US Postal Service reviews

I am shocked at the poor management I have witnessed while only being on the job for a month. The only thing management cares about is numbers...not the people or the customers, but meeting (sometimes arbitrary) deadlines and keeping costs down. While I understand that this is a business, there are better ways to increase profits than by riding your employees into the ground and constantly infringing on union contracts that cause you to pay out more money in grievances than if you could just run things with some common sense to begin with. Another thing...if you hire someone as a full time employee on a year contract it would be nice to actually work them full time. Maybe I'm not fast enough and they're trying to get me to quit, but I go in with a smile and work hard every day they call me in and I've only worked about 15 days in the last month. I haven't even done a split (worked part of a mail route) yet, I've only been delivering parcels. How am I supposed to get better and faster at this job if they aren't even giving me a chance? - poor management and communication - unpredictable schedule and hours - no benefits - constant issues between employees and management requiring union action - pressure to work in unsafe manner/environment (using a 2 ton to deliver box to box on a busy two lane street?!) - lack of respect for new employees (being told to come in at a certain time and then repeatedly sent home with no work)

Management, Management, MANAGEMENT!!!! By far the biggest group of incompetent idiots that I've ever been around. Being recently separated from the military where family was very important, I was hit with a huge uppercut when I got this job They care nothing about your well-being at all......only their numbers! If you're even 1 minute (unit) late to clock back in from lunch, prepare to get scolded like a child. If the piece of crap machine you're assigned to isn't running mail consistently despite the numerous paper jams that stops the machine.....you're getting scolded again! Managers were out to sabotage other managers "numbers" and the low ranking employees were used as collateral. Was so happy that a contractor from Lackland Air Force Base e-mailed me with a job offer while I was on break. Not only did I NOT go back to my assigned machine, I searched for the closest supervisor and told them I resign effective "IMMEDIATELY". Signing off on that resignation letter was like being released from prison......FREEEEEEEEEEDOM!!!!!
