SALT LAKE CITY — United States Postal Service employees are saying that USPS managers force employees to falsify delivery information on packages, in order to keep up with on-time delivery rates.
The employees said the delivery rates directly correlate to manager salaries.
Customers around the Salt Lake Valley have voiced concerns on social media that packages shown as ‘delivered,’ don’t arrive for another one to three days on their doorstep.
West Valley City resident Candace Bennion said recently, the USPS showed it delivered three packages to her. While one package arrived, the other two were nowhere to be found.

I refuse to falsify postal records. It violates postal regs and is a fireable offense.It also violates my religious beliefs.Always remember A. V. O. avoid verbal orders
MY PACKAGE WAS DELIVERED FRIDAY 12/14 ACCORDING TO USPS TRACKING, STILL ON 12/18 DID NOT RECEIVE PARCEL.
Where’s the nalc on this? Nowhere to be found. Probably figuring out what we need to give up in the next contract to get our 1% raise.
If you falsify the scans you should be fired.
Also been going on in Williamsport , PA , 17701
Going on for years and years in North Texas. Just ties in with managements pay for performance. Helps them get fraudulent bonus’s too. It’s all a crime and you know damn well the postal inspectors know it too. Sad they all get paid to send the USPS down the tubes.
You folks sound like the Claude Reins character in Casablanca. [to crudely paraphrase] “Gambling? Here? I am shocked; shocked I am!”
Big shock here.
How do you know when a manager is lying?
THEIR LIPS ARE MOVING
If you falsify the scans then you are an idiot.
If you claim your Manager forced you to falsify scans and you did it then you are an idiot. You should report it to the inspection service.
Pinellas County, FL is another example of the let’s-make-sure-this-square-peg-fits-in-this-round-hole fiasco. My sister-in-law is a carrier and this happens on a daily basis. Supervisors have also been performing clerk work for hours on end for over two years where she is in Clearwater.
Sad part about all these statements which most likely are true- nobody is going to do anything to Mismanagement! They have lied, falsified docs, treated employee’s like shit and yes for the pay for no performance award! Congress the president , nobody is going to do a thing about it. WAIT TO WHEN AMAZON PULLS THE PLUG ON USPS-IF THAT HAPPENS- THE REAL SHIT WILL HIT THE FAN- I HOPE THE RIF’S START FLYING AND ALL THEM SORRY ASS MISMANAGERS GET PACKING. TO MANY GOOD EMPLOYEE’S HAVE SUFFERED AND ARE STILL SUFFERING FROM THE POS MISMANAGERS. LIKE I SAID NOTHING IS GOING TO HAPPEN……… GOOD-DAY
How about the PM getting paid level 18 pay working 10 hours a week.
In CT valley. Sitting in the parking lot with her drug dealer son smoking
pot. They know in Hartford and do nothing.
this is nothing new; the carriers issues are credible; that’s why phone calls weren’t returned
Unfortunately, it has been happening all across the country for years. I have been instructed to do so myself. When I refused, I was issued a letter of warning for failure to follow instructions. I have not refused since.
When these comments are read and commented on, it will be the clerks and carriers who will be penalized for these actions, not the supervisors, postmasters or district managers who issue directives that this be done.
This issue has been going on forever around the country.
The toolbags in charge are only concerned with getting
their pay for performance “bonuses: any way possible. Lie,
cheat, steal , falsify records, commit fraud, anything for a dollar.
This is another reason why the PO is on its last leg. Incompetence
breeds incompetence. It starts at the top and cascades down. If
congress just fired everyone EAS 17 and above and hired real and
competent people maybe the PO could be saved. Good luck
to you new hires and anyone needing more than 10 years to
retire. The PO just might not exist in 10 years
I agree; ten years max. Once Amazon is gone, that’s it, lights out.
The first thing most companies cut is retiree pensions including current retirees. So I wouldn’t get so excited like your good.
Anyone who has worked for the postal service as I have for 30 years knows that the Postal Service is a fraudulent operation. Managers and I use the word MANAGERS lightly as they are usually people with NO education or skills in managing people and operations and could not get a job as a doorman in the private sector only know one thing, make the Postmaster happy and make sure that all packages are scanned as delivered on the day they arrive, (even though) many may be left in the office in the name of making it back to the office on time and delivered another day and it also covers their behinds from actions that would be taken against them by the Postmaster. As another example, the district put out a memorandum that the Box Mail should not be scanned as completed until all mail and packages are completely processed. Guess what, the clerks are still boxing the mail and the supervisor will come by and scan the mail as completed to the box section to make the up time and the clerks finish 2 hours later. I have witnessed this very thing happen time and time again, all in the name of looking good. Really the USPS has become a fraud and should be investigated.
Happens here too as well as other locations throughout the country. Of course as usual, there will be zero repercussions or accountability to mgmt.
Corruption and unethical behavior infests the eas ranks.
Postal management lies as much as trump
