USPS management has made me emotionally numb

I have 20 years of seeing carriers and clerks belittled, bullied, harassed, and berated by management.

A lot of people used to talk about how great it is to work at the post office.

We talk about how great it used to be.

This man thinks the post office is poorly run.

In reality, supervisors will regularly push new workers to their limits with 12-hour days, very little training, and unrealistic expectations.

This leads to a high turnover rate.  The post office is very poorly run.

Vehicles break down with no heat or AC. Zip ties are used to fix windshield wipers.

Some employees work seven days a week, just to name a few issues.

He calls out supervisors for being toxic and difficult to work with.

The supervisor situation is insane.

Literally, anybody can become a supervisor, and that job ruins their personality very quickly.

As a worker, you are viewed as a number and not a person.

Supervisors are there to push metrics. They will go as far as calling people on their day off or driving by your house, like I once heard from another.

He fights against the privatization of the post office.

A lot of this is to vent, but I just want everyone to support the post office.

Stand against privatization.

We need better working conditions, pay, and management to provide the best experience possible to customers.

Also, please pick up your dog’s mess. 🙂
