Edgar is the second USPS Information Technology (IT) Vice President to leave since last year’s cyber intrusion incident (or data breach). Chuck McGann, Chief Information Security Officer and Digital Solutions VP, retired from USPS just eight days after it was announced a major cyber intrusion potentially compromised the data of approximately 800,000 current and former employees. McGann joined a federal IT contractor the next month in December 2014.

Gregory Crabb
In May, USPS placed Gregory Crabb in the position of Acting Chief Information Security Officer and Digital Solutions Vice President. Crabb formerly was Inspector In Charge, Revenue, Product and Global Security at the U.S. Postal Inspection Service.
phillydiva215, if you read what I posted above even if they hired you, they would not have utilized your skill set (BA in IT). They would have sent/put you with the standing management of any department and instructed you to do as they say.
It is the Postal way to place/put-in/give positions to individuals that have not the knowledge or skill set to perform the jobs. if you look at the backgrounds of the individuals in these positions few if any have any knowledge of the business parts of their jobs. Even when the postal service hires degreed individuals they rarely place them in positions in which they been degreed in. This is how the postal service works and I see no change ever coming to this institution.
If they would have hired me (since I do already have a bachelor’s in IT anyway, there would be less hacking. #imjustsaying
