USPS Early Retirement Packages Available To 3,500 Employees

The Postal Service is offering early retirement to 3,300 workers so it doesn't have to hand out pink slips. The agency said it was trying to avoid reductions in force. This round of buyouts targets managers and administrative staff. They will have until the end of the year to leave. More than 60,000 postmasters and mail handlers received buyout offers earlier this year. The Postal Service said it was also making organizational changes to save money. It was consolidating processing centers and its computerized forwarding system.

That's a no brainer.Better something permanent than 97 weeks of unemployment.
