Postal Service Audit Blasts San Diego Mail Carriers for Inefficiency
I like the comment made by the supervisor that he did not have time because of office paperwork. When I first start with the USPS, Iwent on loan one day to another office. The PM demanded a min of i hr street observation by the supervisor on a daily basis. On this particular day, the supervisor was full of excuses. The PM wasn't buying it and ordered him into the office. The supervisor came out a minute or two later and it appeared that a certain part of his body had been altered. As long as you pay people an hourly wage with as many uncontrolable factors effecting a carrier's ability to get done in 8 hrs, the choas will continue. Evaluated routes is the answer. The PMG is not smart enough to see this. I would laugh in the supervisor's face when I would get out 20 minutes late and he would tell me to make it up on the street. This was after the carrier next to me would tell him he would be over 1 hour and he would say nothing.— June 12, 2012 7:58 p.m.
Postal Service Audit Blasts San Diego Mail Carriers for Inefficiency
At some point in time,parcels must be rehandled to put them in some kind of order for delivery. Since the USPS has no defined system, you will find that it varies from office to office.I would tray my small parcels and divide my big ones as to front part or rear part of the route. Front would go on the left side of the vehicle and back part of the route would go on the right side.If they are not in some semblance on order when the carrier leaves, expect wasted time on the route. Cell phones- another joke. My PM walked with me one day and had 7 incoming calls and made 7 outgoing ones. Mgt is just as bad as craft in this area. either make everyone leave them at their case or just deal with it. I went into the PM's office one day as he got a call from his wife. I stood there for 17 minutes as she yelled at him to do something because the granddaughter had taken a Sharpie to the family room wall. The system is indeed broken and you are worried about 6 minutes.— June 12, 2012 7:44 p.m.
