Our last carrier threw the mail in and left all the mailbox doors open most of the time. He didn't care if the mail got wet, only how FAST he could finish his route ! If I conducted myself like they do, I wouldn't have a job ! :(
They have a great union that looks after them plus they're an arm of the Federal Government.
So, why should they care? They know they have a job...
A friend retired from the postal service last year and while he received his retirement check, it was only part of what he had coming. He had to wait 7 months to get the full amount he had coming to him...."...because so many of you retired at the same time."
As a saying goes, name one Federal Program that functions in the black.
