managements right to (mis)manage, how’s that been going?
The Postal Service’s ministry of propaganda will be busy spreading their ideas. They will say the employees are over compensated, and should work for less! I only hope the limousines will be able to cart the big time operators around town in comfort!
Believe half of what u c
Nothing what u hear
Since when does the USPS have any idea what “marketplace realities” are? They have turned a deaf ear to every concern except Darryl Issa and his cronies in D.C. Brennan sent out a touchy-feely letter to all employees, expressing being “humbled” to be the PMG. Humble as a rabid badger. Brags about being a carrier, even though it was only nine months and she bailed, saying she had physical problems. Since then it’s been nothing but riding the coattails of Pat Donahoe, the same way other managers climb the ladder. The good ones don’t get very far because like the craft, somebody has to do the real work. I will say my PM and immediate supervisor do put in an honest day’s work, a rarity these days, but I know there are others who also do well in their management positions.
But the rest? We know the types without beating that tired old drum over and over.
But these non-profit mailers are mainly crooked church outfits, sending their shameless pleas for money for Israel, the starving children in Botswana, introducing clean water and Jesus to people in some forsaken third world hell hole, and pocketing most of it. One outfit sends out cheap shit like “prayer cloths”, trinkets and promises that God will make the addressee rich while those at the “church” pray over their offerings. But what’s really sick is how many ignorant people have allowed themselves to be duped over and over again, with fear and superstition in command of their free will, plus the fear of death and what will happen if they don’t pay enough to get in.
The Postal Service must stop this entire category of mailings. I don’t mind church bulletins, I suppose, but the religious community has dodged taxes and gotten away with murder in the interest of people’s spiritual welfare. The Inspection Service should shut down charlatans like Richard Roberts, Benny Hinn, Joyce Meyer and other notorious mailers always looking for more money. Or failing that, make those bastards pay full postage like everybody else has to do. It is not the USPS’ responsibility to be in charge of our morals, and it’s plain wrong to allow these criminals to use the system free of charge, or even getting subsidized by guess who – the Postal Service! How many more millions would the USPS have if they shut these pariahs down?
Most of what Brennan said above are mostly lies!!
