Sen. Ossoff questions postmaster general about Atlanta mail delay issues

The Georgia senator questioned the postmaster general as part of a hearing on postal issues across the country.

What a freaking liar!!! He has ruined USPS! He needs to GO!!

[@vikctorrkreedd6418]

😂 It already sucked now it's worse.

[@borbco]

He singlehandedly ruined the postal service. Dump DeJoy!

[@chickenstick321]

False, he is the only one actually trying too save it. Overall deliveries are 95% with 65% of those deliveries arriving early. Using an anecdotal fallacy of Atlanta is misinformation.

[@stevestowell8752]

False he is helping the postal service and as an employee we are pleased with what he has done.

[@lanceash]

He's a crook. How can you install someone as Postmaster General who owns a company that is a direct competitor to the USPS?

[@chickenstick321]

None of the PO workers I know have had any issues receiving their pay.

[@Abaazigal]

He ordered all overtime to get our mail caught up to stop. Instead he’s giving bigger bonuses to management. My facility has millions of letters and flats built up and they are cutting to positions that are made to deal with it.

[@jenniferhermann6177]

Same at my plant!

[@jacky10goal92]

Yes all management doing is focused on cutting overtime instead of getting the mail on time

[@dragmatic]

Volume has decreased so why should there be OT?

[@Abaazigal]

@@dragmaticyet the mail being processed isn’t being delivered on time or not at all. What does cutting man hours and more money to motivate management to slow production helps this scenario?

[@jenniferhermann6177]

Management compentence....does NOT exist!! I have worked for the USPS for 28 years. This is by far the worst of times ever. DeJoy has killed us. Local Management has never been more horrible as it is currently. People do not come to work because of Management. Our current acting plant manager has told multiple employees they are worthless. The problem isn't just ATL. My plant deals with them daily. It's so bad that as of last week there was 94 gaylords of non-machinable parcels still not processed. I know at least 1 of them had been sitting here since April 1. I DO NOT AGREE IN PRIVATIZATION OF THE USPS!! It is a SERVICE. What I DO agree with is a total overhaul in Management from the bottom up.

[@dragmatic]

An overhaul is in process but nobody wants it to happen.

What about the proper training of management. We need people with knowledge of how the mail is tan. They need to the logistics and and operations. Time is essential, experience and education. Proper training of the machines and the functions. They need to know how to sort manually if the machines are not operational. Consolidation doesnt help with the problem it’s delaying the mail.

[@dragmatic]

Dejoy has been in the logistics business for decades. He knows what works but he can’t make employees do anything thanks to the unions.

[@JacquelineAndrews-qb9zr]

My husband worked for the Postal Service as a City Carrier, Supervisor, Training Specialist, and an EEO Specialist. He always would say that the incompetence in the Postal Service is at an all-time high. They don't honor promoting persons of educational (bachelor's degrees or higher) to entry level positions, instead there is unchecked nepotism and favoritism. The Union prevents honorable blue-collar employees to get fired. And if white-collar workers voice their opinion regarding future improvements, the hard-liner white-collars manager with "past" thinking we look at it as if the new blood in not failing in line. My husband would say, you should judge a job based on your kids. By asking yourself a question, would you want your kids to work there? My kids are college students and there is NO WAY I would want my kids to work there. ONLY as a last resort, and that after McDonald's, as my husband would state!

Louis DeJoy has been systematically reducing the USPS ability to deliver mail on time, ever since he was sworn in to be Postmaster General. He has removed mail sorting machines and has made other changes that have reduced their ability to deliver mail on time. He needs to be removed and replaced by someone who is actually able to make sure that mail is delivered on time, which is something that Louis DeJoy has been trying to deliberately prevent. Please remove him from the Postal Service ASAP! Thank you for sharing! Please have an excellent and awesome day! ☀️✨⚖️

Meanwhile certain station managers are having us to cut back or delay mail we received so they can look good to their boss as if they are saving the post office money. This way they get bonuses and we as carriers get a pay cut. Toxic environment.
