Though the Postal Service reduced hours in fiscal 2012, USPS still used over 14 million work hours more than necessary to process mail volume, a Sept. 26 USPS inspector general report says. By reducing those hours, USPS could cut costs of about $628 million, it adds.
Mail volume has declined but the Postal Service has not adjusted work hours in response, nor achieved all possible efficiencies in mail processing operations, the report (.pdf) says.
The IG recommended that work hour reductions are to be completed no later than fiscal 2018 and that management periodically evaluate operating efficiency by assessing performance against the median productivity level for each plant, the report says.

Yet, I ordered something online & paid $6 extra for priority mail thinking it would get here in 1-2 days and it still took me 4 days to get my order. Amazing!
Wasting $600,000,000.00 + a year but by God you have 5 YEARS to fix it? HAHAHAHAHA!
people have to work overtime to make enough money to pay the bills. its a standard practice with law enforcement and other industries. no raise, just work some overtime.
After talking to a postal employee she made a statement " if it wasn't for the junk mail , I wouldn't have a job".
During the past 2 months we took a small poll and counted the daily mail , 89% junk mail or advertisements. ( some days 98%)
I didn't realize the government was a marketing tool for industry.
I spoke to a postal driver at walmart the other day , getting a battery for his personal vehicle on postal time.
He said " we have 6 million people employed and nobody can tell us what to do." " The government will bail us out , the do it for everyone else". " I got my groceries in the truck on company time cause I don't have time to shop , we all do this and our supervisors know it" .
So, you're saying that things are the same today as they were yesterday and the day before? Gee, I wonder what it will be like there tomorrow? HHMMMMMMMMMMMMMmmmmm.
7:53 it's a catch 22. The more you work the more they take for the lazy ones and illegals.
