NY Metro, Northeast Areas to be merged

The Postal Service announced today that the New York Metro Area based in Flushing NY is to be merged into the Northeast Area, which has offices in Windsor CT. NY Metro is responsible for New York City, Long Island, Westchester, and part of New Jersey. The Northeast Area office currently handles the New England states, and upstate New York.

Northeast Area VP Tim Haney will serve as Acting VP for the NY Metro Area starting Monday, with the goal of completing the consolidation of the two areas by the beginning of the new fiscal year on October 1, when he will return to Windsor as AVP of the combined area.

In the interim, Linda Kingsley, Senior Vice President, Strategy and Transition,will serve as acting VP for the Northeast.

The announcement also states that “With responsibilities for a significantly increased geographic area, the Northeast Area office will maintain a presence both in Connecticut and New York.”

    If “the Northeast Area office will maintain a presence in both Connecticut and New York,” what the hell is the point of a consolidation? More backwards thinking. . .

    Prior to the 1992 reorganization, New York City was part of the old Northeast Region, which operated out of the same location in Windsor that the Northeast Area does today.

    If the name of the game is to save money, why would a leased building in CT. be considered over and owned building in NY?
