In my humble opinion :

Stop calling taking 2 percent a year from people a buyout! The PMG has said he wants to cut out 100,000 jobs. The math isn’t difficult. You have 120,000 civil servants left. Give a real
buyout and they will go for the most part. Add years to everyone, not take them away! Give everyone 5 years credit and there is no reason to stay! DUH! The newer people at the lower payscale will actually make this a smart investment in the saving of the PO.

Other agencies have done that. They will add some years and give a small cash bonus, and guess what?! They go!Why not ask Congress for a one time bailout to buy these folks out for real. What is the point in holding back? And why aren’t our Unions pushing this? This is not rocket science !

How about a sup that makes over 100,000 a year for putting in the clock rings. Works every day off level 17 used to be a level 6 thats the waste in the po and will never change until the present management is gotten rid of.

I use to feel the same way Denvelt. Until here lately management has put so much on us I hardly get a break any more and only about a 20 minute lunch. While them a**holes sit in there office conferencing all day on the phone on how they can screw you more.You have to have the union to keep management from breaking your back.

The Post Office needs to file for bankruptcy. This will kill all union contracts. THEN, USPS will be unchained from all the stupidity of union rules and slugs that don’t work as hard as they should.

Employees should adhere to 2 fifteen minute breaks and a 30 minute lunch; however, THEY DON’T! Especially the smokers!

Tell Congress to look at the # of PCES (Executives) in the USPS. The massive # will shock the average person. Yet, the cuts Potter makes are to craft employess.

Yeah, that’s it. Consolidate a few Districts, make token cuts at HQ/Area and pretend no one’s looking. It seems everyone is pulling the wool over Congress’s eyes these days so why not the USPS. In any private industry when it starts losing money you change leadership to right the ship. Not here in the USPS, we cut the lower levels of the workforce while rewarding the higher ups who created this mess to continue collecting massive bonuses. Just like the BS that the PCES had their salaries frozen. Have Congress look at it a little more closely and you’ll find that ALL PCES got some monetary bonus at the end of the year. It may have not been added to salary but its cash just the same. If the company were in such dire straits then they should all be forced to give their money back just like AIG.
