Wow, is this business a glutton for punishment, or what?
Facing billions of dollars in losses the post office is considering all options in its effort to cut costs. So, the commission that oversees the postal service and the post office’s Inspector General are asking for suggestions from the public.
Send your ideas to the postal regulatory commission at prc.gov or the postal inspector general website at blog.uspsoig.gov.
Actually, this is pretty cool. I’m glad they are asking for input instead of treating us like peons or criminals under security cameras. The post office is ragged on by everybody, but so few people have any constructive ideas on how to help solve their problems. This is supposed to be OUR postal service, not the government’s who so graciously dole it out to us, right?
Well, I will be making this suggestion to the Post Office:
Don’t look to the bottom rung (i.e., the carriers, and eliminating delivery days) to fix your financial problems. Look to the TOP rung– look at the administration and the bloated bureaucracy at the top. The Postal Service is one great big upside-down pyramid. It’s top heavy. Start to condense jobs and eliminate over-lapping duties, and for God’s sake, get rid of the waste. For example, you do not need three bosses to oversee one post office. There are too many layers of administration. This is why government and public education are so costly, as well.
Plus, I give you my advice for FREE.
And it’s good advice!
