I flew mail for the post office. It’s the most corrupt organization I’ve ever encountered. They would delay the mail so the second shift would have work. They would delay the mail so the majority of it would miss the flights (by majority I mean I’ve flown literally 1 box of crickets) They did this so they could send extra trucks. The brother of the postal service manager owned the trucking business. Seriously I love what the post office does but it needs a massssssssive overhaul.

I agree.

Plus the equipment is dated and their modernization is lacking.

Look at the post vehicles, far too small for current routes and not designed for today's modern package-heavy mail load.

We get 2-3 post vehicles in my housing allotment each day since they can't haul it all in 1.

How is it hard? You drive mailbox to mailbox and you don’t even have to mind traffic because you have the right of way. Ohhh I’m an idiot.

I typed it out and realized I was an idiot, but wasn’t going to waste the effort! Made it sound wrong at that! No regrats.

Lol the people to blame are the ones at the top. Not the guy who literally works the entry level position and is telling you where money should have been spent.

Ehhh I used to bail 1700 bails of hay every day on average, many times quite a bit more, working the top of the elevator in the mile for five years. If you want to sit there and circle jerk about working. I’ve also had a job that I’ve walked 13 miles a day for a year. That was cake. But yeah, I’ve never done anything!

Government entities like the Post Office, MVA are real live examples of why socialism doesn’t work. The USPS has a monopoly and still manages to lose billions a year.

Corruption.

Corruption and just shit management. If they were allowed to fail to a certain degree, for example by losing market share, then they would maybe pull up their pants and get at least even, instead of losing all of our money.

I'd rather pay any other delivery company for a quick and reliable delivery than support that sloppy government cash blackhole

The post office has had competition in the past. That's why competition was outlawed.

I swear I’ve seen that happen with UPS surepost. My package moves steadily along via UPS and as soon as it hits my post office progress comes to a screeching halt. It can take 2 days for it to travel from my post office, that I could easily walk to, to my house.

UPS hires people with some ambition to do well, which is why they succeed so much.

USPS just bangs boxes around and kicks them to your door. When they have the time to do it between autofellatios.

time to do it between autofellatios.

To be fair, if i could perform autofellatio everything else would be a distant afterthought.

Same. For me the average is 3 days from it being delivered to the post office in my area to it being delivered to me. Makes no sense. I've had it take 5 days before. Absolutely no reason. I wish ups and FedEx would stop using SurePost.

They need to gut their leadership and start afresh.

Trump should push some appointments.
