Reply to comment by BudsKind802 in Is USPS okay? by WingsOfFireAndCake

I work for usps and this is so far off base, but not unexpected considering the demographic of this area.. That really has nothing to do with what's happening, especially at the local office level. His changes are logistical, like how the trucks and plants operate and move mail/packages. Those changes are actually legitimate and bringing it up to a more modern standard.

the problems our offices are facing are severe employee shortages and regional management ineptitude, compounded by the increasing Amazon parcel volume.

So mothballing sorting machines didn’t effect efficiency?

Those machines were slated to be decommissioned before he even was appointed. The media clearly did a good job of painting it all as a conspiracy.

I didn't say anything about DeJoy, I asked about efficiency. I'm about fixing the problem, not assigning blame.

As I said, none of those changes to the logistical side of shipping, sorting, and transport affect any efficiency at the local office delivery level. The problem there is lack of staff.

Does your dinner get cooked when you aren't home? No, because there's no one there to cook it. Same reason mail isn't delivered on some routes some days, there no one there to run the route.

I didn’t mean to minimize the human aspect. No doubt that is the number one factor.

Agreed. Amazon is completely burying USPS. Have to see it to believe it, volume is truly unbelievable.

Reason and facts that don’t agree with the narrative = downvotes. Simple equation friend.
