the post office could make cuts without cutting jobs . 1st.. stop paying outrageous rents… in these little office spaces ,like in the back of a store , consolidate the smaller offices , to government owned space ……….2cnd.. awarding a PRIVATE CONTRACTOR, at outrageous bids to replace door knobs, lights,lawn care ,snow removal ,vehicle repairs ,etc… have a postal maintenance crew that covers 5-6 offices, self sufficient which would save big money. 3RD.. THE USPS RELOCATION PROGRAM LOSING ON THE AVERAGE 58,000 PER HOME ,ON THE 500 PLUS HOMES THEY BOUGHT AND SOLD IN 2008…………..

ok clyd so lets see,you try to better yourself ,you take a supervisor test 16 weeks, you do all kinds of travel to work in all kinds of offices the training is so intense ,then you become a supervisor you baby sit for children who stand behind a union for every little thing even if they are wrong they play baby games ,they file grievances for stuff they have no way of winning yet in a world where like it or not, you have to produce,one day soon you wont have any unions in the work place and then what becomes of all the children who now will have to produce or lose their jobs.then you find out you might not have a job, because they need to make cuts.my wife was a window clerk ,ran around like a nut job,makes a few more dollars now, and does more work then ever she no longer gets overtime, because she now is management. and you say they walk around doing nothing? that works both ways,carriers slow to get out of the office to deliver the mail, bringing in overtime,is a big money problem,if my wife wasnt there to babysit there would be alot more overtime, which let me tell ya would cripple the postal service as far as money goes ,so to look at the bigger picture everybody needs to do their jobs and be more self conscious of what could happen if they no longer have a job to go to. stop baby games be more productive and work together.

I agree the management should be lessened. They treat the employees terrible, take hard workers from your section to work on automation, while the lazy light duty people do nothing ( 90% are fakes ) and you have to kill yourself to get the mail out. When you tell them your problem they YES you to death and do nothing. They walk around with each other and socialize. Most of them have no idea how to supervise. Noone wants to do a good job the way they kill your morale.

Bob Carroll, you have absolutely nailed it! I have 21 years of service and am 45 years old. Yes, we lost half our retirement through TSP losses, and are forced to work harder and harder for less money. I barely have time for breaks, and the people hired in recent years are complete deadweight. The PTF clerks are lazy and do not care about anything but themselves and their sense of entitlement is mind boggling.
I am twice their age and work circles around them.
We are getting a raw deal, USPS. Dump the dead wood and
smarten up. When we leave in the next 10 years, heaven help the Postal Service. Be grateful for your middle aged employees for we are carrying your asses.

How is it possible to dedicate one’s life in serving others ..in the end to live in so much fear? I refused to let my present loss of income and uncertainty dictate my will. I will continue to convince my coworker to join the union, and take it upon myself to make a positive difference daily at the workplace. Forward bound people!!!!

Also they get all there sick leave. And they have not paid into SS guess they should have been tucking all that extra money [that we don not get] away.

No it does not. TSP funds should have been in a safer fund at that age. H ow is a society supposed to function when the older people who can not pull their weight refuse to retire? And make way for the next generation of people raising families to support them.
