Postal Service Audit Blasts San Diego Mail Carriers for Inefficiency
Lets talk about perdiem rates. When a management employee travels to another location for a day, they receive astronomical rates to spend on food. Gas, hotel room is all seperate from food allowance. If i go to StLoius, last i heard the daily perdiem rate is $49 for food per day. Now.... if u eat 3x at McDonalds and only spend $14 during the day, u still get the $49 cash in ur pocket after u file your etravel report. Hmmm. roughly 5 days in StLoius and i get $245 for food, even though i only spent $75 for food. So i made easy profit of $170 tax free!! Is management disallowed from using their cell phones while they are working also? No we are not. Has anyone in upper management ever approached me and said, u just wasted 6 minutes walking the longer way to the supply room so u could get ur copy paper, then u stopped at the drinkn fountain for 3 minutes. No they have onot. Today i was on the phone for 20mins listening to someone at district level manager telling me how much weight she has gained due to a health issue she has.... we really are human beings Mr PMG. Its time for some RESPECT and honest conversation about what you are really trying to accomplish & which political party u are affiliated with and who is controlling your puppet strings.— June 12, 2012 6:25 p.m.

And which bozo at Headquarters approved the release of this article to the national news? Last i heard, if management has a problem with a carrier, there is a private one on one discussion with the carrier to determine action to be taken (if any applies). But this appears to be an attempt by USPS Headquarters to slander and manipulate the publics opinion towards their own employees. This makes absolutely no sense. If that was me standing in one of those pictures, id be calling a lawyer immediately because it was never brought to my attention that my face would be on national news article about carriers using time wasting practices.— June 12, 2012 5:56 p.m.

Seriously??? 6 whole minutes per route??? Wow!! This is so ridiculous.... 6 minutes could be getting caught longer at a traffic light. Or waiting for an elderly person to slowly cross the road in front of the carrier vehicle. Or slowing down due to a child running in front of their vehicle. & if they are fingering mail between deliveries & trip over a hose or down some stairs, whose fault is that? This is a crappy crying shame & the USPS should find more useful things to do with their time, than harrassing hard working mail carriers. I am disgusted. BTW... I am in USPS management and disagree with this treatment of USPS employees 100%!!!!!!— June 12, 2012 3:52 p.m.
