The last straw was an insurance bill that arrived, postmarked a month ago, on the date it was due. From 60 miles away. If I have to do everything over the phone (not allowing Visa access to my accounts), why do we have a postal service? bds1961 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

It's all indoors, including the hallways. A few of our residents like delivering the packages to our doors because they're nice people & it gives some of them something to do. When the building manager decided that the package delivery companies needed to deliver the packages to the residents' doors themselves, the USPS carrier refused & would leave them in the mailroom & mark them as delivered. Mail 'delivered' on a Saturday would sit in the mailroom until Monday, when the manager returned. A solution was reached by a package locker being bolted to the floor by the mailboxes in the lobby. So what happens the very next Saturday? Fuckbag leaves them in the mailroom anyway, marking them delivered. I went down to the post office & complained, stating that I don't live in the fucking mail room & it'd be really great if the carrier would do their job & deliver them to the recipients' doors, where they live. They started dissembling, throwing out bullshit excuses of how they don't have time to do that. I reiterated that it's their fucking job; they get paid for it, the hallways are all inside a climate-contolled building, that if they were all separate houses on a street, they would have to drive to each, get out of their mail cart & walk it to the front door, taking much longer than how they are currently all conveniently housed in one building. Time to talk to the postmaster again, so these shitbags do the job for which they're paid. Painsponge and loaderXI 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

Its happening across the whole US. While we do get paper versions of bills, I pay most of our monthly or yearly bills online. Only medical bills get mailed. You can sign up for email notifications of incoming mail at the USPS web site. It doesn't track out going mail though. But at least you can see what your suppose to get that day. And our issue is on Mondays we have sub mail carriers. And they always fuck shit up. We get neighbors stuff and vice versa.

They dont want to hire full time help cause it costs them too much with medical benefits, pensions, 401 K, vacations and a decent wage etc. So they hire people part time , including the USPS, and thats what your gonna get.

Some one who really dont give that much about their job as they will just get another part time job if they get fired. The attitude I'm sensing when I visit the local post office is one of misanthropic fuck you; You can calmly begin to explain an issue, prefacing it with complete equanimity, & you can immediately see- even before you have yet to finish your first statement- a comportment of increasingly resentful agitation which quickly leads to them interrupting you in a defensive tone. So I stand there silently until they make eye contact & then ask if it's ok for me to finish saying what I had begun before they interrupted me. Ended up being my asking to speak with the post master/manger. 'They're not here right now.' When are they gonna be back? 'Don't know, they come & go; we don't keep track of them.' I didn't ask you to keep track of them, do they not have a set schedule of hours during which they're here? 'Yeah, but they come & go, & we don't know when they will return.' Can you contact them? 'No.' So, someone's scheduled to be here, but they're not here, nobody knows where they went, when they're gonna return & nobody has a way to contact them; but they're supposed to be running this place? Then some dude in his early 60s rounds the corner & asks why the packages aren't being left in the package locker newly-bolted to the lobby floor? Well, if I knew the answer to that, I wouldn't be here, would I? I think some of these passive-aggressive c0cksuckers are just waaay too complacent with their what I consider relatively cake job. I've stacked bourbon barrels at a Jim Beam facility, done landscaping, to include climbing trees, laying sod, clearing brush. I've done roofing on sweltering summer days where the prospect of falling off the roof & going to an air-conditioned ER didn't seem like an entirely bad idea at that moment. I've worked in nursing & have had every bodily fluid a human can produce splashed upon my corporeal being. I've wiped asses, cleaned trach tubes, given showers, sponge baths (the answer's 'no', Rob), been cursed & struck by demented patients, worked at a White Castle flipping endless burgers, worked at a pizza joint slapping-out an endless procession of pies & worked a stacked oven in a cramped hot-ass kitchen in the middle of summer; enclosed & climbed 3-story distillation towers to remove asbestos on frigid winter days & these fools have a fuck you attitude doing an easy job that pays & has benefits. Some of these motherfuckers need a good country ass whoopin', need to get tuned-up. loaderXI, RobMc and MikeB 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

Efforts have been ongoing to dismantle the USPS. The current head of the USPS is doing all he can to have the USPS dismantled. I have had so many issues lately with USPS, everyone seems to. I believe the USPS is important for a healthy society and in part is the center of all towns around the country. LONG LIVE THE USPS. Vote wisely folks, pay attention to the news, follow the money, who benefits, who suffers, ask why, when and what for. https://www.epi.org/publication/the-war-against-the-postal-service/ SparksHunter 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our former President also believed IMHO that by pulling equipment, trucks, drop boxes and closing long standing small rural post offices it would get in the way of folks voting by mail during this pandemic since it was the safest way to make your voice heard and was legally allowed across most of the US. However if he could reduce the ability of one of our oldest non Military agencies to do their job he could suppress votes since studies showed that the majority of votes cast by mail were not phony or duplicates and cast by Dem's since they tended to listen to the science about the virus. The current head of the USPS was appointed by 45 and the current USPS Board is dominated by 45 appointees and it is difficult to remove any of them at this time think (45 Deep State). He had a history of overbilling the USPS under the Bush Admin and was a major player in the election of 45 so this is what we have. A man who ran a Private Logistics Company that defrauded us tax payers out of almost 100 Million dollars while under a exclusive contract that didn't go out for competitive bid. My advice is contact those companies that you are paying still by mail and figure out how you can stay ahead of the billing cycles. Insurance companies especially Life love to cancel you as soon as you are late so they get your money and never have to pay out. Good Luck, we pay everything now online and have fraud protection as well as alerts on all the credit reporting companies to not open any new accounts unless they speak to us first. Paying some bills by using your credit card gives you instant protection against fraud and then you just pay your card off each month FYI.

Our distribution center.....not so much. Full of folks that, once in the club, don't feel required to lift a finger. Advice about billing cycles, I don't carry balances on anything, don't carry debt of any kind, and don't care to include the whole planet on my routing information, passwords, or account numbers. Ain't none of anybody's business. This "secure" plan of doing everything online sux. Any company that can shell out 200 million to avoid a bribery investigation can damn sure afford to mail me a bill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

I highly doubt it. Lots of peps work for the usps for years before they get a chance for a full time position. And there is no benefits for part time workers in the usps, Just a lot of younger people that dont want to work but expect everything to be given to them.
