Delayed mail

Such a shame.... the U.S. Post Office was at one time the best in the world.... May still be better than most, but has issues that stem from bureaucracy and poor management. Cheers, RickO

Tester wrote the U.S. Postmaster General on Monday after the Office of Inspector General revealed that more than 2 billion mailed items were delayed nationwide over a year’s time. Investigators also discovered postal workers manipulating mail delivery time records and inaccurately reporting delayed mail.

I see that all the time here. Scanned as departing but it doesn't make the truck that day, and comes on the next day's truck. This happens on such a regular basis I will guesstimate it happens on 50% of my inbound stuff. (unsure out)

Also, I'm 1 of 2 known forumites who had express mail delivery times changed backwards to indicate an on time delivery.

Several postal employees, including some in Montana, reported mail being intentionally delayed so workers on another shift would have something to do.

yea rite

Yep.............employees can't change delivery times on express mail............the scanners are locked. Only Supervisors can mess with things.

The Post Office where I worked had a supervisor change delivery time on an express mail to reflect that it was delivered before 12:00 P.M. He got caught, was severely reprimanded, and transferred to a different location for doing it.

A falsification can bring a regular employee a dismissal. I guess management just shuffles around its own people like cards.
