You state what would happen to supervisors if they said this. They wouldget promoted. All of you sory ass managers do need to be what Black stated. You hind behind these walls because you know your sorry ass is protected by your superiors. Come out in the real world and see if all your retaliatory acts would fly. Useless managers that ruin lives should be getting the treatment that black stated. One life, one love, one mind

What is the latest on these two losers that made the threatening remarks? NOTHING I would bet. That’s why employee’s have so little respect for management. DOUBLE STANDARDS. FIRE the lot of them!!!

I am a 29 year PMR, that’s right, 29 years of being on call, and promised two hours a week, with no benefits. I am being fired for missing a single “box up scan” on Jan. 31. My PM and POOM are calling it “unsatisfactory performance”. When asked, I admitted that I had forgotten. Other PM’s told me I should have lied, that is what they do when they miss the same scan. I didn’t. I tell the truth. I am one of the cheapest employees the Postal Service has. It has taken me 29 years to get to $16.58 per hour. I have managed four offices for extended periods as an OIC, and subbed in nine offices, but yet I get fired for “missing a scan”. Better warn your fellow employees…no one is safe.

Am I reading this correctly? Are we talking about the same Postal Service? In our area (West Michigan) arrogant, irresponsible, moronic supervisors are promoted and transferred somewhere else, or retired with full pension, severence pay and an Eagle with a Letter of Appreciation for a job well done. This has been done so often it’s mind boggling! The truth be told, most of them wouldn’t know sand if they fell off the north end of a south bound camel!

We need someone outside the post office to step in and investigate. The poeple at the district and headquarters are not trustworthy and have not been for a long time. I am sickened everytime I open the Daktotas web page and Clem’s picture is still posted, that tells us that nobody at headquarters cares how managers are treated. Of course Paul Turnbull is going to stand up for Clem because that is exactly how Paul treats the postmasters in his POOM area. Had I been one of them I would have filed a complaint against him a long time ago, but the people who are, know that Clem and the whole staff at the Dakotas District office would not have done a thing but lied and covered up for the sleeze bag who doesn’t have the guts to talk or threaten a male manager or employee like he does a female. Clem and some of his POOMS–not all, have been placing demands and when managers asked how they are suppose to reach those demands they just say do it–make them do it–if thats the kind of help they are going to give managers to help execute the directives they should go gone just for their inability to perform their jobs. Anybody who does not walk into a post office should be excessed before a post office is closed. Anyone who did not have to be at their job or have a replacement at their job for them on Xmas eve or the day after Xmas should be gone before we cut service to our customers—-cut the fat–I am sick of hearing how some of the district people brag about how they have nothing to do, ever try to get a hold of someone at the district office on a Friday afternoon –or a day before a holiday. How many people in the district office are required to work 12 to 16 hours a day without compensation. Please, someone go to the news media, congress and whatever else it takes to get something done here. Isn’t it sad that America looks up to the postal service–when our PMG and others at headquarters, areas and district levels have no integrity.

it was a matter of time before paul and clem self destructed, they live in the cyber world, where carriers knee’s can absorb the extra 4 hours of street time, while they have to hire an extra hand to answer the phone , because that is beneath them. you don’t think we see that! you don’t think Obama see’s that! i’m tired of carrying dead weight like you losers on by back and busted knees. so paul we elected the right man, now bring someone in on thier day off instead of running us into the ground. please!

paul and chad in an attempt to defend the incredibly dumb remarks by those who are supposed to intelligently lead us showed their own lack of intelligence by basically confirming the the remarks were made. Is it any wonder the situation we are in with this sort of ignorant, terrible leadership!!! This is not an isolated event. Anyone that has been around those two (Sly and Clem) have almost grown deaf to this stupidity. Dictating OT cap and NS day cap and other such contract breaking crap has become the norm in the western area. It is just horribly lacking in thoughful leadership. If we have a problem today (and I believe we do) what sort of trouble do you think we will have in 3-5 years as we fail to hire and train anyone to carry on the mission. Just terrible. They must be removed as their ability to lead is non existent after this event. We have managers all over the Western area taking this side or that side, I do not see how Sly or Clem can even be considered as effectively continuing on in the Postal Leadership role. Time for both of them to retire, the stress or perhaps feeling that they can do whatever they want has rendered them both useless to the organization.

So Paul and Chad, what you are saying that the statement was used to motivate the managers? Or was there laughter and joking after the comment? Or did they say that managers need to execute their jobs better? Or they could execute plans better?
Sounds like there was some inappropriate comments made and they need to be held accountable.
