In the flier distributed this week, the postal worker wrote in part:
“During the period of March 12- March 25, 2016, I would really appreciate your help.
The USPS “counts” every piece of mail, parcels, etc. that I handle. The purpose of this 2- week sampling is to set my pay, paid time off, etc. for the ensuing year.
So please mail, mail, order, order, click and ship all you can…”
In the flier, the postal worker goes on to write: “increasing my workload during this “sampling period” might actually get me a paid-day off… What a concept!”
In response to the carrier’s letter, the USPS released this statement:
“The carrier’s note was not endorsed by the Postal Service and is against policy that prohibits solicitation of the public. We apologize to the customers who received it and assure them that appropriate action will be taken.” Read more
They always give u all entle mail out before the the count bro! Nothing left to be count dont u think??? Then u suffer for election coming plus chrismas amazon parcel with no help and make eval time and get pay H rought???
Very often I have seen that a carrier’s volume decreases substantially during a count. Then mysteriously the volume returns to normal and a lot of parcels show up the following week.
Still, it was pretty stupid to write such a note.
Hey Thomas – SHE should lose her job immediately – why? because she is too dumb to be driving around delivering mail.
Jeez – how could someone be so damned dumb – trying to increase your work during mail count by asking your postal customers to increase their mailings…wow – what an idiot.
So, he’s trying to ensure job security and AT THE SAME TIME, INCREASING BUSINESS FOR THE USPS! I call that a win/win.
