In a letter to Ted Keating, President of the National Association of Postal Supervisors USPS wrote:
This is in response to your recent request for consideration to include all additional EAS field positions as part of a Voluntary Early Retirement (VER) request to Office of Personnel Management (OPM). As you are aware, we currently have received approval to offer a VER option to eligible Supervisors, Customer Service and Supervisor, Distribution Operations. No additional approval has been provided at this time. As part of a broader strategic plan, we have made a decision to request authorization for additional positions, including those that you are recommending. It is important to reiterate however that there is no approval from OPM regarding additional EAS positions at this time. I will notify you once we have additional information. see letter
Very well said jpf. It’s very sad that so many are so disgruntled and unhappy that they must find happiness in judging others they don’t even know. I love the Postal Service and what it has given me in the years I have spent serving the public. I will dearly miss all the people I have worked with in the 31 years I have worked very hard here. It’s a wonderful place to be employed and has given me a lot.
W it is a sad day when fellow postal employees bash each other. Their are a number of supervisors who do an excellent job, granted a number go through the motions but that is like any other craft. This is reality, all areas are being reduced volume is in a downward progression and that will not change. By the way your numbers a little off. Everyone try to be somewhat constructive in your comments.
The future of the USPS, 50,000 clerks, 20,000 mail handlers, 175,000 carriers, and 250,000 useless pieces of crap postal stupidvisors and postmasters.
Way to go board of governors
Let my people go.
Why didn’t the P.O. simply request approval for everyone in the organization who meet the age and years requirement at the same time? They could then let them go by senority at the appropriate times. Just more incompetence.
“It ain’t OVER TILL ITS OVER” !!! The fat lady
is singing…. and she’s a postal supervisor!
IN OUR OFFICE THE ONLY THING WE NEED A SUPERVISOR FOR IS TO PUT OUR TIME SHEETS IN SO WE GET PAID AND TO MAKE A SCHEDULE. THIS COULD BE DONE A BY CLERK AT A MUCH LOWER PAY. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY POST MASTERS & DISTRICT MANG ARE KEEPING THERE FAT PAYING SALARY JOBS. THERE THE ONES THAT NEED EARLY OUTS AND THE USPS WOULD SAVE BILLIONS ON THERE SALARYS AND THE DUMB DECISION THEY MAKE.
Beautiful! anyone over 30 years of service needs to go. It’s amazing the incompetence that flows throughout postal service. We’re short clerks, pitching and scanning are parcels and still not making office time! The remedy…our Area Manager has instructed the station manager to run the floor to get the carriers to the street. Micro management is a wonderful thing. How about this numbnuts…HIRE MORE FREAKIN CLERKS!!
All INCOMPETENT POSTAL MANAGERS could take a VER and no one would notice them being gone,because they are overstafffed,over paid and overly stupid!
