GREENACRES, Fla – All of these residents have dropped by the post office to complain, but asked the Consumer Watchdog for help.
“Three post offices we went to in one day and got no satisfaction at all,” said Grabinski.
The Watchdog got the postmaster to watch the route closely. The problem routes were recently changed to balance workloads and the post office admits that caused a learning curve with new mail carriers.
Residents say they only have problems when there’s a sub delivering their mail, but it’s a problem the postmaster is committed to correcting.
Greenacres residents upset with USPS over missing mail and say it’s costing them money
Hey Scotty Boy…then why doesn’t the union and labor step up and propose to do a better job? won’t happen cause labor & unions need someone else to blame for all their entitled lemming members. If they ran the place who would they blame? themselves?
Well said Scott
This is the face of the new USPS when the career employees finally retire and are rotated out by the CCA’s just starting. Management wants cheap labor, doesn’t want to take the time to train them properly, and then act mystified when all hell breaks loose on the street as the newbies are ordered to practically run, the hell with the accuracy. Seems management wasn’t counting on the horrendous misdeliveries. Golly gee, how could these mental marvels possibly have overlooked something? This is what happens when they depend strictly on numbers schemes and have no interest or comprehension of actual physical handling of the mail.
Of course, what would they know? Very very few carriers ever go inside, and those who do at least on the city side are terrible carriers in their own right, ass kissers, snitches and are usually detested by other carriers whose routes they destroy and mangle in the regular carriers’ absences.
New carriers, listen to an old hand: it’s accuracy first, safety first. Not that you should go at a snail’s pace like some goof offs do who hide behind the union while they do it, and I should know, being a long time branch president. However, there is a threshold where one can only go so fast and still be reliable and dependable. That means reading names, not just streets and numbers, looking at names in boxes, not throw mail on vacant slips and other stuff management couldn’t care less about. But you should because if this trend of sloppy carrying continues people will go to other sources to get their correspondence done and you’ll run yourself right out of a job because your bosses are idiots.
The only reason the service is still alive is because of labor, make no mistake. No bean counter ever contributed jack shit, only harassed to get the numbers they want. We are the public face and as long as we do our work, the Service will stay intact, even though it means management will continue to be overpaid freeloaders, but that’s something we can’t do much about. Talk to the better carriers – let them teach you. You’ll be glad you did.
