the top, then I am here to tell you
it is not.  Front-line supervisors harassing employees, plant managers
harassing employees and the Postal Service picking up the tab when
they lose in EEO's.  It is no wonder employees  don't care anymore.  This organization has and will continue to cover their own, but if they feel
an impropriety has occurred among the rank and file they immediately want a dismissal.  It is impossible to get "good" employees
to apply for managerial jobs anymore due to the fact they don't want
to be associated with what is already there.  This organization needs to
change if it is going to survive.</description>

		<description>Years ago when I was a craft employee I remember a carrier who got caught stealing cash from the mail. As he should of been, he was asked to leave his job. They did allow him to resign but would have fired him if he didn't. Granted he committed the ultimate sin of a postal employee by stealing from customers, but what has happened in this case is the same. The money to pay for his abusive use of the credit card comes from the customer also. While Jaffer may not have taken it directly from the mail stream it did in fact come from the customer.

No action by Potter will merely re-enforce the belief by most postal employees that they take care of their own while they ding the workers for even the most minor of violations.</description>

		<description>The waste of money on managements side isn't unusual.  The only thing different is that this has been made public.  
I'm sure we'll all be waiting to see what Postmaster Potter will do about this.</description>
