Oh that’s big business…are you kidding me?!?!?!?
We have supervisors and Post Masters getting physical with craft employees and they’re going to slay someone with a grand jury over $60???
I read recently, a postal supervisor was charged with stealing $7000 cash out of the mail.
As a sentence, she got one year unsupervised probation, and a $300 fine.
Think this craft employee will get off that easy ?
Neither do I.
Dumb ass!
I stole thousands upon thousands dollars and nobody touches a hair on my leg.
