Postal Pulse survey results
USPS – 5/3/16 – In 2015, for the first time in 17 years, the Postal Service administered an improved employee census survey, Postal Pulse, as a way to ensure all employees know they can make a difference in their work environment.
We greatly value the feedback and were pleased to see that employees understand what is expected of them at work and also have the opportunity to use their skills and knowledge at work. However, the results of the first survey demonstrate there is much room for improvement.
We are laser-focused on making the needed improvements. To do that, we are taking decisive action, including training all postal leaders on how to make timely improvements in their work locations, and holding them accountable. We are realistic, and we know making needed changes will take some time.
Our employees are the Postal Service’s most valuable asset, and we are committed to focusing all resources necessary to improve every work environment in the Postal Service.
omG i just waited a freak’n hour to get through to the usps then accepted the survey (big mistake). the customer service rep was so amazing that I wanted to give a good review but the survey is so ridiculously long with questions that make no sense. how old am I , what schooling did i have. i wish they would send a survey on the survey so i can give it the worst rating ever. completely turned me off on usps. stupid
This is what I see from my experience being a carrier. If the city carrier side was set up like the rural carrier side, then being a mail carrier would be much more enjoyable – less micromanagement and management would be reduced. Management needs to be reduced because a lot of them are only happy if the carrier is not happy. They always feel better when a carrier has a hard day. They don’t want a carrier to have a nice easy day. After a carrier has worked a very hard day, some supervisors will only tell that carrier that they missed an MSP or that they missed a clock ring, or something like that. I should say that some management employees are nicer than others. Having a miserable supervisor can make the job hell, especially for the city carriers. The city carriers have it much worse than the rural carriers. That’s why I say that the city carrier side should be set up like the rural carrier side.
They know damn well this place is bad to work at. Look at the postal pulse questions. That’s all you need to do. They don’t even try to find out how we feel, how we are treated, are we respected, are we given enough time with our workload, do we feel appreciated.
Of course they wouldn’t ask us that. Instead they ask if we have a best friend at work, if there’s someone at work who encourages my development (WTF!!, what about Carriers who have 30 years? What development??!!!), and other silly, vague, or non serious questions. It’s a damn shame they actually were allowed to release such a poor excuse of a survey.
NOT
A thing has changed since last survey yet they are sending another? New manager is the bully to beat all bullies. Nothing about her is respectable. I will not waste my time filling it out
This is such bs. That’s why it took a freedom of information to release the info. The results were so bad it was almost criminal. When 247,000 employees say it sucks to work here. It sucks to work here. Your not going to fix _.
Total lies… 34.8 years of loyal service,with a bonus of an painful occupational disease accepted by owcp that has now awarded me with being fired and facing 6 counts of felony wc fraud because of a lying special agent/OIG. The new TV show depicting all these agents as heros is artificial at least.OWCP is a broken system that does not allow you the treatment to get well there main medical protocall is pain killers and meds that one can not function on.
Translation…. Blah, blah, blah.. business as usual.
This is a comedy piece. “they can make a difference in their work environment”. You guys need to get of the Plaza more frequently.
If they “greatly valued the feedback”, why did it take 17 years?
“much room for improvement” Really? What was your first clue? If you had been in the field you would have seen it. It would have been like a zit on the end of your nose.
“We are laser focused”. Now where have I heard that before? Next thing you know we will hear “we will not rest”. Don’t piss on my leg and tell me it is raining.
“We are realistic”. Not sitting behind that CRT and demanding that the field supervisors make the numbers.
DOIS was supposed to be a guide. Today, it is an absolute.
“Needed changes will take some time”. You mean like 17 years. I heard Potter say this years ago. We are still waiting.
“Our employees are our most valuable asset”. Could have fooled me. Just don’t call in sick. Get back in 8 hours.
Probably the funniest piece of PO propaganda I have ever read. Show me your serious by quit pressuring carries, and cut the routes to actual 8 hours, and not a computer 8 hours. Quit badgering carriers when they call in sick. I personally know a PTF clerk, who is retiring after 20 years, because he can’t stand to work for the slave drivers for another 10. Many have already left. Myself included.
