You are right, Bill, and once they do it once, it can become habitual, to meet the time constraints.
Management treats them like slaves, and expects them to ride magic carpets.
They give them so much work and insufficient time to do it, so they drive unsafely, cut corners, make mistakes, and then resort to just dumping circulars.
There is NO excuse for this. It happens more often than you think. NO ONE wants to get to the bottom of it. So I will give you the bottom of it. Management punches in a bunch of numbers, and tells the carrier how long it should take to deliver the amount of mail they are given. Many (especially new carriers) will not challenge management on their demand. So they find it easier to pitch it, than to go back in and see the seething face of the manager, because the carrier did not meet managements expectations.This is going on all across the country, and NO ONE is doing anything about it. It will happen again. The carriers that do this, are not veteran carriers. We know how to argue with their fantasy numbers. The carrier is allowed input, but then is ignored.
